Chapter 3140
"Nicole, Lulu, this is Doretta, a distant relative of mine," Emma introduced to Nicole and
Lulu.
"This is Nicole, Ellar's fraternal cousin, and that's Lulu, Nicole's brother's wife," Emma
continued with the introductions.
After the greetings, Dexter encouraged everyone, saying, "Alright, we're all family here, no
need to be formal. Let's eat." "Okay," everyone agreed, picking up their utensils.
"Patricia, try this," Ellar immediately served Patricia her favorite dish.
Lulu saw this and gave Nicole an ambiguous smile, raising her eyebrows.
Nicole chuckled softly, then turned to Dexter and Emma. "Uncle Dexter, Emma, you both
look great recently, seems like you're enjoying yourselves." "Of course, we're thrilled,"
Emma replied, looking at Patricia with a satisfied smile.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPatricia felt embarrassed, her face turning red.
She glanced at Ellar, aware that their relationship was fake. But now, the situation seemed
out of her control, and she realized she hadn't planned carefully. She had thought they
could easily 'break up' later without much trouble. However, she now feared that Emma
might be hurt by such an outcome.
However, admitting that her relationship with Ellar was fake would mean they had
deceived Dexter and Emma. She was sure Dexter and Emma would be deeply hurt by that
revelation.
Ellar served Patricia more food and then casually remarked, "As long as you're happy, it
makes my life a bit easier," adopting a tone that suggested mild annoyance.
Everyone laughed heartily, once again lightening the mood.
Nicole's eyes narrowed slightly as she noticed Patricia's hesitation. She understood
Patricia's concerns and doubts; indeed, the situation seemed tricky.
At this point, the only way forward was to proceed with the plan. She hoped to apprehend
Doretta soon to avoid dragging things out and minimizing potential hurt.
As these thoughts passed through her mind, Nicole's gaze shifted back to Doretta.
Doretta was attentively serving Emma, expressing her gratitude, "Aunt Emma, I'm starting
work tomorrow. I really have to thank you and Ellar for helping me land such a great job.
Don't worry, I'll work hard and do my best.
"You're just starting your career; don't put too much pressure on yourself. If there's
anything you don't understand, go to Eliar. He'll help you," Emma advised.
Dexter added, "Knowing you're there to help Ellar gives US peace of mind." "I'll definitely
do my best," Doretta assured with a serious and earnest expression.
"Do you need to prepare anything for your first day at work?" Emma asked, concerned.
"I've got everything ready," Doretta replied sweetly.
Lulu glanced at her, then teasingly said to Ellar, "With Patricia and now Doretta at your
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmside, you sure have plenty of help now." "I can't really offer much help; I'll still need Ellar's
guidance," Doretta said, slightly embarrassed.
"Not at all, I hear you're quite the talent. All you needed was an opportunity.
Who knows, maybe one day, Ellar will be relying on you," Lulu complimented with a
playful smile.
"Patricia is too kind; I'm not that impressive," Doretta demurred, then looked at Patricia, "If
anyone's impressive, it's Patricia. And the only one who can truly help Ellar will be his
future wife." "We're all family here; we help each other out," Emma chimed in, thinking the
conversation was casual. She urged everyone to focus more on eating than talking.
Lulu and Nicole exchanged a look, silently acknowledging Doretta's skill with words. It was
clear why Emma admired her so much.
Nicole subtly smiled, skillfully changing the subject to talk about other family matters.
After dinner, Patricia took her leave.
