Mrs. and Mr. Smith

Edward Green was talking on the phone as he rushed in, and only then did he realize that Ethan Smith had already woken up.

He quickly covered his mouth and subconsciously hid his mobile phone behind his back.

Unfortunately, Ethan had heard his conversation.

He coldly looked at Edward and asked, “Who’s engaged to who?”

No … nobody.” Edward quickly waved his hands.

“Give me the phone.” Ethan said in a cold tone.

Edward coughed to change the subject, “Well… Mr. Smith, you’re awake, let me make you something to eat.”

“Hand me the phone!” Ethan yelled.

Knowing he couldn’t hide it anymore, Edward reluctantly handed the phone to Ethan.

Upon receiving the phone, Ethan immediately looked at the screen.

A news headline caught his eye:

Alliance of the Century! Engagement Ceremony of the Blair and Taylor Families!

Ethan quickly clicked on the news, and it was indeed about the engagement between Emily Taylor and Dexter Blair!

On September 9th, Dexter Blair and Emily Taylor will be getting married in Capital City!

The date, September 9th, was chosen for its symbolism of longevity.

The date was reportedly determined by the most powerful mystical Master of the present times!

Besides the text, there were also photos from the engagement day in the news.

In the picture, Emily Taylor had a cold expression on her face, not a hint of a smile, and seemed completely out of place in the joyous atmosphere.

Ethan read the news, fists clenched tightly!

He climbed out of bed and turned to leave.

“Ethan, where are you going?” Sofia Carrillo asked anxiously.

Ethan coldly said: “Going to the Taylor family, I am taking Emily back.”

“Mr. Smith, isn’t that just walking into death?” Edward also rushed to say.

Ethan clenched his teeth and said: “So what if I’m going to die! Am I supposed to watch Emily marry someone else!”

“You can’t go!” Edward wrapped his arms tightly around Ethan’s waist.

“Walk away.” Ethan said coldly.

But Edward didn’t flinch, he held onto Ethan fiercely.

“Get away from me!” A strong aura suddenly erupted from Ethan!

This energy blasted Edward away!

At that moment, Sofia stood in front of Ethan.

She took a deep breath and said: “Ethan, I know you’re extremely angry and upset. But going to Capital City now is meaningless and it’s just risking your life.”

But Ethan wouldn’t listen, he coldly stared at Sofia Carrillo and said: “I don’t like hitting women, but if you insist on stopping me, I will not hold back.”

“Then just kill me!” Sofia closed her eyes in determination.

Ethan gritted his teeth and roared, “You’re forcing me into this!”

“Looking for death? How are you going to save her if you’re dead?”

Just then, the Pavilion Master walked in from outside the door.

With an effortless yet commanding gesture, she immobilized Ethan.

Pavilion Master…” Ethan was looking a bit distressed.

He implored: “Pavilion Master, please help me. As long as we can bring Emily back, I am willing to be her slave ”

As he spoke, tears welled up in Ethan’s eyes.

“I can’t stand by and watch Emily marry someone else…” With that, Ethan burst into tears.

However, the Pavilion Master coldly said: “Pathetic, look at the state you’re in! Such a loser!”

“You can’t even take care of your own woman and you have the audacity to beg others for help, are you useless?”

“Didn’t you claim over and over again that you would make Emily Taylor stand at the peak of Capital City? Looking at your current state, I think you’d be better off dead. No one’s stopping you!”

Having said that, the Pavilion Master immediately lifted her restriction on Ethan.

Ethan Smith stood there, his eyes filled with tears.

“Go ahead, didn’t you say that you’re going to your death? Why are you still standing here!” said the Pavilion Master coldly.

Ethan Smith, in his grief, dropped to the ground, sobbing quietly, “I… I just can’t accept it…”

“Can’t accept it? If you can’t accept it, use your own strength to take her back.” The Pavilion Master said, in a cold tone.

“September 9th, that’s more than half a year away, right?”

Once the Pavilion Master reminded him of this, Ethan Smith immediately got it!

He lifted his head abruptly, murmuring quietly, “Yes, there’s still half a year. I have half a year!”

The Pavilion Master said coldly, “If you’re a man, go snatch the bride, take her back yourself.”

“If you are not, then get out of the Divine Alchemist Pavilion.”

After uttering these words, the Pavilion Master turned and walked out.

After the Pavilion Master’s scolding, Ethan Smith had calmed down quite a bit.

“Runaway wedding… nice idea.” Ethan whispered.

Even so, deep down, Ethan could not calm his heart for a long time.

Because he knew it very well, Emily Taylor must have been forced!

No one knew the current situation of Emily Taylor!

At that moment, Mike Taylor walked in from outside the door.

“Mr. Taylor.” On seeing Mike Taylor, both Sofia Carrillo and Edward Green quickly greeted him.

Mike Taylor waved his hand, indicating that they should leave.

Without saying anything more, Sofia Carrillo and Edward Green turned around and left the Elder’s residence.

The door was slowly closed.

Ethan rubbed his eyes and said quietly, “I’m sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Taylor.”

But Mike Taylor patted Ethan Smith’s shoulder, indicating him to sit down.

As the two sat face to-face, Mike Taylor poured a glass of water for Ethan Smith.

“Do you regret it?” asked Mike Taylor.

Ethan hurriedly shook his head saying, “I have no regrets.”

Mike Taylor laughed, “Ethan, when Emily was initially reluctant to go to River City, because no one thinks well of a native of River City, I forced her.”

“Then, in the entire Taylor family, I was the only one who had expectations of you.”

Ethan hung his head, remaining silent.

Mike Taylor continued, “However, later, the person in the Taylor family who came to believe in you the most, was Emily.”

“She has high expectations from you and thinks that you are not an ordinary man, but a man who can change everything.”

“Do you understand this baseless, inexplicable expectation?”

Ethan looked up at Mike Taylor.

There was an ineffable feeling in his heart.

He didn’t know whether he was feeling grateful for Emily’s trust in him or was feeling guilty towards her.

“Do you know why their wedding will be half a year from now?” Mike Taylor took a turn in the conversation at this point.

Ethan shook his head, saying, “I don’t know.”

Mike Taylor sighed slowly, “Because the person who calculated the date for them is an old acquaintance of mine. I had already anticipated today’s situation.”

“Half a year, though not long, is indeed your last chance.”

Ethan abruptly looked up at Mike Taylor.

“I believe you, Emily also believes you, what about you?” asked Mike Taylor.

At that moment, a force ignited in Ethan’s heart.

This force filled him with confidence and determination once again.

“Mr. Taylor, I will not let you down.” Ethan took a deep breath.

“I will not let Emily marry Dexter Blair.”

At this moment, Ethan’s eyes were filled with determination.
