Chapter 42 Make Me Love You

• Emerald was always the picture of a calm and modest traditional woman. But everything changed the moment she met Alaric. Her restraint vanished when he defended her in front of everyone.
• Since childhood, her father had doubted her suitability for marriage, while her mother insisted that her only path was to marry a wealthy man. Ethan had a simple belief: beautiful women should rely on men.
• None of them paid attention to her true feelings. Whether she was hurt or struggling, they didn’t care. All that mattered was how long she could maintain her beauty.
