The question shocked everyone and now the reply to the answer did more than that. Emma did not know when she said that, there was so much pressure on her and she just said anything.
Tommy was surprised, he was baffled. He did not understand what was happening anymore, he did not say anything before because he was sure that Emma would not agree to it. Everything was falling apart for him, the day he finally decided to tell Emma how he really feels about her was the day this was happening.
Julian was no different from Tommy in this situation, he was somewhat sure that she would not agree considering the kind of person she is. But he knew that his parents have a way of persuading people.
Michael was surprised with Emma's reply but he understood why she made the decision, it was obvious. But what he did not understand was why Gabriel and Rachel would ask her to do that, saving them was not enough for them to do something like that.
"That is great to hear, you have so much ahead of you." Rachel smiled while still holding Emma's hand.
"Alright mother, you and father still need to go to the hospital for a full checkup." Julian said. "Hopefully we can talk about this more when you are fully okay." He said.
"Yes, we will be going to the hospital now." Rachel said leaving Emma's hand.
"Like we said, we will prepare everything for the engagement so you don't need to worry about anything." Gabriel said.
Julian and his parents started to walk away from Emma slowly. When they reached a certain distance, Rachel stopped and turned back, "Why don't you come to our home tomorrow or the day after so that we can talk more about this with you." She said to Emma.
Without waiting for Emma to reply, Rachel and Gabriel entered one of their car while Julian entered his own car, then they drove off.
"Can we start going now?" Emma ask in a low voice.
Tommy got himself, "Oh yeah we can.' He replied.
"Well you two drive safely, today was definitely eventful." Michael said.
Tommy walked to where he parked his car and Emma followed him behind. Everything was still overwhelming for Emma, she did not know what to say or what to think.
They got to the car, Tommy open the car door for Emma and she entered slowly. Tommy tried to think about things from Emma's perspective, he cannot imagine how she must be feeling at the moment.
Tommy entered the car and started to drive. The drive was a silent one, Emma just sat back thinking about everything and Tommy just focused on his driving.
This moment was when he was supposed to tell her about he feelings for her but he knew that there was no way he could do that now and that made him somewhat angry.
He was angry at Gabriel and Rachel, he did not get why they had to ask Emma to marry their son, now everything went south for him. Now he did not know what to say, he was not even sure if he should say anything now.
The drive went on and now they were close to Emma's home. Tommy finally decided to say something.
"Are you really going to marry him?"
Emma did not say anything, she did not hear him because she was in her mind.
"Emma?" He called out to her.
She got herself, "Oh sorry, what did you say?" She asked.
"Are you really going marry Julian?" He asked again.
"Honestly I don't know, I don't want to, marriage is among the last thing I want now. But for some reason I couldn't say no to her." Emma replied.
Tommy did not say or ask anything else, he knew how Emma was feeling and he did not want to bother her. They finally reached Emma's apartment building.
Emma opened the door and walked out of the car.
"Thanks a lot for the ride today." She bent down and said to him.
"Yeah it's not a problem." Tommy replied. "Make sure to get enough rest, you really need it." Tommy said.
"I will."
Emma turned and started to walk away. When she finally entered her apartment building, Tommy exhale and dropped his head on his steering wheel.
"Well today is definitely a mess, now I wish I didn't come for that party." He said to himself. "What I am going to do now? And what is wrong with all these rich people, they always think they can get anything they want."
Tommy was angry, disappointed and sad at the same time and he could not do anything about the current situation. After a while he drove off.
Emma reached her apartment door, then got her keys out and opened her apartment door. She got in and closed the door behind, then she leaned on the door and held her hand that was wrapped with bandaged.
She remembered that she still had no phone but the events that happened today was too much for her so she did not care about having a phone for now, she decided to go to her room and get some sleep, hoping that when she wakes up she will feel better.
She dragged herself to her room, then removed the dress she was wearing and wore something more comfortable. This was not normal for her, she normally gets home really late whenever she goes to work. But now she is back home and it was not even evening.
She laid on her bed and tried as much as she could not think about what happened at the party but it was in vein. Eventually she slept off without knowing.
After a while Emma woke up because of a knock that was coming from the front door.
"So now I have been disturbed two times today from a knock on my door, well I no longer recognize my life." Emma said to herself.
She slowly came off her bed, left her room and walked to the front door. "I wonder who it is this time." She said to herself.
She got to the front door, "Who is it?" She asked.
"It's me girl." The person on the other side of the door said.
Emma recognized the voice immediately, she knew it was Sophie so she opened the door.
"What I am hearing is it true? You are engaged to Julian stone." Sophie smiled. Emma became confuse, she wondered how Sophie would know about that so soon. "I mean wow, I never imagined that, tell be how it happened." Sophie walked into the apartment leaving Emma at the door.
