<Don’t Say You Love MeÂ
Chapter 250 You’re the Only One for MeÂ
As Emily stayed silent for ages, Alexander started to get antsy. “Sweetheart, did that fortune–teller say something crappy to tick you off?”Â
He’d actually asked the old man to tell Emily that he was her perfect match.Â
But since he wasn’t around when the reading happened, he was in the dark about what was said.Â
There was this nagging fear that the old guy had blurted out something that’d put Emily in a foul mood.Â
Emily’s face was as cold as ice, and her silence only ramped up Alexander’s worry.Â
He started pacing around, muttering under his breath, “I’m gonna march over there and give that old fake a piece of my mind. How dare he make my girl upset!”Â
His fiery determination spooked Emily. She quickly reached out and grabbed his hand. “Alexander, knock it off. I’m fine.”Â
“Then tell me. What did he say to you?” Alexander wasn’t going to let it drop easily.Â

Emily had no intention of sharing the real deal with Alexander. So, she cooked up a story on the spot. “The old man said I’m gonna have a short life and I’m a bad omen for my husband. He told me to stay single after divorce, or I’ll mess up my life and others‘.”Â
As soon as the words left her lips, Alexander yanked her into his arms. He gently tapped her mouth and urged, “Spit it out, quick! Don’t say such lousy stuff.”Â
Emily didn’t really give a hoot about those words, but she was taken aback by how much Alexander cared. She stood there, stunned, not knowing what to say.Â
Seeing her just standing there like a statue, Alexander got even more worked up. “Emily, come on! Spit it out. You’re gonna drive me nuts!”Â
Emily looked up at him. “Even if I do, it doesn’t change the facts.”Â
Alexander had no clue what the fortune–teller had said, but he bought Emily’s story hook, line, and sinker.Â
Seeing her so nonchalant, he pulled her closer, resting his chin on her shoulder. “Emily, even if you’re bad luck for a husband, I still wanna marry you. If you’re gonna have a short life, I’ll share mine with you. I just wanna marry you and make you myÂ

wife. You’re the only one for me, no one else.”Â
Emily was squeezed so tight she could barely breathe.Â

But as she listened to his words, she couldn’t help but think about what the old man had said.Â
Could it be true that Alexander was the one for her?Â
Alexander really seemed like a great guy.Â
Sure, there were always rumors about his love life in the tabloids, but apart from Megan, Emily had never seen any other woman by his side.Â
She didn’t resist. She just let Alexander hold her close.Â
His body quivered slightly, like he was terrified of losing her.Â
Emily was about to tell him it was all a joke, but just then, her phone rang.Â
Hearing the ringtone, Alexander let her go. “Answer your call.”Â
Emily looked up and saw his red–rimmed eyes. She wasn’t sure if he’d been crying, but it tugged at her heartstrings.Â
The phone kept buzzing. She picked it up and saw it was Rebecca calling.Â

After a brief moment of hesitation, Emily answered.Â

Rebecca’s panicked voice crackled through the phone. “Mrs. Wilson! I’ve been trying to reach Mr. Wilson, but his line’s been dead. Finally got you on the horn.”Â
At her words, Emily’s brow furrowed. “What’s going on?”Â
Rebecca blurted out, “Sophie’s burning up! I went up to her room just now. She’s all soaked in sweat. Took her temp, and it’s 104°F!”Â
In an instant, Emily’s calm demeanor shattered. But she took a deep breath and instructed, “Rebecca, give her some fever–medicine right away. I’m coming home.”Â
“Sure thing,” Rebecca replied, her voice a bit steadier.Â
“Keep me in the loop. I’m off to find Sophie’s dad.”Â
With a quick “Okay,” Rebecca ended the call.Â
The conversation didn’t go unnoticed by Alexander. His previously light–hearted mood took a nosedive.Â
Seeing Emily in such a tizzy, he asked, concern lacing his words, “Heading back?”Â

“I gotta find Ethan,” Emily stated, determination in her voice.Â
She spun on her heel and made a beeline for the wish–balloon stand.Â
But after a few steps, she halted, looked back at Alexander, and said, “You go on home. I’ll make it up to you another day.”Â
For a moment, Alexander’s spirits lifted.Â
But then the memory of unfulfilled promises clouded his mood again.Â
However, Emily was in no state to worry about Alexander’s feelings. She made her promise and took off.Â
Alexander, despite his mixed feelings, trailed behind.Â
From a distance, Emily spotted Ethan and Nancy rummaging through the trinkets.Â
Without a second thought, she marched over, grabbed Ethan’s hand, and said, “Sophie’s got a high fever. We need to get her to the hospital, stat!”Â
A fever of 104°F was no joke. One wrong move, and the kid could end up with serious issues.Â
Sophia might be a handful, but Emily wasn’t about to take any 5/6Â

She couldn’t live with herself if something went wrong.Â
Ethan was caught off guard. He stared at Emily for a second, then pulled out his phone and called Rebecca.Â
After getting the confirmation from Rebecca, Ethan’s face paled, and panic set in.Â
