Eric, who used to be my husband and will soon become my brother-in-law, appeared quite upset. "Why is she even here? I didn't extend an invitation," he exclaimed. Emerson locked eyes with his son, then calmly addressed him. "I'm the one who invited her." Both Eric and Rita looked at Emerson with curious expressions on their faces. "Father, why did you invite her?" Eric inquired. "I invited her because she's my plus one," explained Emerson, his voice tinged with happiness. "Actually, she accepted my proposal. She's now my fiancée."
