“Lizbeth may be small, but she’s mighty,” Adrien chuckled. “Just like your former heartthrob Emmeline,
who was also a skilled fighter, wasn’t she?”
As he spoke, Adrien glanced at Emmeline out of the corner of his eye.
Emmeline’s gaze landed on Abel’s face, trying to gauge his reaction.
But Abel remained impassive and simply said, “Please, Adrien, have a seat.”
Adrien sat down on the sofa in front of the main desk.
He couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy.
I said Emmeline was his heartthrob, but this guy doesn’t seem fazed at all.
Could it be that what Emmeline said was true?
Adrien’s gaze flickered back towards Emmeline.
She shrugged helplessly in response.
“Emmett, come here,” Abel called out.
Abel was getting annoyed at Adrien’s repeated glances toward “Emmett.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Come over here to me,” he said, his voice dripping with jealousy.
Emmeline obediently got up and walked over to him.
Abel’s large hand reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.
“Tell me, are you still happy here?” he whispered in her ear, his tone possessive.
“Yes, of course, I am,” Emmeline replied.
“Why are you happy?” Abel asked himself, then answered, “Is it because I’m here with you?”
Emmeline knew he was feeling jealous. He was jealous of Adrien.
But Adrien already knew the truth, and he promised to help her.
“Yes, of course,” Emmeline replied with a smile, “I love being by Mr. Ryker’s side the most.”
“Hmm, that’s good,” Abel said, pleased, as he looked at her beautiful face and stroked her short hair.
Adrien pursed his lips and turned his head away.
If he didn’t know that the small figure in Abel’s arms was Emmeline, he wouldn’t be able to stand Abel’s
behavior.
Although Adrien was a playboy, his sexual orientation was not an issue.
In other words, Adrien only liked beautiful women.
But now that he knew Emmett was actually Emmeline, Adrien could understand Abel’s behavior.
On the surface, it seemed like Abel had lost his feelings for Emmeline, but in reality, his soul still held a
deep connection to her. Abel’s strange behavior towards “Emmett” was the best explanation for it.
So, what would happen when Adrien finally faced Emmeline?
That was something Adrien was preparing for in his next move.
“Adrien,” Abel, still holding onto Emmeline, turned to him and asked, “Is there a reason for your sudden
visit?”
Adrien’s original reason for coming to the Ryker Group was to catch “Emmett” and ask some questions.
Adrien hadn’t expected to get this answer.
Now that Abel had asked him, he couldn’t tell the truth.
“I had a little disagreement with Liz and thought I could use a drink to clear my head,” Adrien said,
trying to deflect.
“Is that all?” Abel chuckled. “Don’t take love so seriously. A man’s priority should be his career.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Abel,” Adrien laughed, “don’t forget that you were willing to give up the entire Ryker Group for that little
Emma girl. Now you’re talking about prioritizing business?”
Abel furrowed his brow, remaining silent.
After a few seconds of hesitation, he spoke with confusion, “I really can’t understand how I could have
done something like that. Did I really love her that much?”
Adrien kept his gaze fixed on Abel as he asked, “Do you think you love her?”
“I might have loved her at some point,” Abel replied. “But eventually, I got tired and just moved on. I
don’t love her anymore.”
“What?” Emmeline jumped out of Abel’s embrace.
“Emmett, what’s wrong?” Abel was startled.
“When you say it like that, it’s so cruel!” Emmeline exclaimed. “If you don’t love her anymore, why can’t
you just forget about her and move on? That would be so much easier to accept!”
“I haven’t forgotten about her,” Abel said. “I remember every little thing we shared. But I just don’t feel
anything anymore. Isn’t it clear that I don’t love her anymore? You can’t force yourself to love someone,
can you?”
Waylon! Waylon! Waylon!
Emmeline gritted her teeth, thinking, You’re really something, you know that? You’re really something!
