“Mmf! Mmf!” Emmeline slapped him amidst her muffled gasps, mumbling, “No, don’t!”
“I know we shouldn’t. I just wanted a kiss,” Abel whispered softly in her ear. “You have a big race tomorrow, I can’t make your legs go weak.”
“You’re such a naughty boy!” Emmeline blushed and hit him.
After finishing her hot milk, she fell asleep peacefully in Abel’s embrace.
The next morning, Kendra had already prepared a nutritious breakfast.
Abel pulled out a chair for Emmeline.
Emmeline glanced at the clock, her beautiful lashes fluttering as she said, “The race is scheduled for ten o’clock. It’s only seven right now. We’ve got plenty of time.”
“Don’t you need to go to the race track early to prepare?” Abel handed her a piece of bread.
“That’s not too complicated,” Emmeline said, “We’ll be good as long as we reach by half past nine.”
“Isn’t that a little late?” Abel said as he served her a salad bowl.
“I want to make Sonia wait,” Emmeline smiled. “The longer she waits, the more anxious she’ll become.”
“I have to hand it to you,” Abel laughed. “I can’t believe you’re actually using military strategies.”
Ten minutes before nine o’clock, Abel sent the word out to head to Swan Lake.
All of Emmeline’s supporters were already prepared, and upon receiving the order, they each set off and gathered at Swan Lake.
At half past nine, Emmeline and her group arrived at Swan Lake.
Abel had reserved the racetrack beforehand and posted security guards around the area.
The drivers who usually raced here could only be spectators this time around.
The hired race referees and staff were busy organizing things in an orderly manner.
Sonia’s people arrived at eight o’clock. They were a group of about a dozen fashionable young men and women.
Among them was Ysabel, who was doing Sonia’s every bidding like a personal handmaiden.
Today’s race would determine the fate of the Hemmings Group.
If Sonia won, Emmeline had to call off the dogs of the Ryker Group and Adelmar Group, and spare the Hemmings Group.
Hence, Ysabel was extremely respectful and obedient to Sonia.
The race was scheduled to start at ten o’clock in the morning.
Sonia kept checking her phone repeatedly.
It was already eight-thirty, but Emmeline’s group hadn’t arrived.
Then it was nine o’clock, and they still hadn’t come.
