Doris furrowed, wondering what Waylon meant by all this.
She sensed that his words meant more than he said.
"I am a beast in the human face. I bully the old man. Daniel shouldn't have these bad habits." Mr. Waylon sneered.
Now Doris understood.
He was still mad about last night!
Doris was a smart person. Waylon had already hinted at it, so she could not pretend to be clueless.
"Oh, Mr. Waylon, I almost forgot. I also owe you an apology."
"What?" Waylon's lips curled up, saying smugly, "I'd be happy to hear it."
Doris said, "Ms. Louise said that old man last night deserved to be beaten! Ms. Louise would have done it too! I don't know why, but there must be a reason if she said so!"
"I'm glad you trust Emma." Waylon sneered, implying that Doris did not trust him.
"I trust you too." Doris quickly said, "I just didn't understand at that time. Can't I apologize to you now?"
Doris could not see it, but Waylon's expression had already softened.
A victorious smile played at the corner of his lips.
But as he descended the steps, he muttered, "A good barbecue gone to waste."
"I'll treat you another time." Doris quickly climbed up, "I'll grill whatever you want. Can we leave this matter behind?"
Waylon remained silent, closed his eyes, and rested against the back of the chair.
Doris also stopped talking.
Anyway, she had said all the good things to flatter him. Whether he would forgive her or not, it was up to him!
Meanwhile, on the other side, Emmeline and Abel.
After dropping off Doris at Blue Sky Villa, they did not return to The Precipice.
Seeing Emmeline's sad face, Abel felt sorry for her.
He hugged her in the back seat and whispered, "Darling, how about we spend some alone time together?"
Emmeline raised her head before his shoulder, her black eyes blinking, "What do you mean?"
"We won't go back to The Precipice. I will take you out for a meal and then go shopping. We can buy whatever you want, and I will be there with you."
"Sounds like you're free!" Emmeline tilted her head and looked at him, "Isn't Ryker Group busy?"
"There hasn't been much going on these past few days, and everything is going smoothly."
Abel looked at her affectionately, "So I have enough time to be my wife."
