Abel glanced at the time in his backyard home. It was half past noon.
At this moment, Emma should be at the banquet.
Abel chuckled to himself. He poured himself half a glass of white wine and downed it in one. gulp.
A spicy sensation traveled down his throat and warmed his chest, bringing him great pleasure.
Abel wouldn’t have another glass; he wouldn’t allow himself to get drunk.
The banquet ended at two o’clock in the afternoon, and Emmeline returned to her parents” house.
She took off the gold ring and thought about throwing it from the third floor.
After some consideration, she realized it wouldn’t be right because the ring was bought by Abel. She couldn’t throw it away.
But where should I wear it? None of her ten fingers were suitable. She decided to place it in the jewelry box.
She didn’t want those three dresses, not a single one. She picked up the clothes and stuffed them into the trash can.
The trash can couldn’t hold everything. What should I do?
Right, throw them downstairs.
And that suitcase, it was so eye–catching and looked disturbingly conspicuous.
It wasn’t hers either, and she didn’t want it. She decided to drag it downstairs as well.
What else? What else? What else?
Emmeline paced back and forth in the hallway.
She wanted to throw everything away.
“Emma. Hannah suddenly noticed her sister’s unus
behavior and was startled. She hugged
Emmeline and took her to the bedroom, and whispered, ‘Emma, what’s wrong with you?”
“Hannah.” Emmeline hugged her head and squatted on the floor. “I want to die.”
She sobbed loudly, tears streaming down, frightening Hannah, who held her tightly.
Maxwell’s phone suddenly rang. It was Abel calling.
He usually called the landline at home, but today, he called Maxwell’s phone.
Maxwell hurriedly ran to the terrace and whispered, “Abel.”
“Maxwell, Abel asked. “Is Emma okay?”
“Don’t worry about her,” Maxwell said coldly. “I’ll take care of her.”
“I need to know if Emma is safe, Abel said weakly.
“For now,” Maxwell said. “Hannah is with her.”
