“Adrien, you’re here too,” Abel said as he stepped out of the car. “Grandad wanted to have a meal with us. He’s fond of Liz,” Adrien said. “Congratulations,” Abel replied. “Mr. Abel, it’s been a while,” Lizbeth said.
Abel nodded in response. Adrien and Lizbeth did not mention Emmeline to avoid upsetting Abel. However, Lizbeth’s smile reminded Abel of Emmeline. He frowned as he felt a sharp pain. It lasted for a brief second and he returned to his usual silent demeanor.
They walked through the corridor as they headed towards the hall. Along the way, Lizbeth held onto Adrien’s arm while he held her by the waist. Luca found the scene to be unbearable as he was following behind them.
As they entered the hall, Oscar was sitting on the sofa. Abel was stunned as he noticed that Evelyn was standing beside Oscar. He frowned as he felt uncomfortable. It appeared that Evelyn left the Precipice and made her way here.
“Mr. Abel, you’re here,” Evelyn said with a smile. Abel nodded and greeted Oscar. “Have a seat. She’s Paul’s daughter. Have you two met?” Oscar asked. Abel nodded. “We’ve known each other for quite a while now. I would like to make an apology today,” Evelyn said.
“Abel, you never told us anything about it. What’s her condition right now?” Adrien asked. “That’s right. What happened to her?” Lizbeth added. “It doesn’t matter. Let the past stay in the past. It’s time for lunch,” Abel said.
Everyone was flabbergasted. Oscar wanted an answer but Abel had made his way to the dining hall. He wanted to get it over with and leave. All he could think about was work. Evelyn found his cold demeanor attractive.
“It’s getting late. Go ahead and have lunch everyone,” Oscar said as he waved. Adrien held Lizbeth’s hand as he led her to the dining hall. Evelyn caught up to Abel and said, “I’ve prepared the dishes today. I can make some more if you’d like.”
