“Hmph.” Abel smiled coldly and answered, “Benjamin, are you talking nonsense? I’m a man with responsibility; of course I’ll seek justice for Emmeline. This is not related to my feelings for her.”
“If she’s still alive, how will you face her?” Benjamin stared at him.
He pondered for a while and asked, “Is she still alive?”
“What if she is?”
“I don’t have any feelings for her.” He answered calmly, “I didn’t love her back then, so I guess I won’t love her now either.”
Benjamin lowered his head and remained silent.
“Let’s drink,” Abel said. “Don’t talk about the nonsense.”
Benjamin waved his hand and signaled the bartender to come over. Before they knew it, they had finished a bottle of hard liquor. Abel ordered another bottle of XO. The two of them were not in a good mood, so they drank hastily. Both of them were drunk, and Benjamin started to cry.
“You’re useless!” Abel laughed at him and said, “You’re a man; why are you crying?”
Benjamin sobbed and answered, “You’re drugged by Waylon, and you forgot about your love for Emma! What about me? What about her? How could you know our feelings?”
Abel frowned and asked, “Benjamin, what did you just say? What did Waylon do to me?”
He wiped his tears off and said, “I’m drunk and simply talking nonsense.”
“But I heard you saying that Waylon did something to me.”
“He fed you the medicine for your stomach!” Benjamin said, “It seems like you totally forgot about it!”
“Indeed, my stomach has been okay recently.” He said, “The drug from your family is splendid.”
“Of course it is!” Benjamin said, “If not, how can you be so relaxed nowadays?” You’re happy without love!”
“What are you talking about?” Abel pushed him and said, “Since when I’m cruel? Look at me? I treat you so well. I know about love!”
“Yes, no one would expect the two of us to be best friends despite our families’ grudges.”
