Evelyn’s foot had completely healed and no longer hurt. But she had to pretend to limp for two more days, or Abel would kick her out without hesitation.
The Rolls-Royce was parked in its designated spot, and Abel stepped out from the back seat.
“Mr. Abel, you’re back,” Evelyn said sweetly, her face adorned with a gentle smile.
But Abel ignored her and leaned into the car, embracing someone.
Evelyn’s heart tightened in her chest.
Whom did Abel bring back with him?
As Abel turned with Emmeline in his arms, Evelyn was left dumbfounded.
Why was he carrying a man?
The man looked like he was passed out drunk and was tightly snuggled against Abel’s broad chest, making Evelyn feel very uncomfortable.
“Mr. Abel, who is this man you’re carrying?” she asked.
“He’s just a little brother,” Abel replied. “He had too much to drink.”
Emmeline stirred in Abel’s arms, turning her head slightly.
Evelyn caught a glimpse of the man’s half-face. What a stunningly beautiful face it was, with a hint of wickedness that was enough to bewitch anyone.
Evelyn’s mind went blank.
Was Mr. Abel…
Attracted to men?
Abel carried Emmeline into the lobby and placed her on the sofa.
“Can you watch him for me?” Abel instructed Qin Yao. “Don’t let him fall off the sofa, I’ll get him a glass of water.”
“Sure thing,” Evelyn replied.
Reluctantly, Evelyn crouched down in front of the sofa and watched over Emmeline, making sure he didn’t fall off.
Emmeline opened his eyes slightly and glanced at his surroundings.
Then, he slurred his words: “My shoes, take off my shoes, so tired!”
Evelyn was taken aback. Did he want her to take off his shoes?
Evelyn, who had never done such a thing before, was at a loss for what to do. After all, she was the Miss Murphy of the Murphy family!
As she stood there in a daze, Emmeline started kicking her feet alternately.
“Pop! Pop!” Her shoes flew off and hit Evelyn in the face.
“Ah!” Evelyn, who was originally crouching down, fell to the ground with a cry. “How dare you throw shoes at me?”
Emmeline rolled over and continued to sleep.
Abel came over with a glass of water and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Evelyn, still nursing her red face from being hit by Emmeline’s shoe, stood up and said, “Mr. Abel, this man kicked off his shoes and hit me!”
“How could that be?” Abel frowned, “Emmett had too much to drink and he’s passed out.”
Tears welled up in Evelyn’s eyes, “He wanted me to take off his shoes, but I didn’t, and he kicked them off and hit me in the face.”
“Are you really going to argue with a drunk person?” Abel grew impatient, “Just go upstairs.”
