“But Mr. Adrien,” Luca frowned, “I know you miss Ms. Louise, but don’t go jumping to conclusions about Emmett. He’s Emmett, not Emmeline.”
“You blockhead!” Adrien jumped up and gave him a smack on the head. “Emmett, Emmett, doesn’t it sound a lot like Emmeline?”
“Mr. Adrien, you can’t just assume that Emmett is Emmeline just because their names are similar,” Luca rubbed his head. “There are plenty of people with similar names!”
“Emma has admitted it to me!” Adrien said. “Why are you still arguing with me?”
Luca was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up. “Mr. Adrien, has Emmett admitted to being Ms. Louise? So she’s not dead?”
“That’s right!” Adrien said. “But she says that Abel was drugged with some kind of forgetfulness potion and doesn’t feel anything for her anymore. She’s afraid to reveal her true identity, in case Abel rejects her.”
“It’s not a forgetfulness potion,” Luca said. “It’s Worryfree, and I personally fed it to Mr. Abel.”
“You idiot!” Adrien jumped up again and slapped him. “You dare to use such a low trick?”
“I didn’t know it was that kind of drug at the time,” Luca rubbed his head, feeling wronged. “I just wanted to save Mr. Abel.”
“I’ve heard Emma’s explanation,” Adrien sighed. “It’s not your fault.”
“So what should we do now?” Adrien asked, eager for an answer. “You know everything.”
“What should we do?” Adrien waited eagerly for a response. “Of course, we should help them. We should help them get together. Do you want to keep your Ms. Louise all to yourself?”
“Absolutely not!” Luca replied firmly. “Regardless of whether Mr. Abel regains his feelings or not, Ms. Louise is our young mistress. No one can covet her.”
“That’s settled then!” Adrien said. “We need to figure out a way to bring them together and let true love prevail.”
“But how do we bring them together?” Luca frowned again. “Whenever we mention Emmeline to Mr. Abel, he shows no interest and doesn’t even want to talk about it. He won’t even want to see her.”
“That’s not necessarily true,” Adrien said. “We can try a different approach.”
