Kendra had already served the meal in the dining room. But Abel said, “Send my meal upstairs.”
Kendra was stunned. “Mr. Abel…”
“I can’t eat when I look at her.” Abel glanced at Emmeline.
“Abel!” Emmeline’s face turned pale. “You don’t have to hide from me! I’ll leave!”
She took her pasta and went upstairs with reddish eyes.
Kendra said, “Mr. Abel, Ms. Emmeline made dinner.”
Abel answered, “The food is good, but she keeps fighting with me. I’ll be angry if I eat with her.”
Kendra was speechless.
After sloppily eating dinner, Emmeline felt depressed, so she left the villa alone and went to the mountainside to relax.
Abel was worried. He asked Kendra to go out to accompany Emmeline. But Quincy woke up and was unwilling to leave Kendra. Kendra could not go up the mountain with Quincy.
Abel had no choice but to leave the villa and find Emmeline.
Emmeline was sitting on a rock with her knees folded.
Seeing Abel walking up the mountain road, she hit him with a stone.
“Bad guy! I don’t want to see you!”
When on Adelmar Island, Emmeline practiced hidden weapons hard. So she could throw the stones accurately and hit where she wanted.
Abel got hit in his chest first, then another in his ankle.
She believed a man as graceful and elegant as Abel would never climb a tree to catch her. That was too unsightly and tarnished his image. So she was safe on the tree.
“Man! Come up and catch me! Can you come up? I didn’t underestimate you. Really! But you won’t climb this dirty tree! You can’t catch me! You deserve to be angry!”
Abel stood under the tree and listened to Emmeline.
Sure enough, he did not want to climb the tree like a monkey.
That would indeed detract from his dignified and elegant image. But it did not mean he could not climb a five-meter tall tree.
Emmeline was still swinging her legs proudly on the branch while Abel suddenly took a few steps back.
He jumped up and grabbed the tree trunk.
“Ah!” Emmeline trembled on the branch in fright.
Immediately afterward, Abel climbed up and sat on the branch. Then, he hugged Emmeline and said, “Trying to run? You won’t escape!”
