“You don’t intend to marry me again, right?” Emmeline remembered Evelyn’s words just now.
Abel was stunned for a moment. He had indeed forgotten about this plan.
Seeing Abel hesitate, Emmeline tried her best not to cry. “I knew it.”
“So what?” Abel said, “Do you want a marriage without love?”
Emmeline recalled what Benjamin had said to Janie.
“I can give you marriage. But no love.”
Janie decisively rejected Benjamin. A marriage without love was worse than no marriage.
“I understand.” Emmeline smiled slightly. “Abel, you don’t have to be embarrassed. I’m not sad. I’m fine. I’ll bless you.”
Abel frowned. He did not love Emmeline. But he felt irritable and uncomfortable when she said that.
It was very unpleasant for him to hear those words. Before he could say anything, Emmeline had already walked past him and left.
Suddenly, Emmeline’s phone rang. It was Janie calling.
Emmeline hastily picked up the call.
“Emma, where are you?”
“At Levan Mansion. What about you?”
“I’m at Adelmar Group,” Janie answered, “Forever Love said that the wedding dress you ordered is ready. They asked when you would go to try it on.”
“Is it necessary?” Emmeline sniffled. “You know the situation between me and Abel.”
“You two won’t delay getting married, right?” Janie said, “You can cultivate the relationship with Mr. Abel.”
“I remember Ben also said that to you,” Emmeline murmured, “But Janie, did you accept him?”
Janie stopped talking. Benjamin did say that. If she wanted marriage, he could give it to her. As for feelings, they could cultivate slowly. But what if they failed?
So Janie rejected Benjamin’s offer of marriage. A marriage without feelings was like a tomb.
“Then…” Janie said sadly, “What about the wedding dress? It’s ready.”
