Flynn was clapping while Evelyn followed behind him. “That was impressive, Mr. Benjamin,” Flynn said. “They just want the money. Might as well get it over with,” Benjamin replied. “I’m here to thank you for not making things difficult for the Murphy family,” Flynn said.
Benjamin responded with a smile. He did as Emmeline said. Since Evelyn apologized, he had no reason to cling to that matter. Flynn turned towards Abel and bowed. He said, “I didn’t expect to see you here, Mr. Abel.”
Abel nodded in response. “On behalf of the Murphy family, I’m grateful for your assistance and cooperation. It was also an opportunity for Evelyn to start over,” Flynn said. “It was nothing. I was just doing as my wife asked,” Abel replied.
“Emma, thank you,” Evelyn said. “You’re welcome,” Emmeline replied. “There’s still no news about Janie?” Evelyn asked. Emmeline nodded. “Did you all look for her?” Evelyn continued. “We’ve just returned from Falmouth. We’ve found traces of her but she’s hiding from us intentionally.” Emmeline said.
“Janie went to Falmouth?” Evelyn asked. “For now. She might leave at any moment,” Emmeline replied. “Let’s hope that she isn’t in trouble,” Evelyn said as she sighed. “All of us just want her to be safe and sound,” Emmeline said.
“You watch that kind of thing? It’s a waste of time,” Abel said. “I just watch it from time to time,” Emmeline replied. “Drink it. You might get a sore throat after eating barbeque,” Abel said as he caressed her head.
“Thanks, Hubby,” Emmeline said and drank the water. “That’s it? Don’t you have any other way to show your gratitude?” Abel asked as he held her in his arms. “I knew you were up to no good,” Emmeline said as she pushed him away gently.
Abel smirked and said, “I just wanted a kiss. Since you said I’m up to no good, how about…”
