“You’ve come all the way here. Why not stay for the party?” Oscar said with a smile. “You wouldn’t be so heartless to refuse an old man’s invitation, right?”
“Of course not. I’m glad to stay,” Emmeline replied. What a sly old fox. I’m willing to entertain him anyway.
With the incident resolved, the atmosphere became jovial once more. Julianna hurriedly hugged the three boys tightly.
“Oh, my dear grandchildren! I nearly lost you!”
“If Great-Grandpa says he doesn’t like Mommy, we’ll leave again.” The boys made their stand clear.
“He won’t.” Landen went down on one knee and spoke to the children. “I’ll protect your Mommy.”
“Thank you, Grandpa.” The three boys offered their thanks, which delighted Landen greatly.
Lewis watched all that from afar, feeling very bitter about it. Rosaline turned her head away angrily.
Emmeline turned her head and looked at Abel. “Mr. Ryker.”
Abel had risked offending Oscar and protected her. Even though she refused his offer, she was still very grateful.
“Thank you for earlier.”
Before Abel could say anything, Emmeline was dumbfounded.
He’s wearing the cheap suit I bought for him! That’s… ridiculous! How can he wear that on this occasion?
“You…” Emmeline tugged his sleeve. “You really wore this.”
“You bought it, so I have to wear it,” Abel said with a smile. “It fits me perfectly. I haven’t got the chance to thank you!”
Oh my! Emmeline covered her face. This man is so easy to please!
Oscar did not intimidate her, but she was shocked speechless by Abel.
Alana was furious when she saw Emmeline and Abel close to each other. She went over and said angrily, “Watch what you’re doing, Emmeline. You belong to Adrien!”
