Emmeline and Adrien shared a brief exchange of words. A short while later, Adrien left in his sports car.
Emmeline turned around and walked toward the café entrance.
Abel hurriedly moved away from the window and sat on the sofa in front of the bed.
He did not understand why he was feeling uneasy.
From the exchange, it seemed Adrien and Emmeline had been arguing, but Abel felt frustrated about it.
He did not want to see the two of them together!
He lit up his cigarette and dragged it deeply.
Suddenly, the door to his room opened.
Abel was surprised. Is Emmeline coming in?
He heard Emmeline’s voice from outside the room. “I heard from the nanny that you drank a little too much tonight. Are you feeling better now?”
“Mm,” Abel answered.
Emmeline pushed the door open and noticed that the room was unlit. She saw a vague silhouette on the sofa and the glowing tip of the lit cigarette.
She pressed the light switch and immediately saw Abel’s alluring figure.
Abel was dressed in a set of pure white pajamas. His hair was slightly damp. Under his sculpted browline was a sensuous pair of eyes.
Emmeline was momentarily taken aback.
“I thought you returned to the mansion.”
“Why can’t I come here?” Abel smirked. “I pay rent. I have the right to stay here.”
“I didn’t mean that,” Emmeline said.
“How is Star?” Abel asked.
“He’s okay now.”
“Is that why Adrien sent you back?”
Emmeline was surprised. What does Abel mean? Was he spying on me earlier?
Abel sneered. “Don’t be so nervous. I happened to see it from the window.”
“There’s nothing between me and Adrien!” Emmeline was feeling frustrated.
“I can’t do anything about it. After all, you and Adrien are a family,” Abel said.
