Abel replied, “Who knows? If I were Benjamin, I wouldn’t marry her.”
Emmeline widened her misty eyes and asked, “Why not? That would make Janie so sad.”
Abel said. “Why don’t you think about Benjamin? He’s the sad one. You know he doesn’t love Janie, right?”
Emmeline was speechless.
“So, in the future, don’t get involved in Benjamin’s personal life. Benjamin agreed to marry Janie mostly to put his mind at ease. Otherwise, he could have handled it in another way.”
Emmeline stared at him with blurry eyes. “Another way? What do you mean? Pay her off?”
Abel said. “That’s just one way. Janie knows that Benjamin doesn’t love her. Even if he agrees to marry her, what’s the point?”
“She could live a good life and marry a man she loves. Why is she obsessed with Benjamin.
“Benjamin is outstanding. But without love, isn’t it all zero?”
These words left Emmeline speechless..
She only thought that Benjamin was a good man and that Janie was a good match for him.
She overlooked the most critical factor, that marriage requires love.
Abel and Emmeline returned to The Precipice.
Kendra welcomed them as they parked the car.
Abel carried Emmeline out of the car.
Kendra said, “Mr. Abel, Ms. Emmeline, Mr. Louise and his wife are here.
Mr. Louise and his wife?
Abel was stunned. Did that mean Maxwell and Alondra were here?
Before he could speak, Emmeline asked, “What are they here for?”
Kendra replied. “They said they came to see Ms. Emmeline. I dared not stop them, so I let them in.”
Abel said, “I got it. You go first, and I’ll help Emma inside.”
Kendra went straight to the lobby.
-Abel wanted to carry Emmeline in. But when he heard that Maxwell had arrived, he had to support her
and walk in.
Upon entering the lobby, Alondra warmly greeted them.
