“Did you forget that today is Adam’s birthday?”
For the first time ever, Abel was able to tell a convincing lie, “I need to buy him a gift ahead of time, then pay the company a visit. By the time I get home, it’ll be just in time to leave for Adam’s party.”
Emmeline nodded, “Is that so? Alright then. Do what you have to do. I’ll take a quick nap.”
“Okay, good girl,” Abel heaved a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, Emmeline reached out to him and said, “Babe, can we kiss and cuddle for a while longer? Otherwise, I don’t think I can sleep.”
Abel widened his eyes in shock as he thought, What is up with you today, woman?
But when he looked at Emmeline’s expectant face and her blank eyes, he still sat by the bed and gave her hug and a kiss.
Emmeline then wrapped her arms around his neck, longing for a deeper kiss.
Abel found it difficult to resist as his heart started pounding heavily.
However, just as his body was reacting to the temptation, he was suddenly beset by a sharp pain.
Abel pushed Emmeline aside and said, “We can’t. I’m going to be late!”
He quickly ran into the shower and poured cold water on himself.
Emmeline was speechless.
What’s wrong with him? It feels like he’s rejecting me?
However, she was still very sleepy, so she didn’t think much of it.
After she took a couple yawns, she fell back asleep.
In the afternoon.
Adam’s 32nd birthday party was held at Avalan Mansion.
There were no elders on the guestlist. It was filled only with the wealthy peers of the Ryker brothers.
Adam had also invited a few celebrities to liven up the atmosphere.
He was dressed in a silver-colored suit and a silk shirt, the very image of opulence.
His short mustache was also groomed very neatly.
He was surrounded by several celebrities, all vying for his attention.
“Mr. Adam, it’s been so long since you took me out for a meal. Did you forget about me already?”
“Mr. Adam, you were the one who personally groomed me. You can’t just leave me hanging.”
“Mr. Adam, would you care for a drink?”
Adam nimbly dodged the requests of several beautiful women.
Some wealthy young men also came over with drinks in their hands eager to cozy up to Adam.
