Seeing that Waylon and Abel moved to the third floor, Emmeline felt that she could not just stay here and do nothing.
She decided to join them.
The two men put on their aprons and began to get busy in the kitchen.
Emmeline approached them and said, “Let me peel the vegetables for you.”
“Go wait by the side!” Waylon shrugged her away, “You’re noisy.”
Emmeline froze, “Am I really noisy?”
“He just doesn’t want to see you getting tired,” Abel explained, “I think you should just wait.”
Emmeline pouted but he had no choice. He retired to one side and began to scroll her phone.
Abel watched her being engrossed in her phone screen, and he could not help but smile.
He did not mind that his wife was an energetic one.
In fact, he would welcome the fact that she liked to be a busybody.
The sight of her getting excited around him was the happiest sight he could ever wish for.
However, he did not want her to get basked in the oily scent of the kitchen.
He believed that he should dote on her more since she was his wife now.
He would cook for her and her responsibility was just to eat to her heart’s content.
That was the most romantic thing he could do for her.
After lunch, Waylon went to Imperial Palace.
Kenny and Bowie were busy planning for the transformation of the Imperial Palace into a hospital.
Waylon could not just be a bystander. He needed to follow the progress of their work as well.
At the same time, Abel brought Emmeline to Bvlgari.
The birthday present he had booked for her finally arrived from overseas.
The management of Bvlgari contacted him today to receive the goods.
The moment they stepped into the hall, they bumped into a couple.
They could not believe their eyes. They were Edmond from the Murphy family from Altney and Erin Anderson who had undergone plastic surgery.
When they saw Abel and Emmeline, they were clearly surprised.
Abel had never seen Erin before, so his gaze settled on Edmond.
Emmeline was stunned to see Erin hooking up with Edmond.
He did not have a good impression of these two.
Back in the Imperial Palace auction, Edmond was Adam’s connection.
She believed that Edmond would not be a decent person since he was Adam’s accomplice.
At the same time, Erin was always a tricky person in her eyes. She always felt uncomfortable being around her.
Abel did not like Edmon too. He was frowning at him.
“Mr. Abel, Ms. Louise.”
Edmond took the initiative and greeted both of them.
He wanted to shake Abel’s hands, but Abel was frozen on the spot. He did not have any intention to shake Edmon’s hand.
Edmond’s arm hung in mid-air, and he awkwardly retrieved them and rubbed them.
“Ms. Louise,” Erin took Edmond’s arm. She flashed a bright smile at Emmeline, “It’s surprising to see you here.”
“Yeah,” Emmeline sounded indifferent, “It’s quite a coincidence.”
“You guys know each other?” Edmond ventured, “Erin is my girlfriend, and she’s recently signed to Murphy Cinematics.”
“You know how to act too?” Emmeline was surprised as she thought that Erin was nothing more than someone who was famous on the internet.
“Didn’t you work as a stand-in before?” Erin produced an innocent smile as she said that.
“I was simply killing some time back then,” Emmeline smiled back at her.
“I am not as fortunate as you,” Erin shot a look at Abel, “You’re Mrs. Ryker while I am just a tiny actress. If Edmond did not see my worth, I wouldn’t be able to play a complementary role.”
“Murphy Cinematics is a great company,” Emmeline said, “As long as you work hard, you can be a future star.”
“Thank you for your kind words,” Erin smiled, “I really hope so.”
As they continued the banter, two women walked toward them.
One of them was a middle-aged woman while the other was a younger one. They wore expensive clothes and they had a wealthy feel to them.
The young lady dropped her handbag next to Abel, and before she could bend down to pick it up, Abel had already picked it up for her.
The young lady retrieved her bag in gratitude, but she suddenly gasped, “Abel?”
Abel was caught by surprise. He narrowed his eyes and took a careful look at her face.
Something was stirring in the back of his mind.
However, his face was still devoid of any emotion. He did not respond to her either.
“Abel, you don’t recognize me anymore?” The young lady was very enigmatic, “I am Sonia, and we used to be a thing back in our university days. You haven’t forgotten about us, have you?”
