Abel immediately replied: "I've been waiting downstairs this whole time, silly."
Emmeline felt a warmth in her heart as she replied: "Okay, I'll be right down."
Abel typed: "Just wait by the entrance. I'll come up to get you."
Emmeline: "Okay, love you."
Emmeline saw the way Janie loved Benjamin so painfully and selflessly, yet received so little in return.
This made her feel that Abel was truly her knight in shining armor.
After putting on her coat and picking up her bag, Emmeline opened the door to the master bedroom to take one last look at Janie.
She was sleeping deeply, looking quiet and alone.
Once Emmeline closed the bedroom door and left, she would be the only one left in the spacious apartment.
Emmeline started to sniffle and her eyes became red.
Oh Ben, why can't you just love Janie properly?
She feels so lonely and helpless. It breaks my heart to see her like this...
After locking the door from the inside, Emmeline left the apartment.
With a "click," the door automatically locked behind her.
The elevator door in front of her opened, and Abel happened to step out.
"Babe!" Emmeline rushed into his arms as if she had reunited with a long-lost relative.
Abel was startled. In the time it took her to have a meal, it seemed like they had experienced a life-and-death separation.
As he hugged her back, he finally realized what was going on.
His beloved wife had been drinking!
He was positive that she was intoxicated from the alcohol!
However, the way she jumped into his embrace so wholeheartedly after drinking alcohol made his heart weak and knees go limp.
Feeling the boundless wave of love from Emmeline, Abel’s heart was overwhelmed with emotion.
"Babe, I’m so lucky to have you," Emmeline hugged him by the neck, her eyes glistening. "I’m so glad you love me."
"What happened?" Abel held her tightly. "Why do you look like you just had a harrowing experience?"
Emmeline didn't speak. She sniffled a little, then cupped Abel's face, tiptoed, and sealed his lips with hers.
"Mmm," Abel wanted to tell her that someone might come and see them.
But Emmeline paid no attention and passionately entangled her tongue with his.
Abel had no choice but to hold her tightly, responding affectionately.
The neighboring apartment door opened, and a young woman came out carrying a garbage bag.
Seeing the scene before her, the woman sighed softly and retreated back inside.
While passionately kissing Emmeline, Abel pressed the elevator button behind him.
The two entwined as they entered the elevator.
Abel wanted to mention that there might be surveillance cameras in the elevator, and the security guard might be watching them right now.
But Emmeline completely disregarded all of that. She only wanted to cling to him, hugging him by the neck and kissing him passionately.
Abel ultimately decided to ignore it as well and responded to her in kind.
Screw it, just let the security guard in the monitoring room have a good look!
Their passionate kiss continued all the way down a dozen floors until the first. At the end, Emmeline was still immersed in the kiss.
Abel held the back of her head with his hand as he fervently kissed her back.
The elevator doors opened, and several people outside wanted to get in.
But upon seeing the situation inside, they froze in place, their feet stopping in mid-motion. Before they could enter, Abel pressed the button for the elevator to go up.
The onlookers watched helplessly as the elevator doors slowly closed, and the passionate couple disappeared from sight.
Only then did they come back to their senses, feeling unsatisfied.
Abel pressed the button to go two floors up. Soon, the elevator doors opened again.
This time, no one was outside. He picked up Emmeline and stepped out.
Emmeline clung to his neck and whimpered in his arms, "I want..."
Abel was a little out of breath as he said, "Let’s go home..."
"Can't we...?" Emmeline refused to give in.
"Be a good girl and wait until we get home..." Abel couldn't resist anymore either.
The woman in his arms was like a soft bundle of fire, making him feel hot and restless.
Carrying the intoxicated Emmeline, the two of them finally got to the Rolls-Royce. Luca quickly opened the car door.
Abel placed Emmeline in the back seat and bent down to sit beside her.
The car door was then closed and the divider in the middle was raised.
Luca drove the car out of the neighborhood.
Emmeline turned around in her seat, lifting her leg and resting it on Abel's thigh. She then leaned forward and pressed her burning lips against his.
Abel's heart trembled, unable to control the desire that surged within him. His breath became heavy as he whispered, "Stop playing around. Be a good girl and wait until we get home..."
