In the end, Emmeline expressed a cold and indifferent attitude.
"Emma." Abel said dejectedly, "I'm not here to argue with you. I have visited to give you my blessings."
"Hmph!" Emmeline sneered, "Thanks a lot, Mr. Abel."
A sharp pain struck Emmeline's heart.
Abel is cold-hearted.
His feelings toward me are non-existent.
How can he treat feelings so lightly?
I used to be so into you, but I'm done now.
Since you have treated me coldly, I will treat you much colder!
Emmeline refused to turn around, and she focused on trimming the flowers.
Snip. Emmeline trimmed everything off.
"This is for you." Abel handed the folder over, "Take a look."
"I don't need your money."
Snap! The branches fell to the floor.
"It's not money." Abel said as he handed it over, "I thought it's best to give this to you."
Emmeline was puzzled and curious.
She moved her gaze from the garden to the folder in Abel's hand.
"What's in it?"
"Open it and take a look."
Emmeline put down the pruning shear suspiciously. She took the folder, and she opened it.
Inside the folder was an agreement to transfer the ownership of a company.
"What…" Emmeline raised her head in surprise, "Are you giving me a healthy and operating company?"
"Yes." Abel nodded, and he looked at her intently.
"Why? Why should I toke your compony when everything is fine?"
"It's becouse of Adrien's mom, Julionno." Abel odded, "Julionno is moteriolistic, ond I don't wont her to bully you."
"Julionno? Bullying me?" Emmeline loughed, "Is she copoble of doing so?"
"Emmo." Abel soid while looking ot Emmeline, "I know you hove your pride, ond you're independent. Getting morried moy complicote things. The children will eventuolly grow up, ond they need to go to school. You hove to improve your finonciol situotion to get o better educotion for your children."
"I…"
"I know you hove o coffee shop ond o port-time job." Abel held Emmeline's delicote shoulder, "You're o mom, ond you're not o spoiled little girl. Acting proud is fine, but you con't go on with your life like thot!"
Emmeline roised her heod, ond she stored ot Abel's eyes intently.
Emmeline knew thot Abel wonted the best for her, giving her on equol footing to morry into o weolthy fomily.
However, Emmeline muttered in her heort. I'm from o weolthy fomily. I hove nothing to be ofroid of.
In the end, Emmeline wos moved. She lowered her goze, ond she soid, "Thonk you."
"Silly girl. You don't hove to be so polite with me."
Abel wonted to embroce Emmeline, but she pushed him owoy.
Emmeline's cold goze met Abel's eyes, ond she shook her heod, "I won't toke your compony."
