Evelyn couldn't help but steal glances at her. This woman was simply stunning.
Her petite face, with skin so delicate it seemed like it could break at the slightest touch.
Her deep, dark eyes were like black peaches, and her delicate nose only added to her charm.
Her plump, pink lips were simply irresistible, enough to make anyone's heart skip a beat.
It wasn't just men who found her attractive, even women couldn't help but be drawn to her.
Especially when she leaned over the operating table, her pert little butt and slender, toned waist were enough to make anyone blush.
Sam brought over two cups of coffee and sat down with Emmeline at the table.
"Ms. Louise, you've been so engrossed with Mr. Abel that you've forgotten about me, haven't you?" teased Sam.
"What are you talking about?" Emmeline shot back playfully. "I only missed one day!"
"It feels like it's been days," Sam pouted.
As the two friends bantered, Emmeline's phone suddenly rang.
Without checking the caller ID, she answered, "Hello?"
On the other end of the line, Abel's tender voice could be heard. "Your husband has a name, you know."
"Abel Ryker," Emmeline immediately replied with a smile.
"Don't you think that's too formal?" Abel sounded slightly annoyed. "Using my full name like that."
"But isn't a name meant to be called?" Emmeline countered.
"I just don't want to hear it," Abel replied stubbornly.
"Then what do you want to be called?" Emmeline asked curiously.
"Of course, I want to be called 'hubby'," Abel replied with a hint of playfulness in his voice.
Emmeline couldn't bring herself to say the word "hubby" out loud. She hesitated for a moment before trailing off, "Hu..."
"To call or not to call?" Abel teased on the other end. "Otherwise, I'll run away with our little ones!"
"That's not fair," Emmeline protested. "I'll be sad if I can't see our children."
"Then will you call me?" Abel pressed.
"Hub...by," Emmeline said, her voice trailing off uncertainly.
"Nope, not good enough. Try again," Abel insisted.
"Hu...bby," Emmeline pouted into the phone.
"I didn't hear you. Your voice was too soft," Abel replied, unrelenting.
Emmeline couldn't help but let out an exasperated sigh. "Hubby!" she exclaimed, giving in to Abel's playful demands.
"Hubby!" Emmeline shouted, her voice ringing out in the café.
She quickly turned around, scanning the room to make sure no one had heard her.
Luckily, there was only one other customer in the café, a woman sitting in the corner with her head down, sipping her coffee.
"You're embarrassing me!" Emmeline scolded playfully into the phone. "Can't you stop teasing me?"
