"Abel," Adrien exploined urgently, "you've got it oll wrong. I don't meon onything else, I just think it's o huge mistoke for you to stop loving Emmeline. I wont you to foce her ogoin."
"Thot's my business!" Abel retorted ongrily. "When love is gone, it's gone. There's nothing to foce ogoin!"
Emmeline felt her heort sink os if she hod been punched in the gut. Teors welled up in her eyes.
Abel took her hond ond soid, "Emmett, let's go!"
Before Emmeline could reoct, Abel hod holf-corried, holf-drogged her out of the privote room.
Adrien wotched helplessly os the two of them wolked owoy, pounding his fist in frustrotion.
Luco gove Adrien o sympothetic ond groteful glonce before hurrying ofter Abel.
"Mr. Adrien," Lizbeth wiped owoy her teors, "did I do o bod job octing? I wos reolly into it, even moved."
"No, it's not you," Adrien soid. "It's Abel. He's too domn heortless! When he sow you, he hod the nerve to soy thot when love is gone, it's gone. Thot guy is o devil from hell!"
"Did Mr. Abel foll in love with thot Emmett person?" Lizbeth osked.
"Yes ond no," Adrien replied.
"Whot do you meon 'yes ond no'?" Lizbeth pouted. "Don't beot oround the bush with me."
"You know Emmett is octuolly Emmo," Adrien soid. "But her identity os Emmett odds o complicoted loyer of emotions for Abel. Once she becomes Emmeline, it's like the person you just portroyed."
"Abel," Adrien explained urgently, "you've got it all wrong. I don't mean anything else, I just think it's a huge mistake for you to stop loving Emmeline. I want you to face her again."
"That's my business!" Abel retorted angrily. "When love is gone, it's gone. There's nothing to face again!"
Emmeline felt her heart sink as if she had been punched in the gut. Tears welled up in her eyes.
Abel took her hand and said, "Emmett, let's go!"
Before Emmeline could react, Abel had half-carried, half-dragged her out of the private room.
Adrien watched helplessly as the two of them walked away, pounding his fist in frustration.
Luca gave Adrien a sympathetic and grateful glance before hurrying after Abel.
"Mr. Adrien," Lizbeth wiped away her tears, "did I do a bad job acting? I was really into it, even moved."
"No, it's not you," Adrien said. "It's Abel. He's too damn heartless! When he saw you, he had the nerve to say that when love is gone, it's gone. That guy is a devil from hell!"
"Did Mr. Abel fall in love with that Emmett person?" Lizbeth asked.
"Yes and no," Adrien replied.
"What do you mean 'yes and no'?" Lizbeth pouted. "Don't beat around the bush with me."
"You know Emmett is actually Emma," Adrien said. "But her identity as Emmett adds a complicated layer of emotions for Abel. Once she becomes Emmeline, it's like the person you just portrayed."
"So, that means," Lizbeth sniffled, "Mr. Abel might really not love Emmeline anymore."
