Ysabel gave him the flowers and asked, “Mr. Adam, can I treat you to a meal?”
“I have just finished my lunch.”
“We can go for tea time. We can also spend the whole afternoon together to have some fun. And have dinner together in the evening.” Ysabel said.
“Alright, but let me treat you. Congratulations on your recovery and discharge from the hospital!” He agreed to the invitation.
“I am so honored!” Ysabel tried to suppress her excitement; she feared she would give him a kiss on the spot.
“Let’s go; my car is in the parking lot.” Adam said.
“Great!” Ysabel grabbed Adam’s arms, and they walked out through the door side by side.
Emmeline and Abel glanced at each other and laughed out loud. Emmeline said, “The world can’t live without Adam! He made people’s day!” Abel agreed, saying, “Ysabel is compatible with him; the two are more or less the same!” Emmeline sighed. “Such a rare sight. They are destined!”
Maxwell was sent back home by his driver, and Ethan and Grace went back to work. Abel fetched Emmeline back to the Nightfall Cafe. On their way back, Abel’s phone rang; it was an unknown number. He answered the phone, thinking that it might be his client. A woman answered in a soft voice, “Abel?” He was stunned because he knew this voice…it was Sonia!
He frowned and replied coldly, “Why do you have my number?”
“It’s not difficult for me to find your phone number at all.” Sonia replied softly.
“What do you want from me?” Abel’s face turned gloomy.
Emmeline looked at him curiously, and he put the call on speaker.
“I just want to thank you for sending me to the hospital that day.”
Abel sneered, “Anyone would do that. And it’s not me; it’s us! There were a few of us!”
Sonia said, “But you are the one that carried me into the car and into the hospital. So I wanted to thank you.”
Abel replied impatiently, “There isn’t a need to do so! I will end the call now.”
“Please wait; do you know that my mother was admitted to the hospital too?”
“Does it have anything to do with me?” He replied coldly.
“Abel, you won’t become so ruthless, right? The relationship between our two families has always been very good. My mother and I will attend Mr. Ryker’s birthday every year. Madame Ryker will also appear on my grandpa’s birthday every year.
Abel stayed silent; she is not wrong about this.
Sonia continued, “You ignored the fact that I am in the hospital; it’s fine. But my mother was hospitalized; do you think you could neglect her as well?”
Abel said, “I will seek and listen to my wife’s opinion on this matter.”
Sonia sneered, “Should this matter actually be decided by your wife? Since when have you been so afraid of your wife?”
Abel did not care what Sonia would think of him; “I respect her. So what if I listen to her? It was my way to show affection.”
“Are you really in love with her? You only accepted her because of your kids!”
“Stop living in your imaginary world; I am busy. Bye!” Abel snorted.
Sonia shouted, “Abel!”
Right before Abel hung up the call, Emmeline shouted back sarcastically, “Ms. Steiner, please rest assured! I will take my husband to visit your mother and you. I wish you a speedy recovery!”
Sonia lost her words. So Emmeline has been beside Abel all along? She heard everything I said just now!
