“Thanks to you,” Adrien’s gaze deepened, “It was after I met you that I began to engage in deep thinking, reflecting on the past.”
With a serious expression on his face, he made Emmeline giggle.
Adrien had always been an interesting person.
“Alright!” Lizbeth interrupted someone’s moment of pride, “Let’s talk about where would be a good location for the Nightfall Cafe chain.”
“After we get married,” Adrien patted his chest, “I’ll help you choose the locations. I promise they’ll be prime spots, overflowing with success!”
“Look, look,” Emmeline pointed at Adrien and smiled at Lizbeth, “Adrien has truly become the king of spoiling his wife, taking care of everything!”
“Hmph! Not spoiling her? Can he not do it?” Lizbeth playfully rolled her eyes at Adrien.
Adrien’s weaknesses were firmly held by her!
“When it comes to spoiling a wife, I still need to learn from Abel.” Adrien laughed. “Abel is second to none, no one dares to claim the top spot.”
“Well then, you better keep working hard,” Lizbeth pouted, “If you can’t compete for the top spot with Mr. Abel, at least aim for a tied first place.”
“I’ll do my best!” Adrien clenched his fist in a cheering gesture.
This made both Emmeline and Lizbeth laugh again.
“Ring!” Lizbeth’s phone rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was her brother Edmond calling.
Lizbeth swiped to answer, and Edmond’s voice came from the other side, “Liz, where are you?”
“Edmond,” Lizbeth said, “Adrien and I are at the Nightfall Cafe. Is there something you need?”
“Mom and Dad said you and Adrien have set a wedding date?” Edmond asked.
“Yeah, on the sixth of this month,” Lizbeth said, “I was just about to tell you.”
“I wanted to discuss something with you too,” Edmond said, “What kind of dowry do you want?”
“Just whatever Mom and Dad give is fine,” Lizbeth said, “You don’t need to spend money, Edmond.”
“How can that be?” Edmond said, “I only have one sister, and marriage is a big deal. I can’t be careless.”
Lizbeth could only nod, “Then Edmond, you decide, whatever you think is good.”
“In that case,” Edmond said, “Tonight, I’ll treat you and Adrien to dinner. Let’s discuss it together.”
“Um…,” Lizbeth hesitated, “Adrien and I just made plans with Emma and Mr. Abel.”
“How about we all go together?” Edmond suggested.
Lizbeth covered the phone’s receiver and asked Emmeline, “Edmond suggested we all go together. Is that okay with you?”
Emmeline didn’t want to dine with Edmond, so she told Lizbeth, “Let’s reschedule for another day. You should go ahead and meet Edmond since he wants to discuss something important.”
Lizbeth could only nod and told Edmond, “It’s not convenient for Emma that night. How about we meet at Seashell Hotel?”
“That works too,” Edmond said, “See you that evening.”
Does Abel dislike me so much?
What’s wrong with having a meal?
Edmond felt a bit dark inside.
After hanging up, Lizbeth apologetically said to Emmeline, “I’m sorry, plans changed unexpectedly.”
“No big deal.” Emmeline smiled. “We can meet any day. Let’s prioritize Edmond’s matter for now.”
“Sure,” Lizbeth pursed her lips and nodded, “I’ll reschedule with you another time.”
The glass door opened, and two more people walked in.
Adrien noticed and stood up, calling out, “Edmond?”
Emmeline also looked up and saw Adam who had just arrived.
Beside him was Ysabel, acting all sweet and innocent.
Seeing this woman, Emmeline furrowed her brows slightly.
The incident where she and Sonia had a confrontation here was still fresh in her memory.
However, Ysabel’s attitude toward Emmeline had taken a 180-degree turn.
She walked over in a few steps, without hesitation, grabbed Emmeline’s hand, and said with a smile, “Emma, I hope you don’t mind my presence. I admit I was wrong last time. Today, I came with Mr. Adam specifically to apologize to you.”
“Heh!” Emmeline pulled her hand back and said calmly, “That’s all in the past, why bring it up?”
