Benjamin looked confused. “What are you talking about?”

“Don’t forget that Emma and Abel have four kids together!” Ethan exclaimed. “I know you’ve had feelings for Emma for a long time, but they’re a family and they’ve been through so much. How could you even think about interfering like that? Don’t you think it’s immoral?”

Benjamin let out a bitter laugh and whispered, “Ethan, where did you get the idea that I’m trying to come between Abel and Emma?”

“I saw it just now,” Ethan replied. “Emma was snuggled up to you and acting all cute. And before that, when she got hurt, you took her away and when she came back, you two were acting like that. Don’t you see that you’re getting in between Emma and Abel?”

“I…” Benjamin began but trailed off. “I don’t think I can explain it to you.”

“Then don’t bother,” Ethan said firmly. “Even though you’re my boss and I receive a hefty paycheck from you, when it comes to Emma, I stand with Abel. After all, he’s the father of my four nephews. If you were their father, I would stand with you too. But there’s a first come, first served rule here, and Abel came first. So, my dear brother-in-law, I only recognize Abel. I hope Mr. Benjamin, you stay away from our family.”

“Ethan,” Benjamin protested. “Things are not what you think. I’m not that despicable!”

“I hope not,” Ethan said. “But when it comes to Emma, I’ll also advise her to reconcile with Abel.”

“Ethan, you should stay out of this,” Benjamin said. “It will only make things worse.”

“How can it get worse?” Ethan asked. “I’m just urging Emma to marry Abel as soon as possible. Is that going to make things worse?”

“Marriage is not a bad idea,” Benjamin said, “just make it happen, and I’ll double your bonus.”

“A bonus for this?” Ethan was surprised and curious.

“Yeah,” Benjamin nodded, “as long as Emma and Abel get married happily, I’ll keep my promise.”

“Then leave it to me,” Ethan said confidently, patting his chest.

After Ethan left the room, Benjamin took a deep breath and rubbed his chest.

He was afraid that Ethan’s good intentions would only make things worse, but he had no way to explain the truth.

Back in the room, Ethan leaned in close to Abel’s ear and whispered, “Abel, I’m on your side. The matter is settled now. Benjamin supports you and Emma getting married.”

Abel thought to himself that the issue at hand was not about who supported him or not. Even if the whole world did not support him, he would still marry Emmeline. But the problem now was whether Emmeline would fall in love with him again.

What troubled him was how to make Emmeline fall in love with him again.

“Ethan,” Abel said, “if you really want to help me and Emma, then create more opportunities for Emma to be with me. Like last night, she moved back to Nightfall Cafe to live.”

“That’s easy,” Ethan said. “You’re so stubborn. Just move to Nightfall Cafe too. Wherever Emma goes, you go!”

Abel thought for a moment. Although Ethan’s method was simple and crude, it was the only good solution.

Soon the food and drinks arrived, and Abel deliberately drank a few more glasses.

After finishing the meal, he was feeling a bit “tipsy”.

Since he had been drinking, Abel couldn’t possibly drive.

Luca drove the Rolls-Royce and followed Abel’s instructions to quickly return to Nightfall Cafe.

As the bodyguards helped Abel stumble towards the café, Emmeline exclaimed, “Abel, who told you to come here?!”

But Abel was already passed out on the shoulder of one of the bodyguards.

“Ms. Louise,” the bodyguard said, “with Mr. Abel in this state, there’s only so much we can do. We’ll have to trouble you.”

Emmeline stomped her foot and angrily exclaimed, “Abel, are you doing this on purpose?!”
