Chapter 826 Hard To Guess A Man’s Mind
“That is good too,” Emmeline nodded, “I am going to the platform to get some fresh air, once the coffee is ready please add extra sugar, and then send it to me up there.”
“Sure.” Sam quickly agreed.
Ms. Louise asked for more sugar in the coffee, she seemed to be in a really bad mood.
She had a habit of eating sweets when she was in a bad mood.
Emmeline got up and went to the platform on the roof.
The small garden was well kept.
To be exact, the gardeners sent by Abel took good care of it.
Emmeline sat down on the swing chair, kicked her feet on the ground, and the swing began to swing slowly.
She swang up, down, swang up again, and down again..
Just like Emmeline’s ups and downs of thoughts.
Abel, what happened to you?
You did not really suspect that I had anything to do with Adam when I was in the Imperial Palace, did you?
Abel, should you not be such a narrow–minded man?
Did you suspect me so much?
Other than this, I really cannot think of any reason why you wanted to alienate me?
Abel, I am so sad…
There were soft footsteps behind her, and then a cup of coffee was placed on the round wooden table beside her.
Followed by the swing being pushed up.
“Sam,” Emmeline said sadly, “You say, is it hard to guess a man’s mind?”
The person behind her did not say a word.
Only the swing was slowly pushed up and down.
“Right, I forgot,” Emmeline said, “You have not had a serious relationship yet.”
There was still no response from behind.
“How are you getting along with Luca?” Emmeline continued, “Do you feel it?”
O

Then she heard a chuckle from behind.
Emmeline thought that did not sound like Sam, but rather…
When she turned her head, she saw Benjamin slowly pushing her swing behind her.
He was dressed in a discreet and luxurious black suit, which looked so elegant like Abel.
Moreover, both of them looked so cold and extravagant in black suits.
“Ben.” Emmeline raised her eyelashes, wondering, “When did you get here?”
“Just when Sam called me and said you were unhappy, I came here.”
“There is nothing big,” Emmeline dropped her long eyelashes, “I just feel depressed.”
“I just heard you saying that, is it hard to guess a man’s mind?”
Emmeline blushed, “Ben, did you hear that?”
“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop,” Benjamin smiled slightly, “I just came up to bring you coffee, and I overheard it.”
“I thought you were Sam…”
“No worries, I will not laugh at you.”
Even so, Emmeline still felt a little embarrassed.
“Emma,” Benjamin turned the swing around, squatted in front of Emmeline, looked at her with deep eyes, “Is it because of Abel?”
Emmeline thought for a while, pursed her lips and nodded, “Abel seemed to be alienated from me suddenly, I felt a little sad, but it would not be a good idea to ask him.”
“…” Benjamin smiled, “Perhaps you are just overthinking it, Abel is very busy.”
“I know he is busy,” Emmeline lowered her long eyelashes and said, “He was also very busy before, but he never alienated me.”
“He must be exhausted this time,” Benjamin looked at the delicate little face in front of him, “You know it is about the Ryker Group, and the Imperial Palace, and your eyes have not recovered, all these things are on his mind.”
“…” Emmeline pondered for a while, raised her eyes and asked, “Ben, why are you speaking for Abel?”
“…” Benjamin smiled wryly, “I didn’t mean to, I am just talking facts.”
“Then,” Emmeline said, “I am not that difficult either. Let us not talk about it, let us talk about you and Janie, shall we?”
“…” Now it was Benjamin’s turn to lower his eyelids.
What was there to say between him and Janie?
2/3
In the hospital just now, he received a call from Sam, and when he heard that Emmeline was not doing well, he left Janie and rushed over.
At this moment, Janie should be angry, right?
Seeing Benjamin’s silence, Emmeline felt that she had talked too much.
Abel reminded her that she should stay out of Benjamin and Janie’s affairs.
It seemed to be the right thing to do.
“Never mind,” Emmeline said, “If you do not want to talk about it, do not talk about it. I should not ask.”
Benjamin smiled lightly, picked up the coffee and placed it into Emmeline’s hands, “It will not taste good when it is cold.”
