“I regret eating it.” Emmeline spat. “That thing is a bit greasy!”

“Hurry up and sip tea.” Janie picked up the teapot and poured tea for Emmeline.

Abel did not know that Emmeline described him as blue cheese. He sneezed twice.

Who is scolding me?

He did not know who was scolding him, but he was shocked by the forward news on his phone.

“Thanks to him for giving me time to restore my health and beauty. I look forward to the engagement with him.”

Is this Alana’s post? Abel furrowed.

Alana, how dare you spread the news? The engagement eight months later is only my plan to delay. Are you not afraid you’ll be embarrassed if you can’t get engaged?

Alana was not afraid of being embarrassed. She dared not think about what would happen eight months later.

She only wanted to make the whole of Struyria know she would be engaged to Abel.

As for the engagement time, she let them speculate on it. She even wanted Emmeline to guess it as she bet Emmeline would feel pain during the process.

Emmeline, have you seen my Twitter now? I spent money on the entertainment reporters to repost it crazily. And Abel, you should have seen it too, right? You told me about the engagement, so you can’t blame me for posting it!

Alana wanted to test Abel’s reaction. Sitting on the hospital bed, she dialed Abel’s phone number.

Abel was staring at the post when a phone call suddenly came in. It was Alana. After pondering for a while, he picked it up.

Alana asked softly over there, “Abel, are you busy?”

Abel answered lightly, “No. I’m in the office looking at your Twitter.”

Alana pouted coquettishly. “I was so happy that I couldn’t help post it on Twitter. Please don’t blame me.”

“I won’t.” Abel remained indifferent.

Alana was Timothy’s mother, who risked her life to block the gun for him. He was willing to treat her well if she was kind and gentle.

Although he could not give her love, he could respect her and give her kindness. He was willing to find a reliable man for her and give her endless wealth so that she could enjoy a life without worrying about everything. But he felt wary and disliked her. He could not have genuine feelings for her but had no choice be with her.

Alana asked, “Abel, I know you’re busy. That’s why you didn’t come to see me.”

Abel did not answer her. In fact, he was not busy but did not want to see her either.

“Abel, I don’t blame you. The Ryker Group is so huge. I know you must have spent all your time on your work.”

Abel remained silent. The Ryker Group was moving forward smoothly without any problems.

“Abel, why don’t you bring Timmy over here? I’ve been in the hospital. I miss him so much that sometimes I cry alone…”

Abel hesitated. Would Alana miss her son? He was unsure about that.

“Abel, I’m sad that Timmy doesn’t like me. It’s because Madame Ryker brought him up in the Ryker family. I spent very little time with him and didn’t even give him breastfeeding. It makes me sad to think about it…”

What she said was true. Timothy had been with Rosaline since Alana brought him to the Ryker family.

“Abel, please, bring Timmy over here. Let me meet him. I miss our son…”
