Jonathan took a peek at Glennâs face, and just as expected, he saw nothing but anger. I am sure Glenn is outraged; my plan has succeeded.
On their way back, Emmeline asked Abel, "Are the Ryker family and Steiner family close?"
Abel held her shoulder and said, "Itâs mostly because of Grandpa." When Ryker Group started growing our business, Grandpa owed Glennâs father a favor, and they became friends not long after. However, the relationship between us is not as close now."
Emmeline teased him, "How nice! What an interesting relationship history you had before me. "I've gotten into a relationship with the daughter of Struyriaâs mayor and even engaged with the daughter from the Murphy family."
"Dear, donât be so dense. Canât you see itâs all a marriage of interest?" Abel replied resignedly.
Emmeline was still quite curious. "How about Sonia? Did you guys start the relationship unwillingly too?"
"Grandpa introduced her to me. We are from the same university, but she joined when I was graduating soon. We started dating for a while, but to be honest, I canât commit to this relationship no matter what.
I broke up with her when it was time for me to enter training overseas for five years." "In this period of time, Grandpa gave a little help to the Murphy family from Altney. They proposed for me to marry their daughter, and of course I rejected that offer, and in the end I met you."
"How dare you bring this up! You entered my room by mistake!" Emmeline pouted to express her dissatisfaction.
Abel Quickling held her in his arms and said, "I am so thankful that I accidentally entered your room! I canât imagine how miserable my life would be if I entered Alanaâs room, and she is the one that gave birth to the quadruplets!"
"Thatâs better; I can live a happy and relaxing life on my own." Emmeline smiled.
Abel kissed her and said, "You are meant to be mine. No matter what happens, you are back in my arms."
Emmeline gently pushed him away and said worriedly, "I pity Sonia when I think about it. She put her life at risk for you!"
Abel said, "I donât acknowledge her mindset and attitude. If she doesnât learn to respect herself, how would others respect her?"
"I am worried that we might have caused trouble for the Ryker Group. Soniaâs father, Glenn, is here."
"I donât think he would do anything to us. Glenn takes care of his image; itâs impossible for him to act recklessly for such a trivial matter." Abel answered.
"But Soniaâs mother would not let go of this issue easily; you can easily spot her hatred written all over her face."
Abel comforted her, saying, "Letâs not worry about them. The cause of Soniaâs accident is herself; she canât blame others."
Abelâs phone rang, and it was Waylon who answered in his deep and pleasant voice, "Abel, how was it?"
"Soniaâs parents came to the hospital. I am going back with Emma now."
"Come to Macsen Villa now; we are all here. Letâs celebrate Emmaâs victory today."
"Let me ask Emmaâs opinion." Abel turned to Emmeline, "Are you tired? Do you want to meet Ben?"
"I am not tired; I wanted to meet Ben! I missed his signature dishes!"
Waylon overheard their conversation. "Alright, we will be waiting for you guys here."
Abel and Emmeline arrived at Macsen Villa, as expected. Benjamin, Kenny, and Bowie were all here.
"Ben, where is Janie? Arenât you guys together just a minute ago?" Emmeline asked.
Ben answered, "Sam and Doris are planning to go back to Nightfall Cafe." Janie followed them."
"So I am the only girl here? Thatâs too boring!" Emmeline pouted.
Ben said, "But we are all here. Emma doesnât like your brothers anymore?â
