Emmeline knew too well how attractive her husband was.
Whenever she thought about him, a fluttery feeling would appear in her heart.
Sometimes, after Abel had fallen asleep, she would lie close to him and just stare at his face for a long, long time.
âWhatâs more, Mr. Abelâs body figure is top-notch,â Lizbeth said, âSomeone as disciplined as him would never turn into a fat, old man, but the same canât be said about Adrien!â
âWhy would Adrien someday become fat?â Emmeline winked at Lizbeth, âHe has a muscular frame as well.â
âBut heâs lazy sometimes,â Lizbeth chuckled, âOf course, sometimes Iâm lazy too. We would just lie on the sofa for a long time and do nothing.â
âYouâre really enjoying life,â Emmeline said, âBut I really need to have some sense of urgency. I canât transform into a middle-aged woman while Abel continues to look young, so starting tomorrow, I need to work out hard. I canât allow that fat to stay in my body!â
âYouâre thinking of training?â Lizbeth was gazing at Emmelineâs body with admiration, âIf you really start to train, with how good your figure already is, that would make other women look bad.â
Emmeline did not know what to say.
âYour life is so busy as well. Youâve been running up and down the Nightfall Cafe, just think about how many times youâve used the stairs! Do you seriously think that you need more training?â
Emmeline only realized that upon hearing Lizbethâs comments.
Still, having an active lifestyle and training were two completely different things.
If she trained more, her figure would be firmer, and her core would be strengthened. Just having labor-
intensive work would not allow her to achieve that.
If she had time after work, she had to train more. She could care less about how the other women would turn out to be.
As they continued to banter, someone shouted behind them, âLizbeth!â
The two of them turned around and saw a young woman.
She was dressed in expensive garments, and a luxury brand handbag was dangling from her arm.
âLuna?â Lizbeth stood up giddily, âWhat are the chances of bumping into you here?â
âIâm here with some friends,â Luna grinned, âI saw your car out there, so I came in to see you.â
âDo you have any business with me?â Lizbeth said, âOr do you want to join us for afternoon tea? Ask your friend about this too.â
âI need to consult you on a few things,â Luna smiled, âI canât join the afternoon tea, so I wonât ask my friends to come for now.â
âYou need to consult me on some things?â Lizbeth said awkwardly, âWhat would I know?â She chuckled.
âItâs about your McLaren,â Luna pointed behind her, âIâve set my eyes on a McLaren as well, and I plan to buy one for myself. I want to ask you about the driving experience.â
âDriving experience?â Lizbeth replied, âIn my opinion, itâs quite smooth, and it suits me. I donât know about you, because taste and fit are always something subjective. Some people like to have smooth handling while others want to feel the adrenaline of high speed. Although McLaren is a sports car, itâs not one I step on the gas pedal hard. The car has a low center of gravity, so it hugs the roads quite well.â
âI canât visualize what youâve said,â Luna admitted, âWhat about lending me your car key? Let me have a test drive.â
âGo on,â Lizbeth agreed to that, âThe town area is always choked full of cars. Maybe you should test it on roads that are not too busy.â
âThatâs great,â Luna pulled out a key and placed it on the table, âThis is my key for that Red Lotus out there.â
âI got it,â Lizbeth handed the keys to her McLaren to Luna, âYou can take your time.â
âAlright,â Luna said, âIâll drive your car for two days. Letâs exchange again in two days.â
âSure,â Lizbeth smiled, âGo on, I donât want to take up even more of your time.â
Luna skipped away happily with the McLarenâs keys in her hands.
Ten minutes later, Emmeline and Lizbeth decided to call it a day. They wanted to go home now.
This time, Lizbeth drove the Red Lotus and she sped along the highway.
They reached a traffic junction, and they found that they were stuck in a jam.
It was always so jam in their city so the two of them were not fazed. They killed time by talking about various things Adrienâs car was stuck in the jam as well. Adam was in the passengerâs seat.
The two of them had just finished their lunch in Meriwether Mansion. While Adam had some alcoholic drinks tonight, Adrien, who did not drink, wanted to send his brother back to Avalan safely.
However, his car could not move an inch at the moment. It seemed that this was going to last for a while.
At that moment, some passers-by said, âIsnât that a McLaren? Itâs from Altney, according to the number plate.â
âDamn,â Another one commented, âItâs a sports car that was worth six million dollars, yet it is reduced to a piece of scrap metal now after an accident?â
