Ring, ring, ring. The telephone rang.
Emmeline had called.
âEmma?â Waylon spoke swiftly, his voice calm.
âWaylon,â Emma asked, a smile on her face, âdid you play the hero and save the damsel in distress?â
âYou have sharp ears!â Waylon said indulgently.
âYou defended our family; thatâs admirable. I heard about it and recognized it right away,â Emma added.
Waylon knew it had to be Adrienâs fault. Adrien, after all, managed the Nimbus Hotel.
âWhat do you mean I defended our family?â Waylon asked. âSomeone bullied my assistant, so I intervened. My assistant is just a figurehead and rarely does any work.â
âI see,â Emma said, sensing Waylonâs cautious distance. âAnyway, itâs good that you stood for Doris;
Waylon, you fought bravely for love!â
âEnough!â Waylon exclaimed, rolling his eyes. âAre you mocking your Waylon? Donât you have anything better to do?â âIf youâre free, come help me study herbs!â
âIâm busy,â Emma explained. âIâve been dealing with Nightfall Cafeâs expansion; franchisees. from all over have come to discuss collaboration.â
âThen why do you care about my business?â Waylon asked, adding, âTake care of your own affairs first.â
âI was just asking,â Emma explained. âDid anyone express dissatisfaction after you finished fighting? If so, let me know, and Iâll confront them on your behalf.â
âYouâre always afraid that the world wonât be chaotic enough, you little troublemaker,â Waylon exclaimed, âand you never think any task is too big for you!â
âIâm telling you the truth,â Emma declared. âIsnât there anyone whoâs dissatisfied?â
âWho dares to be dissatisfied?â scoffed Waylon. âIf theyâre dissatisfied, they can bring their whole family to find me.â
âHaha, Waylon is domineering Emma remarked. âYou ruled over Osea, and now youâve come to Struyria. Not bad.â
âI know,â Waylon conceded, âyouâre just teasing your Waylon when you call.â
âYou know Iâm not,â Emma pointed out. âIs Doris okay? Did she get hurt?â
âShe has a minor flesh wound on her knee,â Waylon explained. âIâve already taken care of it for her.â
âTell her to rest at home tomorrow, and Iâll come see her when I have time,â Emma added.
âAll right,â Waylon replied, âthank you on her behalf.â
âThen Iâll hang up,â Emmeline remarked with a smile, adding, âI wonât keep you any longer.â
This youngster Emmeline, on the other hand, had already hung up.
âDid you find out?â Abelâs eyes twinkled with curiosity.
âHehe, itâs interesting!â Emmeline exclaimed, adding, âWaylon and Doris will definitely have chemistry, but Waylon is currently confused.â
âThen letâs wait and see,â Abel suggested. âAs long as he isnât completely oblivious, he will develop feelings sooner or later.â
âYou should go take a shower!â Emmeline advised. âWhen did you become so nosy?â
Her spouse was only wearing briefs and looked attractive and seductive, making her blush and her heart race.
âIâm not nosy,â remarked Abel. âBut I genuinely care about Waylon; heâs already thirty.â
âGo quickly!â Emmeline had had enough, grabbed Abel, and pulled him into the restroom.
Abel couldnât help but say, âSweetheart, wait for me to finish washing!â before closing the door.
âAre you done yet?â Emmeline asked, her face flushed to the tips of her ears.
This man is quite irritating: he constantly wants to play with her every night.
This seems to be more important to him than managing the Ryker Group Emmeline bought fruit the next day and went to Starhill Garden to visit Doris.
Dorisâs knee wound had already scabbed over; it didnât appear to be serious.
She was probably scared and anxious at the time, and falling hurt a lot.
âDaniel is the same,â Emmeline snarled. âHe clearly took you out, but he couldnât take care of you; is he even a man?â
