âFace is something you give yourself,â Emmeline replied, ânot something others bestow upon you.
âI just wanted to learn from Mr. Abel because he plays basketball so well,â Sonia said, âbut Mr. Abel treats us like enemies.â
âIsnât that the case?â Abel sneered, âNightfall Cafe caused trouble, and there was an incident. in Dracovia. Are we not enemies?â
Soniaâs face turned pale as she said, âMr. Abel, I apologize for what happened at Nightfall Cafe. It was my mom who saw me injured during the race and acted out of concern for me. I know I was wrong, but what do you mean by the incident in Dracovia? Mr. Abel, please donât falsely accuse others. Even if we havenât become a family, based on our past relationship, you shouldnât say such things about me.â
âCalling you âlightâ would be an understatement,â Abel coldly sneered. âIf I find out who is behind the incident in Dracovia, I wonât be as polite as I am today!â
Sonia remained silent.
Her mom had told her that the people sent to Dracovia had their limbs broken by Abel.
âEmma, the air here is not good.â Abel furrowed his brows and said, âLetâs go do something else.â
âHold on,â Sonia said. âSince Mr. Abel refuses to teach me, can I learn from Ms. Louise about the overall situation?â
Abel was about to defend Emmeline, but she coldly laughed and said, âMiss Steiner is my defeated subordinate. What else does she want to learn?â
âI admit that I lost to you in the race,â Soniaâs face lifted, âbut I believe that in table tennis, you may not be my match!â
âHuh,â Emmeline smiled faintly, âMiss Steiner just witnessed it; I am indeed not skilled in table tennis.â
âSo youâre afraid to compete with me, is that it?â Sonia sneered, squinting at Emmeline.
âWhat is there to be afraid of?â Emmeline smiled and said, âIsnât it just a game of table tennis? Although I am a beginner, it doesnât mean I canât beat Miss Steiner.â
âIf thatâs the case, why not give it a try?â Sonia coldly smiled and said, âConsidering that Ms. Louise is a beginner, Iâll give you three rounds!â
âNo need,â Emmeline said. âIâll have my husband give me some pointers, and I can easily defeat Miss Steiner.â
Soniaâs face tightened as she fiercely said, âFine, Iâll see how Mr. Abel can train Ms. Emmeline into a skilled player in such a short time!â
âThen letâs give it a try, shall we?â Emmeline smiled lightly, turning to Abel and saying. âHubby, teach me.â
âOkay!â Abel nodded. âIâm willing to serve my wife!â
Sonia had a black face and didnât want to hear the two of them calling each other âhubbyâ and âwifeâ.
The constant use of âhusbandâ and âwifeâ was like a sharp sword, ruthlessly stabbing at her heart.
Abel helped Emmeline choose a pool cue and handed her pink chalk.
The lady who was practicing with them also set up a table of balls.
Abel stood behind Emmeline, his tall figure pressing against her slender waist. He bent down, circling his arm around her waist, helping her grip the pool cue and aim.
âAt this angle, shoot faster; keep your wrist steady; donât shake. The ball can go into either. pocket.â
Abel patiently explained it to Emmeline.
She let him hold her, let him grip her arm, and hit the ball; the two of them were intimately intertwined.
Soniaâs face turned black from watching.
But the others were moved.
âBang!â
With one stroke, the ball opened, and four of them fell into the pockets.
âWow, amazing!â Emmeline said in Abelâs arms, âYouâre really good!â
âLetâs go again,â Abel said, holding her waist and taking two steps. âThis angle, aim for these few balls.â
Emmeline held the pool cue and bent down at the edge of the table. Abel extended his long. arm, enveloping her in his embrace, and taught her hand in hand once again.
The couple taught and learned seriously, looking like a perfect match.
But in the eyes of the people around them, it was clearly just a public display of affection.
Abel embraced Emmeline, showing tenderness and teaching her carefully. She leaned against him, speaking softly with her bright eyes.
Coupled with their natural talent and beauty, they were especially eye-catching, making the hearts of several people race and their blood boil.
Sonia regretted it to the core.
How could she make it difficult for Emmeline?
It was clearly an opportunity for them as a couple, allowing them to show off in front of her!
