âArgh!â Abel moved his head away. âD*mn it!â
Emmeline tried to shove him, but he hugged her tightly once more.
She could not escape from the manâs embrace.
âLet me go, you b*stard!â Emmeline yelled with no regard for her image.
âYou injured me! Donât run away!â
âWhat do you want then?â
âCompensate me with a kiss!â Abel grabbed her face and pressed his lips onto hers.
âF*ck off!â Emmeline grasped his neck tightly. âYouâre about to marry Alana, so why are you doing this with me?â
âI donât want to marry her. You know that!â
Abel grabbed Emmelineâs wrists and removed them from his neck.
âBut you have no other choice! Youâre not going to give up your position!â
âIâve already convinced Grandfather. I want to get the Wonder Doctor to treat her sot wonât owe her anything,â Abel said.
Emmeline was taken aback, and she narrowed her gaze.
Why didnât I hear about that from Benjamin?
He only told me Adrien wanted my help.
âWhat did the Wonder Doctor say?â Emmeline wanted to know what Benjamin told Abel.
âSheâs not taking any appointments.â Abel sighed. âIf I canât treat Alana in a month, Iâll have to fulfill my end of the contract.â
âMarry Alana?â
âYes!â
âCongratulations then!â
âItâs not happening yet!â Abel pinched her chin. âAs long as the Wonder Doctor can cure Alana, the marriage will be called off. What about you? Have you progressed past the point of no return with Benjamin?â
âWhat the heck are you saying, Abel?â Emmeline said angrily. âTake your things and leave at this instant!â
âHah, looks like I guessed right!â Abel smirked. âIâm sure youâre worried that I might accidentally bump into something Iâm not supposed to see!â
Emmeline opened the door and yelled, âSam! Come up here and help me pack up. I want him to leave!â
Sam and Luca ran up the stairs.
âWhat happened, Mr. Ryker?â Luca was confused.
Abel seemed embarrassed. âLetâs pack up and leave!â
www.
Luca turned to look at Emmeline, then at Abel.
He had never seen both of them so angry before.
He knew that things were really finished between Abel and Emmeline.
Worse yet, when Emmeline wanted to refund Abel his rent, she realized that Abel had removed her from his contacts as well!
Emmeline was on the verge of tears. âSam, get Lucaâs contact and return the money to him. I donât want a single cent from them!â
âYes, Ms. Louise!â Sam replied.
Emmeline shoved Abel and ran up the balcony crying.
Abel wanted to follow her, but he thought about it and did nothing.
He stood there for two minutes before he started to pack his belongings.
He opened the closet, took out the suits, and tossed them into his suitcase.
Why the heck do I have so many suits? This is so troublesome!
Sam and Luca helped him. In a short while, they packed two suitcases with Abelâs belongings.
Abel left the café with his head drooped.
He wondered if what he said earlier would affect Emmeline.
If Emmeline was really the Wonder Doctor, she would show up and treat Alana.
If she was not, there was nothing else he could do.
Luca followed behind Abel, carrying two suitcases, and crossed the road.
He could not help but feel sorry for Abel for being thrown out of the café.
Where should he go next?
Luca asked Abel with a frown, âMr. Ryker, where are we going?â
Abel was silent for a while. âI canât return to Rykerâs Mansion. I donât feel like staying at Nimbus Hotel because it doesnât feel like homeâ¦â
