Chapter 145: Chapter 145

I’ll go up then.” Abel wiped his hands on his apron.

“Mm. I’ll go up after I’m done with the dishes.” Emmeline was about to return to the kitchen.

Timothy called out from the staircase, “Mommy, Daddy’s suits are in a mess. He’s not going to put everything back in place. You should help him.”

“Fine! I wonder what’s gotten into all of you?” Emmeline could only follow Abel up the stairs.

Star ran out of the bedroom. “Daddy, Mommy, it’s a mess inside. It’s like barbarians ransacked the place.”

Abel and Emmeline exchange glances, thinking it was very precocious for Star to know what barbarians were.

They went into Abel’s bedroom one after the other and were immediately dumbfounded.

What the heck? This is more like the scene of an earthquake!

“What were they doing?”

Emmeline gawked at the interior of the room. “How did this happen?”

“I guess they got a little carried away,” Abel said while rolling up his sleeves. “There’s no use wondering. Let’s get to work.”

Emmeline crouched on the floor and began to fold the clothes.

“Wait,” Abel suddenly said.

Hm?” Emmeline turned het head to look at him.

Her gaze lingered on his figure. At that moment, he looked like a household man.

“Your finger. I have a band-aid over Emmeline thought it would be something more serious. She waved Your spit probably healed it already.”

“That won’t do. What if it gets infected?”

Abel took a band-aid from the drawer and gently wrapped it around Emmeline’s finger.

“Alright, it won’t get infected,” Abel said and gently blew on it.

Emmeline blushed, feeling warmth in her wildly thumping heart.

The man always looked so serious. She did not expect to see a gentle side of him.

Alana is such a lucky woman.

She did not feel like speaking, so she crouched and continued to clean up.

The pile in front of her was Abel’s expensive clothes.

Emmeline picked them up one by one and hung them in the closet.

She picked up a black suit. “Huh, isn’t this the suit I bought for you?”

Abel quickly took it from her hands, feeling slightly embarrassed.

It was a cheap suit, but Abel had always treasured it.

That was because it was the only gift from Emmeline!

“I didn’t expect you to keep it. I would’ve thought you’d tossed it into the trash,” Emmeline said.

“Why would I throw it away? I was only wearing it yesterday,” Abel said, feeling even more embarrassed.

“…” It was Emmeline’s turn to be embarrassed.

If I had known he would treasure the suit, I should’ve bought something more decent for him.

I shouldn’t have lied to him back then!

“Well, don’t wear it anymore. You have so many bespoke suits. It’ll be embarrassing if other people saw you wear that, they might wonder if Ryker Group is facing difficulties,” Emmeline said.

“A suit alone cannot represent the Ryker Group,” Abel said.

“Well… don’t wear it anyway!” Emmeline felt guilty whenever she saw the suit.

“Those are my clothes. I can do whatever I want!” Abel sounded unhappy. He tossed the suit into the closet.

Emmeline was surprised. Suddenly, everything went dark.

The power had gone out.

“Ah, how unlucky!” Abel exclaimed.

Just as he finished saying that, the power came on again. The two people breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately after that, the bedroom door began to beep. It was the security alarm.

The windows behind them also started beeping.

“Oh no! Why is the security system activated?” Abel said.

Emmeline was also surprised.

Her mansion also had the same security system.

Once it was activated, the doors and windows would lock automatically.

Moreover, the doors and windows were bulletproof. As long as the security system was not disarmed, no one could go in or Abel dashed to the door. As expected, the door was locked.

He went to the window and pushed it. The window did not budge.

“What’s going on?” Abel frowned.
