When they found Timothy, Abel rushed to hug him agitatedly.
Alana was beside them.
Amid chaos, Abel caught a glimpse of Emmeline who couldnât stand straight looking very pale. She was in Benjaminâs arms staring back at the three of them hopelessly.
Abel knew he hurt Emmeline.
âIs it okay, Daddy?â Timothy asked.
âHmm. As long as Emmeline agrees to it, we will bring her.â
âThanks, Daddy.â
âAnd alsoâ¦â Abel wanted to say Emmeline searched for him throughout the night but he didnât. He felt that it was not a good thing if Timothy relied on Emmeline too much.
Abel went to the cafe after he comforted Timothy. He didnât know how to comfort Emmeline, he just wanted to stay by her side and embraced her quietly. Words couldnât describe their relationship.
However, Benjamin was still accompanying Emmeline. She looked pale while she was asleep and there were tears in the corner of her eyes.
When Benjamin saw Abel enter the cafe, he dragged him to the platform and punched him.
Abel was unable to dodge the hit and he felt a sting. He never thought that BenjamÃn was so powerful.
Another punch almost landed on his face before he blocked it with his hands.
âYou still have the guts to come here?â Benjamin asked furiously.
âI know Iâm at fault. Thatâs why Iâm here!â Abel retorted.
âYou shouldnât have let her search the kid with you.â
âYou saw how worried she was. Do I have the heart to stop her?â
Benjamin kept quiet. He knew how deeply Emmeline cared for Timothy, They stopped fighting.
âI know youâre helping Emma to vent her anger. I donât blame you for it.â
âYou should know it.â
âI had never thought of hurting her. I felt pain more than anyone else.â
âIf you canât solve your complicated problems, itâs better to stay away from her!â
âI need time for that.â
âThatâs your problem. My interest is just the well-being of Emma.â
âMr. Benjamin, Iâm curious about the relationship you had with Emma. It doesnât seem like you knew her recently,â Abel asked.
âThatâs what you thought. Iâm just starting to court her.â Benjamin smirked.
âIs it? I knew one guy named Benjamin York too. Similar names orâ¦â
âI told you itâs similar. There are a hundred people with this name.â
Thatâs true. Itâs a common name. Abel thought.
âIâll go take a look at Emma.â Abel turned to the stairs.
âShe cried herself to sleep.â Benjamin smiled bitterly as he asked, âI donât understand. Emma treated your child with Alana like her own. What magic did you casten her?â
âIâm curious about her reaction too. I could see her pain. Maybe, she is more fit to be a mother.â
âAbel, since youâre going to engage with Alana, please donât bother Emma anymore. You want her to be happy instead of suffering every day right?â
âI said give me some time. I will take care of everything.â
âI donât believe you. Thereâs Alana and Adrien in between both of you. It could be easy if youâre not from the Ryker family. Donât you think itâs tricky?â
Itâs trickier than usual. Abel thought.
âYour relationship with Emmeline is a mistake. Listen to me and leave her alone.â
