Iâm⦠Iâm being caught!â Emmeline wanted to clarify that she wasnât his wife, but it seemed troublesome to sort things out in front of the traffic police.
Adrien did not dare to enrage the patrolling traffic police either; he would not dare to interfere with public duties.
He asked the patrolling traffic police politely, âHow can we solve this issue?â
âPay the fine, and sheâs not allowed to ride the electric bicycle without a helmet now.â
âItâs impossible for me to push it back all the way⦠Itâs very far from where I wanted to go.â
âThat canât be helped; if not, we can arrange a tow truck for you, and you ean get your vehicle back from the traffic police department tomorrow.â The traffic police suggested âItâs fine, Iâll push it back!â Emmeline refused to get help.
âIâll take over from here; you wonât have the strength to push all the way home.â Adrien said to her.
Adrien paid fifteen dollars for the fine, and he asked his driver to leave without him. He helped Emmeline push her old electric bicycle.
âHey, I do not need your help; I can do it by myself.â Emmeline tried to stop Adrien.
âYou just tag along behind me. Isnât this romantic? Just like the couples back in the school days.â
Adrien responded.
Emmeline âwas speechless.
She thought of abandoning her electric bicycle now, but she needed it as a cover.
Abel was off from work at the Ryker Group.
His Rolls-Royce was being guarded between two bodyguardsâ cars.
When the car was passing by the traffic light, Luca suddenly said from the passenger seat, âMr. Ryker, I think I saw Mr. Adrien with Ms. Louise.â
A-Adrien is with Emmeline?
Abel stopped pinching his bridge of the nose, and he peered in their direction.
On the sidewalk, his handsome Becond cousin, Adrien, was pushing an old electric bicycle.
A woman was following him closely.
The woman in sportswear seemed sporty and graceful at the same timé.
âSlow down!â Abel said hoarsely.
Luckily, the driver was alert all the time, so he managed to slow down steadily.
Abel was staring at Adrien as his three luxurious cars drove by the sidewalk.
Why does she look so happy with him?
It was proven that he was the biological father to Helios, Endymion, and Hesperus. He was the first man Emmeline had ever been with!
I was her man!
So what is he doing with her now?
He knew that he was being unreasonable, but he was very jealous!
Is she agreeing to marry Adrien?
What if sheâs really the Wonder Doctor?
How can I explain this to Granddad?
âMr. Ryker, should we stop our car?â
Luca was alerted to Abelâs mood, so he asked him.
âNo, turn left at the intersection.â Abel spoke emotionlessly.
*Turn left?âWhere are you going?â Luca was curious.
âIâm going to my rental house. Iâll stay there for the night!â Abel responded.
Luca suddenly recalled that Mr. Ryker had rented a place and moved out of his house.
He did it to be undercover.
Adrien pushed the old electric bicycle and passed three traffic lights. Emmeline followed him closely along the way. After turning left at the intersection, they arrived at Emmelineâs place.
Adrien was out of breath, but he did not show it.
His shirt was entirely soaked with sweat underneath his suit. It was sticky to his body.
Adrien fantasized about entering Emmelineâs house and had a hot, steamy shower in there.
But the man leaning against the lamppost at the caféâs entrance shattered his fantasies.
The man was handsomely tall; his slender legs were crossed, and he was folding his arms.
He looked elegant and charming.
âA-Abel Ryker?â Emmeline and Adrien exclaimed at the same time.
âWhy are you here?â Adrien was upset to see him; he felt that he would ruin his plan.
âWhy canât I be here? I forgot to inform you, this is my house!â
âYou house? E-Em, youâre having an affair behind my back?â Adrien was stunned for a while, and he questioned Emmeline fiercely.
Affair?
