Chapter 489: Chapter 490

“Mr. Abel and Mr. Benjamin,” he showed three fingers and said, “they drank three bottles of hard liquor.”

“Three bottles?” She frowned and said, “That’s too much, it would damage their bodies. Mr. Abel’s stomach just recovered not long ago.”

“Who didn’t know it?” Luca said, “But Mr. Abel was sad, it was good for him to be drunk.”

“I’m making some soup to sober him up.” Kendra helped Lucas to put Abel on the bed, and took his shoes off.

“Okay, you can go now.” Luca was tucking Abel in.

“Emma…” Abel muttered.

Luca was about to get out but he froze. He ran to his bedside and said excitedly, “Mr. Abel, do you still have feelings for Ms. Louise?”

But, Abel turned his body and slept soundly.

“Mr. Abel,” Luca tried to push him, he hoped that he could call out for Emmeline once more.

Despite Emmeline being dead or alive, he hoped that Abel could be someone with feelings. Yet, Abel was sleeping soundly until the evening next day.

Abel opened his eyes and looked at his watch, it was already seven o’clock in the evening. “Luca!” He called out.

“I’m coming!” Luca opened the bedroom door and walked in.

“Mr. Abel, you’re finally awake.”

“Why didn’t you wake me up?” Abel frowned and asked, “Look at the time now, I shouldn’t be sleeping, there is still so much work to be done.”

Luca scratched his head and said. “You can’t blame me, Mr. Abel. I mean, you were a complete mess and Kendra made you a fixer. We didn’t force feed you the drink.”

“Forget it.” Abel brushed him off and said, “I need a shower you can leave.”

“But Mr, Abel, Did you think about someone when you’re drunk?” Luca approached him.

Abel was stunned as he asked, “Who do you think I’d think about?”

“Well…” Luca said. “The person you missed the most…”

“Are you talking about Kendra?” Abel asked. He said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Luca was stunned by this. “But sir. You were calling out a girl’s name.”

“Wasn’t that Kendra?” Abel asked. He continued, “You weren’t here when I’m almost dying of thirst.”

Luca was speechless by this. It seemed that Abel had truly forgotten about Emmeline. Hypnosis did not seem to work on him.

“I need a shower,” said Abel. He continued, “Have Kendra make something light. I don’t want to eat anything else.” Luca got out after that. Kendra went to make a light dinner after his request.

It seemed that Luca and the others would have to get the cook’s help for their dinner. Abel took care of Kendra’s child after dinner. Kendra was busy cleaning up with the others. It was a peaceful day.

Abel went to work early the next day, Since he was drinking with Kendra last night, he had to take care of more work that day. Apparently he had guests that day. They were Rosaline and Evelyn. Kendra had met them previously, but they did not have much interaction back then.

“Madam,” Kendra greeted. “I’ll get you some tea after I tend to my child.”

“It’s fine.” Rosaline said. She continued, “I have something to tell you.”

Kendra noticed the tension as she asked, “What do you need, madam?”

“I found out things about you. You have helped my son.”

“It’s fine, Mr. Abel has helped us too.”

“I know it’s sad to be a single mother. My son only kept you around out of pity.”

“Yeah and I will always be grateful for Mr. Abel.”

“But have you ever considered that it’s inappropriate for you to be here?”
