It was raining outside. In the night, thunder and lightning flashed.
Abel put Emmeline under the quilt, closed the window, and drew the curtains.
Emmeline breathed evenly and slept soundly.
Abel stroked her face with a slight smile. Then, he went back to his bedroom.
Soon, it was midnight.
Lightning flashed, and thunder exploded. Emmeline woke up by the noise and was sober.
Only then did she realize she was sleeping alone in the guest room desolately and lonely.
There was thunder and rain outside, and lightning flashed one after another.
Emmeline was a little scared. She jumped out of bed with the pillow and entered Abelâs bedroom.
Abel was sleeping when he suddenly felt someone slip into his arms. He was slightly startled, then realized that it was Emmeline.
âWhy do you not sleep well in the room and sneak around at midnight? You scare me to death!â
Abel turned on the bedside lamp.
Emmeline nestled into his arms sleepily and muttered, âItâs raining and thundering. Iâm afraid. Canât I sleep with you?â
âYouâre not afraid of anything but rain and thunder?â Abel pushed her away. âDonât make trouble! Go back to your room!â
âI just want to sleep with you.â Emmeline sniffed aggrievedly. âWhy are you so heartless?â
âWhy do we have to sleep together?â Abel said, âWeâre not a couple.â
âAbel,â Emmeline asked sadly, âYou really donât love me? No affection for me?â
âI donât love you anymore,â Abel answered coldly, âYou canât blame me. It was Waylon who gave me the medicine. I donât have any feelings for you. What do you want me to do? You can only blame Waylon.â
âBut I still love you.â Emmeline burst into tears. âI love you more than before. What should I do?â
âHow can you force things about love?â
Abel patted her head. âI canât pretend to love you! Why do you insist on forcing me? Go back to the room and sleep well. Stop worrying about whether I love you or not. Arenât you tired?â
Suddenly, Emmeline tore off her pajamas and revealed her attractive figure.
âIâm yours. Donât you want me?â
Emmelineâs eyes were full of tears of expectation.
Abel did not say a word but pulled the quilt to wrap her.
âGo back to your room. Donât disturb me!â
âAbel, tell me. You really donât love me anymore? You donât want me anymore?â
âI said it. You canât force me.â
âYou mean no love? Abel, I wonât talk to you anymore!â
Emmeline felt ashamed and angry. She jumped out of bed and ran out of the room.
Abel thought she would return to her room, but he heard Kendra shout, âMs. Emmeline, itâs raining outside! Where are you going?â
It turned out that Emmeline had returned to her room to put on her clothes and ran downstairs.
âIâm going back to Nightfall Cafe! I donât want to stay here anymore!â Emmelineâs desperate cry came from the stairs.
Abel got up, grabbed his coat, and ran out of the bedroom. Emmeline had already opened the door and ran out into the rain.
âNotify the guard!â Abel called to the bodyguard on duty, âDonât open the door for Emma!â
Meanwhile, Emmeline had already rushed toward the gate desperately.
Her car was not there. And Luca held the car keys for Abelâs car.
âEmma!â Abel chased out with a black umbrella. âCome back! Youâll catch a cold!â
âI donât want your care!â Emmeline cried in the heavy rain. âYou donât love me! What right do you have to care for me?â
âEmma, be obedient!â Abel rushed over. âCome back with me!â
âI ask one more time! Do you love me?â
Emmeline turned and yelled at him. She was wet all over.
Abel did not answer her.
âYou donât answer. It means you donât love me anymore. Why should I go back?â
Thunder exploded above Abelâs head. The black umbrella was grounded, and an electric current passed through Abelâs body. He suddenly shuddered.
