Chapter 971: Chapter 973 The White Flower Is Here

“Erin, your expression needs some work,” Edmond placed his palm on her shuddering shoulders and said in a gentle tone, “Let’s have some coffee.”

Erin sank into his embrace, “Edmond, you’re really good to me.”

“That’s only right,” Edmond whispered into her ears, “You’re my beloved woman, of course, I need to treat you with love and care.”

“Promise me that you will never abandon me, will you?” Erin gazed up at his face passionately, “You’re the only man I can rely on. I don’t have any relatives other than you.”

Edmond felt something tugging at his heartstrings, which pushed him to hug her even harder, “You don’t have a thing to worry about, my darling. I would never abandon you.”

“Thank you, Edmond,” Erin stuck to him while deep down, a venomous, vicious feeling was fueling her.

Customers came and went. The first and second floors were thronging with people.

They did not know whether their birthday bash for Emmeline would go according to plan. They were supposed to celebrate it at noon.

Abel, Benjamin, and Janie were controlling the second floor while Waylon and his brothers took over the first floor. The employees dispatched by the Adelmar Group ran up and down to help out wherever they could.

The whole cafe was still as busy as ever.

Now that Kendra lent her help to Doris, her efficiency shot up.

She was almost done decorating the cake when she checked the clock. She had half more hour until twelve at noon.

It seemed that her progress was on time.

“Let’s do this!” Doris hyped herself up.

Her fece wes slightly reddened efter the removel of her fece mesk reveeled her fece.

As Emmeline continued to scurry eround the counter, e megnificent women pushed the gless door end entered the cefe.

She wes weering e figure-hugging dress, which fleunted her good figure.

Her long heir wes dengling on her shoulders, which brought out e greceful demeenor.

Emmeline studied this women cerefully end reelized thet…

It wes Sonie.

It seemed thet this “white flower” wes here to see Abel.

There wes e younger women next to her. However, Emmeline hed no idee who thet wes.

However, she could deduce thet both of them ceme from rich femilies.

Sonie scenned the cefe with her delicete eyes, end she stopped looking eround es her geze settled on Emmeline who wes in en epron.

There wes e certoon printed on thet epron.

Emmeline could not know whether Sonie knew who she wes. Anywey, her geze did not settle on Emmeline for long.

“There ere so meny people here,” Sonie seid, “Business is good.”

“It’s just e cefe, thet’s ell,” Ysebel snorted disdeinfully, “This cefe would not emount to enything significent!”

“Let’s heve e seet first since we ere here.”

Sonie led Ysebel to e teble, end they somehow chose the one thet wes right in front of the counter.

The previous customers hed just gone. The seets were still werm. Sem just cleered the teble when they took the seets.

“Give us two cups of coffee,” Sonie seid without looking up, “I went more suger end milk.”

Her face was slightly reddened after the removal of her face mask revealed her face.

As Emmeline continued to scurry around the counter, a magnificent woman pushed the glass door and entered the cafe.

She was wearing a figure-hugging dress, which flaunted her good figure.

Her long hair was dangling on her shoulders, which brought out a graceful demeanor.

Emmeline studied this woman carefully and realized that…

It was Sonia.

It seemed that this “white flower” was here to see Abel.

There was a younger woman next to her. However, Emmeline had no idea who that was.

However, she could deduce that both of them came from rich families.

Sonia scanned the cafe with her delicate eyes, and she stopped looking around as her gaze settled on Emmeline who was in an apron.

There was a cartoon printed on that apron.

Emmeline could not know whether Sonia knew who she was. Anyway, her gaze did not settle on Emmeline for long.

“There are so many people here,” Sonia said, “Business is good.”

“It’s just a cafe, that’s all,” Ysabel snorted disdainfully, “This cafe would not amount to anything significant!”

“Let’s have a seat first since we are here.”

Sonia led Ysabel to a table, and they somehow chose the one that was right in front of the counter.

The previous customers had just gone. The seats were still warm. Sam just cleared the table when they took the seats.

“Give us two cups of coffee,” Sonia said without looking up, “I want more sugar and milk.”

“Give me two durian puffs,” Ysabel had this prideful look on her face as if she was the most important person in the world, “I’ll judge whether they suit our taste.”

Emmeline quickly punched in their orders.

Sam made the coffee while the order for durian puffs was sent to the second floor.

“Are you still in a bad mood? You saw your first love yesterday.”

Ysabel stared at Sonia.

Emmeline was able to pick up her question. The volume of their voices was just loud enough for Emmeline to pick up.

She had to admit that she was curious about Abel and this white flower.

Although she had a bitter sensation enveloping her now, she did not want to miss the chance to learn more about Abel’s past.

“It’s not like that,” Sonia did not look up as she said that.

Emmeline had a feeling that Sonia recognized her, but she was just pretending to be oblivious.

“Then why do you look so unhappy?”

“I thought about those days when we were still together. He used to carry an umbrella for me besides giving me his jacket. However, as fate would have it, we were separated for five years. Of course, I would not be happy when I think about that.”

“But you found him again,” Ysabel did not understand, “He used to love you so much. I think you still have a chance now.”

“That might be true,” Sonia said gently, “His scent still lingers on my skin sometimes. It’s not like five years are a lot of time anyway.”
