Chapter 1446 Sowing Discord
A garment gently draped over her shoulder.
Emmeline was startled and turned around with pleasant surprise. “Abel!”
Yet, to her dismay, Benjamin was the one who had placed the garment on her.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Perhaps it was disappointment or resentment.
“Abel couldn’t find you. He’s going crazy!” Benjamin sat down beside her, embracing her trembling shoulders. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“Where is he?” She tearfully asked. “Where is he? Why didn’t he come to pick me up?”
“He couldn’t free himself from something important.” He said, “He’ll be back tomorrow morning.”
Abel didn’t want Benjamin to inform Emmeline about Maxwell being hospitalized.
Since the situation had already stabilized, there was no need to upset her again.
He wanted her to have a good night’s sleep today, and it wouldn’t be too late to take her to the hospital tomorrow morning.
“Tomorrow morning?” Emmeline furrowed her brows lightly. “What is he doing outside?”
“Regardless, he hasn’t done anything wrong” Benjamin said. “Abel wants you to enjoy your pasta and get a good night’s sleep. Just wait for him to return.”
She felt a sense of relief in her heart, and a faint smile appeared.
After escorting Emmeline back to the Ryker Group’s residence, Benjamin called Abel.
“I’ve already taken her home. Take good care of her. Her eyes are all red from crying!”
Abel promptly ended the call with him and dialed Emmeline’s number.
“Abel.” Emmeline tried to sound calm, but tears silently streamed down her face.
“Emma.” He hoarsely said, “Tell me, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. She replied, “I’ve been busy all day and couldn’t join you for a meal. I’m sorry.”
“It’s my fault, I can’t come back. He asked, “You didn’t have dinner, did you?”
“No.” She said, “But I’ll make something for myself later.”
“Why was your phone turned off?” he asked hoarsely.
“Because I couldn’t find you. She choked and said, “Even if it’s on, I wouldn’t have received your call.’
Abel’s heart completely shattered.
She woke up the next day to a steady knocking on the door.
Emmeline checked the time; it was 7:30 am.
Who can it be so carly? Does Abel not have the keys?
She pur on her slippers and walked over to open the door. To her surprise, it was Alana standing outside!
Alana seemed to assume that there was no one inside. When the door opened, she lost her balance and almost fell.
“Alana?” Emmeline was startled. “You’re here so early. Is something wrong?”
Alana awkwardly smiled. “I suppose you didn’t have breakfast, so I brought you some.”
As she walked in, she placed the breakfast on the table.
In that instant, Emmeline noticed a silver hairpin in Alana’s hair.
It was hers!
Her heart skipped a beat.
She remembered Landon mentioning yesterday afternoon that Alana and Abel went out together.
They turned off their phone, and Abel didn’t return all night.
They’re together all this time?
“Yesterday, I was with Abel With a victorious smile, Alana said, “It was my birthday the day before, and he had a meal with me
Emmeline’s heart sank. Wasn’t Abel with Dylan that day!
Did he lie?
“Oh. Emmeline replied calmly, “It’s nothing. You can leave.”
“Let’s chat for a while.” Alana smiled. “I think you’ll be interested in what I want to say”
“I’m not interested!” Emmeline coldly said, “I need to freshen up. Abel will come to pick me up later.”
“Pick you up?” Alana seemed doubtful. She was afraid of encountering Abel.
That man was too sharp, and she couldn’t handle him.
“Do you have a problem?” Emmeline looked at her. “Or do you want to wait until Abel arrives?”
“I just wanted to ask you.” Alana hesitated and said, “Did you call me last night?”
“Yes, I used Abe’s office landline,” Emmeline said calmly.
“So, you know that Abel and I were together?” Alana furrowed her brows.
“What’s the big deal? Emmeline shrugged. “Is he not allowed to have female company around him?”
“Well,” Alana sneered coldly. “Since you’re engaged, why do you care so much?”
Emmeline frowned. How did she know about this? Did Abel tell her?
