Chapter 163 Acting On Desires

Minutes later, the balcony light was turned on. Abel could see Emmeline vaguely through the hedge.She was watering the plants.

He smiled gazing at her through the hedge. She looked beautiful tonight. After watering the plants, shebent to sniff a flower. He could not tell her expression, but he was quite sure she had smiled. Everyoneloved flowers.

Abel wondered if she knew he had built the little garden for her. He felt bitter and sighed. The momenthe looked up again, she was gone. Had she gone downstairs? He would not be able to see her if shehad gone downstairs. He should not have looked away just now.

At the same time, he heard the sound of someone using the swing in the garden. He was relieved tofind Emmeline using the swing. He then wondered if she knew he had built the swing as well.

It was comforting to hear her using the swing. It felt as though she was in his arms. His heart ached alittle. Emma, have you ever loved me?

Eventually, the sound stopped, but Emmeline did not go downstairs. Abel could not see what she wasdoing, but he guessed she had fallen asleep on the swing.

He frowned. It was late and getting cold. She could fall sick sitting out like that. However, he had noway to reach out to her. They had blocked and unfollowed each other both on social media and phonecontact lists.

The longer he sat in his car seeing no movement from the swing, the more worried he got. She hadindeed fallen asleep on the swing.

Abel got out of the car and threw the cigarette he was smoking. Luca got out of the bodyguard’s car aswell. All eight bodyguards followed him out of the car.

“What are you doing?” Abel glared at them, “Are you trying to get everyone’s attention?”

“No, we only want to keep you safe,” said Luca. He asked, “What are you doing out, Mr. Abel?”

Abel glanced at the bodyguards and said, “You guys get back into the car. Luca, follow me.”

As the bodyguards returned to the car, Luca followed Abel to the entrance of the cafe. Abel did notknock. Instead, he was studying the garage. It was added on later on, and the wall was not very tall.

Abel thought for a moment and began to run toward the garage. He swiftly climbed onto the roof of thegarage. Luca realized Abel was going to climb into the house.

Luca was about to get onto the roof as well when Abel stopped him. “You don’t have to get up here.Just stay there.” Luca immediately stopped right in front of the garage.

Abel took a glance around the roof. There was not a soul in sight, and there was no surveillancecamera as well. He moved toward the window and climbed into the room.

“Good job!” Luca cheered for Abel as he watched him beneath. He was impressed that Abel moved soskillfully. He also understood by now the reason Abel asked him to stay there. It was Emmeline’sbedroom Abel was entering.

Abel climbed into Emmeline’s brightly-lit bedroom and immediately took a blanket before movingtoward the balcony. He found Emmeline asleep on the swing.

She was curling up like a cat because she was feeling cold. Abel gently covered her with the blanket.She stirred slightly.novelbin

He was worried she would wake up to see him there, so he quickly hid behind a plant. However, shedid not wake up. She murmured in her sleep, “Abel…”
