Chapter 164 She Asks Him To Go Away
Abel was stunned. Did Emmeline just say his name in her sleep? She was dreaming about him, wasn’tshe?
However, he was let down the next minute when Emmeline murmured, “Go away! I don’t want to seeyou again!”
He was frustrated. How could she ask him to go away? Was she that angry with him? He began to feelsorry. It’s all my fault, Emma, could you please forgive me and stop being angry?
At this moment, he heard Luca’s voice from beneath. Luca was being questioned by a cop on patrol.Luca tried to explain, “Sir, I am not trying to steal or anything, okay? I am merely looking for a place topee because I have to go now.”
“You will be fine for public urination,” the cop said curtly.
“No, sir, I have not even unzipped myself,” Luca continued to explain, but the cop was not in the moodto listen, “Cut the crap and just pay the fine. I don’t care for your excuses.”
Emmeline must have heard the noise too, as she stirred a little on the swing. Abel quietly moved awayfrom the balcony and returned to her bedroom. He watched the cop drive away before climbing out ofthe bedroom window and returning to the spot in front of the garage.
Luca immediately ran toward Abel. “Mr. Abel, you are finally back!” Abel put a finger on his lips andwhispered, “Be quiet! She could hear us from the balcony.”
Luca stopped speaking, and they quickly got back into the car. Luca showed Abel the fine he just got,“What should I do about this, Mr. Abel?”
Without saying anything, Abel took out his phone and transferred the exact fine amount to Luca.
Emmeline’s murmurs in her sleep still lingered in Abel’s mind. She was asking him to go away, and hewas boiling because of it. If she had said nothing else after saying his name in her sleep, he might havetransferred more money to Luca because he would have been thrilled.
Luca had no idea what happened on the balcony. He wasn’t even sure at first that Abel had onlytransferred to him the exact fine amount. It wasn’t like Abel at all; he used to be generous.novelbin
On the other hand, Emmeline slept like a baby covered in a blanket. She woke up feeling refreshed. Asshe saw the blanket on her, she felt touched. Her nanny Daisy was always so thoughtful.
Emmeline got up and went to the triplets’ room. She made sure they were all tucked in before returningto her bedroom.
“Mr. Abel,” seeing there was movement in Emmeline’s bedroom, Luca told Abel with a yawn, “She’sback in her room.”
“She has been sleeping out on the balcony for such a long time. Unbelievable,” Abel scowled, “Shewould have fallen sick now if I had not covered her with a blanket.”
Luca understood now that Abel had sneaked into Emmeline’s house to keep her warm. He looked atAbel with a furrowed brow, “Mr. Abel, would you consider apologizing to Ms. Louise? I am afraid thecurrent situation would do more harm to both of you.”
Abel fell silent for a moment and said, “I want to, but she is not giving me a chance to.”
“I don’t think that should stop you,” Luca seemed determined, “Even if she is not giving you a chance,you should at least try. How about waiting here tomorrow night as well?”
Abel nodded in agreement. “I am planning to be here tomorrow as well. She will catch a cold if shestays out on the swing the whole night.”
“Is it okay that I stay out of the plan tomorrow?” Luca frowned, “I don’t want to risk encountering the copagain. They may not believe my excuse the next time, and may detain me to question further instead ofjust fining me.”
“Fine, I will be here myself tomorrow,” Abel shrugged. Luca sighed and said, “Well, you could dosomething more than just wait here. I believe you built the balcony garden, right?”
“Yes, I did,” Abel raised an eyebrow, “What are you proposing?”
“You could bring the gardener and tell her the garden needs a trim. Any garden needs a trim from timeto time,” said Luca.
Abel paused briefly and smiled. “You are right. I could tell her our gardener Mateo demands to trim thegarden because it’s his job.”
