Chapter 314 Cold Shoulder

After a brief pause, Abel replied, “I came here to see Adrien.”

Alana inquired, “Oh, is Adrien feeling better?”

Abel nodded, “Hmm, he’s much better now.”

Alana said, “I heard Emmeline visited him, and she bought Adrien desserts. Adrien asked Emmeline tofeed him. She seemed to have fed Adrien the dessert. They were laughing, and they appeared to behaving a great time.”

After a moment of silence, Abel smiled faintly and said, “Really?”

Alana said, “Yeah, I was just taking a walk in the hallway and heard them clearly. Adrien even jokedthat no matter how sweet the dessert, it’s not as sweet as Emma’s lips. He said, “A kiss from her tastessweeter than honey”.”

Abel’s demeanor changed, he appeared dispirited.novelbin

Are Emma and Adrien really this close? There’s no surprise there, given that they have childrentogether.

When Alana noticed Abel’s dejected expression, she sneered and continued, “Emmeline has been veryworried about Adrien lately. Maybe she will drop by soon.”

Alana kept adding oil to the flames. She wanted Abel’s jealousy and anger to burn fiercely so thatseeing Emmeline would make him angry.

As expected, Abel grew more upset. He said, “Well, I should probably head out at this point. I’ve workto do at the office.”

He strode out of the room and flung open the door before Alana’s response. He happened to seeEmmeline arrive, and she was about to open Adrien’s door.

As one of them entered Adrien’s room, the other was leaving Alana’s room. They both froze at thedoor.

Abel then moved swiftly past Emmeline’s shoulder. As he stepped into the elevator, he exuded an icycoldness. His expression was indifferent and cold, as if he had not noticed her.

After Abel entered the elevator, Emmeline finally turned around and peered at the elevator.

Has Abel just left Alana’s room? He treated me like a stranger and had an icy aura about him. He justleaves without saying a word to me. Am I invisible to him?

Emmeline fixed her gaze on the elevator doors. She felt hurt, sad, and angry. She wanted to destroythe elevator so she could drag Abel outside and beat him mercilessly.

Whether I’m interested in you or not, you can’t treat me this way! What the hell?

Emmeline shot a vicious glare at the closed elevator doors before she pushed the door open.

When Adrien saw Emmeline again, he leaped out of bed with joy. This time, he did not receive an IV.Emmeline did not hold him down, instead, she let him jump.

“Emma, you have come to see me again! Oh my god, I’m so happy!”

“Here are some new desserts I just bought. They’re different from last time. Give them a try.”

Emmeline set the desserts on the bedside table while she suppressed her frustration.

Adrien was overjoyed. He hugged Emmeline tightly.

Emmeline was startled, and she shouted at him, “Hey, Adrien, what are you doing!”

Adrien lifted Emmeline into the air and stated, “I’m going to lift you up and lift you high.”

Emmeline blushed and threatened, “Put me down. I’ll get angry if you don’t behave!”

“Please don’t be mad at me. Don’t be angry.”

Emmeline was quickly set down by Adrien. His expression was one of indulgence and joy.

“I’m so happy. It’s worthwhile to take that bullet!”

Emmeline sternly reprimanded, “Don’t say that. I don’t want you to get shot, no matter how bad youare.”

Even Alana, who lived next door, shouldn’t get shot, no matter how bad she was.

Adrien chuckled and said, “Emma, I’m not a bad guy; I’m just simple-minded. When I was younger,Adam or Abel would tease me, but I never got back at them because I couldn’t outsmart them, haha.”

Emmeline could not help but burst into laughter too.

I’m beginning to think Adrien is really cute. This man is naive, that much is true. He could be the kind ofsimpleton that resembles a husky.

Emmeline thought about this. She began to visualize a husky with Adrien’s head.

“Hahaha,” Emmeline couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
