Chapter 318
“That’s a pity.” Lizbeth pouted.
“Maybe next time then.” Flynn was optimistic.
“Let me host today,” Abel said. “You both traveled far after all. You’re the guests here.”
“We’ll take your kind offer then.” Flynn was more than open to the suggestion.
Abel then made reservations for a private room at the Nimbus Hotel and went there with the siblingduo.
…
Adrien was doing somersaults on his bed in excitement once Emmeline left the Ryker Hospital.novelbin
He could barely calm himself until his wound began to throb in pain.
Emmeline was allowing him to propose to her. It was a happy occasion for him!
He had to thank Adam for creating the opportunity for this to happen.
It was Adam’s repeated use of heroic schemes which allowed him to successfully impress the woman.
It was a tried and true method throughout the ages after all!
Adrien gave his brother a call.
Adam sounded impatient the moment the call connected. ‘What is it this time, Adrien? Can you stopgoing around giving me heart attacks?”
“Adam,” Adrien started, tone happy. “I’m not calling to worry you this time. I wanted to invite you out fordrinks!”
“Drinks? What for?” Adam launched into a tirade. “You’re injured. You can’t drink!”
“I know,” Adrien said. “You can drink even if I can’t.”
“Alright, what’s got you this happy? You’re eager to spill the beans.”
“It’s Em.”
Emmeline was allowing him to propose to her. The news was more than enough for him to be over themoon!
How many could be bestowed such an honor?
Go try to get her to say yes? She’d sooner shove you aside.
“She said yes, Adam. I can ask for her hand in marriage once I recover!”
…Damn it! Adrien, that lucky bastard!
Why didn’t Em extend that same courtesy to me?
She could’ve propositioned Abel instead as well.
She, at least, loves Abel. So, why this idiot?
Is she saying Abel can’t compare to Adrien?!
Hahaha, fortune sure likes to favor the fools!
Adam suddenly envied Adrien. He envied him so much it hurt.
“This is something worth celebrating,” Adam said. “Where are you planning on getting those drinksfrom?”
“Nimbus, of course,” Adrien answered. “Nimbus is my haunt. I want everyone there to know the goodnews!”
“Sounds good. Nimbus it is then. I’ll be right there once I get changed.”
“Cool. I’ll get changed too.”
“I’ll see you in a bit.”
“See you, Adam.”
Adam ended the call.
He was just thinking about what color he should wear when his phone began to ring.
It was Alana.
Restless impatience washed over him.
What is this b*tch cooking up this time?!
He didn’t want to pick up her call but he had to know what she was up to.
What if it had something to do with him?
They were far too closely involved with one another.
He answered the call.
“Mr. Adam,” Alana started. “I have news. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad.”
“Cut the cr*p.” He frowned. “Get to the point.”
“Emmeline is allowing Adrien to pursue her hand in marriage,” she said.
“That’s a good thing. A woman as good as her shouldn’t be with Abel!”
“What about me?” His phrasing displeased her. “What if I married Abel?”
“I already told you. You’re the bearer of ill luck that ruins him!”
