They walked through the corridor as they headed towards the hall. Along the way, Lizbeth held ontoAdrien’s arm while he held her by the waist. Luca found the scene to be unbearable as he wasfollowing behind them.
As they entered the hall, Oscar was sitting on the sofa. Abel was stunned as he noticed that Evelynwas standing beside Oscar. He frowned as he felt uncomfortable. It appeared that Evelyn left thePrecipice and made her way here.
“Mr. Abel, you’re here,” Evelyn said with a smile. Abel nodded and greeted Oscar. “Have a seat. She’sPaul’s daughter. Have you two met?” Oscar asked. Abel nodded. “We’ve known each other for quite awhile now. I would like to make an apology today,” Evelyn said.
“Apologize? Why?” Oscar asked. “I’ve bothered Mr. Abel back at the Precipice, so I would like toapologize,” Evelyn answered. Oscar glanced at Abel and said, “There’s no need to apologize. Youshould bother him more and get him to smile. Just look at his gloomy face.”
“I’m incapable of doing so. I’m grateful that Mr. Abel didn’t ask me to leave,” Evelyn muttered. “Ask youto leave? I dare him to do that,” Oscar uttered as he placed his teacup down. “Grandad, if there’snothing of importance then I shall take my leave now. There’s a lot of work back at the group,” Abelsaid.
“Leave your work behind. I asked you to come here for lunch,” Oscar said. “It’ll be better for me to havelunch back at the group,” Abel replied. “Are you trying to go against my orders? What happened toEmmeline? You should fill us in on the situation,” Oscar said.
“Abel, you never told us anything about it. What’s her condition right now?” Adrien asked. “That’s right.What happened to her?” Lizbeth added. “It doesn’t matter. Let the past stay in the past. It’s time forlunch,” Abel said.
Everyone was flabbergasted. Oscar wanted an answer but Abel had made his way to the dining hall.He wanted to get it over with and leave. All he could think about was work. Evelyn found his colddemeanor attractive.
“It’s getting late. Go ahead and have lunch everyone,” Oscar said as he waved. Adrien held Lizbeth’shand as he led her to the dining hall. Evelyn caught up to Abel and said, “I’ve prepared the dishestoday. I can make some more if you’d like.”
