Chapter 504
“XO?” Abel asked her.
“Sure, XO.” Emmeline snapped her fingers crisply.
Abel called over the waiter and placed their order.
As the waiter left, the bartender approached their table with their drinks, kneeling down to mix them.
A rock singer on the stage belted out a song, shaking the room with its booming sound.
Abel frowned.
The noise was unbearable, he thought to himself.
“Mr. Ryker,” Emmeline said playfully, her face full of mischief, “how about I sing for you instead?”
“You can sing?” Abel squinted at her, finding this “little bro” increasingly intriguing.
“At school, I used to sing all the time,” Emmeline replied. “I was the star of the show.”
“Well, give it a shot,” Abel encouraged her with a grin.
Emmeline took a sip of the cocktail the bartender had just made and walked over to the stage.
After discussing the song selection with the band, Emmeline grabbed a bass guitar and prepared toperform.
As the music started playing, Emmeline belted out the lyrics with abandon.
“You took my hand, you showed me how…”
“…You promised me you’d be around…”
“I took your words, and I believed…”
Abel was taken aback by her song choice.
It was the famous song of Pink.
Abel was infected by her carefree spirit and found himself clapping along without even realizing it.
“If someone said three years from now……” the crowd in the hall sang along, “……You’d be longgone…..”
As the song ended, the entire hall erupted in cheers.
Emmeline blushed and returned to Abel’s side, amidst the neon lights.
“Mr. Ryker, how was it? Did I sing well?”
“It was amazing, even beyond my expectations!” Abel handed her a drink and chuckled, “You lookhandsome and pretty, like Pink in her androgynous style.”novelbin
“Ha!” Emmeline spurted out her drink.
She hadn’t expected Abel to say that, as if he had just exposed her.
“Mr. Ryker, I’m a pure man, pure as milk.”
Abel also burst out laughing, “Why are you panicking? I didn’t say you were a eunuch.”
Emmeline was embarrassed, and then a clear voice suddenly came from behind, “Are there eunuchshere?”
Abel looked up, and Emmeline turned around.
They saw that Adam had come over at some point.
Abel’s sword-like eyebrows furrowed.
He was starting to dislike Adam more and more.
This brooding man always made him feel uneasy and on edge.
“Abel,” Adam said with a faint smile, “won’t you offer me a drink?”
“Sit!” Abel replied coldly and distantly.
Adam didn’t hesitate to sit next to Emmeline.
Emmeline quickly shifted to the side to make room for him.
“Hey little brother,” Adam reached out and pinched Emmeline’s cheek, “you sing well, and you look sohandsome. Your face is so smooth and androgynous, I can’t even tell if you’re a boy or a girl. It makesmy heart skip a beat.”

“He’s just a kid, Adam. Don’t scare him.”
“But I like this kind of kid,” Adam pointed to Emmeline’s little mustache, “look, our style is quite similar.”
“He’s just here to have fun with me,” Abel said, “he doesn’t know anything. Adam, you need to be moresensible.”
“Hehe,” Adam sneered, “look at how tightly you’re protecting him. Is this a new flavor for you?”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Abel spoke coldly, “he’s just a little brother I just met.”
“Who are you fooling?” Adam said, “Would you hold your brother so tightly like this?”
“This is my business,” Abel held Emmeline even tighter and said to Adam, “Don’t you want to quarrelwith me here, Adam?”
Adam snickered and remained silent.
He was afraid of fighting with Abel here, even though the Imperial Palace was his territory, and hispeople were everywhere. He couldn’t afford to expose his identity by getting into a fight.
“Forget it,” Adam waved his hand and said, “I didn’t expect you to be so petty, Abel!”
“No need to see you out!” Abel coldly issued the order to leave.
