Sonia instinctively touched her face, which was now filled with an anxious look.
“But Abel, I recognize you immediately. It has been five years, and you’re back from overseas, right?How have you been?”
“I am sorry,” Abel maintained his indifference, “My wife and I still have some matters to attend to.Excuse me.”
Then, he pulled Emmeline into his embrace and they both brushed past Sonia as they made their wayinto the shop.
Sonia stared at his back, “Abel…”
However, Abel was already gone with Emmeline in his arms. He did not even turn around as hedisappeared around the corner.
“Miss,” Erin asked Sonia, “Are you friends with Mr. Abel?”
Sonia turned around and Erin saw that tears had welled up in her eyes.
In an instant, her face changed as she assumed an arrogant, cold look, “Do you have any businesswith me?”
“Don’t misunderstand,” Erin smiled, “I am friends with Abel and her wife. You can come to me if youhave something you want to learn about.” novelbin

“You mean… your ex-girlfriend?” Emmeline tilted her head at him.
Abel stopped in his tracks and met her eyes, “Do you have a first love?”
“First… love?” Emmeline was wordless for a few seconds as she was seemingly scouring her brain forthe answer, “I had a boyfriend in high school.”
“What happened afterward?”
“What do you mean? We broke up, of course. Or else, I wouldn’t be with you now, would I?”
“You’re right about that,” Abel put his hand around her waist and they continued to walk, “My answer isthe same as yours.”
“What?” Emmeline gasped, “Abel, so that’s your first love just now?”

Emmeline flicked her hair and said, “Of course not! I am just curious about your past.”
“Really?” Abel could not help but smile, “You are interested in something like that, huh.”
“So what if I am curious?”
“There’s nothing to be curious about,” Abel snorted, “I don’t even remember her.”
In fact, he was telling the truth. He did not recognize her just now.
By the time her name sprang to mind, all he felt was a desolate sense of indifference.
He really did not want Emmeline to feel jealous in any capacity at all.
The thing was, back in his university days, Sonia was the one having a crush on him.
He was not really attracted to her, so he was able to get out of the relationship easily.
It was his grandfather’s idea for him to be in a relationship back then. It was almost business-like.
The Steiner family was an influential family in all of Struyria. The Rykers simply had a businessrelationship with them.
As one of the largest families around, the Rykers of course knew that by garnering the favor of thosefrom the Steiner family, it could only do them a lot of good.
Later on, Abel was dispatched overseas to carry out secret training. It was then that Abel cut off herties with Sonia.
They did not even have any lingering history from that point onward.
“But…” Emmeline was not satisfied, “Didn’t you notice that that woman just now had a special look in
her eyes when he was staring at you?”
“What’s so special about it?” Abel could not be bothered.
“This is a woman’s gut feeling,” Emmeline explained, “Her eyes told me the real story. She still hasfeelings for you!”
Abel rubbed her head playfully and said, “Can you let your imagination rest for even a minute?’
“Anyway, you should keep some distance between you and that woman. Or else, your old flame wouldreignite, and I won’t forgive you if you get back together with her!”
“This is so funny!” Abel did not know whether to laugh or cry, “I was never in love even back then, letalone now!”
“But my sense of danger is tingling,” Emmeline’s eyes were quirky, “That woman still longs for you. Themost dangerous thing is not that she would steal you from me, rather, you should be most wary whenshe still wants you for herself!”
