Chapter 127 Break Up

Emmeline was surprised at first, but then she smirked. "Are you crazy, Abel? What do you mean by a new lover?"

"Isn't he your new lover?" Abel pointed at Benjamin. "It's only been a few days, but you're already so intimate with him!"

Emmeline was furious. "Intimate my *ss! If you can be Alana's husband, why can't I have a boyfriend?"

Abel was surprised. "What did you say?"

"The truth is plain for all to see," Emmeline said. "You and Alana have Timothy, and you owe her your life. I think that's all that needs to be said. All I want is to replace a man without any baggage so I can date him without any drama. Is that too much to ask for?"

So you're saying that I have a lot of baggage? Abel thought.

But I'm trying my best to solve all those problems! Why can't you be a little more patient?

Moreover, you have three children with Adrien too, but I didn't mind it!

"It looks like I've been mistaken, Emmeline. I didn't expect you to be like this!" Abel said sullenly.

Emmeline did not say anything.

Abel turned around. As he went down the stairs, he took out his phone and deleted Emmeline's contact.

By the time he reached the first floor, he felt that he and Emmeline were nothing more than strangers.

"Abel Ryker!" Emmeline roared angrily from the balcony. "Remember to come back here and take your belongings. I'll refund you your rent!"

Bang! Abel slammed the door behind him.

In a short while, the Rolls-Royce Ghost sped away loudly from the parking lot.

Tears poured down Emmeline's cheeks.

How could he possibly behave like that when he's so much in the wrong?

Early morning the next day, Benjamin came to the café to bring the triplets to school.

He was worried that Emmeline might lose her way because her mind was still occupied by anger.

When he returned from the kindergarten, he saw Emmeline in the kitchen making breakfast. "Ms. Louise!" Benjamin was pleasantly surprised. "How did you know I haven't had breakfast yet?" "I wouldn't know," Emmeline replied without turning her head. "I'm making this for myself." "Where's Daisy?" Benjamin looked at the other rooms.

"She's at the grocery store," Emmeline said. "I was hungry, so I'm making some food for myself."

"Can you make some for me too?" Benjamin asked.

Emmeline felt a twinge in her nose.

Usually, she would make an extra portion for Abel.

But Abel should be with Alana by now.

She sniffled, which prompted Benjamin to come close to her and look at her.

Emmeline turned toward him and smiled. "Why? Did you think I'm crying?"

"It's normal to cry after a breakup," Benjamin said as he snapped a pickled gherkin in half and ate it.

"I'm not so sentimental," Emmeline pouted and said. "I'll forget everything after breakfast."

"I don't believe it. I remember I had to comfort someone yesterday because she couldn't stop crying!" Benjamin said.

"Don't mention that!" Emmeline waved a spoon at him.

"Fine, I lose." Benjamin sat at the table and prepared to eat.

Emmeline made a burger for each of them.

Suddenly, her phone began to ring.

Emmeline was confused when she looked at the screen.

Why is Ethan calling me so early in the morning? Could there be an emergency?

"Ethan," Emmeline said after picking up the call.

"Emma!" Ethan sounded anxious. "Father passed out! He was sent to the hospital earlier, and the doctor suspects that he had a stroke!" Emmeline nearly choked on her food.

She swallowed the food in her mouth and asked, "Where is he? I'll go over now."

"City Hospital. Come quickly!"

"I know." Emmeline ended the call and stood up.

Even though she hated her father for kicking her out of the household five years ago, she could not help but feel sorry for him.

"Come to the hospital with me," Emmeline said to Benjamin. "Bring the Five-Elements Needles along too."

"Yes." Benjamin went to the study to retrieve the briefcase of needles and Emmeline's jacket.

"Let's go." He draped the jacket over her and took her hand.

Her fingers were ice-cold.

Looks like she's very worried for her father.
