Chapter 760 The Poison Almost Takes Effect

Emmeline was so comfortable when warm water was poured over her body.

Having a peaceful shower was a luxury for Emmeline while she was living at the Imperial Palace. Who could predict when that pervert barged into the shower?

Emmeline felt refreshed after taking a shower. However, she realized she had forgotten to bring her nightgown. She wrapped herself in a towel and planned to get her nightgown from the closet. After she took two steps forward, the towel that wrapped around her body loosened and fell to the floor.

Emmeline did not feel like wrapping the towel around her body after picking it up. She let it be. She extended her hand and moved naked in the direction of the walk-in closet. "Creak."

Abel entered the room at this time carrying a tray of beef and bone kasha. At first glance, he saw Emmeline's glowing skin and seductive body. He could see every curve she had.

Abel was so shocked that he nearly dropped the tray. He quickly averted his eyes, but he was beginning to feel something. The next instant, he experienced a sudden, severe abdominal pain that felt like a pair of scissors were twisted inside his stomach.

"Ouch!" Abel let out a low cry.

Emmeline was startled and hastily covered her private parts. She asked, "Who is there?"

Abel worried about her because of her terrified appearance. As quickly as it had surfaced, his desire subsided.

Abel said, "It's me, Emma. I made Kasha for you."

Emmeline crouched down and said, "Oh! I thought we were still at the Imperial Palace."

Abel felt sorry for her. He put down the tray and said, "Did I scare you? Do you want to go to the walk-in closet?"

"I took a shower and forgot to bring my nightgown."

"Why didn't you wait for me to help you take a shower?"

"I can do it by myself."

"What if you slipped and fell? That would be a problem."

Abel went to the closet, took out Emmeline's nightgown, and helped her put it on. Then he carried her to bed and tucked her in. He urged, "Be careful not to catch a cold. You need to warm up your body for now."

Emmeline caught a whiff of stewed beef and Kasha. She smiled and curled her eyes. She said, "It smells wonderful. It smells like home."

Abel pinched her nose and said, "You can eat now. You look like a greedy kitten."

Emmeline blinked her hazy eyes and mocked herself, "It's a stray cat that found a home."

"I'll go and check on the ravioli."

Once more, Abel went downstairs. It felt so good to have his sweetheart back; he was happy to take care of her. When the ravioli were ready, Abel brought them up on a plate.

Emmeline sat impatiently by the bedside after donning her nightgown. As soon as the door opened, she exclaimed. "I can smell the ravioli! I could finish the entire plate!"

Abel chuckled and said, "I'll feed you all of this. I'll make more if it isn't enough."

Emmeline rubbed her hands and said, "Let's start with these. Come on!"

"Argh..."

She opened her mouth wide in her eagerness to eat.

"You must be starving!"

Abel felt both amused and heartbroken. He pulled up a chair, sat down, and fed her a spoonful of Kasha.

"Gulp." Emmeline said, swallowing the food.

Abel frowned and urged, "Slow down. It's hot."

Emmeline said. "I'm starving. I could eat the whole bowl."

"No rush; take your time."

Emmeline started to sip slowly.

"Is it good?" Abel asked.

Emmeline nodded with satisfaction, saying, "It's delicious, it's your touch."

Abel was puzzled, and he asked, "My touch? Is the Kasha you cook different from the one I cook?"

Emmeline commented, "You added a little more seasoning. Since I use a little less, yours tastes richer and mine is lighter."

Abel suddenly understood and said, "Oh, so there's the husband's flavor and the wife's flavor."

Emmeline said, "The kids like mommy's flavor; they favor lighter tastes."

Abel said, "No matter whose flavor it is, you need to behave nicely and finish it all."

"Of course! Hmmm..."

Emmeline opened her mouth wide, like a little bird.
