Chapter 139 I Can't Forget Abel

"I mean, as friends, of course! In our friendship, I'm the one in charge!" Benjamin hastily explained.

"Not this time. If you don't let me do what I want, I'll throw a tantrum," Emmeline said.

Benjamin sighed.

Well, I'm glad she's in good spirits again.

"Alright then, but you have to take good care of yourself. I don't want you to get hurt."

"I know. Don't worry!" Emmeline patted his shoulder. "I have three children at home. I won't risk my life!"

Benjamin spoke to the director before going back to his office.

"I'll pick you up when you're done, Emma," Benjamin said through the car window.

Emmeline waved at him, looking gallant in her knight's armor. "Mm, see you later!"

She did a good job, and the shooting ended ahead of schedule.

The director debriefed the crew, and Emmeline said goodbye to him.

"You'll be back tomorrow, right? We'll discuss your hourly rates," the director said.

Do I get paid too?

Emmeline had not considered that. She was only doing it for fun.

She also realized she had not been thinking of Abel for the past three hours.

"Of course. I'll be back tomorrow!" Emmeline waved happily at the director.

After stepping out of the director's tent, she realized it was raining heavily.

Emmeline sought cover at the "hotel" entrance and was going to give Benjamin a call.

"Emma!"

A car stopped in front of the "hotel." The window rolled down, and a head stuck out.

"Come in! I'll give you a ride!"

It was Adrien.

Emmeline was surprised.

It was the first time Emmeline had seen him since she took away his manhood.

Suddenly, she felt ashamed of herself.

She could have easily reversed Adrien's problems, but she thought she had to break his habit. After all, he was the father of the triplets, and she did not want their father to be a playboy.

"Adrien? Why are you here?"

Emmeline wanted to go to the car, but the rain was too heavy.

Adrien came out of the car with an umbrella and went up next to Emmeline.

"My company has a film shoot here. I was checking on the progress," Adrien said while shaking off droplets of rainwater on his pants. Emmeline remembered that Ryker Group was involved in show business too, and Adrien was the general manager of that subsidiary. Emmeline looked at Adrien mischievously. "Not bad, Adrien. You're finally committed to your job."

Adrien blushed. "It's all your fault!"

"Wait, why is it my fault?" Emmeline said.

"Ever since we went to the hospitol, I con't perform onymore. Whot else con I do other thon work?" Adrien soid.

Emmeline chuckled. "Looks like it wos o blessing in disguise!"

"You con't soy thot. It wos ogonizing ot first. I've only gotten used to it," Adrien soid.

"You're still young ond energetic. Who knows if you'll recover one doy?" Emmeline soid.

Adrien leoned close to Emmeline. "If I ever recover one doy, ore things still possible between us? After oll, I'm the fother of the triplets!"

Emmeline turned her heod ond looked into the roin. Abel's imoge oppeored in the distont mist.

And I thought I hod just forgotten obout him!

Adrien's words triggered Emmeline's memories ogoin.

Emmeline slowly shook her heod. "No, it's impossible."

"Why not? Won't you think of your children?"

"It's not obout thot." Emmeline frowned. "You should know why."

Adrien wos silent for o moment. "I know. You con't forget Abel."

"..." Why isn't the roin stopping?

"But Abel will morry Alono soon, ond they hove Timothy!"

"..." And the wind is so cold!

"I con woit for you," Adrien soid. "I'll woit for you until you give up on Abel ond occept me!"

"Ever since we went to the hospital, I can't perform anymore. What else can I do other than work?" Adrien said.

Emmeline chuckled. "Looks like it was a blessing in disguise!"

"You can't say that. It was agonizing at first. I've only gotten used to it," Adrien said.

"You're still young and energetic. Who knows if you'll recover one day?" Emmeline said.

Adrien leaned close to Emmeline. "If I ever recover one day, are things still possible between us? After all, I'm the father of the triplets!"

Emmeline turned her head and looked into the rain. Abel's image appeared in the distant mist.

And I thought I had just forgotten about him!

Adrien's words triggered Emmeline's memories again.

Emmeline slowly shook her head. "No, it's impossible."

"Why not? Won't you think of your children?"

"It's not about that." Emmeline frowned. "You should know why."

Adrien was silent for a moment. "I know. You can't forget Abel." "..." Why isn't the rain stopping?

"But Abel will marry Alana soon, and they have Timothy!"

"..." And the wind is so cold!

"I can wait for you," Adrien said. "I'll wait for you until you give up on Abel and accept me!"
