Chapter 170


    Everyone turned their head toward the door. It was Benjamin.


    Coincidentally, he was also


    holding a bouquet of roses in his hands.


    However, the roses in his bouquet were blue.


    Benjamin and Abel stared at each other, secretly shocked at what the other party was holding.


    Abel thought, What? I didn’t know there were blue roses! They look so otherworldly. My roses seem


    cheap and tacky inparison!

    Benjamin thought, Wow, that’s such a big bouquet! I’m sure Abel is here to dere his love for Ms.


    Louise!


    Emmeline felt so awkward looking at the two men.


    What’s wrong with them today?


    After stafing at each other for a while, Abel and Benjamin smiled diplomatically.


    “You first, Mr. Ryker,” Benjamin said.


    “Never mind,” Abel said. “The florist was giving these out for free anyway, so I took a bunch. You


    should go first.”


    Benjamin was speechless. Which florist would give out so many


    roses for free? You can’t lie to save your life, Abel!


    Abel turned his head and spoke to Sam. “Sam, put the flowers


    Bomewhere. If there’s no suitable ce, you can throw them away.”


    He ced the bouquet at the counter and left through the ss door.


    Benjamin watched him cross the road without looking back before saying, “Emma, was I interrupting


    something?”


    “No.” Emmeline forced a smile, though she felt disappointed.


    Couldn’t you havee in two secondster? I want to know what


    Abel wanted to say to me!


    Emmeline nced at the bouquet


    on the counter. It had lost its meaning.


    “Find a vase for those flowers,


    Sam. It’s such a waste to throw them away.”


    “Yeah, Ms. Louisé. That’s a lot of flowers!” Sam said while ring at Benjamin.


    She also wanted to know what Abel intended to tell Emmeline.


    “I… I didn’t mean to interrupt, Ms. Louise.” Benjamin was pretty upset by what he did. He rushed over


    to the café as soon as he received the bouquet because he wanted to see Emmeline being happy.


    It turned out he had ruined a moment, and he wanted to p himself for that.


    “You won’t buy flowers for me,” Emmeline said, “So what’s the


    story with the blue roses?”


    “Huh? I thought you knew. Didn’t you tell Janie to do that?” Benjamin said.


    “Janie? Janie Eastwood?”


    “That’s her,” Benjamin said. “She brought lunch for me from home, and she also gave me this


    bouquet.”


    “I see, I was wondering why it’s blue,” Emmeline said. “So it’s supposed to be for you.”


    “What’s going to happen now though? Benjamin said. “I’m sure Mr. Ryker has misunderstood the


    situation.”


    “Never mind,” Emmeline waved her hand dismissively. “There’s


    nothing much to talk about between us anyway. You came just in time.”


    Sigh, how should Ifort Ms. Louise? Benjamin thought.


    Abel returned to the parking lot across the street. Luca quickly stepped out of the side passenger door


    and opened the back door for him.


    He did not see what happened in the café because he was catching forty winks. He had not slept since


    last night because he had been staking out at the café with Abel.


    Luca noticed that Abel seemed displeased. His expression was as dark as a stormy night.


    He wondered what had transpired earlier.


    What happened to the big bouquet? Did Emmeline throw it out of the door?


    Luca Could imagine the busy traffic trampling mercilessly over the flowers.


    As soon as Abel sat down, he said coldly, “Drive.”


    Luca paused for a second and asked, “Where do you want to go, Mr. Ryker?”


    “Back to my office,” Abel said. He closed his eyes and rested his head on the seat. “There’s still a lot of


    work to do.”


    In other words, he did not want to waste his time here.
