Chapter1441Emmeline’s Engagement.
“Emmeline?” na was surprised, and her eyes widened in astonishment.
Does she know Emmeline?
“Who are you?” asked na cautiously.
“I’m Sophia, Sophia answered. “I recognize this car; it belongs to Emmeline.”
“How do you know her?” na frowned.
“And what’s your rtionship with her?” Sophia countered.
“I am- na wondered about her rtionship with Emmeline and then blurted, Tm Emmeline’s friend,
Scarlett.”
“Emmeline’s friend, Scarlett?” Sophia looked at the Buick Regal. “No wonder you’re in this car.
“Emmeline is getting engaged,” Sophia went on. “As part of the bridal entourage, you should be helping
with the preparations.”
“Engaged?” na’s eyes widened. Emmeline is getting engaged? With Abel?
“I haven’t heard her mention it,” na probed. I didn’t even know she had a boyfriend.”
“Isn’t it Albus Zeller from Altney Steel?” enquired Sophia. The Zeller family agreed to the engagement
next month. Did I make a mistake?”
“You mean Albus?” na quickly pretended to have a sudden realization. “I know about him. I’ve met
Albus.
This sudden news made na’s heart beat faster. Emmeline was getting engaged to someone else!
This warrants a huge celebration!
na was so excited that she couldn’t think straight. Just then, she saw Abel and Dn at the
intersection, heading back toward her.
“Do you have a phone number?” na quickly asked Sophia. Let me save your number.”
Sophia gave her own number to na, and na dialed it and said urgently. “This is my number. You
can call me.
“That’s great!” Sophia eximed excitedly. “I love getting to know people with high ss like you!”
Seeing Abel about to approach, na told Sophia, “You better leave quickly. I have something to do!”
Sophia tactfully turned around and left while na returned to the back seat of the car. After dropping
off Dn at the hotel, Abel went to escort na home.
At that moment, his phone rang. It was Emmeline calling.
Abel’s heart skipped a beat as he quickly answered, “Emma?”
“Abel, have you finished your dinner with Mr. Carson?” Emmeline asked softly.
“Yeah!” he replied. “I just dropped him off at the hotel and am heading back to Altney Steel now,”

“Well–Emmeline sounded choked up for a moment. “Maybe you shouldn’te back tonight.”
Abel’s heart skipped a beat in the silence as he furrowed his brows. “Emma, what happened again?”
Emmeline sighed. “Mom caught us again and scolded me. I’m afraid that she’ll get angry at youe
back!”
He felt a heavy weight in his heart. “Why does this never end?”
“That’s why I’m so worried, she murmured. “Don’te back tonight. Come pick me up early tomorrow
morning.
“But Emma-”
“I’ll be fine.” Emmeline knew Abel was worried about her. “Don’t keep getting concerned about me, and
take care of yourself!”
“Alright.” Abel hung up the phone, feeling heavy.
“Abel, whispered na from the backseat. “Aren’t you going back to your home at Altney Steel?”
“What’s it to you?” Abel’s mood was terrible, and his tone was cold.
“It’s still early.” she suggested tentatively. “Why don’t. Why don’t I apany you for a walk?”
“There’s no need for it!” Abel said. “I have to go back to Altney Steel, even if I just remain downstairs
tonight!”
“Is it necessary?” She frowned. “Even Emmeline doesn’t want you to go back.”
“It’s none of your business!” Abel replied coldly. “Get out of the car and go back home yourself!”
na sneered but didn’t say anything, and she obediently opened the car door and got off. She
sneered in her heart.
So, the influence of that phone call is so far–reaching, huh? She met Sophia tonight, who can also be
used too!
After watching the car disappear around the corner, she hailed a taxi. “Ryker Group headquarters,
zer Street.
A few minutester, na arrived at Abel’s residence at thepany. After pushing the aluminum
alloy window open, she took off a silver lily–shaped hairpin from her head and threw it into the
bedroom. It was too light and didn’tnd on the bed but instead on the floor next to it.
“Hmph! That’s already enough.” naughed darkly.
