âI didnât know Ms. Louise hid the Worryfree drug in her suitcase. Had I known, I wouldâve thrown it away.â
Abel mumbled, âItâs not Emmaâs fault. The drug is probably her best bet if I could not find my feelings for her again.â
âBut you said that you are smitten with Ms. Louise again, so I think Mr. Waylonâs Worryfree drug might not be as effective,â Sam said.
Abel replied, âThatâs hard to say. I remember waking up from taking the drug, feeling absolutely nothing for Emma. Otherwise, Iâd have died on Adelmar Island.â
Sam looked dejected. Abel was right about it.
Luca had mentioned to Sam about Abelâs situation then.
Sigh.
Sam put all the blame on Waylon.
âI can fall in love with Emma all over again. The lightning struck me, bringing back all my emotions for Emma.â Abel kneaded his temples.
âHuh? A lightning strike?â Sam was surprised.
âYeah.â
âItâs not like we should push Ms. Louise to get struck by lightning, Mr. Abel. Itâs too risky.â
Abel said, âIâm only talking about a possibility. I might be wrong, but the lightning traveled through the umbrella and shocked me, and suddenly I realized I had been worried and missing Emma like crazy. I donât want to lose her. It might just be a coincidence.â
Sam rejected the idea without thinking twice. âCoincidence or not, I canât let any lightning strike Ms.
Louise or Master Adelmar will kill me.â
âI wonât take any chances with Emma either. I will only love her and hopefully, my emotions will touch her to accept and love me again.â Abel looked miserable.
âOh, you poor lovers. Itâs in your hands whether your story with her will go on.â Sam teared up.
âMy concern isâ¦â
Abel looked straight at Sam. âWill Emma fall in love with Benjamin? Benjamin has the advantage since he gets to hang around with her!â
âUmâ¦â Sam could not give a straight answer.
Benjamin always had a soft spot for Emmeline.
What if Emmeline developed feelings for Benjamin while her relationship with Abel was on a break?
âSam, do me a favor please,â Abel anxiously cried.
âDonât be a stranger, Mr. Abel. Let me know how I can help.â
Abel responded, âYou must tell me whenever Benjamin shows up. It doesnât matter where or when. I donât want Emma to be with him.â
âDonât worry, Mr. Abel. You and Ms. Louise have four children together. You got my vote.â Sam nodded her head.
âThatâs great. Feel free to contact me anytime if and when Benjamin gets close to Emma. I will send Luca here to thank you.â
Amid her surprise, a suspicious blush crept onto Samâs ears.
âDonât mention it, Mr. Abel. I donât need your thanks and Luca.â
âI hope you can be my inside person.â
âRelax. I will.â
The following morning, Emmeline got out of bed, humming a tune; washed up, humming a tune; and entered the kitchen, humming a tune.
She made herself something rich and delicious.
It took a single night for her to stop dwelling on her emotional problems, and now she was full of life again.
Love was a powerful and all-consuming force that could lead to pain and even death.
Hahaha! She felt a burden of emotions lifted from her shoulders, and life was good.
âMs. Louise, you look happy.â Sam drew close.
âWhy shouldnât I be happy?â Emmeline blinked in surprise.
Sam pouted her lips. There was a reason to be unhappy.
Abel was unhappy.
Folding his arms, Abel leaned against the kitchen door frame.
He cocked his head to look at the heartless woman. Now that she suddenly had no feelings for him, she looked as chirpy as a bird.
âAre you making breakfast, Ms. Louise? What do you fancy having? I will make it for you both.â Sam rolled up her sleeves.
âUs both? Who are us?â Emmeline blinked again.
âYou and Mr. Abel. I doubt Mr. Abel had his breakfast yet,â Sam answered.
