Evelyn's vision blurred and she almost stumbled again. Gasping for breath, she grasped onto the door frame and snapped, "You little brat, you better shut your mouth!" "Auntie, did I say something wrong?" Emmeline exaggeratedly shut her mouth. "I-I'm not going to argue with you anymore, you've really upset me!" Tears streamed down Evelyn's face. "Auntie, don't be mad, wrinkles will form!" Emmeline pleaded. "Get lost!" Evelyn sniffled and turned to run upstairs. "Mr. Ryker," Emmeline innocently turned to Abel, "did I make Auntie angry?" "Don't mind her," Abel said. "Women can be petty sometimes. " "Exactly, petty!" Emmeline puffed out her cheeks. Abel had cooked a four-course meal and soup, and the "brothers" were dining in the restaurant. The familiar taste of the food made Emmeline's eyes water. She couldn't help but sniffle. "What's wrong, Emmett?" Abel served her a dish. "Why are you crying over a meal?" "Mr. Ryker's cooking is just so good," Emmeline choked up. "It reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. " "The taste of your grandmother's cooking?" Abel's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't know he had that kind of power. "Mr. Ryker, don't get me wrong," Emmeline said. "When I was a kid, my parents were busy, so I grew up with my grandmother. The food she made tasted just as good as yours. " "I see," Abel said, serving her another dish. "You scared me for a moment there. " "But what about Auntie Evelyn?" Emmeline said. "She's still hungry. " "Don't worry about her," Abel said. "We have a chef here. " After finishing their meal, Emmeline and Abel sat on the living room sofa and talked. Evelyn slowly came downstairs

She keeps celling me Auntie!" Evelyn walked to the couch, feeling quite sad. She had wanted to sit here and chat with Abel. But Abel had been wooed away by "Emmett" again. "Auntie," Emmeline said with a grin, "you must be hungry. Go grab something to eat. " "I don't need you to tell me what to do!" Evelyn rolled her eyes at her. "Come on," Emmeline teased her. "Not eating is bad for your health, and it'll make your skin age faster. No man will want you if you don't take care of yourself. " Evelyn was about to be infuriated again. "Anyway, with your looks, it's so difficult that even the security guard won't give you a second glance," Emmeline continued. "Thump, thump, thump," Evelyn took a few steps back and sat down on the sofa. "Auntie, you can't fight against aging," Emmeline continued, "Your old arms and legs are useless. " "You little brat!" Evelyn couldn't stand it anymore, she stood up with her hands on her hips and roared, "If you keep on insulting me, I'll tear you apart!" At that moment, Abel came downstairs in his suit. Ryker, is this old hag going to eat people?" Emmeline said playfully. "Ms. Evelyn," Abel frowned and said to Evelyn, "Emmett is my guest, so please be mindful of your words. " "But she. " Evelyn pointed at Emmeline, still fuming, "Do I look that old? She keeps calling me Auntie!"
