Abel held up the bowl of soup and stirred it about with the spoon. Emmeline said, "I can feed myself. You don't have to do it for me all the time. " Abel denied, "You're my wife. Of course I need to take care of you. Just sit back and let your dear husband pamper you. " "You'll spoil me rotten," Emmeline said playfully. Abel said, "So what if I do? My wife deserves to be spoiled. " Emmeline teased, "Since when did you get so glib? What happened to the stone-faced devil Abel Ryker?" "I'm still a stone-faced devil when it comes to other people. But in front of you, I'm nothing more than a lovestruck man. " Emmeline couldn't help breaking into laughter. Abel was happy to see that she was laughing heartily as well. He leaned in and gave her cheek a peck. "Be a good girl and get better soon. I'm constantly feeling the urge to do it. It's unbearable…" Emmeline's face was instantly flushed red.

After checking himself in the mirror a dozen times, he finally walked out with a pep in his step and entered the elevator. Not long after, Abel finished his meeting and came out. He also wanted Luca to go buy two cups of coffee from Nightfall Cafe. However, Luca was nowhere to be found in the assistant's office. Abel took out his phone as he walked back to the CEO's office, intending to give Luca a call. He mumbled to himself, "Where the heck did he go without telling me? I swear!"
