Chapter 521 The Familiar Stranger
"Right," Abel said. "She's a single mother, and I don't want them to suffer."
"Same here," Emmeline's voice caught. "If it were me, I would do the same."
"I once had a woman," Abel said ruefully. "She suffered with my child, but I wasn't there for them. So, taking care of Kendra is, in a way, me making up for my own guilt."
As soon as he spoke, Emmeline froze. Abel, did he still have feelings for her?
"Mr. Ryker," Emmeline shook his arm excitedly. "What about that woman of yours? Why isn't she with you?"
Abel gave a wistful smile. "Let's not talk about her. It's all in the past."
It's all in the past?
Emmeline's feet faltered.
The hope that had just risen was extinguished by his words.
Has she become a thing of the past for Abel?
She thought he had brought up the subject because of his feelings for her, but it turned out he was only remembering the past.
A tear fell from Emmeline's eye with a soft "click."
Abel happened to catch sight of her tears and asked with concern, "Emmett, why are you crying when everything is fine?"
"I..." Emmeline sniffled. "When you mentioned your woman and child suffering, I felt sorry for them."
"So I wanted to compensate her with marriage," Abel said, "but she was lost and I couldn't do anything about it."
Sniffle, Emmeline couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
Abel, I'm right in front of you, but I've become the most familiar stranger to you.
"Right," Abel soid. "She's o single mother, ond I don't wont them to suffer."
