Chapter 1407 Precious Little Sister

“Scott’s daughter, Luca interjected. “I didn’t expect her to be so capable!”

“Scott is clearly trying to gain favor with you. You should be aware of his intentions,” Benjamin

cautioned Abel.

“Do you think Scott is trying to keep an eye on you, Abel?” Tony questioned. “What kind of job did Scott

assign his daughter to?”

“Financial manager, Abel replied calmly. “But I didn’t accept.”

“Financial manager?” Tony took a sharp breath. “That’s quite an ambitious move. Abel, you better find

the right balance and handle this carefully!”

Abel nodded. “I know. I won’t let them lead me by the nose!”

In an instant, he noticed that Emmeline seemed a bit at a loss.

He had always taken care of her, but today, she wanted to do something for him, yet she didn’t know

where to start.

Feeling a pang in his heart, Abel gently rubbed her head. “Be good. I don’t need you to work. Just stay

here and watch.”

Emmeline smiled weakly. “Am I really clumsy?”

“You’re not clumsy,” he reassured her. “You can do things that others can’t.

At that moment. Alana returned with a clean cloth.

Luca went over to help her. “I didn’t expect you to be so skilled at housework.”

She smiled. “Household chores can’t defeat me. I’ve been doing them since I was little.”

He glanced at her. “Your accent doesn’t sound like you grew up in Altney?”

“I grew up in a village in Vlens. I’ve only been in Altney for a few years.”

“In a village in Vlens? Luca seemed somewhat surprised. “You didn’t live with your father, Mr. Yendall?”

Alana smiled, showing some embarrassment on her face, but she didn’t provide further details.

“Luca, why so chatty? Abel frowned. He didn’t want his chauffeur to engage in too much conversation

with Alana.

Luca scratched his head. “I’m just curious, so I asked a few more questions.”

“There ape too many curious things from you,” Abel remarked, glancing at him. “Get back to work now!”

Luca chuckled and quickly went to hang the curtains.

Alana walked over to Abel’s side, lowered her head with a smile, and said, “Thank you.”

“My driver is quite chatty, Abel said in a frosty tone. “Don’t read too much into it.”

Alana countered with a gentle smile. “No, he’s not. He is quite a nice person.”

Preferring not to engage with Alana, he turned his head and noticed Emmeline standing there, gazing

at him with a perplexed expression. He swiftly walked over, took her hand, and said, “It’s hot. Let me

get you some water.”

The weather was indeed hot, but Emmeline’s hand was cold.

She withdrew her hand and replied, “No need. I’m not needed here. I might as well head back.

“I told you that you don’t have to work,” Abel reassured her, smoothing her hair away from her

forehead. Just sit here and have some water.”

Janie is alone at the advertising company, Emmeline said. “If there’s a client, she won’t be able to

manage it alone. I’ll go over there.”

Just as he was about to convince her not to leave, Alana came over.

“Abel, is this your girlfriend?”

Abel chose to completely ignore her.

Emmeline said to Abel, “Since you’re busy here, you don’t have to worry about me. I’ll have Ben take

me.

“I’ll pick you up after work. Abel conceded, realizing there was no arguing with her. “Wait for me after

work!”

“Okay. Emmeline replied before turning around and leaving with her bag.

“Who is she?” Alana asked Abel again.

However, his gaze remained fixed on Emmeline’s departing figure.

He seemed not to hear her as he walked out of the house.

“Tony, Luca, come out and take a break!” Abel called out, leaning against the railing. “Finish smoking.

before you continue!”

Tony came out and took a cigarette from Abel before lighting it.

Luca followed suit. Just a bit more wiping.”

“The remaining work is yours,” Abel said to Luca with annoyance.

If Luca had not been so talkative, Emmeline wouldn’t have left.

“Isn’t this just a drizzle?” Luca took a deep drag of his cigarette. Just enough time for one cigarette!”

Leave the rest to me,” Alana chimed in as she came out. “Wiping tables and mopping the floor aren’t

typically jobs for a man.”

Abel remained silent, his eyes shifting elsewhere.

“Where’s Emma?” Tony just noticed Emmeline’s absence. “Why didn’t I see her?”

“Benjamin took her back to your place,” Abel explained, taking a drag of his cigarette. His tone sounded

somewhat gloomy.

“Wasn’t she supposed to settle into the new house and have a housewarming party here?” Tony All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

frowned. “Why did she leave?”

“She’s worried about Janie,” Abel explained. “She’s afraid that if there’s a client, Janie won’t be able to

handle it alone”

“She sure has a strong sense of responsibility. Tony remarked.

“We can bring her back later, Alana suggested.

I'll pick up Emma later, Abel said to Tony. “Emma and I will have dinner at home. Forget about the

housewarming party today.”

“That works, too,” Tony said. “It’s been a grueling and exhausting day. Another day would be more

suitable.”

“Mr. Ryker, was that girl your wife?” Alana asked Abel once more as she heard him mention going

home for dinner.

“She’s my sister!” Abel finally gave her an impatient answer.

“His precious little sister,” Tony added.
