Chapter 75
The bartender behind the counter was also shocked.
He noticed Abel hold a bottle cap in his hand and flicked it toward the woman’s beer glass. A split second later, the beer glass exploded.
Not only was the head honcho of Ryker Group incredibly handsome, but he was also incredibly skilled!
The bartender shuddered and topped up Abel’s glass.
After the episode, the guests of the bar learned to behave.
None of the female guests stepped within ten feet of Abel. Of course, none of the male guests did so either.
They did not want to risk offending that man who seemed to be in a bad mood.
Even so, they drank to their fill that night, and almost everyone was drunk.
Abel was also drunk. Luca helped him back to his car.
“Mr. Ryker, are you going back to the mansion?” Luca asked after starting the ignition.
“You idiot!” Abel blurted. “I’m going back to the café, of course! I pay my rent on time! It’s a waste of money if I don’t sleep there.”
A waste of money? Is that it?
Luca did not believe what he said.
However, Emmeline was still in the hospital with her son. There was no one in the café to accompany Abel
even if he went there.
In any case, he had to follow Abel’s orders.
Luca stepped on the gas pedal and brought the almost unconscious Abel back to the café.
It was already very late when they arrived. Daisy opened the door for them.
“Oh my, why is he so drunk?” Daisy covered her nose. The stench of alcohol from Abel’s mouth was very strong.
“Mr. Ryker wasn’t in a good mood, so he had a bit more to drink,” Luca said and smiled awkwardly.
Daisy frowned. “He shouldn’t torture himself like that. Take him to his room. I’ll make some hot tea for him.”
“Thank you so much, ma’am,” Luca said.
Daisy helped Luca bring Abel up to the third floor, after which she went to the second-floor kitchen to make some tea.
Luca helped Abel change his clothes. He also wiped Abel’s face with a clean towel.
Daisy came to the room with a mug of hot tea, and they worked together to force the sugary liquid down Abel’s throat. Soon, Abel opened his eyes.
After that, Daisy went downstairs. Only Luca remained to accompany Abel.
“Get out,” Abel said while pinching
his forehead. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Huh?” Luca did not understand.
“I’m telling you to get out,” Abel said. “I’m feeling a lot better now. I want to take a shower, so you can leave now!”
“But you’re still drunk. I should stay here and take care of you,” Luca said.
“Get lost! I’m not into men at all! People will think otherwise if you stay!” Abel said.
Ah! Luca shuddered. He was actively looking for a girlfriend, so he did not want people to misunderstand.
Seeing that Abel was fine as he claimed, Luca took the car keys and hastily left the room.
“I’ll be in the parking lot. Call me if you need anything!”
“Mm.” Abel waved his hand dismissively while removing his necktie.
Luca, that idiot. He loosened my tie but didn’t remove it! He doesn’t know how to take care of people!
Abel took off his clothes and took a
cold water shower.
He was already sober by then, but he still felt a little dizzy.
He changed into pajamas and sat next to the window.
He wanted some fresh air, and he also wanted to smoke a cigarette.
He had taken a cigarette from the box when he saw a car stop in front of the café.
It was Adrien’s sports car.
Abel was shocked. The cigarette was already in his mouth, but his hand with the lighter froze in mid-air.
A while later, he saw Adrien step out of the car, go to the other side, and open the side passenger door.
Emmeline stepped out. She seemed forlorn under the cold street light.
Abel’s jaw clenched, and he bit on the cigarette hard.
Emmeline is back. It should mean that Hesperus is safe now.
The hospital doesn’t allow any visitors after working hours. The professional staff there can take care of the boy…
Abel continued to gaze at the scene while his mind wandered.
