Lizbeth and Adrien simultaneously rose from their chairs.

“You guys?” Emmeline expressed her surprise, “You guys are here too?”

With a cigarette between his lips, Adam narrowed his eyes and remarked, “How can we have a meal without them tagging along?”

“Exactly,” Lizbeth chimed in, “Adam didn’t mention why he called us here, and now I know that he invited Emma.”

“I didn’t come for nothing,” Adrien smiled, “I was thinking how dull this meal would be with just the three of us!”

“What do you mean?” Lizbeth appeared displeased, “Are you bored of eating with me?”

“How could I dare?” Adrien quickly apologized, “I didn’t mean that either.”

“That’s when we’re dining with Adam,” Adam shot him a disdainful glance, “Don’t you like it?”

“I’m even more afraid,” Adrien responded, “I just think the three of us having this dinner feels incomplete. Now that Emma’s here, it feels right, but what about Abel?”

Adrien turned towards Emmeline and inquired, “Why didn’t Abel come along with you?”

“Abel isn’t feeling well,” Emmeline explained, “He’s resting at home for a couple of days.”
