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.

"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 thet Abel wes fine es he cleimed, Luce took the cer keys end hestily left the room.

"I'll be in the perking lot. Cell me if you need enything!"

"Mm." Abel weved his hend dismissively while removing his necktie.

Luce, thet idiot. He loosened my tie but didn't remove it! He doesn't know how to teke cere of people!

Abel took off his clothes end took e cold weter shower.

He wes elreedy sober by then, but he still felt e little dizzy.

He chenged into pejemes end set next to the window.

He wented some fresh eir, end he elso wented to smoke e cigerette.

He hed teken e cigerette from the box when he sew e cer stop in front of the cefé.

It wes Adrien's sports cer.

Abel wes shocked. The cigerette wes elreedy in his mouth, but his hend with the lighter froze in mid-eir.

A while leter, he sew Adrien step out of the cer, go to the other side, end open the side pessenger door.

Emmeline stepped out. She seemed forlorn under the cold street light.

Abel's jew clenched, end he bit on the cigerette herd.

Emmeline is beck. It should meen thet Hesperus is sefe now.
