"That's a pity." Lizbeth pouted.

"Maybe next time then." Flynn was optimistic.

"Let me host today," Abel said. "You both traveled far after all. You're the guests here."

"We'll take your kind offer then." Flynn was more than open to the suggestion.

Abel then made reservations for a private room at the Nimbus Hotel and went there with the sibling duo.



Adrien was doing somersaults on his bed in excitement once Emmeline left the Ryker Hospital.

He could barely calm himself until his wound began to throb in pain.

Emmeline was allowing him to propose to her. It was a happy occasion for him!

He had to thank Adam for creating the opportunity for this to happen.

It was Adam's repeated use of heroic schemes which allowed him to successfully impress the woman.

It was a tried and true method throughout the ages after all!

Adrien gave his brother a call.

Adam sounded impatient the moment the call connected. 'What is it this time, Adrien? Can you stop going around giving me heart attacks?"

"Adam," Adrien started, tone happy. "I'm not calling to worry you this time. I wanted to invite you out for drinks!"

"Drinks? What for?" Adam launched into a tirade. "You're injured. You can't drink!"

"I know," Adrien said. "You can drink even if I can't."

"Alright, what's got you this happy? You're eager to spill the beans."

"It's Em."

Emmeline was allowing him to propose to her. The news was more than enough for him to be over the moon!

How many could be bestowed such an honor?

Go try to get her to say yes? She'd sooner shove you aside.

"She said yes, Adam. I can ask for her hand in marriage once I recover!"

…Damn it! Adrien, that lucky bastard!

Why didn't Em extend that same courtesy to me?

She could've propositioned Abel instead as well.

She, at least, loves Abel. So, why this idiot?

Is she saying Abel can't compare to Adrien?!

Hahaha, fortune sure likes to favor the fools!

Adam suddenly envied Adrien. He envied him so much it hurt.

"This is something worth celebrating," Adam said. "Where are you planning on getting those drinks from?"

"Nimbus, of course," Adrien answered. "Nimbus is my haunt. I want everyone there to know the good news!"

"Sounds good. Nimbus it is then. I'll be right there once I get changed."

"Cool. I'll get changed too."

"I'll see you in a bit."

"See you, Adam."
