"Yes," Rosaline said in a lowered voice, "she’s at the Aldemar Residence; it will be a matter of time before she passes away."

"Oh," Evelyn said, "this is the first time I heard about the Aldemar family."

"Don’t tell anyone about this," Rosaline said even lighter. "Don’t let Old Mr. Ryker hear it."

"Old Mr. Ryker?" She asked, "Why?"

"He had a grudge against the Aldemar family, so we don’t want to create more trouble."

Evelyn’s face crumpled, and she said, "Mrs. Madame Ryker, please rest assured. I’ll definitely keep my friend’s secret."

"Good to know," Rosaline said. "The kids are so pitiful without Emmeline."

"Madame Ryker, don’t you worry." She said, "The kids like me; if you’re okay with it, I can look after them for you."

"It’s good to have you," Rosalien smiled and said. "Back then, Abel refused to marry you. Now he should be realizing that he was missing out on a good woman."

"Madame Ryker, I'm not as good as you said." She lowered her head and said, "Mr. Abel and Emmeline were meant to be together, but..."

"Let’s not talk about her." Rosaline said, "I hope that Abel can get to know you more, and the two of you might be marrying each other in the future."

If Abel married Evelyn, it would be beneficial to his position in the company. Both Rosaline and Lewis were very well aware of it, and they were weary of Adam attempting to snatch his position.

Abel was there when the two of them were talking. He was in a black suit with a white tie. Evelyn could not lift her eyes off him the moment she saw him; he looked intimidating, but his look could easily captivate any woman.

"Abel," Rosaline waved to him and said, "It’s good timing for you to be back; Ms. Evelyn is here."

He frowned upon hearing her name. Evelyn? Why is she everywhere? This is so frustrating.

His facial expression was cold, and he wanted to turn around to leave.

"Abel," Rosaline said, "the food is ready; let’s have lunch with Ms. Evelyn."

"Mr. Abel," Evelyn said softly, "please don’t misunderstand me; I’m just here to visit your parents and the kids."

"That’s right, Daddy," Timothy ran down from the stairs and said, "Auntie Evelyn is mom’s friend!"

"Mom’s friend is welcome!" Helios was also coming down.

"Daddy, Auntie Evelyn bought this toy!" Endymion showed him the dinosaur toy.

"Look at mine," Hesperus said. "This is a remote airplane; it can fly to the garden!"
