"Why did you cry suddenly?" Abel asked as he wiped Emmeline's tears. "Is the meat charred and tastes bad?" Benjamin questioned. Emmeline shook her head and said, "That's not it." Both men were confused.

"I just think that it's unfair for Janie. She's missing yet I'm enjoying the barbeque here. I feel bad," Emmeline explained with teary eyes. "It's not your fault. No one wanted this to happen," Abel said. "It's my fault. I've neglected her," Benjamin said.

"This isn't your fault either. The two of you were never that close anyway," Abel said. "Ben, are you feeling forced to love Janie?" Emmeline asked. "It's not about love right now. I got her pregnant so I must take responsibility. There's no way out of that," Benjamin replied.

"Why are you so silly? If you don't love her then don't touch her," Emmeline said. "We were drunk that day and everything just happened. I told her that I would marry her. However, she seems to know that..."


"Ahem!" Abel cut off Benjamin. "She knows you well. She's hiding from you because she doesn't want you to feel pressured," Emmeline said. "That just makes me feel guilty. If she were to cry about it then I would feel much better," Benjamin said.

"The most important thing right now is to locate Janie. After that, we must not let history repeat itself," Abel uttered. "That's right. Janie is not fortunate enough to meet Robert just like Emma did," Benjamin replied.

Emmeline remained silent as she did not want to reminisce about her past. Benjamin's eyes were becoming red as he gulped down the wine. Emmeline took away his wine glass and said, "Stop drinking so much. Wine can't solve your problems. That's what Abel told me last time."

"I feel depressed right now. Why are things so complicated?" Benjamin muttered. Abel patted him on his shoulder and said, "You have to look on the bright side of things." Benjamin nodded.

"I feel fortunate for Emma. You've violated her in the past and made her give birth to four children. Five years after that, both of you met each other again and fell in love! If this never happened, she would have been scarred for life. Although I'm in love with Emma and we could get married, it would not heal her wounds. Abel, you have to take good care of Emma, or else I won't spare you!" Benjamin said.
