Chapter 978 Open-Minded And Gracious

“That’s right!” Adrien said firmly. “Abel and Emma have our full support. We’re not bound by whatever happened in Grandpa’s generation!”

“If Oscar Ryker wants to get involved in this matter, he should also ask the Adelmars for their consent!” Waylon’s smile was very cold.

“That’s right,” Kenny concurred. “We won’t stand for Emma being treated badly.”

“Absolutely!” Bowie agreed. “There are eleven of us Adelmar siblings; none of us are pushovers. Messing with us is a bad idea.”

Benjamin added his opinion to the rest. “Abel and Emma are a family already. Nobody should interfere with that!”

“Benjamin is right.” Abel laced his fingers with Emmeline’s, his smile faint but purposeful. “No one is going to separate me and Emma. Not even Grandpa!”

Erin looked disinterested, but in reality, she was all ears. As she sampled the buffet’s offerings, she carefully stored up every bit of the conversation that she was listening to.

Abel raised his glass. Emmeline did as well, but hers held fruit juice instead of wine. The three of them clinked their glasses together and downed their drinks.

“Well, you could at least speak to the doctor for me,” Paul persisted. “His assistant turned me down. That’s why I’m asking for your help, so I can at least try and give Flynn a second lease of life.”

“I’ll try, anyway,” Abel answered reluctantly. “The Wonder Doctor might not necessarily say yes to me either.”

“As long as you’re willing to try, it’s good enough.” Paul raised his glass again. “A toast to your success!” He turned to Erin. “Why don’t you drink a toast as well, Erin?”
