Chapter 1366 It’s Impossible Between You Two

When they arrived home, Albus happened to be coming downstairs, and they exchanged a brief

greeting.

“Your mother said you still have classes in the afternoon, so I’ll head back first,” Albus said, feeling a

bit. awkward.

Emmeline avoided his gaze and nodded mechanically

Ms. Maggie, seeing Emmeline return’with tear-streaked cheeks, sensibly stopped chattering and left

the

room.

“Mom, I’m sorry.” Emmeline leaned against her mother’s knee.

“You know, Emma, Albus’ parents have a long-standing friendship with your dad and me,” her mother

said gently. “You shouldn’t do him bad like that.”

“Hmm,” Emmeline obediently agreed.

“If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t have become a regular worker at Altney Steel, and I wouldn’t have

such good treatment now. We owe them a lot.” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’ve never heard you and Dad talk about this before.” Emmeline looked at her mother’s face.

“You’re just kids; what should we tell you about that?” her mother replied. “Besides, they all became

high- ranking leaders at Altney Steel later on, and we gradually grew apart.”

Emmeline didn’t seem interested in what her mother was saying, feeling a heavy, oppressive weight on

her

heart.

“But Mom, I don’t want anyone else,” Emmeline muttered with her eyes downcast. “I just want to be

with Abel.”

“Shut up!” Kimberly interrupted Emmeline and shifted her gaze toward Abel. “Abel, watch over Emma.

Just because she’s not sensible doesn’t mean you, her older brother should too!”

Abel understood what Kimberly meant. He nodded in silence.

Maxwell emerged from his study, his face grim. “Abel, Emma is still young. You should provide more

guidance, and don’t let her go astray.”

“This is my own business,” Emmeline protested as she stood up. “Why are you scolding Abel?!”

Abel remained silent.

After a moment, he suddenly stood up and, without any warning, knelt down in front of his uncle. “Uncle

Maxwell!”

Maxwell’s face had turned beyond grim. “Speak your mind. No need to kneel before me!”

“I watched Emma grow up.” Abel looked up at him. “But no matter who you choose for her, I won’t be

at

case.”

Maxwell was taken aback, but his tone remained harsh. “You and Emmeline, it’s impossible!”

“Uncle Maxwell!”

Maxwell slammed the table, his expression grave.

Abel bowed his head with a resounding thud. “Uncle Maxwell, please let us date!”

“Abel!” Emmeline was frightened and quickly pulled his arm, but Abel remained motionless.

“Abel. I’m sure you haven’t forgotten how we’re all related, have you?” Maxwell was exasperated,

breathing heavily.

“I know.” Abel nodded.

“So how dare you still make such an absurd request?!”

“But…” Abel raised his head. “My father was adopted, and I have no blood relation to Emmeline.

Legally, we are allowed!”

“Do you also know that your father lost his mother before he was even a year old and was raised by

drinking my mother’s milk? In our family records, he’s listed as my elder brother!” Maxwell was furious.

“But, Uncle Maxwell…”

“Shut up!” Maxwell’s brows furrowed deeply. “I knew it would come to this someday!”

Abel, you don’t know how much Maxwell and I care about you,” Kimberly said. “If not for this layer of

relationship, we wouldn’t think about marrying Emma to anyone else but you. But it’s not possible; our

hometown would never agree. Even in death, we wouldn’t be able to rest in our ancestral grave!”

“Abel, I know that you care for Emma,” Maxwell said, “but your relationships are just forbidden. Please

be more careful in your interactions from now on. Don’t meet so often anymore.”

Abel nodded heavily and quietly stood up.

“Abel!” Emmeline looked at him timidly.

“It’s okay, listen to your parents.” Abel raised his hand, wanting to touch Emmeline’s cheek, but then he

withdrew it.

“Abel…”

“I’ll head back to the factory,” Abel said. “You go to your class. I won’t neglect you.”

Emmeline said nothing.

“Be a good girl. Listen to your parents,” said Abel before leaving in silence.

She chased after him, but his car was already started and running…
