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.”
“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.”

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…”

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…
