Chapter 761 Don’t Touch Me
Emmeline was given more shrimp ravioli by Abel. He asked, "How does it taste?"
"Delicious!"
Emmeline remarked while licking her lips, "The shrimp is tender and flavorful; besides that, you cooked it to
perfection. It’s better than the one I made."
Abel said, "Haha! It's rare for my wife to praise me. Here, have another one."
Emmeline caught Abel's hand and stuffed the entire ravioli into her mouth.
Abel frowned again. He urged, "Slow down. How hungry are you?"
In between bites of ravioli, Emmeline remarked, "I was always hungry back in the Imperial Palace."
Abel's eyes became wet, and he asked with a choked voice, "Did they mistreat you?"
Emmeline answered honestly, "Not really. Anthony is a pervert who always wants to please me. I didn't endure any
abuse."
"Then why were you always hungry?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"He insisted on feeding me. I detest him. How was I able to eat?"
Emmeline sniffled and clarified, "Not eating wasn't an option, as my body would give out, but when I ate, I felt
disgusted, so I was forced to remain hungry."
Abel could not say anything. He began to sniffle and came close to crying. He said, "One day, when I catch Anthony,
I'll make him apologize to you."
Emmeline tilted her head and asked, "Have you seen Anthony? How did he get away?"
Abel replied, "He traded you for himself. Otherwise, I would've killed him."
Emmeline nodded and said, "Why we weren't able to capture him puzzled me, but that explained everything."
Abel did not mention the knife Anthony held against her neck, or the strange drug he was forced to consume. He
feared Emma would worry about him.
Abel scooped up some Kasha and urged, "Enough about him. You need to listen to me and eat more."
Emmeline continued to have her meal. Her belly was full after she ate a bowl of kasha and six ravioli.
"I'm really full this time," she said as she patted her belly.
Abel was delighted to see her consume so much food and felt pleased with his accomplishment.
"You haven't eaten yet; all you did was feed me," Emmeline remarked.
Abel replied, "There's still a bowl of Kasha and some ravioli left. That's enough for me."
Emmeline blinked her eyes and asked, "Has it gone cold? Should we warm it up downstairs?"
"It's just right; it's not cold at all."
Abel picked up the kasha and took a big sip. Actually, it had gone cold, the same goes for the ravioli. He enjoyed it
and refused to leave Emmeline's side, not even for a second.
God knows he did not even eat much when Emmeline went missing. Kasha and ravioli were delicious, but he would
have been content with stones as well.
After dinner, Abel held Emmeline in his arms while sitting on the bed. They had a warm and gentle conversation.
Emmeline felt relaxed as she leaned against his strong and warm embrace. She dozed off while they were
conversing on Abel's shoulder.
Half-lying on the bed, Abel continued to hold her while grasping her tender hands in his palms.
Emmeline eventually fell asleep more soundly.
After gently setting her down and wrapping a blanket around her. He reclined next to her and took her in his arms.

Abel was alarmed to see Emmeline sit up and hurl a pillow at him.
She yelled, "Go away! Don't touch me! Leave, or I'll bite my tongue and kill myself!"
Abel hugged her tightly and comforted her, saying, "Emma! It's me, it's me, I'm your husband!"
Emmeline hadn't fully woken yet, and she bit ferociously at Abel's arm.
"Emma…"
Abel dared not move or shout. He was aware that Emmeline was still dreaming and that she was sleepwalking. He
could not startle her.
Emmeline bit through his skin to the point where it was bleeding before she collapsed and fell back asleep.
Abel covered his bloody arm. He did not feel physical pain, only heartache.
How much terror had my love endured? She would much rather bite her tongue and die than let Anthony take
advantage of her.
Abel’s vision abruptly turned hazy all of a sudden.
