The Quadruplets Are Mine?

Chapter 1425 Don’t Despair; You Still Have

In a hoarse voice, Emmeline inquired, “You didn’t sleep all night?”

Abel gently kissed her lips and replied, “I didn’t sleep. I just wanted to be here with you.”

They clung to one another in silence, both hesitant to disrupt the serene moment before them.

At 7 a.m., he rose to prepare breakfast while conversing with Landon, saying, “I’ll be home this morning. I won’t be going to the office. Call me if you need anything.

“Understood, Mr. Ryker, Landon affirmed. Just inform me of any changes.

“Of course.”

At 8 a.m., Abel’s phone rang, and Alana was on the line.

“Mr. Ryker.” Her tone was gentle. “You’re not at the office?”

“Is there something you need?” he responded, his tone distant.

“I bought breakfast,” she explained. “I thought of bringing it to you and Emma, but then I realized you. weren’t home.”

Abel calmly clarified, “We’re at our residence here in Altney Steel. I won’t be heading to the office this morning. Is there something urgent?”

Alana hesitated before saying, “Well, Emma had quite a bit to drink last night. Is she alright?”

Unexpectedly, he had already hung up.

She threw her phone onto the desk, sucering as she wondered about what transpired between him and Emmeline during that phone call last night. She couldn’t help but burst into laughter, anticipating that

the couple was likely in a chaotic situation.

–

As anticipated, Kimberly had Ms. Maggie relay her message to Albus, instructing him to come to her house.

Emmeline had hoped that after a night had passed, her mother wouldn’t bring up the matter again, but to her dismay, there was no escape. Emmeline felt like her world was falling apart, retreating to her bedroom and weeping.

Abel kneeled in front of her, firmly grasping her hands as he spoke in a hushed but resolute tone. “Emma, as long as you’re willing, I won’t care about anything else. I’ll take you away right now!”

Speechless and with a furrowed brow, she shook her head while sobbing. “No, I can’t risk my mother’s life. Even if we were together, it would mean nothing if something happened to her

Abel hesitated, then swallowed hard before urging, “Emma, this is our last option. Please reconsider. Come with me.”

She hesitated briefly but ultimately refused, saying, “Nol” She shook her head and uttered, “I can’t do it. I can’t gamble with my mom’s life!”

Abel sighed in silence.

Meanwhile, Albus arrived with an innocent smile still on his face. Yet, Emmeline couldn’t help but wonder whether that smile was genuinely naive or simply foolish.

In a gentle tone, Kimberly inquired, “You’ve been dating Emma for quite a while now. What does your family think about this?”

Albus, a bit bashful, replied, “They’re thrilled! My mom knows that Emmeline is your daughter and is genuinely pleased about it.”

She beamed, saying. I knew it. Michelle certainly remembers the strong connection between our families.”

He nodded, adding. That’s exactly what my mom conveyed.”

Maxwell, on the sidelines, stood smoking and remained silent.

Emmeline, overwhelmed with sadness, retreated to her room and wept into her pillow.

Abel felt a sense of being trapped in a maddening situation with no apparent escape.

Soon after, Albus happily departed to relay the news to his mother.

“Mom.” Emmeline crouched in front of Kimberly, her voice filled with concern. “Are you genuinely pleased with the idea of me marrying Albus?”

“Absolutely!” Kimberly responded. I believe he will take excellent care of you, and it’s a stroke of good fortune for you.”

“But, Mom. Emmeline continued, her heart heavy. I’m not happy, and I’m feeling quite sad. Can’t your empathize with my situation?” Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“What’s making you unhappy and sad?” Kimberly’s brow furrowed. Albus is a good man; he doesn’t deserve this from you.”

“I want to be with Abel, Emmeline implored, desperately changing to hope. “Morn, can you please

understand?”

“Absolutely not! Don’t even entertain the thought of being with him!‘ Kimberly’s anger flared, her face turning crimson. “Are you trying to infuriate me?

Emmeline was taken aback.

After consoling her mother, Abel and Emmeline returned to the city. She sat in the passenger seat, her complexion as pale as porcelain, her eyes brimming with worry and sorrow, giving her a fragile and powerless appearance.

Abel drove, his heart heavy, making it hard to catch his breath. “Emma,” he said, his inteuse gaze fixed on the road ahead.

“Yes?”

“I’ll handle matters at the school for you. Your position will be preserved even if you decide not to return. to teaching.”

“I understand.” Emmeline nodded, aware of Abel’s consideration for her future.

“But..” He added, “Please don’t overexert yourself. You still have the Ryker Group as your support.”

“True” She nodded again, knowing he was her pillar of strength.

No matter the outcome, he would never abandon her.

Later, Abel pulled over to the side of the road. He leaned over and held her tightly, his voice filled with pain. “Don’t despair, you still have me!”

Emmeline finally let her tears flow and sobbed, “Abel, how much longer can I stay by your side?”
