The Quadruplets Are Mine?

Chapter 99

“You should’ve changed a long time ago!” Abel roared “Have you ever considered Hesperus’ feelings? He barely escaped death!”

“I know you saved Hesperus!” Adrien was also shouting equally loudly. “You want to tell me that my son would’ve died if you hadn’t saved him, right? Fine, I owe you one then! Are you happy now?”

“This is ridiculous! You haven’t changed at all!” Abel said coldly.

“That’s enough! You two are cousins. Why are you bickering over a woman?” An icy voice was heard at the door.

Emmeline, Abel, and Adrien turned their heads. They saw Adam enter the room escorted by bodyguards.

Abel narrowed his gaze. “What do you mean, Adam?”

“I’m talking about this woman,” Adam said while pointing at Emmeline. “It’s your duty to save the child because he has Ryker family blood, but the woman? You shouldn’t tear each other apart because of her. No man from the Ryker family is ever short of attention from women.”

Abel shielded Emmeline behind him. “You’re talking about yourself and Adrien, right?”

Adam scoffed. “Abel, rumor has it that you don’t like being close to women, and Timothy was the result of someone’s trap. I didn’t expect you to be as eager as Adrien to fight over a woman!”

Abel chuckled. “Are you here just to tell me that?”

“Of course not,” Adam said. “Grandfather wants to host a party to celebrate his great grandson’s recovery. I’m here to inform you two of that.”

Abel and Adrien were surprised. Emmeline was surprised too.

Oscar wants to host a party to celebrate Star’s recovery! That’s… very sudden!

“I don’t think that’s a good idea. Star is still young, and it’s not very prudent to host a party for him,” Emmeline said.

“Are you in charge here?” Adam gazed profoundly at Emmeline before turning to speak to Abel and Adrian again. “Tomorrow night, at Ryker Mansion. Got it?” Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

He turned around and left. Adrien also left soon after that.

“Um… I’ll bring some formal clothes for you and the children to the café,” Abel said.

Emmeline nodded. “Mm. Sorry for troubling you.”

Abel gently held her face with his hands, planted a kiss on her forehead, and left the room.

Emmeline pressed her lips together to hide her embarrassment, even though no one was looking at her.

She sent a message to Benjamin on her phone.

A while later, Benjamin arrived at the ward with a fresh fruit cake.

“If you have anything to tell me, you can tell me through the phone, right?” Emmeline said as she took the cake from Benjamin.

“Don’t worry The Ryker family knows that I’m here on Ethan’s behalf,” Benjamin said.

“I still don’t think it’s appropriate,” Emmeline said. “The Adelmar Group will be affected if my identity is exposed!”

“They wouldn’t think the incident is related to Mr. Adeimar. If it comes to it, I’ll just admit I’m your secret admirer. They wouldn’t think too much about it!” Benjamin said.

“Benjamin! I know you’ve been waiting to say that!” Emmeline said angrily.

“Shh! Star is sleeping! Careful you don’t wake him up!” Benjamin smiled and whispered.

“Anyway, back to serious business. I think there’s more to the party than meets the eye,” Emmeline said.

“I gave some thought about that. I’ll bring Ethan and a few bodyguards along with me. We’ll be there to give Star a present. You don’t have to worry.”

“Daisy, too,” Emmeline said. “I’ll let her keep an eye on Star.”

“Mm. Abel will also protect you. There shouldn’t be anything to worry about,” Benjamin said.

“Troubles never left me ever since I was involved with the Ryker family, but I can’t keep myself away either,” Emmeline said.

“At least Star is okay now. If you want to extricate yourself completely, I’ll be waiting for you at the Adelmar Group.”

“It’s not the time yet. I have to wait and see,” Emmeliné said.

Benjamin walked up to Emmeline and gazed at her. “Emma, have you really fallen in love with Abel?”
