Ambush of the Quadruplets

"Of course I don't mind; I couldn't ask for more!" Emmeline jumped in excitement.

She pushed Abel outward and said, "Hurry up and bring Timothy over for dinner!"

He turned around and walked happily toward the parking lot.

He wanted to stay home to accompany his son, but Alana was getting on his nerve.

It seemed like Alana was paying unneeded attention to him rather than focusing on Timothy, who was being kidnapped. Abel was doubtful about Alana's capabilities as a mother.

Luca and the bodyguards thought that Abel was not welcomed by Emmeline, as he was walking hurriedly toward them. Once they knew that they were bringing Timothy over, they could not be happier.

It meant that Mr. Ryker had successfully gained Emmeline's trust as an undercover.

Timothy was picked up and dropped off in forty minutes.

Emmeline was wearing an apron, and she was preparing the meals with Daisy inside the kitchen.

"Waa!" Timothy burst into tears the moment he saw her.

She immediately put all the cooking tools away and squatted down to hold Timothy in her arms.

"Pretty mommy, I was scared to death. I thought I would've died!"

"T-Timmy, everything is alright now." Emmeline's eyes filled with tears the moment she heard Timothy's cries; her heart ached for him. "Timmy, everything is in the past. No one can hurt you now."

Helios, Hesperus, and Endymion surrounded Timothy; they tried their best to comfort him.

"I didn't know what happened, but I wish you all the best on behalf of the sun!" Helios said.

"I wish you the best on behalf of the moon!" Endymion also comforted him.

"Then I shall represent the stars, loving and protecting you!" Hesperus said to him.

The triplets successfully made Timothy chuckle. He wiped away his tears and laughed.

"Triplets, go play with Timothy inside the bedroom; it's not safe to play inside the kitchen." Emmeline secretly wiped her tears away.

Daisy glanced at Emmeline and asked out of curiosity, "Ms. Louise, I never knew that you'd reunited with your husband, and did you give birth to quadruplets?" Emmeline was astonished to hear Daisy's question.

I have found my husband?

I gave birth to quadruplets?

Daisy was not outspoken, but she was observant. It seems like she knows many things about me.

"You've guessed wrongly. He's not my husband, and I only gave birth to triplets. It's a coincidence that we're friends." Emmeline explained.

"I'm not buying it." Daisy pouted.

Emmeline shrugged her shoulders. Well, it's pointless to clarify, so I'll just let it be!

After dinner, the four children were playing hide-and-seek with each other. Emmeline brought Abel up to the rooftop platform.

The platform was surrounded by lattice, and two happiness trees were planted at the side.

There was a small wooden table underneath the trees, with two rocking chairs at its sides.

Emmeline liked to spend time reading, thinking about life, and drinking tea casually under the trees.

"This place is being wasted." Abel made his comment as he sat down on one of the rock chairs. "W-What? Are you saying it's ugly?" She glared at him.

"It's not ugly... It's beyond ugly. You should have renovated such a big platform into a garden!"

It actually sounds good!

Emmeline actually had a similar thought. But she had just returned to Struyria half a year ago. She bought this place recently, so she did not have the time to manage it.

She also had other villas, so she did not put all her focus here.

But she could not let Abel know about it.

She was pretending to be an ordinary single mother who spent her time running a café.

Her only vehicle was a second-hand electric bicycle.

So it was impossible for her to build a sky garden.

A-And... It seems like Abel is suspecting that I have another identity.

W-Well... I should be careful.

"Erm, I've thought about it before. But I don't have enough funds to do so. It's expensive to buy the plants. Ha, ha..." Emmeline scratched her head awkwardly, then coughed and replied to Abel. "You can leave it to me. What kind of plants do you like? I promise to make a sky garden in three days." Abel responded.
