Ambush of the Quadruplets

Chapter 24

“I was about to ask you the same question. Are you here to kidnap the kids?” asked Abel in a cold tone.

“They are my kids! I just want to bring them home,” said Adrien.

“We are not going with you! We are not going to leave Mommy!” said Helios.

“That’s right!” said Endymion.

“We are not leaving!” said Hesperus.

“Alright, alright! We’ll discuss that later.” Adrien tried to calm the situation.

“Get lost, now!” Emmeline raised the wooden spoon again.

Adrien quickly hid behind Abel.

“Can you let him go? For my sake, please?” asked Abel.

“Why would I let him go for your sake? Who do you think you are?” Emmeline was furious.

“I’m someone you will work together on the Adelmar Group project. I’m here to discuss work,” said

Abel.

“Shouldn’t you discuss work at the office? Why do you come to the cafe?” asked Adrien.

“I’m hiding from Mom and Grandad,” said Abel. He frowned and looked pale.

“Haha! I knew it! You must be troubled because Auntie Rosaline wants you to marry Alana, and

Grandad wants you to marry the Wonder Doctor. Am I right?” Adrien laughed.

Abel responded with a low groan.

“Seems like my decision to stay single is correct…” Adrien was gloating when he saw Emmeline’s

reaction. He quickly covered his mouth and left with his car. His bodyguards followed behind.

Emmeline took a look outside of the cafe. She did not see Abel’s bodyguard’s car.

Did he come here alone?

“Are you not going to invite me in for a coffee?” asked Abel gently.

“Come on in,” said Emmeline.

The children quickly welcomed Abel into the cafe. They prefer Abel over Adrien even though Adrien

was their birth father.

Abel gently caressed the children’s heads. “Thank you, dearies. Go play. Daddy has something to talk

to Mommy.” Abel did not realize he had misspoken until it was too late.

“I’m sorry.” He apologized.

“It’s okay.” Emmeline blushed and poured Abel a cup of coffee.

“Do the kids always play upstairs?” asked Abel.

“Yes. The first floor is the cafe, and we live on the second floor. The third floor is vacant, so the kids

usually play there.” Emmeline was still avoiding looking at Abel.

“The third floor is vacant?” asked Abel.

“Yes. We don’t need that much space,” said Emmeline.

“Can you rent the space to me?” asked Abel.

“Why do you want to rent the space?” Emmeline was surprised.

“I want to move out and stay here. Mom and Grandad are driving me crazy!” Abel explained.

“Really? Alright, I’ll give you a five percent discount on the rent and utilities,” said Emmeline.

“I’ll prepay one year of rent to you. Tell me the amount.” Abel took out his phone and transferred the

money. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’ll be back with my stuff. See you later,” said Abel.

“I’ll clean the room for you.” Emmeline went upstairs.

Abel finished his coffee excitedly before leaving in his car.

“Mr. Ryker, how’s everything?” Luca called Abel from his car that was parked around the corner.
