Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

Chapter 1408 I Don’t Want To Interfere

“She’s your sister?” Alana suddenly brightened. “Mr. Ryker, why didn’t you say earlier? I would’ve taken. care of her just now.”

Abel’s tone remained cold as he replied, “She’s not accustomed to being around other people. She’s used to being taken care of by me.”

Alana was left momentarily speechless,

His frown deepened as he said to her. “You’d better let your father know not to have you work closely with me. I have a bad temper,”

“Can it be worse than my dad’s?” Alana looked up at him. “You’ve been with my dad for many years, right?”

Abel chose to neither confirm nor deny it, remaining silent.

“I don’t believe you haven’t heard” she added with a biner smile. “My dad left me and Mom in a remote village in Vlens and didn’t care about us. He almost started a new family by himself.”

Abel had indeed heard about this, and it caused quite a stir when he first arrived at the factory.

“Every time my dad came home, he would beat and abuse me and Mom, Alana continued. T’ve seen the worst temper.

“All this doesn’t concern me. Abel stated, crushing the cigarette butt under his foot. “My temper might be worse than your father’s!”

After completing their work, Abel and Tony returned to RetroWave Advertisements.

Surprisingly, Emmeline was not there.

Janic explained, “An insurance company agent came by and gave her a business card. Emma asked Ben to be her chauffeur and went to the insurance company for a business meeting.”

Tony noticed a business card on the tea table: Unity Insurance Altney Branch.

Next to the business card was a set of keys, which Abel picked up and identified as Emmeline’s.

After more than half an hour, Benjamin returned.

“How did it go?” Tony inquired.

“Smooth!” Benjamin replied. “Emma successfully convinced Mr. Foley, the manager of the insurance company, and they decided to put up three giant billboards on the provincial road.”

“Impressiv” Tony commended with a thumbs up. “Emma nailed it in one go!”

“The total area of these three billboards is estimated to be over three thousand square meters, Benjamin added. “This is a huge achievement!”

“But where’s Emma?” Abel asked Benjamin. “Why didn’t she come back with you?”

“I didn’t have time to tell her, Benjamin explained. “Emma took the bus back by herself, and when I offered to drive her, she refused.”

“She didn’t take the house keys. Abel took the keys that Emmeline had left behind and walked out of the door.

The car sped back home, but Emmeline still hadn’t arrived.

Abel raised his hand to check his watch.

The private car and the bus operated on a ten–minute time gap. After Emmeline exited the car and leisurely strolled back, he estimated there was another ten–minute walk ahead.

Seizing this opportunity, Abel decided to dash to the kitchen to prepare a meal.

Not long after, the doorbell rang, and Seal crouched at the door, barking.

Abel opened the door and deliberately put on a stern face. “Forgot your keys again?”

However, standing at the doorway were two people, and neither of them was Emmeline.

Abel was taken aback

The girl at the from, fair–skinned and chubby, was Sam.

However, Abel didn’t recognize her, but behind Sam was a man Abel had seen before, Albus Zeller. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Abel furrowed his brow, “Are you Albus?”

Albus quickly nodded with a smile. “Yes, it’s me!”

“Abel, right? Sam said excitedly. “Do you remember me?

Abel smiled and said. “Sorry, I don’t remember.”

“I'm Sam,” Sam said excitedly. “Emma’s middle school classmate. We ve met several times before!”

Abel vaguely remembered and stepped aside, saying, “Sam, please come in!”

“Where’s Emma?” Sam asked. “She called me to come over. Why haven’t I seen her?”

“She hasn’t come back yet, probably still on the way, Abel replied. Please have a seat.”

I can’t believe that cheeky girl is actually making plans with someone! Abel brewed tea while quietly fuming. She’s even going as far as making a plan with Albus!

Just then, the phone ring

Abel picked it up and saw that it was Emmeline calling, so he quickly answered. “Emma.

“Abel,” Emineline said. “I know everyone is warming the new home with you, and I don’t want to interfere. I’ve already gone back home.”

“I see,” Abel responded, knowing that she had more to say.

“But, Abel, I’ve already arrived at the community, and then I remembered…” Emmeline mattered.

“Remembered what?” Abel smirked.

“I really didn’t mean to Emmeline explained first. “I didn’t want to delay you warming the new home with them, but I left the keys at Tony’s place, so when I got to the door of my home, I couldn’t get in…

“What are you going to do? Abel suppressed his laughter. I’m quite busy here.”

Emmeline tentatively asked, “Have you guys started the drinking session? What about that Alana Yendall?”
