Book To Read

Chapter 40
Once the dishes were served, Emmeline called the children and Abel to go downstairs for dinner.
The family gave off a lively, happy atmosphere.
Looking at this scene, Emmeline could not help but think about what Daisy said. However, how could she and Abel be a family?
Because of an accident, Emmeline gave birth to Adrien's child, while Alana gave birth to Abel's son.
After dinner, she brought a book to the rooftop and read it while swaying on the swing.
Abel held two packages and went upstairs to hand them to her awkwardly. "This is for you. I've never bought anything for a lady before, so I don't know if you would like it."
Emmeline was taken aback when she saw Abel holding two sets of high-end women's clothing.
"This…" Emmeline thought about her identity as an ordinary citizen and said, "I don't think I'm suitable for such luxurious clothing."
"Why not? You won't have to wear clothes that only cost 99 dollars, including postage, if there's any special occasion," Abel said.
"Are you making fun of me?" Emmeline frowned as she looked at the tall man in front of her.
"How am I making fun of you? You're much prettier than other women even if you wear cheaper clothing, let alone this Italian brand?"
Emmeline did not want to continue rejecting his kindness and make herself look petty. "Then I'll accept it and consider it your living cost, lest you feel bad about it."
Abel smiled, but he also felt a little sour inside. Did she not think there was another meaning to him giving her clothes?
The next morning, there was an urgent matter in the Ryker Group, so Abel was about to rush downstairs without having breakfast.
"Wait, I'll pack the breakfast for you in a lunch box. You can eat it when you're done with work. The food outside is unhealthy and unhygienic, so you shouldn't eat them."
Without waiting for Abel to say anything, she packed up the breakfast, put it in his hands, then helped him straighten his tie.
"Wow, Daddy and Mommy are so sweet together!" Timothy exclaimed.
Sun echoed, "You're showing off first thing in the morning!" Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Should you be showing off your love so openly?" Moon piled on.
"Just pretend we don't exist and continue what you're doing!" Star further teased.
The faces of the two standing face to face became a little flushed.
"It's getting late," Emmeline reminded him awkwardly.
"Mmhm, see you later." Abel nodded awkwardly. He then went downstairs joyfully with the breakfast made with love.
Seeing his tall figure going down the stairs, Emmeline felt her heart skip a beat.
Although this man was not the father of these three children, she also felt that he was kinder. She never had such a feeling toward Adrien. Sigh, why wasn't Abel the one I had an accident with?
Alana had been busy with Mr. X for a month now. Finally, she discovered that she did not get her period this month. She quickly went to the hospital for a checkup and confirmed she was pregnant!
Hahaha! My efforts were not in vain!
Alana quickly went to meet Alondra.
Alondra pinched Alana's face and smiled mischievously. "Mr. X not only made you pregnant, but he also took good care of you! Look at your tender little face! Even I want to touch it!"
"Stop joking! I'm talking about serious matters here! I want to tell Abel that he made me pregnant because of that night."
There was also a chance it might be Cristopher's child, but Alana did not know about it yet.
"However, it's not the right time yet. Do you know that Abel and his son are staying at Emmeline's cafe?" Alondra said mysteriously.
"I do, but how do I have the time to argue with her now?" Alana said in anger.
"You didn't manage to win the argument with her previously. You don't have a bargaining chip, so you'll definitely fail," Alondra said.
"However, now I have a bargaining chip. Even Rosaline will take my side because I'm pregnant with her grandchild!" Alana said confidently as she touched her belly.
"That's right, I've already thought of a plan to deal with Emmeline."
"What plan? You're really a mastermind!"
