Ambush of the Quadruplets

Chapter 1454

Emmeline returned to the Ryker Group building, but Abel was nowhere to be found. He was not in the

office either.

Hasn’t he come back?

Emmeline sat on the sofa, anxiously waiting. What else could she do in this situation?

As the sky darkened, he still hadn’t returned. It was getting late, and Abel was still nowhere to be

found.

Emmeline changed into her nightgown and sat on the edge of the bed, clutching her blanket, listening

to the clock ticking second by second.

At four o’clock in the morning, the sound of the door lock echoed, followed by the living room light

turning on with a ‘click. She ran barefoot to the living room and saw Abel, squinting against the light as

if he hadn’t expected to see her.

“Emma?” Abel mumbled. “You’re back?”

Emmeline smelled the faint scent of alcohol as she walked up to him, then she saw his disheveled hair

and the numerous colorful kiss marks on his neck. She pulled open his T- shirt to see them covering

almost his entire chest too, and tears streamed down her face.

“Who were you with?” She frowned. “Alana?”

“It doesn’t matter anyway!” He laughed. “Does it matter?”

She raised her palm to slap him, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms as he was about

to lower his head. However, she swung her left hand and slapped him on the cheek. Due to her injured

wrist, the slap was not forceful, and she felt a sharp pain instead.

“Hmph!” Abel sneered, still holding her right wrist. “Now that you have a man, I’m not allowed to touch

you, huh?”

“Abel!” she said hoarsely. “You have disappointed me so much!”

“Aren’t you the one who has disappointed me?” Abel snorted. “You can’t even fight back?”

“That’s what my mother wanted!” Emmeline whispered. “How can I fight against that?”

“So, you gave in and married Albus?” He sneered. “Will your mother be fine if you sacrifice yourself?”

Emmeline shook her head sadly and replied after a moment of silence, “All I want is to prevent her from

getting sick and sent to a mental hospital, so I had to choose Albus. Consider it as me owing my

mother my life!”

“I don’t believe in this nonsense!” He sneered at her. “You were raised lovingly by me since childhood,

so I won’t allow you to sacrifice yourself for others. I definitely won’t allow any other man to compete

with me either!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

He lifted her by the waist and took a few steps to the bedroom, throwing her onto the bed. With a

‘whoosh,‘ he untied the belt of her silk robe, which slid down.

For the first time, Emmeline revealed her flawless skin before Abel. She closed her eyes, which were

filled with tears. She heard his belt buckle snap open, but then the blanket was lifted, tightly wrapping Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

her up. He lay beside her instead, his arm embracing her through the blanket as he cried

uncontrollably.

This was the second time Emmeline had seen him cry so sorrowfully because of her. She turned

around and embraced him, then fell into a deep sleep like that because of exhaustion.

When dawn broke, she rested her head on Abel’s shoulder, caressing the kiss marks on his chest.

“Who did this?”

“No one,” he replied calmly. “Don’t think too much about it.”

“Then, what are these?” She didn’t believe him.

“We were just fooling around at the nightclub last night.” He looked toward the ceiling, “It was really just

fooling around. Nothing happened!”

“To this extent?” Her eyes widened in disbelief, and anger flickered within them.

He chuckled and turned over to kiss her. “I didn’t lose my virginity!”

Emmeline blushed with embarrassment and raised her hand, about to hit him. It was only then that he

noticed the white bandage on her wrist and grabbed her arm, stunned as he immediately understood

what had happened.

“Emma!” Abel hugged Emmeline tightly, his voice trembling. “Why would you do such a foolish thing?”

“I was afraid.” She buried her head in his shoulder. “I was afraid that you wouldn’t want me anymore, so

I might as well die.”

“Fool. How could that be?” He choked out. “Even if you marry Albus, I will still be your big brother. I

won’t abandon you! As long as you live happily, everything will be fine!”

“Really?” Emmeline raised her teary eyes and looked at him. “You don’t despise me and will

“Of course!” He cupped her face and said earnestly, “I will wait for you even if it takes a lifetime, but you

must promise me not to do such a foolish thing again!”

After getting up and freshening up, Abel made breakfast. Just as they sat down to eat, his phone rang.

The caller ID showed it was the office’s landline. He hurriedly picked up, and the voice of the workshop

director, Lorren, came through the phone.

“Mr. Ryker, are you at the office?”

“I am. What’s the matter?” A sense of unease washed over Abel.
