Ambush of the Quadruplets

Chapter 49

Rosaline criticized, “Don’t try to talk your way out of it. Did Abel not stay at your place with Timmy for

more than a month? I couldn’t even stop my son from doing so!”

Alana pointed the finger at Emmeline. “That’s right. I saw it with my very own eyes. She forcefully came

in between me and Abel. This woman has no shame!”

“Watch your mouth, Alana!” Adrien came forth.

“Gee, Adrien. I can’t believe you’re still on her side. I guess you don’t mind her cheating on you,” Alana

taunted.

Adrien was speechless, at a loss for a comeback.

“Don’t insult my mommy! I’m calling the cops if you continue to use that language.” Helios yelled at

Alana.

“That’s right. The cops will arrest you because it’s a crime to slander.” Endymion raised his brow.

“We won’t forgive you for picking on our mommy!” Hesperus stood in front of Emmeline with guns

blazing.

Rosaline shared fondness and jealousy of the three adorable and righteous little men.

Why could these triplets not be Abel’s?

Well, it was not an issue. Alana had a bun in her oven now anyway.

Rosaline hoped Alana could give birth to triplets.

She would not mind if Alana had twins. It would make three children with Timothy in the mix. Abel

would have the same number of children as Adrien.

Rosaline said, “I’m warning you, Emmeline. Stop hitting on Abel. Abel is going to marry and have a big

family with Alana.”

Alana had a finger up Emmeline’s nose. “So you better stay away! Don’t ever get too close to Abel!”

“My, my. That’s a cocky tone. Who is pushing my precious sister and nephews around?”

Ethan scoffed and approached in large strides, standing in a protective stance with his back facing

Emmeline and the triplets.

“Uncle Ethan! Uncle Ethan! Perfect timing. They picked on Mommy!” The triplets cried.

“I dare them to try me!” Ethan rolled up his sleeves.

Although Ethan kept his hands to himself, his towering build intimidated Alana and Rosaline to take a

couple of steps back.

“Oh, so it’s you, Alana. Are you throwing your weight around again? It’s high time we even the score,

including the old.”

With Alana’s mind harking back to the humiliation from Ethan at her birthday party, she was scared, to

say the least.

Alana would have to face the music if the siblings went nuts right now.

“I can’t be bothered to continue with this. Consider yourself lucky that you’re off the hook for now.

Come on.” Alana grabbed Timothy’s hand and let out a scoff.

“Pretty mommy! I don’t want to go with Alana.” Timothy burst into tears.

Rosaline picked Timothy up. “Be good now, Timmy. Don’t waste your time with this woman. There’s not

a good bone in her body.”

“Pretty mommy!” Between the weeping, Timothy was shoved into the car by Rosaline.

The boy’s cries faded as the car sped away. All Emmeline could hear was the breaking of her heart.

“Timmy…” She could not stop her tears from flowing. It was unlike her to be choked up with emotions.

“Sigh. By the looks of it, Mommy can’t send us to school now,” Helios commented.

“Yeah. How can she drive when she’s heartbroken?” Endymion’s brows were in a knot. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Hesperus shook his head. “It’ll be bad if she spaces out while behind the wheel. Never mind. Let’s call

a cab.”

“I’ll drive you. You’ll be late if we don’t leave now.” Adrien stepped up to the plate.

“But what about Mommy?” The triplets did not feel comfortable leaving their mother in this state.

“Leave her to me. Hurry to school now. I’ll take your mommy home,” Ethan said.

“Thank you, Uncle Ethan.” The boys expressed their gratitude to Ethan.

Adrien took the children by the hand and drove them to their kindergarten in a hurry.

While on the way, Helios quietly discussed with his brothers, “Should we keep tabs on Adrien to make

sure he’s a good fit for Mommy? The last thing we want is for her to be ill-treated.”

Endymion said, “We can work for Mommy if Adrien cuts it to be her husband.”

Hesperus uttered, “It’d be ideal if Adrien passes the test. He’s our daddy after all. It’ll save a lot of

hassle in the future.”

Helios chimed in, “Why don’t we check out the Rykers’ residence?”

Endymion and Hesperus bobbed their heads. “Sounds good to me!”

“Mr. Adrien, take us to your family residence after you pick us up from school,” Helios said.
