Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1372

Chapter 1372 Don’t Tell Her 

After Emmeline arrived at the guesthouse, Tony immediately called Abel. 

Abel had just finished washing up and was getting ready to rest. When he heard that Emmeline was at Tony’s place, he was genuinely startled. 

Also, it finally hit him that when Emmeline mentioned she was at the bus stop, she was referring to the city’s bus stop, not the one near the elementary school! Hell, he had spent a good while searching for her near that bus stop! 

Abel hastily put on his sportswear, feeling extremely anxious, and rushed to RetroWave Advertisements. 

Right then, his beloved girl was peacefully asleep in the bed beside him. 

In Abel’s heart, there was an indescribable mixture of satisfaction and guilt. 

“Thank goodness nothing happened to you, or how can I continue to live?” Abel gently held Emmeline’s hand in his palm and stared at her, listening to her steady breathing. 

“Abel…” Emmeline called out softly as if in a dream. 

Her petite body shifted slightly, and tears glistened at the corners of her eyes, rolling down. 

Abel pressed her little hand against his lips, almost on the verge of tears himself. 

“Silly girl, why didn’t you call me? Didn’t you know that I was also looking for you at the same time? 

“Did you think I no longer cared about you? Were you angry and upset? You told Tony not to call me, saying you don’t want to see me. Emma… Emma, you’ve made me so heartbroken…” 

Abel kept vigil by her bedside the entire night, watching over her. 

Several times during the night, he wiped away the tears that had fallen in her sleep. 

As morning broke, Abel tucked Emmeline in, gently kissed her cheek, and then went downstairs to the lobby. 

Janie was dozing off on the bar counter. When she heard footsteps, she raised her head, still drowsy. 

“Is Emmeline okay?” she asked. 

“She’s fine. Didn’t wake up all night,” Abel replied. 

“But your dark circles are pretty serious.” 

“It’s okay; I stayed up the whole night.” 

“That must have been tough.” 

“Keeping vigil through the night isn’t tough; what’s tough is not being able to smoke when I’m awake,” Abel said with a wry smile. 

“You’re something else.” Janie laughed. “Aren’t you waiting for Emmeline to wake up before you leave?” 

“I won’t wait. It’s better if she doesn’t know I was here,” Abel said, looking somewhat downcast.

“Emmeline mentioned yesterday that you two had some kind of disagreement,” Janie said. “But it looks to me that you two are okay. You care about her so much and are so affectionate.” 

Abel smiled, settled the accommodation bill, and turned to leave. 

Out of habit, Emmeline opened her eyes at 6:30 a.m. 

She wouldn’t be able to do her morning exercises that day, so she thought of lying in bed for a while, reminiscing about her dream. 

In last night’s dream, she was trapped on a deep cliff, overwhelmed by fear and despair. 

She shouted in the mountain abyss, “Abel! Abel, where are you?” 

Then, she felt Abel’s warm and reassuring large hand gently holding hers. She sensed him embracing her, protecting her, telling her not to be afraid, that he was there… 

However, the morning sun was already shining brightly, and a new day had begun. 

Abel, where are you? Do you know how these past two days have been for me? Don’t you know how much I miss you? 

Emmeline took out her phone, intending to call Abel. She looked at the screen with Abel’s name displayed, but in the end, she didn’t press the dial button. 

Abel left the guesthouse and called Benjamin. 

“Abel, Benjamin asked, “is Emmeline okay after last night?” 

“She’s fine. You and Tony went out of your way for her! 

“Don’t mention it. It’s no trouble at all.”
