Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1399

In reality, Emmeline didn’t realize that with her by Abel’s side, he would never experience exhaustion.

“Abel Emmeline looked at the bracelet on her wrist and remembered Brandon’s words. “Can I ask you a question?”

“Sure, what is it?”

Abel’s profile was illuminated by a faint light, his captivating handsomeness shining through.

Emmeline took off the jade bracelet on her hand. “What type of jade is this bracelet that you bought in Serwell?

“I only know it’s jade, Abel said. “I don’t know the specific kind.”

“Some people say it’s Imperial jade. Emmeline said. “Imperial jade is quite expensive. How much did you spend on it when you bought it?”

“It’s been many years. I forgot.” Abel frowned. “Why do you want to know?”

Just tell me how much you actually spent?‘ Emmeline said, I’m just curious.

“Probably..” Abel tried to recall. Probably around 9,700?”

“9,700?” Emmeline gasped.

Last year, a three–bedroom apartment in Altney Steel’s community only cost 50,000 to 60,000!

Five years ago, how much would 9,700 have been worth?

“Five years ago,” Emmeline said, “9,700 would’ve been equivalent to two years‘ worth of your salary!”

Abel kept quiet.

“Which means you stayed frugal and saved up for two years to buy me this bracelet?” Emmeline asked.

“It’s been almost five years,” Abel said. “Emma, can we not talk about it?”

“Must you sacrifice so much for me?” Emmeline said, “I’m worried about you!”

“Do you despise me?”

“No! I’m concerned about you! I don’t want you to do this!”

“Emma, you are my family, and I want to give you the best things!”

“But this isn’t right!”

“Why not?” Abel said, “I don’t need you to repay me. You just need to accept.

“Abell”

“Emma,” Abel said in a deep voice, there will come a day when I can’t reach you, so while you’re still by my side…”

“It won’t happen!” Emmeline interrupted him with tears in her eyes. “I won’t marry anyone except you!”

Screech!

Abel slammed on the brakes, and the car skidded a few meters before stopping by the roadside.

“Emma.” Abel’s voice was hoarse. “You can’t say that.”

Www not? That’s how I feel!”

“You can’t. Just don’t.”

“But…” Emmeline’s eyes shimmered with tears. “But I love you!”

Abel furrowed his brow in pain, turned on the hazard lights, lowered the car window, and lit a cigarette.
