Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1400

“I have a clear conscience and have nothing to fear.” Abel chuckled bitterly.

By the time he arrived home, the skies had already turned bright.

Emmeline was still peacefully sleeping in bed.

Abel took a hot shower, dried himself off, and walked out wearing only shorts.

He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

Suddenly, a pair of soft arms wrapped around him from behind.

“Woke up and couldn’t find you. Where did you go?” Emmeline murmured sleepily, still half–asleep.

He hesitated for a second. “I went for a run,” he said casually.

He couldn’t possibly tell her that he had just carried an old man’s body to the morgue and had just returned.

“It’s still early. Go and sleep a while longer, sweetheart. Abel patted Emmeline’s hand.

“Abel, how did you get a scar on your back? Emmeline, still groggy, noticed a deep scar on Abel’s shoulder.

“When did you get injured? Why didn’t I know? She reached out to touch it.

Abel froze. His body trembled slightly, and he ordered in a low, stern voice, “Go back to bed now!”

He felt the warmth of her skin, and his body reacted, but he didn’t dare to turn around.

“I’ll go back to bed, but you’ll have to stay with me. Emmeline pressed her little face against his back.

“Okay, go now. Be careful not to catch a cold. Abel gently pried her hand away.

Emmeline returned to bed and fell back asleep within two minutes.

When she naturally woke up and opened her eyes, Abel was already preparing breakfast,

There were oatmeal, boiled eggs, sesame oil spinach, and toasted bread.

“What a pleasant surprise!” Emmeline wiped her face with a towel and said, “Abel, you even have oats?”

“Only for you” Abel said, “I always keep supplies.”

“I only come three times a year,” Emmeline said. “And you still prepared for me?”

“There won’t be any left in a few days. Abel served her the oatmeal.

“Why do you say that?” Emmeline sat down on the chair. “You’re not planning to buy them for me?”

“Did you forget? I promised to lend the apartment to Tony as his wedding house. And I’ll move to the company, Abel said.

“Oh, right,” Emmeline said. “When are you going to clean up the place? I can help you.”
