Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1423

Abel picked up the phone and enthusiastically greeted. “Uncle Maxwell”

“Abel, where are you and Emma?” Maxwell asked sternly.

Abel’s heart sank, and he quickly responded, “Didn’t I mention it earlier? After the trade fair, we have an appreciation dinner and stay at the company dormitory.”

Maxwell pressed further, “And what about Emma?”

Abel assured him, “She’s right here with me. She’s had a long day and is quite exhausted.”

“Abel,” Maxwell Louise

id with a solemn tone. “Kimberly received a call claiming that the two of you

booked a hotel room.”

Abel, taken aback, exclaimed, “What? Who’s spreading these false rumors?”

Maxwell cautinned, “There’s usually some truth behind rumors. Abel, I urge you to refrain from entertaining any inappropriate thoughts about Emma.”

Abel frowned. ‘How could that be? Nothing is going on between me and Emma, and we are at the company dormitory, not a hotel!”

Maxwell’s tone remained unyielding. “No matter where you are, you and Emma should return immediately.”

“But Uncle Maxwell.” Abel protested. Tve been drinking, and it’s unsafe for me to drive.”

Maxwell urged. As long as you re capable of driving, that’s not an excuse. Get back to me right away! Kimberly is frantic after hearing the news.

Abel momentarily fell silent and finally relemed, saying, “Alright, I’ll bring Emma back immediately.

Emmeline awoke from her inebriated state and hastily changed her clothes before rushing downstairs with Abel. They arrived home at 11 p.m.

Meanwhile, Maxwell was on the couch, surrounded by swirling smuke, with an overflowing ashtray in front of him. In the bedroom, Kimberly leaned against the bedside, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, her breath heavy, as though she had just had a heated argument with her husband.

“Mom, there’s no need to act this way,” Emmeline timidly addressed her mother. “Abel and I are okay.”

Kimberly looked at her daughter and sternly inquired, “Were you studying outside this week, or have you been with Abel dre entire time?”

Emmeline, felt her anxiety rise and hurriedly responded, “I was definitely in Magic City: the plane ticket is still in my bag!”
