Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1425

In a hoarse voice, Emmeline inquired, “You didn’t sleep all night?”

Abel gently kissed her lips and replied, “I didn’t sleep. I just wanted to be here with you.”

They clung to one another in silence, both hesitant to disrupt the serene moment before them.

At 7 a.m., he rose to prepare breakfast while conversing with Landon, saying, “I’ll be home this morning. I won’t be going to the office. Call me if you need anything.

“Understood, Mr. Ryker, Landon affirmed. Just inform me of any changes.

“Of course.”

At 8 a.m., Abel’s phone rang, and Alana was on the line.

“Mr. Ryker.” Her tone was gentle. “You’re not at the office?”

“Is there something you need?” he responded, his tone distant.

“I bought breakfast,” she explained. “I thought of bringing it to you and Emma, but then I realized you. weren’t home.”

Abel calmly clarified, “We’re at our residence here in Altney Steel. I won’t be heading to the office this morning. Is there something urgent?”

Alana hesitated before saying, “Well, Emma had quite a bit to drink last night. Is she alright?”

Unexpectedly, he had already hung up.

She threw her phone onto the desk, sucering as she wondered about what transpired between him and Emmeline during that phone call last night. She couldn’t help but burst into laughter, anticipating that the couple was likely in a chaotic situation.

As anticipated, Kimberly had Ms. Maggie relay her message to Albus, instructing him to come to her house.

Emmeline had hoped that after a night had passed, her mother wouldn’t bring up the matter again, but to her dismay, there was no escape. Emmeline felt like her world was falling apart, retreating to her bedroom and weeping.

Abel kneeled in front of her, firmly grasping her hands as he spoke in a hushed but resolute tone. “Emma, as long as you’re willing, I won’t care about anything else. I’ll take you away right now!”

Speechless and with a furrowed brow, she shook her head while sobbing. “No, I can’t risk my mother’s life. Even if we were together, it would mean nothing if something happened to her

Abel hesitated, then swallowed hard before urging, “Emma, this is our last option. Please reconsider. Come with me.”

She hesitated briefly but ultimately refused, saying, “Nol” She shook her head and uttered, “I can’t do it. I can’t gamble with my mom’s life!”

Abel sighed in silence.

Meanwhile, Albus arrived with an innocent smile still on his face. Yet, Emmeline couldn’t help but wonder whether that smile was genuinely naive or simply foolish.
