Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1435

“My mom is still in the dark, Emmeline disclosed. ‘She believes everything is going smoothly.”

With a concerned expression. Albus asked, “What would you like me to do then, Emma? Please, tell me, I’m all ears.”

She furrowed her brow and responded, “How can I possibly advise you on what to do? I came here simply to ask you not to reveal the truth to my mother.”

In a rush, he suggested, “Then, I’ll disclose everything to my mother, and we can return to the way things were!

Emmeline cautioned, “I want to be clear–I don’t have feelings for you. This was my mother’s wishful thinking from the start, so our prospects might not align with your expectations. For now, I just want to spare my mother the heartbreak.”

Albus face grew pallid, and he hung his head as he admitted, “I understand.”

“Then, why do you persist?” she questioned. “You shouldn’t have come to my house in the first place!”

With eagerness, he looked up and declared. ‘I have feelings for you, Emma. I’ve felt this way since the first moment I saw you. Please, allow me to cherish you for the rest of my life!”

Turning away to avoid his gaze, she softly expressed, I only wish to console my mother. We don’t have a future together.”

“What do you mean?” he asked with anxiety, ‘Is this a temporary plan?”

Emmeline briefly hesitated, reaffirming that the plan was indeed temporary. She clung to the hope that her mother would eventually overcome her depression, climinating the need for further insistence on this matter and allowing it to fade into oblivion.

“Forget it,” she said as she circled the chair and headed toward the door, “Let’s discuss this another day; my thoughts are all over the place.”

“Emma” He reached out to stop her. “Let me take you to lunch, please?”

“No, it’s not necessary! Emmeline replied, evading Albus hand.

However, her heavy handbag slipped from her grasp and hit the ground.

Snap! The zipper on the handbag opened, and two bundles of cash spilled out and scattered across the floor.

“Ah!” He was taken aback, and in his confusion, he swiftly kneeled to pick up the money.

At that moment, the office door swung open, revealing a beautiful woman in her mid–twenties. The scattered cash also astonished her, and her eyes sparkled. “That’s a lot of money!”

Twenty–three thousand was the equivalent of two years‘ salary for an ordinary worker at Altney Steel at that time.

Albus swiftly gathered the money and handed it to Emmeline, apologizing. “I’m truly sorry, Enuna. It was completely unintentional.”

She remained silent, discreetly returning the money to her handbag, and exited the office.

He hurried after her, calling. “Emma, let me treat you to a meal on another day!”
