Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1458

When Alana couldn’t reach Emmeline and received only a busy signal, she turned to Albus and complained, “What kind of man doesn’t have the respect of his fiancée? She won’t be back for a few more. days.”

Albus stuttered, “Emmeline is an ambitious woman. It’s only natural for her to be busy with work.”

Giving him a sideways glance, she said, “Let me remind you of something. Emmeline is quite remarkable. She has many suitors vying for her heart. You’re not even good enough for her. If you’re not careful, someone might steal her away.”

Her words frustrated him, and he protested, “We’re getting engaged soon. There won’t be any problems in the future.

She simply sneered. “Anyone can ruin a sure thing. Not to mention, you’re dealing with a woman like her.”

“What do you mean?” He frowned. “What’s wrong with Emmeline?”

“She doesn’t like you, and she’s only following her mother’s wishes. Moreover, she has feelings for someone else.”

“What?” Albus‘ eyes filled with hatred as her words struck him. His face turned red with anger. Who is the guy?”

“I don’t know.” Alana fueled the fire. “But I’ve heard that he’s wealthy and influential. He’s a capable man, much better than you.”

Albus face turned pale at her insults, then his checks flushed with anger as he argued. “I might be incompetent. However, she’s engaged to me. Therefore, she shouldn’t be playing around with me. Otherwise, she’ll learn that I’m not someone to be messed with.”

The next morning, after finishing his IV treatment, Abel took Emmeline for a drive. He parked the car in front of a jewelry store.

She immediately understood his intention and felt a tug at her heart. The next moment, tears blurred her vision.

“That’s not necessary.” She sniffled. “Spending money on someone to make them look good.”

“But it’s you. You’re not just anyone.” Abel said. Tm doing this for you, not for Albus.

After parking the car, he held her hand, and the pair entered the grand building.

Even though Emmeline was surrounded by jewelry, she frowned, not feeling the enthusiasm to shop.

She walked around the shop until Abel urged her to choose a set of jewelry. Eventually, she picked a set of pure gold accessories, consisting of a necklace, a ring, and a pair of earrings.

She must admit that she didn’t put much thought into the designs as she had something on her mind. The details were the last thing she was worried about at the moment.

Besides, she wouldn’t wear these accessories in her daily life. She would only wear them for show during the engagement ceremony.

On the other hand, Abel lingered in front of the counter that showcased the diamond platinum ring.

According to Altney customs, the couple didn’t need to purchase engagement rings, as the groom’s family would prepare a golden ring, a golden bracelet, and a golden necklace for the bride.

He deliberately chose a ring named Love for A Lifetime for her.

He took Emmeline’s hand and carefully placed it on her ring finger.
