“As early as possible,” Lewis advised. “Abel and I both agree that it’s best to do it within this month.”
“Of course,” Rosaline smiled. “I was thinking the same thing.”
“After we’re married, you’ll have to call me ‘husband,'” Abel whispered in Emmeline’s ear.
Emmeline let out a soft “mmm” in his embrace.
“Hahaha!” Abel burst out laughing with joy.
The Quadruplets were also jumping with excitement. “Wow, this is great! We can finally have a toast at Daddy and Mommy’s wedding!”
“And we can be Daddy’s groomsmen!”
“But what about the bridesmaids? Who will be the bridesmaids?”
“I’ll be a groomsman with Helios, Endymion, and Hesperus can dress up as little girls and be Mommy’s bridesmaids,” Timothy suggested.
“I think that works,” Endymion agreed. “I wouldn’t feel comfortable with anyone else being Mommy’s bridesmaid.”
“I agree too,” Hesperus raised her chubby little hand. “Just dress me up as a little girl, I don’t mind.”
“Thank you, my babies!” Emmeline exclaimed with joy, squatting down to kiss each of her children’s faces.
Abel also lifted each of the children up high in celebration.
The entire hall was filled with joyous sounds and a festive atmosphere.
But suddenly, Rosaline let out a sigh.
“What’s wrong, Mom? Why the sudden sigh?” Abel asked.
“It’s just that while we’re all happy and joyous here, it’s so miserable for Aunt Julianna and her family,” Rosaline said.
“What happened to them?” Abel asked with a hint of anger. “Hasn’t Aunt Julianna and her family suffered enough with everything Adam has done? I just didn’t have the evidence to expose him to Grandad.”
“It’s a battlefield out there,” Lewis said. “You need to watch out for your older cousin, Abel.”
“Don’t worry, Dad. I’ve got it covered,” Abel nodded.
Adam isn’t someone to be underestimated. He always had two faces, one for the public and another for the shadows. He’s been like that since he was a kid.
