Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 43

“What? Have you got nothing to say for yourself?” Alana smirked. “Emmeline, you’re the same easy woman as I remember.”

“She did not hit on me.” Following a curt voice coming from the back, an imposing figure presented himself at the door.

With tension running high in the café, the onlookers held their tongues and breaths.

Rumor had it that Abel was a ruthless and hardhearted man. He was not one to be scr*w around with.

“Abel!” Dumbstruck at first, Alana quickly cried wolf and clung to him.

“You got to stick up for me. Everybody saw what happened. She has Adrien’s children, but she lives with you. Is this not trying to get into your pants?”

“Abel?” Adrien furrowed his brows. “I can’t believe you really live here. What are you up to?”

“What am I up to?” Abel scoffed. “I’m single, and so is Ms. Louise. I doubt it’s against the law to live together.”

“Abel!”

The reply took Emmeline by surprise. As if things were not complicated enough, Abel’s comment was not helping with the situation at all.

“I’m only renting a room to you. That’s nothing going on between us.”

“Well, it doesn’t stop me from pursuing you.”

Abel put his arm around Emmeline’s shoulder. “I hereby declare that from this moment on, you’re my girlfriend. No one has the right to question my decision to be with you.”

Emmeline was thrown for a loop. What was the guy saying?

This was not the way to pull her out of the fire.

Things were heated as they were.

Despite her efforts to push Abel away, it was like she was trying to move a ton of bricks. Abel locked her tighter in his arms.

Adrien was not having it. “What’s the meaning of this, Abel? Are you trying to steal my woman?”

“Emmeline is not your woman!” Abel scoffed before asking Emmeline, “Are you?”

“I’m not!” Emmeline blurted.

“But she carried my children!” Adrien freaked out.

“That was a mishap. You hurt her. Count your lucky stars she didn’t sue you for the violation and take you to court.”

Adrien had nothing to say.

It was true that he had done a lot of terrible things when under the influence of alcohol, and innocent girls had been involved.

Emmeline must be one of them.
