Abel was already done with his conversation before Kendra could say anything. He had already informed Luca where Kendra was. So, Luca rushed over immediately. After that, Abel gave Rosaline a call. “I need a driver, mom.”

“Why do you need a driver, Abel”? Rosaline was confused.
“I need the driver to send Ms. Murphy back. I don’t want others to stick their noses into my business!”
“…Abel.” Rosaline knew how bad things had gotten, so she said, “Look, I’m doing this for your own good.”
“Are you saying that sending that poor single mother away was for my own good?” Abel tried to remain calm as he continued, “What does this have anything to do with them?”
“They’re outsiders and it would be inconvenient for them to stay with you,” replied Rosaline.
“What’s so inconvenient about that?” Abel asked and continued, “I saved them and yet you wanted to send them to their own deaths? What is wrong with you?”
Rosaline was rendered speechless after that.
“Look,” said Abel as he continued, “I want Evelyn gone or else, I won’t mind sending her back to Atley!”
Rosaline was speechless because she knew that her son was capable of doing just that. So, she had no choice but to do as he said. Evelyn was sobbing her lungs out when the driver arrived to pick her up. It almost seemed like Abel absolutely detested seeing her around. She would always be humiliated by him.
“It seems that I am not fated to be with Abel. I think I should just return home to Atley. Let’s just call off our marriage then.”
Rosaline felt awful when she said that.
“You know, Abel never respected me as a person.” Evelyn sobbed and continued, “He’s always more patient with Kendra anyway.”
“Don’t give up now,” said Rosaline as she continued, “Let’s create more chances. Maybe one of them would spark some interest in him?”
“No way,” said Evelyn as she continued, “He wouldn’t let me anywhere near him. My existence would only anger him.”
“Don’t you have your kids?” said Rosaline as she continued, “Abel wouldn’t not care about them.”
“My kids?” Evelyn asked and continued, “What do you have in mind?”
“I’ll get your kids to have a playday at the playground this weekend. I’ll make Abel come along too.”
Evelyn nodded after pondering for a brief moment. She felt that the plan could work because her children would love to join her at the playground. They knew that the quadruplets knew her as their mother’s friend and would treat her well. That way, Abel would obviously be there for his children.
