Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 516

“Abel,” Rosaline urged urgently, “quickly apologize to your father, his blood pressure is rising.”

Abel was also worried, as high blood pressure could lead to a stroke.

“Dad, please don’t be angry, I really don’t have anything going on in that department,” he said.

Lewis rolled his eyes in frustration and glared at his son. “Really?”

“When have I ever lied to you?” Abel replied.

“Then what about that boy…” Lewis trailed off.

“I do like Emmett, but I treat him like a little brother. He’s really fun to be around,” Abel explained.

“Are you sure there’s nothing else going on?” Lewis asked suspiciously.

“Nope!” Abel replied.

“But you slept with him last night,” Lewis pressed.

“We didn’t do anything, and we were both fully clothed,” Abel explained.

Lewis finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Never mind about the car money, it’s just a small matter. But you have to promise me one thing.”

“What is it?” Abel asked.

Lewis pointed at Evelyn, “Starting today, you have to officially date Ms. Evelyn. We don’t want the upper class of Struyria to think you’re a weirdo.”

Abel didn’t respond. He didn’t think of himself as a weirdo, even though he couldn’t explain why he liked that boy. He didn’t want to date Evelyn either.

“You don’t want to kill me, do you?” Lewis’ face was starting to turn red again.

Abel remained silent, not wanting to anger his father but also not willing to compromise on his own feelings.

“I’ll let you treat Ms. Evelyn as your girlfriend,” Lewis said. “I don’t want my future daughter-in-law and the stepmother of my precious grandchildren to be a man! Can you promise me that?”

“Of course, the mother of the four kids will be a woman,” Abel said. “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve never planned on marrying a man. It just doesn’t feel right for me.”

“That’s settled then,” said Lewis, pointing to Evelyn. “You can go for Ms. Evelyn. She’s a heiress from the Altney family, and you two even had an engagement before. It couldn’t be more perfect.”

Evelyn blushed and lowered her head in shyness at his words.

Abel stayed silent, deep in thought. He never really considered this option.

Rosaline chimed in, “You should just agree to your dad’s request and date Ms. Evelyn. You don’t want to keep his blood pressure up all the time.”
