Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 539

Kendra quickly went into the kitchen to grab another cutlery set for Evelyn.

“Abel, Auntie Rosaline made the stew herself. Here, have a taste,” Evelyn said as she scooped a spoonful of the stew and brought the spoon to Abel’s lips.

However, Abel got up on his feet as if he did not even notice Evelyn trying to feed him. “I’m full. Please enjoy the rest of your meal, everyone,” he said flatly.

Evelyn froze with the spoonful of stew still in her hand while Abel turned around and walked up the stairs.

“Umm…” Evelyn paled in embarrassment.

“Looks like you arrived at the wrong time,” Emmett winked at Evelyn.

“Shut up!” Evelyn lashed out at Emmett, shooting daggers with her eyes. “It’s all your fault! Why are you always hanging around Abel? Uncle Lewis and Auntie Rosaline asked me to pay Abel a visit because they were worried about him!”

“Why can’t I hang out with Abel?” Emmett asked indignantly, staring wide-eyed at Evelyn. “Who made those rules, huh?”

“Uncle and Auntie did!” Evelyn wailed in frustration. “They’re worried and unhappy that you’re always with him!”

“Why should they be worried? I don’t live off them, and I most certainly would not live off Abel. They have no reason to be worried!” Emmett smirked.

“Unlike you, Abel is the prominent head of an influential family! How can Abel always be seen hanging out with a man? His reputation is at stake!” Evelyn argued.

“Oh please, stop exaggerating!” Emmett said angrily. “Abel and I are just the best of friends! How is that putting his reputation at stake?”

“I’m sure you know about the rumors questioning Abel’s sexual orientation. What would people say if they see you always hanging out with him and being all touchy and affectionate with him?” Evelyn retorted.

“Let them say whatever they want to say!” Emmett huffed. “Those who question his sexuality have ill intentions in the first place! Would he have four adorable children if he was gay? What nonsense!”

Evelyn realized she had run out of arguments. Emmett had a point. A gay man could not possibly have not one, but four children of his own!

“Emmett’s right,” Kendra added. “Don’t listen to those nasty rumors! Abel is most definitely not gay.”
