“Yes.” Evelyn smiled stiffly. “No one thought that Emmett was Emmeline. I was surprised too.”
“Me too.” Rosaline nodded. “The rumors about Abel are gone. Emmeline and Abel are just joking around. Those reporters were too bad to slander Abel!”
“You’re right.” Evelyn smiled awkwardly. “Emmeline and I are good friends. I haven’t had time to greet her yet.”
“You can wait until she’s free,” Rosaline said, “I hear you’re here to deliver an invitation?”
“It’s an invitation from my sister Lizbeth and Mr. Adrien.” Evelyn smiled softly. “Liz and Mr. Adrien are getting engaged. They asked me to send the invitation.”
“It’s good news. When is it?”
“It’s the day after tomorrow.” Evelyn took out the invitation and handed it to Rosaline. “The venue is the banquet hall of the Nimbus Hotel. Welcome to their engagement.”
“Of course.” Rosaline smiled. “Congratulations to Ms. Lizbeth.”
“Thank you on Liz’s behalf. Mr. Abel is back too, isn’t he?”
Rosaline nodded. “He’s upstairs playing with the kids.”
“Then I’ll go upstairs and greet Mr. Abel,” Evelyn said gracefully.
“Okay.” Rosaline nodded.
As Emmeline returned, Rosaline did not want Evelyn to be close to Abel again. Abel also had gone upstairs to hide from Evelyn.
However, Evelyn asked to go up and greet Abel. There seemed to be no reason to refuse her.
Hearing Rosaline’s permission, Evelyn went upstairs.
Soon, she saw Abel watching the quadruplets playing in the study.
Timothy and Endymion were programming in front of the computer, Helios was playing with satellite systems, and Hesperus was playing with toys.
Abel thought that his children were creative.
Just as he felt happy, he heard a clear voice at the door. “Mr. Abel.”
Abel turned and saw that it was Evelyn coming. He already hid from her but still met her.
