Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 597

Emmeline frowned as she tried her best to move as naturally as she could.

However, it was evident that every step was uncomfortable for her.

“This is all your fault. I can’t even walk properly now!”

Revealing a playful smile, Abel leaned next to her ear and said, “This is punishment for trying to trick me. If you do it again, I’ll make it even worse next time!”

“…” Emmeline pouted as she glared back at him, rebuking, “How can you be this happy about my misery when you’re the reason behind it?!”

“Oh, but…” Abel continued to whisper soft nothings by her ear, “I still want to go on.”

Emmeline’s cheeks reddened instantly and she gave Abel a hard pinch.

“Ouch!” Abel yelled.

His voice attracted the attention of the two guests in front.

It was the Murphy siblings from Altney, Flynn and Evelyn.

Realizing it was Abel and Emmeline, the two of them came to a halt.

“Mr. Abel, it’s been a while,” Flynn said as he reached for a handshake.

Abel let go of Emmeline’s hand and reciprocated the gesture out of courtesy.

“Mr. Flynn, long time no see.”

Without Abel’s support, Emmeline found it difficult to keep her balance.

Evelyn quickly went over and helped her up.

“I was wondering why Mr. Abel was supporting you the whole time. It seems like you’re hurt?”

“Yeah,” Emmeline awkwardly nodded her head before she corrected herself, “No, that’s not exactly it.”

“If that’s not the case, then I can’t imagine Mr. Abel wanting to help you.” Evelyn lowered her voice and said, “He told me that he doesn’t love you anymore.”

Emmeline smiled softly, “Is that so? I couldn’t tell.”

Evelyn replied, “That’s because he doesn’t want to hurt you. Mr. Abel is such a gentleman.”

Emmeline pretended to be hurt, “So that’s why. I’m so sad.”

Evelyn’s tone was gentle, but her gaze carried malice as she said, “Don’t be. The heart is a fickle thing, after all.”

Emmeline said, “But he told me that he was going to marry me yesterday.”

Evelyn said, “How is that even possible? Liz told me that you didn’t even know what to do with your wedding dress.”
