Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 616

Food was served shortly after, and Benjamin, out of habit, tried to fill Emmeline’s plate with food.

Emmeline tensed up. “Ben, you’re going to make my relationship worse.”

“Sorry.” Benjamin smiled sheepishly. “I’ll try to change.”

“You do. And you know who you should try it out with? Janie,” said Emmeline. “That’s the right thing to do.”

Benjamin gave it some thought and filled Janie’s plate instead, and Janie blushed.

“She’s been working well lately,” said Benjamin. “This is her reward. I believe she has no need for a raise of her bonus.”

Janie almost spat her food.

Emmeline almost choked on herself. “What are you talking about?”

“Calm down, ladies. It’s just a joke,” Benjamin quickly said. And he speared a piece of meat for Janie. “Here. This piece looks great.”

Janie popped the piece of meat into her mouth, but then a wave of nausea overtook her. She held it down and said, “I need to use the restroom.” She got up and made her way to the restroom, and she leaned on the basin and threw up.

Or at least she wanted to. She came up with nothing but bile, and she went white. My period is late. Is this morning sickness? Her heart started to thump furiously. What should I do? What should I tell Benjamin?

A worried Emmeline came looking for her. “Are you alright, Janie?”

Janie quickly turned on the faucet and pretended to wash her hands. “I’m fine, Em. Here for a bathroom break too?”

“Just worried about you,” said Emmeline. “You didn’t look too good back there.”

“I’m fine. Let’s go back.” Janie smiled and wiped her hands on some tissue, then the ladies went back to the room.
