Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 698

Chapter 698 Settling the Score with Evelyn

After the maid left, Adam helped Emmeline sit up in bed. He then brought a small bowl and said softly, “Let me feed you something.”

“I can do it myself,” Emmeline refused.

“Can your eyes handle it?” Adam said patiently. “You can’t even see the bowl and utensils.”

Emmeline hesitated.

“Let me do it,” Adam said. “Just think of me as a friend.”

“If you want to be my friend, then you should take me home,” Emmeline said coldly. “Not leave me here like this!”

Adam took a deep breath and remained patient. “Once Mr. Emmeline is feeling better, I will take you home,” he said.

“Can I trust you?” Emmeline asked.

Adam nodded. “You can trust me.”

Trust my ass!

He thought to himself, I’m the one who decides if you’re feeling better or not!

“Good,” Emmeline said, unaware of the man she was dealing with. She nodded and added, “I hope Mr. Green keeps your word.”

“Come on, have some food,” Adam said as he scooped up a piece of broccoli with a spoon and brought it to Emmeline’s lips.

“Good girl, open your mouth,” he coaxed.

Emmeline hesitated but then obediently opened her small mouth, and Adam gently placed the spoon- inside.

It had been two days since she had last eaten, and Emmeline never realized how delicious food could be until now.

She polished off a bowl of herby broccoli and pea soup, savoring every last bit.

Adam took the bowl and spoon away and watched as a faint blush spread across Emmeline’s cheeks. He felt a warmth in his heart that he couldn’t explain.

A surge of tenderness flowed through his chest, and for the first time, he felt a sense of genuine softness.

Adam felt like he was experiencing this feeling for the first time. The sense of tenderness frightened him, causing him to jump out of his chair suddenly.

Hearing the chair make a noise, Emmeline asked, “Mr. Green, is everything alright?”

“It’s nothing,” Adam said. “I’m just happy to see you’ve finished eating. I was going to get you another bowl.”

“I’m full, thank you,” Emmeline said, pleased with herself. “Either way, thank you for everything”

As soon as Emmeline said those words, Adam froze in place beside her bed.

Emmeline had actually thanked him?

Oh my god!

Once he reached the living room, the servant took the bowl and spoon from Adam with his head down. Their normally cold and forbidding master had become so gentle that he was feeding a woman by hand. It was like the sun rising in the west.

Wait a minute!
