Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 789

Abel set Emmeline down on the sofa and took the invitation from her. Upon opening it, he saw that it was for Adam’s birthday tomorrow,

“Heh.” He could not help smiling faintly. “I completely forgot about this.

“What is it?” Emmeline asked, a brief flicker in her clouded eyes. “What did Adam send over?”

“An invitation,” Abel replied. “Tomorrow is his birthday; he’s invited us to the banquet.

“Then should I go?” Emmeline tilted her head questioningly. “After all, I can’t see anymore.”

“You still have your husband to look after you, right?” Abel lightly pinched her cheek. “Come with me, otherwise there’s nothing there to hold my interest.”

“You want me to go so I can be a protective ward and fend off any sultry sirens, is that it?” Emmeline teased. “Just so you won’t have any clinging vines hanging onto you and trying to seduce you away?”

“None of them will ever manage that.” Abel fondly slipped an arm around Emmeline’s shoulders. “But I do want them to beat a hasty retreat once they see how beautiful my wife is. Who’s going to be shameless enough to try and be a clinging vine after that?”

Emmeline laughed. “Well then, I’ll gladly be your protective ward. Alright, I’ll come with you.”

“Thank you, sweetheart.” Abel dropped a quick kiss on her cheek.

Emmeline tried to slip her arms around his neck, but he evaded her and pretended to get a glass of water. “What are we going to give Adam as a present, though? I’m afraid I can’t go and buy a gift since my eyesight’s gone…” She asked.

“Leave that to me,” Abel answered. “I know what he likes.”

“Alright then.” Emmeline held out her arms to Abel. “Let’s go upstairs. I’m very tired.

Abel picked her up and gently carried her to the third floor. Emmeline listened to their footsteps they went up the stairs and asked doubtfully, “Something’s not right; this isn’t the second floor, is it?”

Abel chuckled. “Silly; have you forgotten that we’re remodeling the second floor so you can have a walk-in closet?”

“Oh, that’s right!” Only then did Emmeline recall these plans. “No wonder I heard so much activity once we came in.”

Once they reached the third floor, Abel carried Emmeline into the guest room and set her down on the bed, pulling the covers over her. He then poured her a glass of warm water and carefully put it into her hands so she could drink on her own. “I’m going down to supervise the construction work for a bit. You rest up, alright?” He gently stroked her hair.
