Moon and Star also gathered closer and carefully inspected their father's face.
"Wow, I don't see any scars. Daddy is really cured."
"Daddy is still as cool and handsome as always!"
Star leaned close and kissed his father's cheek.
That opened the floodgates for Timothy, Sun, and Moon to do the same. Abel's face was covered with his sons' saliva.
Even so, he smiled blissfully.
Emmeline laughed when she saw that. Before she knew it, the four boys clambered onto her like monkeys and began to kiss her face.
She could only helplessly watch as the four boys pinned her on the sofa and kissed all over her face. Soon, her face was covered in saliva as well.
"Please spare me!" Emmeline stretched her arms and hugged them all at once, and they fell on the sofa giggling.
Daisy came over and said, "Boys, you should go upstairs and get changed. We'll have dinner soon."
Rosaline also said, "Your mommy and daddy bought seafood for you. We'll have seafood for dinner."
"Yay!" Sun was the first to clap his hands. "I miss the food we had in Reykjavik!"
"Yes, and Grandpa Adelmar too," Moon said.
"Uncle Waylon is a good cook too!" Star added.
Timothy looked at Emmeline curiously. "Can I visit Grandpa Adelmar in Reykjavik?"
"Of course!" Emmeline hugged Timothy. "We'll wait until Daddy is free, and we'll go to Reykjavik to visit Grandpa Adelmar!"
"Yay! I can't wait!" Timothy clapped his hands excitedly.
Lewis came over and asked, "Is Mr. Adelmar still living in The Precipice? Why don't we invite him for dinner?"
Abel said, "I was thinking about that. I'll give him a call."
"Please invite him over! I want to have a drink with him," Lewis said.
Abel took his phone and gave Waylon a call.
At the moment, Waylon was in Macsen Villa. He was glad to be invited. "Alright, it's very lonely to eat dinner by myself anyway. I'll go there and visit the quadruplets."
"Mm. We'll wait for you," Abel said.
Waylon glanced at his watch. He would buy presents for Lewis, Rosaline, and the quadruplets on the way there, and he would reach in one and a half hours.
In the meantime, Emmeline said to Rosaline, "I bought something for you, Mother. I wonder if you'd like it."
Rosaline was happy to hear that. "I'm sure I'll love anything you buy for me."
Emmeline took a jewelry box from her handbag and gave it to Rosaline. "Open it and take a look. If you don't like it, I'll get it exchanged."
Rosaline opened the box and saw a delicate diamond brooch inside. She recognized that it was the newest design from Bvlgari.
More importantly, it was very expensive.
Rosaline's eyes sparkled. "Thank you, Emma. I love it."
"I'm glad," Emmeline said happily.
An hour and a half later, Waylon arrived at Levan Mansion carrying boxes of presents.
He put the boxes down and hugged the quadruplets one by one.
"You're more handsome than ever, Uncle Waylon!" Sun started the flattery.
Waylon laughed and handed his gift to Sun.
"I think you're just as handsome as Daddy!" Moon said.
Waylon produced Moon's gift with some sleight of hand.
"Uncle Waylon, not only are you handsome, but you're also a skilled doctor!" Star tried a different tactic.
Waylon quickly handed his gift to Star.
Timothy remained standing in front of Waylon. He kneaded his hands and did not know what to say.
Waylon picked him up and placed him on his lap. "Timothy, do you like me?"
