Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law novel Chapter 1454

Chapter 1454

Emmeline returned to the Ryker Group building, but Abel was nowhere to be found. He was not in the office either.

Hasn’t he come back?

Emmeline sat on the sofa, anxiously waiting. What else could she do in this situation?

As the sky darkened, he still hadn’t returned. It was getting late, and Abel was still nowhere to be found.

Emmeline changed into her nightgown and sat on the edge of the bed, clutching her blanket, listening to the clock ticking second by second.

At four o’clock in the morning, the sound of the door lock echoed, followed by the living room light turning on with a ‘click. She ran barefoot to the living room and saw Abel, squinting against the light as if he hadn’t expected to see her.

“Emma?” Abel mumbled. “You’re back?”

Emmeline smelled the faint scent of alcohol as she walked up to him, then she saw his disheveled hair and the numerous colorful kiss marks on his neck. She pulled open his T- shirt to see them covering almost his entire chest too, and tears streamed down her face.

“Who were you with?” She frowned. “Alana?”

“It doesn’t matter anyway!” He laughed. “Does it matter?”

She raised her palm to slap him, but he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms as he was about to lower his head. However, she swung her left hand and slapped him on the cheek. Due to her injured wrist, the slap was not forceful, and she felt a sharp pain instead.

“Hmph!” Abel sneered, still holding her right wrist. “Now that you have a man, I’m not allowed to touch you, huh?”

“Abel!” she said hoarsely. “You have disappointed me so much!”

“Aren’t you the one who has disappointed me?” Abel snorted. “You can’t even fight back?”

“That’s what my mother wanted!” Emmeline whispered. “How can I fight against that?”

“So, you gave in and married Albus?” He sneered. “Will your mother be fine if you sacrifice yourself?”

Emmeline shook her head sadly and replied after a moment of silence, “All I want is to prevent her from getting sick and sent to a mental hospital, so I had to choose Albus. Consider it as me owing my mother my life!”

“I don’t believe in this nonsense!” He sneered at her. “You were raised lovingly by me since childhood, so I won’t allow you to sacrifice yourself for others. I definitely won’t allow any other man to compete with me either!”
