Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law novel Chapter 180

Chapter 180 Back Together?

Emmeline’s return to the café with Abel took Sam, who happened to look over, by surprise.

Sam found it hard to believe that Emmeline would be caught dead with Abel.

Did the pair get back together?

As if Abel was really here to inspect the landscaping, he went up to the platform.

“Ms. Louise, what’s the situation here?” Sam asked Emmeline in hushed tones.

“He’s here to check on Mateo’s work, and nothing else,” Emmeline replied.

“Seriously?” Sam was skeptical.

Emmeline glared at her. “What’s going on in your mind?”

Sam stuck out her tongue.

She refused to believe that Abel did not have other thoughts in mind.

“Emma, do you want to see if there’s anything else needing sorting out?” Abel’s voice came from up the ladder.

“Did you hear that? It’s purely for work.” Emmeline told Sam.

Blinking, Sam gave a nod.

As if she took Emmeline’s word for it!

Up on the platform, Abel wore a white shirt and rolled up his sleeves.

He took off his jacket and put it on the swing.

“I had a quick run-through, and Mateo is doing a good job. Can you look at the details and see if there’s anything else to be sorted out? I can let him know.”

Truth be told, Emmeline could not wrap her head around the field of landscaping.

To her, all it mattered was that the flowers looked beautiful.

The tiny details were the least of her concern.

Nevertheless, she went to take a look since Abel suggested so.

Suddenly, she found something moving in the flowerpot.

Emmeline pried the flower petals and leaves aside for a closer inspection.

“Jesus Christ!” It was a centipede.

Emmeline screamed at the top of her lungs before jumping into Abel’s arms.

Abel quickly secured her from falling and asked in shock, “What happened? What happened?”

“C-Centipede! Ah!”

The three things that crawled under Emmeline’s skin were snakes, centipedes, and leeches.

In short, it would kill her to see any of these three animals.

The one thing she had going was that she had not been scared to death yet.

“What’s scary about a centipede?”

Abel said while carrying her further from the flowerpot.

Emmeline looked like she had seen a ghost.

“I don’t want the garden anymore.”

Emmeline choked with sobs, “The centipede will come and eat me if I sit on the swing.”

“It’s no big deal. I can get Mateo to do some pest control.” Abel was caught between emotions.

“Does it work?” Emmeline clung to Abel like a monkey.

“Of course, it does. The soil has been added with pesticides, so you can get insects. All it takes is a little pest control. That’s all,” Abel replied.

Emmeline bobbed her head as color returned to her complexion.

She looked tenderly into Abel’s eyes. “Thank you for inspecting the garden. Otherwise, I’d be dead meat.”

Abel smiled. “It’s only a centipede.”

“To me, that’s a heavyweight killer there.”
