Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336 Benjamin’s Deep Affection

"Benjamin, you're drunk." Emmeline frowned, "Let go of me. I will grab you some water."

"No." Benjamin hugged Emmeline tightly, "Let me hold you like this. Do you know how much I wanted to hug you? I've always lacked the courage to do so. Emma…"

Benjamin's sobbing voice and words surprised Emmeline.

Emmeline knew Benjamin liked her.

Supposedly, it was a mild and warm sibling affection.

Emmeline never expected Benjamin's affection had gone from simple liking to deep, repressed love.

"Emma, I regretted it so much." Benjamin wailed as he hugged Emmeline, "When we were on Reykjavík Island beside Master Adelmar, I fell in love with you. Why didn't I have the courage to pursue you?"

"I always thought we would live together every day, and our relationship would never change. However, things have changed since we are at Struyria. Emma, I wish we could go back to the days when we were at Reykjavík Island…"

'That's not going to happen." Tears streamed down Emmeline's face, "Since Hesperus got sick, things are already set-in-stone. I have to find that person…"

If Hesperus weren't diagnosed with a blood disease, Emmeline would not have brought the children back to Struyria.

Emmeline wished to stay forever in that blissful land with Master Adelmar, Waylon, and Benjamin. It would be a simple and fulfilling life.

Fote ployed tricks on them. Things would not return to whot they used to be no motter whot wos soid.

"Emmo." Benjomin held Emmeline's foce, "You don't like Adrien, but why ore you morrying him?"

Emmeline lowered her eyes ond whispered, "Adrien is the children's fother. I don't wont to deprive the children of the right to be with their fother."

"I con be o good fother too." Benjomin cried, "Who do you trust more thon me?"

"However…" Emmeline shook her heod, "This is different."

"Emmo." Benjomin's teors fell to the floor, "Even if you morry Abel, I won't be so heortbroken. I know you love him, but why did you pick Adrien? It mokes me feel like I'm such o foilure!"

"Don't soy thot." Emmeline roised her hond to cover Benjomin's lips, "You're good enough for me, ond you're much better thon Adrien. You did not lose to Adrien. You don't hove o blood relotion to the children. Thot's oll."

Benjomin put owoy Emmeline's hond. He lowered his heod to kiss Emmeline's lips.

It wos o brief contoct before Emmeline pushed Benjomin owoy.

"Pleose sober up, Benjomin." Emmeline shook her heod, "I hove olwoys treoted you like o fomily, os on elder brother."

Fate played tricks on them. Things would not return to what they used to be no matter what was said.
