Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law novel Chapter 369

Chapter 369 I Got Four of Them in One Shot

"I never intended to hurt Adrien," Emmeline said. "If he really is the father of the triplets, I would have been engaged to him by now and eventually married. But who would have known that it was all part of Alana's scheme?"

"It's not too late to realize it now," Julianna said. "It's better to avoid marrying Adrien and having three children that are not his. We don't want to raise someone else's grandchildren, do we?"

"You're right, Aunt Julianna," Abel said. "It's better to clear the air now and avoid any resentment between us."

"What makes me sad is that," Julianna sobbed, "I was so angry that I got a heart attack. Adrien is always at the Imperial Palace, indulging in wine and women. He doesn't even come home anymore. Why did I have to raise such a troublesome son?"

Emmeline lowered her head, feeling somewhat guilty even though it was Adrien's own fault.

She couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if she had married him and he turned out to be the triplets' daddy.

Emmeline couldn't help but wonder if Adrien would really change for the better or if he would just fall back into his old habits within two years.

The thought made her break out in a cold sweat.

"Emmeline," Julianna said, "can you do me a favor? Will you help me?"

"What is it?" Emmeline asked. "Just tell me, I'll do everything I can to help."

"Please talk to Adrien for me," Julianna said tearfully. "If he continues like this, he'll ruin himself."

Emmeline lowered her eyes.

"I know it's difficult for you," Julianna said, "but Adrien only listens to you. I have no other options left."

Emmeline felt uneasy about it all.

She had always felt uncomfortable around Adrien.

"Emmeline, please," Julianna said. "Don't you want to see Adrien turn his life around?"

"I..." Emmeline looked up at Abel.

He took her cool hand in his and said softly, "I'll support you no matter what you decide. Don't worry."

Emmeline pursed her lips and nodded. "I'll give it a try," she said to Julianna. "But I can't guarantee anything."

"Just promise me you'll talk to him," Julianna said. "I've spoiled Adrien for too long, and it won't be easy to change him overnight."

"I'll call him later," Emmeline said. "But first, your health is more important."

"I've been really sick this time," Julianna said. "I had a heart attack, and the doctors say even if I leave the hospital, my heart won't be the same."
