The Quadruplets Are Mine? novel Chapter 850

"Emma!"

"Emma!"

Lizbeth and Adrien simultaneously rose from their chairs.

"You guys?" Emmeline expressed her surprise, "You guys are here too?"

With a cigarette between his lips, Adam narrowed his eyes and remarked, "How can we have a meal without them tagging along?"

"Exactly," Lizbeth chimed in, "Adam didn't mention why he called us here, and now I know that he invited Emma."

"I didn't come for nothing," Adrien smiled, "I was thinking how dull this meal would be with just the three of us!"

"What do you mean?" Lizbeth appeared displeased, "Are you bored of eating with me?"

"How could I dare?" Adrien quickly apologized, "I didn't mean that either."

"That's when we're dining with Adam," Adam shot him a disdainful glance, "Don't you like it?"

"I'm even more afraid," Adrien responded, "I just think the three of us having this dinner feels incomplete. Now that Emma's here, it feels right, but what about Abel?"

Adrien turned towards Emmeline and inquired, "Why didn't Abel come along with you?"

"Abel isn't feeling well," Emmeline explained, "He's resting at home for a couple of days."

"You two don't know this yet, don't you?" Adam extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray.

"Well, she's now the president of the Ryker Group!"

Adrien was taken aback for a moment and quickly pulled out a chair for Emmeline.

"That's thanks to Abel's foresight. If he entrusted me with this responsibility, I couldn't even handle it,"

Adam glanced at him and spoke in a hushed tone, "Excellent!"

It was only then that Lizbeth noticed Emmeline holding a large, disheveled bouquet of roses and inquired, "Emma, what happened to the flowers?"

Emmeline grinned, "I haven't had a chance to throw them away yet."

"I'll help you throw them away," Adrien offered, taking the flowers and heading outside to throw them in the trash can.

Upon returning and preparing to take his seat, he noticed Adam's face had turned as dark as ink.

Adrien was momentarily stunned, as it had appeared quite pale just a moment ago. Why had it suddenly darkened?

However, Adrien did not have time to dwell on Adam, so he handed Emmeline the menu.

"Emma, feel free to order whatever you like to eat. It's on me today," Adam said, with Lizbeth and Adrien both present, making it inconvenient for Emmeline to leave.
