Chapter 101: Chapter 101

Emmeline was also happy as she looked at her cute and handsome sons.

A year ago, she had returned to Struyria under an assumed identity to search for her sons’ father. All that effort finally paid off.

No matter who the father was, Hesperus was finally cured.

Now that I’ve gotten what I came back for, I can go wherever I want, and no one can do anything about it! Hahaha!

I still have Abel to thank though.

While Emmeline was thinking about what to do next, Adrien arrived at the café.

Tears welled up in his eyes when he noticed the three cute children.

He went up and took Emmeline’s hands. “Emmeline, won’t you give me a chance? I’ll stop all my bad habits, and I’ll be a good father to the children and… á good husband.”

Emmeline pulled his hands away and smiled. “I told you before. You were no use when I had to save Hesperus, so you have no use to me now. Mind your manners, Mr. Ryker.”

“But I’ll protect you,” Adrien said. “I’m also a shareholder of Ryker Group. I’ll ensure a life of luxury for you and your children. It’s much better than selling coffee, right? That must be hard work.”

“Heheh. Selling coffee isn’t hard work. I quite enjoy it, actually,”

Emmeline said with a smile.

“Wouldn’t it be better to be my wife? I’ll make you the most envied woman in the entire Struyria.”

“Do you even hear what you’re saying?” Someone chuckled behind them.

Adrien turned around and saw Abel leaning against the door frame.

Abel was dressed in a low-profile yet extravagant black suit. His tall frame and icy demeanor gave him an air of royalty, and that made Adrien feel inferior.

He knew he could never catch up to Abel.

Grandfather is right. Abel is indeed the chosen one.

Even though Adrien felt defeated, that did not stop Abel scoffed. “Hmph, I’m renting a room here. What do you think?”

It was then that Adrien remembered it was indeed the case.

He finally understood it was not because Abel wanted some peace and quiet. Instead, Abel wanted to be closer to Emmeline!

“Heh, I didn’t expect you to be so relentless when you want to go after the woman you love!”

“That’s because I’m serious about this, and you’re only treating it like a game! It won’t be the same, of course.” Abel did not hesitate to mock Adrien.

Adrien was embarrassed. He shot a glance at Emmeline.

“I don’t really care which woman you’re going after, Abel, but… can you stay away from mine?”

“You mean Emma?”

“Who else?”

“I know you have at least eight women you sleep with!”

“But only Emmeline gave birth to my children!”

“So what about it?” Abel strode up to Emmeline and freedom to woo her!”

“Don’t you think you’ve gone overboard this time, Abel?”

“So?” Abel smirked regally.

Emmeline lifted her head and looked at Abel.

Abel sounded serious, but she was not moved. He still had a long way to go to claim her heart.

“It’s about time,” Abel said to Emmeline. “GO and get changed. I’ll take you to Ryker Mansion.”

“Mommy! Mommy!” The triplets called out to Emmeline. “You have to do your best. Daddy, you have to do your best too!”

“Hey! Who are you calling Daddy?” Adrien shouted.

“The one who donated bone marrow, of course!” Hesperus giggled.

“That’s right! According to our investigations, you failed as a father!” Moon said.

“You’ve been eliminated!” Sun said.

Adrien was furious, but he had nowhere to release his anger.

“You know how rowdy kids can get sometimes,” Abel said. “Why don’t you leave them to me?”

“Hmph! You… You… Argh!” Adrien left the scene angrily.

He was not going to lose his temper over those unruly children!
