From afar, Benjamin noticed the two people standing outside of the âhotel.â
He saw Adrien take off his jacket and draped it over Emmeline. Thep, Adrien helped her get into his car.
The car drove toward him, splashing puddles on his car.
Benjamin lit up a cigarette and finished it before driving again.
On the other side, it started raining right after Abel returned to the Precipice from work.
Luca had already bought enough ingredients from the market to feed all twelve men for two days.
The team had grown to twelve after the two male janitors joined them.
Abel changed his clothes and went into the kitchen.
Luca had always kept the kitchen in impeccable condition.
Abel grinned and narrowed his gaze.
Haha, it feels like home now!
He could feel Emmelineâs warmth surrounding him. However, his heart nevertheless ached.
Two bodyguards were cleaning vegetables at the sink.
Ever since they learned how to help out in the kitchen, their relationship with their wives had improved.
The bodyguards concluded that a good husband must learn how to cook.
Abel put on the apron and rolled up his sleeves. He was already a pro at cooking.
It did not take long before a sumptuous spread was presented on the dining table.
The men sat down happily white Abel set up the cutlery for his subordinates.
âLetâs eat while the food is hot.â
The bodyguards and janitors felt their eyes grow moist.
Mr. Ryker is the best boss ever!
However, Abel sighed, which made the other men shocked.
âWhatâs wrong? Did you undercook the potatoes?â Luca was chewing on a piece of broccoli.
âNo. I think itâs better than yesterdayâs potatoes,â Abel said.
âWhy are you sighing then?â
âI thinkâ¦â Abel gazed at the food on the table. ââ¦it would be perfect if Timothy and the triplets get to taste my food.â
Luca swallowed the piece of broccoli.
Thatâs true. Itâd be a shame if Mr. Ryker canât show off his culinary skills to the people he cares for, especiallyâ¦
Iâm sure Ms. Louise would be envious when she finds out that Mr. Ryker isnât only a workaholic but also a family man!
Itâll be easy to bring Timothy over here, but what about the triplets? Would Ms. Louise agree to it?
Abel put his cutlery down. âI donât care. Luca, go and bring Timothy here tomorrow. Iâll bring the triplets.â
âWhat should we say to Ms.
Louise then?â Luca asked.
âDo I have to spell it out for you? I said I donât care!â Abel said.
âYes, Mr. Ryker!â Luca nodded.
If Abel did not care about what Emmeline thought, Luca did not care either.
The next afternoon, Luca brought Timothy to the Precipice.
Not long after that, Abel arrived at the Precipice with the triplets.
He had arrived at the kindergarten half an hour before Emmeline did, and he went straight to the principalâs office.
The triplets were brought to the office, and the principalâs mind was blown when he heard them call Abel âDaddy.â
He did not know that the triplets were Abelâs children!
âIâll get the deputy finance director to contact you,â Abel said to the principal. âRyker Group will fund the expansion and renovation of the kindergarten. Also, weâll fund a chef to improve the kidsâ menu.
Their meals need to be delicious and nutritious!â
The principal nearly fell to his knees.
Just like that, Abel successfully brought the triplets away.
At the Precipice, Helios gave a call to Emmeline. âMommy, weâre at Daddyâs home now.â
âDaddy? Which Daddy?â Emmeline was shocked.
