In the end, Emmeline fell asleep with the remnants of her tears still on her face.
She only woke up at eight the following day.
âMs. Louise! Ms. Louise!â
Sam was shouting loudly outside her room, âAre you taking this engagement thing seriously or not?
Why are you still not up yet?â
âYeah,â Daisy chipped in, âIâve sent the triplets to school and come back, but youâre still not awake yet.â
Benjamin came down from the third floor, and he was buttoning up his shirt, âIf she doesnât want to get up, let her be. Isnât it better for everyone that she calls off that engagement?â
Sam and Daisy thought about his words and found themselves kind of agreeing to them.
If Emmeline wanted to sleep in, they should let her be.
However, Emmeline suddenly gasped loudly, âWhy didnât you guys wake me up earlier? Look at the time now!â
The moment she opened the door of her room, the three of them barged in.
Benjamin was the first person she saw.
âBenjaminâ Emmeline grabbed him, âIs is your idea? To stop them from waking me up?â
âWhy would I do that?â Benjamin was wronged, âI have just woken up too, you know. Didnât you see that I havenât even washed my face?â
âSo this is really not your idea?â Emmeline pouted and her brows shot up.
âItâs really not, Ms. Louise!â Benjamin spread out his hands.
âYou better not lie,â Emmeline fumed, âI know that youâre trying to ruin things for me!â
âMs. Louise,â Sam reminded her, âIf you still want to make it to the engagement ceremony in time, you better go wash up now.â
âYeah, sheâs right,â Daisy sang along, âI will go make some breakfast for you. Eat somé before you leave.â
âMs. Louise!â Someone called out from downstairs, âYour dress is here. Mr. Adrien is already waiting in the car here.â
âHey, the dress is here,â Daisy yelped, âYou better get ready now.â
âTell Adrien that I need an hour,â Emmeline said.
âAn hour?â Daisy refuted her, âIsnât your ceremony going to start at nine sharp?â
âSo what if we are going to be late for half an hour?â Emmeline frowned, âIs it such a great travesty that I have overslept?â
âYouâre always right,â Benjamin felt a headache, âThis is just an engagement, anyway. Itâs not like youâre going to marry for real now. There wonât be any problem if you are late.â
âGlad that you realize this!â Emmeline continued to complain as she disappeared into the washroom to wash herself.
So, an hour it was.
Adrien was in a merry mood.
He knew that women were always slow when it came to makeup and dolling up.
The women that he had gone out with in the past would take even longer to get themselves ready even though they were just attending some banquet.
Adrien did not mind to wait since most women that he dated were beautiful.
Or else, he would not even consider wasting his precious time However, things were sort of different today. He was waiting for his precious Emma today. Emmeline was going to be his fiancee, and she was going to be the other of his three children.
Adrien was happy to wait, no matter how long she was taking. As long as Emmeline would make herself look pretty and go into engagement with him, he was happy to wait for as long as possible!
As Adrien thought about how pretty Emmeline would appear to be soon, he could not help lavishing in joy. How did he end up with such good luck?
Not only he had three children now, but he could also marry a beautiful wife as well.
He must have rescued the world in his past life, and he was reaping what he had sowed in this life.
At the same time, Abel who was in fact the lucky one woke up from his short nap.
He checked his phone. It was already past eight oâclock.
He got up and went into the washroom to wash himself.
After making himself presentable, he saw that Kendra was in the dining room with her baby.
The baby was drinking milk, and her cheeks were all puffed up, which made her look adorable.
Abel felt a certain warmth flowing in his heart when he saw this scene. He could not help but feel comforted.
âMr. Abel.â
When Kendra saw that Abel had come down, she quickly got up with the baby still in her arms.
âI really have to thank you. You have saved me and my daughter. I repay you no matter what it will takes.â
âForget about that,â Abel replied, âIf you have nowhere to go at the moment, just stay here for now.â
âI wonât stay here for free if thatâs the case, Kendra offered, âI can be a nanny. I am good at doing house chores.â
âThat will do,â Abel nodded, âWe are lacking such a personnel, in fact.â
âHowever, I donât see Timothy around,â Kendra shot a look upstairs, âIs he not here?â
âHe stays in the Ryker Mansion,â Abel replied, âWith my parents.â
âI seeâ¦â Suddenly, Kendra looked nervous, âThen, where is Alana staying?
