Emmeline counted on her fingers and realized they had just over thirty days to prepare.
âOkay, great Thank Auntie for me,â she said to Abel.
Abel relayed the message to Rosaline, who replied, âGood. We have enough time to prepare for it.â
Abel felt relieved. Once he and Emmeline were officially married, she could call him her husband without any hesitation.
âBut Abel,â Rosaline asked, âwhere are you planning to set up your home? You own several villas, donât you?â
âI think Iâll ask Emma,â Abel said, mentioning the locations of his several villas to Emmeline.
âI think The Precipice would be best,â Emmeline said. âItâs close to where the kids will be going to preschool.â
âOkay then,â Abel said. âWe can stay wherever you want for a few days, and Iâll have the childrenâs rooms decorated to their liking.â
Emmeline nodded. âI actually prefer the western suburbs. You can see the beach from there.â
âIf thatâs what you like, weâll make it our wedding home,â Abel said. âWe can always go back to The Precipice after the wedding.â
Emmeline thought it over and nodded. âThat works for me.â
Abel told his mother they had chosen Macsen Villa in the western suburbs as their wedding home.
Rosaline was pleased and agreed, âIâll have someone go over and start preparing it.â
âThanks, Mom and Dad have been so helpful,â Abel said.
After ending the call with his mother, Abel looked at Emmelineâs face.
âWhy are you looking at me like that?â Emmeline blushed. âIs there something on my face?â
âThatâs not what I meant,â Abel smiled.
âThen what did you mean?â Abelâs gaze was making her feel uneasy.
This man always loved stealing glances at her.
âI was thinking, I should give my wife a big dowry,â Abel said.
âOh, thatâs not necessary,â
Emmeline shook her head. âYou donât have to do that.â
âNo, I canât let the etiquette slip,â Abel insisted. âItâs important to give a dowry.â
âExactly, Mommy,â Timothy chimed in. âYou canât get married without a dowry.â
âDefinitely not polite without one,â Helios added.
âA woman as amazing as Mommy deserves a dowry,â Endymion agreed.
âSo I agree with Daddy,â Hesperus said, âwe should give Mommy a big dowry!â
Emmeline laughed at the teasing of her four sons.
Abel said, âSee, if I donât give you a dowry, our sons will look down on me!â
âAs a man, you have to shoulder the responsibility, so you have to give Mommy a dowry,â Timothy said.
âMommy has been with you for a lifetime, itâs not easy.â
âAnd Mommy gave birth to all four of us,â Helios chimed in.
âMommy has also suffered a lot,â
Endymion added.
âSo Daddy canât let Mommy down,â Hesperus concluded.
âWe support Daddy!â
âThen itâs settled,â Abel said. âAltney, the company in Struyria, will be renamed as Emmett Group, and that will be the dowry for Mommy!â
âWow!â exclaimed Timothy. âThat must be worth billions!â
âA few billion at least,â Helios nodded.
âSounds good to me,â Endymion agreed.
âAlright then, itâs settled!â Hesperus concluded.
have to hand it to you guys,â Emmeline said. âBut if thatâs the case, then I also want to have a suitable dowry.â
âYou already have four precious sons, thatâs all I need!â Abel said, âThey are priceless treasures!â
âThen we, the four brothers, are Mommyâs dowry!â Timothy exclaimed happily.
âI agree!â Abel laughed, âI really hit the jackpot!â
Emmeline thought to herself that she would tell Abel before their wedding that her dowry was the Wonder Doctor, but for now, she decided to keep it a surprise.
Old Mr. Ryker didnât also encourage Abel to pursue Wonder Doctor?
Now itâs great, sheâs been directly brought into the family.
After dinner, Luca packed a special seafood meal to bring to Sam.
He had the bodyguards squeeze into the first two cars, while he drove a car himself, turning towards Nightfall Cafe.
Just thinking that he would soon see Sam made Lucaâs heartbeat âthump, thumpâ.
