Abel looked up and said, âWe must never tell the children. They wonât be able to take it.â
Rosaline said, âWhy donât we let the four children stay in Levan Mansion for a while? Just tell them you are on a honeymoon with their mother.â
âThat works. I will find Emma and bring her back within this period.â Said Abel.
âYes. Letâs do that. Iâll go pick them up. You can rest here.â
Abel nodded and said, âAll right. Sorry for troubling you. Mom. Dad.â
Rosaline looked at her son with pity and said gently, âThatâs not something to be said to your parents.â
It pained Rosaline to see her son in that condition.
âWe will go to pick up the four children. Go back to The Precipice and take good care of Abel.â Lewis ordered Luca.
Luca replied quickly, âYes, Mr. Lewis.â
After half an hour, Lewis finally returned to the Precipice. Meanwhile, the four children and Daisy had been taken to Levan Mansion.
Kendra came downstairs to welcome Abel and Luca with Quincy in her arms. She was shocked to see Abelâs face. Fortunately, the blood on his suit was not obvious because it was a black suit.
âMr. Abel, whatâs wrong? You look exhausted.â
Abel did not reply. He fell on the sofa as he rubbed his forehead.
âWhere is Ms. Emmeline? Did she not come back with you?â Kendra looked around and asked.
âDonât ask that question.â Luca ordered Kendra softly.
Kendra was worried and wondered if something happened to Emmeline. However, she dared not ask any more questions when she saw how tired Abel looked.
âGo and make some food for Mr. Abel. He has yet to have dinner.â Said Luca.
âAll right. What about vegetable soup?â Kendra nodded.
Luca looked at Abel and asked, âMr. Abel, do you thinkâ¦â
Abel nodded. He had no appetite to eat anything. He would just eat anything Kendra prepared for him.
âIâll go make it immediately.â Kendra handed Quincy to Luca and said, âLuca, help me carry her. Daisy and the four children were picked up by Madame Ryker.â
Luca knew that. He still carried the baby even though he had a hard time dealing with babies.
Right after Kendra turned around and went into the kitchen, Quincy started crying.
âGood girl. Donât cry.â Luca panicked. However, it made Quincy cry even more.
Abel stood up from the sofa and said, âGive her to me.â
Luca was dumbfounded before he remembered Abel was the father of four children. However, he knew Abel did not really take care of his children as they were growing up.
Regardless, taking care of a baby was tougher than being a bodyguard for Luca. He could not stand the babyâs cry and gave her straight to Abel.
Abel took Quincy and put her in his arms. He lay her head on his chest as he carried her. He said softly. âGood girl. Donât cry. Be goodâ¦â
Then, Quincy stopped crying.
Luca was impressed with how Abel handled the baby. However, he realized that Abel was the one crying instead.
âMr. Abelâ¦â Luca felt like crying as well.
Abel sniffled and said, âEmma was comforting my sons every day just like this for more than four years.
Iâm such a jerk! I didnât protect her five years ago and canât protect her again now!â
âMr. Abel, this is not your faultâ¦â Said Luca.
