Emmeline stuck her tongue out at Abel.
Abel had no choice but untied her.
âIt hurts!â Emmeline pouted and rubbed her wrist. âIâm bruised.â
Benjamin hastily picked up her wrist and found some strangle marks. He felt distressed, then blew her wrist gently.
While blowing, he comforted her, âIt doesnât hurt. Itâll be fine soon.â
Abelâs expression turned gloomy.
Seeing the bruises on Emmelineâs wrist, Abel also felt a little distressed. But he did not want to show emotion, or Emmeline might think he was in love with her.
However, Benjamin still did not stop. He kept blowing and stroking Emmelineâs wrist and pampering her with all his might.
Abelâs expression became darkened. âBenjamin, enough!â
âWhat do you mean?â Benjamin held Emmelineâs hands without looking at Abel.
âAlthough I donât love her, she is my woman!â
Abel hugged Emmeline and scolded Benjamin, âDonât you think itâs unsuitable for you to touch my womanâs hands?â
âIâve known Emma for a long time,â Benjamin said, âWeâve always been like this. Donât get us wrong!â
âThe past was the past,â Abel said sternly, âBut now she is my wife, so you have to keep a distance from her. Donât you understand?â
âOf course I understand! But you donât love her!â
âWhether I love her or not, thatâs our matter. Youâre an outsider. Donât get involved.â
Benjamin was speechless.
Abel hugged Emmelineâs shoulder. âSweetheart, go and change. Letâs go out together.â
âAbel.â Emmeline leaned against his shoulder. âYou finally admit Iâm your sweetheart?â
âItâs just an identity,â Abel answered, âItâs only a title. It has nothing to do with feelings.â
Emmeline felt disappointed. She pouted in displeasure.
âHurry up to change your clothes.â Abel rubbed her head and glanced at Benjamin. âFollow me to Levan Mansion. To make someone give up.â
Emmeline reluctantly nodded.
Benjamin shrugged helplessly. Abel said he didnât love Emma but was still overbearing. My stimulation seems to have had some effect.
An hour later, Abel brought Emmeline into the Levan Mansion.
The quadruplets rushed to Emmeline. Daisy followed behind while tears welling up in her eyes.
âMommy, youâre back!â
âMommy, we miss you!â
âMommy, I want a huggie!â
âMommy, weâll never leave you again!â
Emmelineâs eyes blurred, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
âMy babies, I miss you all too!â Emmeline squatted and hugged her children.
âMy babies, I miss you⦠I almost canât see you. I finally see you! Weâll never be apart againâ¦â
Five of them hugged and cried together.
âMs. Louise.â Daisy wiped away her tears. âYouâre finally back! Iâm so worried about you, but I dare not ask anything.â
âIâm fine. My children have troubled you during this time.â
Emmeline held Daisyâs hand. âThanks to you staying here, or Master Robert wouldnât be at ease.â
âMaster Adelmar told me to take good care of the children, or I canât go back in the future.â
âFortunately, itâs all right now.â Emmeline smiled with tears in her eyes. âMaster Robert wonât blame you. Iâm the one who got you and Sam involved.â
âWe failed to protect you,â Daisy said, âThatâs why Master Adelmar is angry at us.â
