âI can eat by myself,â Emmeline refused Abel.
Abel had already brought the food to her mouth. âEat a piece of veggie. Itâs tender.â
Emmeline flushed instantly.
Why does he do this in front of everyone? Especially with Evelyn here.
âMommy, open your mouth,â Timothy said, âItâs Daddyâs love.â
âThatâs right, Mommy.â Helios giggled. âIâm so envious!â
âDaddy always dotes on Mommy,â Endymion said, âBut weâre happy to watch this.â
âYes.â Hesperus nodded. âDaddy and Mommy love each other! Weâll be happy forever!â
âEat it.â Abel smiled slightly. âOr you want me to feed you with my mouth?â
âNo!â
Emmeline blushed. She quickly ate the veggie.
âGood.â Abel smiled dotingly and immediately picked up a piece of chicken. âOne more bite.â
Emmeline obediently ate it again.
Evelyn watched from the side, and her face darkened.
I shouldnât have stayed for lunch. Iâm like a fool to watch Abel and Emmelineâs affection. Didnât they say that Abel has no feelings for Emmeline?
Evelyn suddenly had a guess. Maybe Abel did it on purpose to reject me?
After eating lunch, Evelyn still felt something was wrong.
Just after Emmeline coaxed the quadruplets to nap, she came downstairs. Evelyn went to take Emmelineâs arm.
âEmma, how about we walk in the garden?â
Emmeline glanced at Evelyn quietly, then smiled. âOkay, I want to take a walk too. I ate too much.â
âYouâre not eating much,â Evelyn said sourly, âBut being fed too much by Mr. Abel.â
Emmeline smiled embarrassedly.
Evelyn was right. Abel almost fed Emmeline every bite of food. That was why Emmeline was so full.
Soon, they walked to the garden.
Emmeline said, âYou must have something to tell me, right?â
âYou guessed it right.â Evelyn answered, âI want to discuss something with you.â
âWhat can we discuss?â Emmeline was confused. âI think you found the wrong person.â
âWhy is there nothing?â Evelyn said, âThere is Mr. Abel between us.â
âAbel?â Emmeline asked in surprise, âWhat does Abel have to do with you?â
âDid you forget we were engaged?â
âThat was all in the past. Abel refused it,â Emmeline said, âNow, Abel and I, and the quadruplets, are a family.â
âBut you two are not married yet.â
Emmeline froze. They were supposed to get married, but it seemed out of the question now.
âDid Mr. Abel never talk about marrying you again?â
Emmeline remained silent.
âDo you know why Mr. Abel didnât mention marrying you?â
âWhy?â
âIsnât that obvious?â Evelyn raised her eyebrows. âMr. Abel has taken the medicine and has no feelings for you. Iâm the one he likes now. Thatâs why Mr. Abel wonât mention marriage to you. Although Mr. Abel fed you during the meal, that was because he was embarrassed. I told him not to be too indifferent to you. After all, youâre the mother of quadruplets. He showed his concern for you to make you not too sad.â
Emmeline turned pale, and her heart gradually pained. She also felt Abel did not love her anymore.
Why did he treat me so well?
With Evelynâs explanation, everything made sense.
It turned out that Abel was embarrassed!
