âYou donât intend to marry me again, right?â Emmeline remembered Evelynâs words just now.
Abel was stunned for a moment. He had indeed forgotten about this plan.
Seeing Abel hesitate, Emmeline tried her best not to cry. âI knew it.â
âSo what?â Abel said, âDo you want a marriage without love?â
Emmeline recalled what Benjamin had said to Janie.
âI can give you marriage. But no love.â
Janie decisively rejected Benjamin. A marriage without love was worse than no marriage.
âI understand.â Emmeline smiled slightly. âAbel, you donât have to be embarrassed. Iâm not sad. Iâm fine. Iâll bless you.â
Abel frowned. He did not love Emmeline. But he felt irritable and uncomfortable when she said that.
It was very unpleasant for him to hear those words. Before he could say anything, Emmeline had already walked past him and left.
Suddenly, Emmelineâs phone rang. It was Janie calling.
Emmeline hastily picked up the call.
âEmma, where are you?â
âAt Levan Mansion. What about you?â
âIâm at Adelmar Group,â Janie answered, âForever Love said that the wedding dress you ordered is ready. They asked when you would go to try it on.â
âIs it necessary?â Emmeline sniffled. âYou know the situation between me and Abel.â
âYou two wonât delay getting married, right?â Janie said, âYou can cultivate the relationship with Mr.
Abel.â
âI remember Ben also said that to you,â Emmeline murmured, âBut Janie, did you accept him?â
Janie stopped talking. Benjamin did say that. If she wanted marriage, he could give it to her. As for feelings, they could cultivate slowly. But what if they failed?
So Janie rejected Benjaminâs offer of marriage. A marriage without feelings was like a tomb.
âThenâ¦â Janie said sadly, âWhat about the wedding dress? Itâs ready.â
âLetâs go see it,â Emmeline replied, âAfter all, we canât return it.â
âOkay. You can keep the wedding dress first. In case Mr. Abel regains his feelings for you anytime.â
âI donât think about that anymore. Iâm not hurrying to get married.â
âOkay then,â Janie said, âWhat time shall we meet?â
âThree oâclock,â Emmeline answered while looking at her watch, âIâll go now.â
âOkay. Iâll see you at Forever Love.â
âYes.â Emmeline hung up the phone, then went upstairs to get her bag.
The quadruplets were already soundly asleep with smiles. It was the happiest thing in the world for quadruplets when Emmeline returned.
Emmeline explained to Daisy and left Levan Mansion without telling Abel.
She first drove back to Nightfall Cafe, then to Forever Love.
At 3.00 pm, Emmeline met Janie on time.
âIf these things hadnât happened to Mr. Abel, he should have been with you,â Janie said sadly.
âYouâre right.â Emmeline sighed. âBefore the accident, he said he would accompany me to try on the wedding dress and wanted me to be the most beautiful bride.â
âThe world is unpredictable,â Janie said, âBut donât be discouraged. Things may turn around soon.â
âItâs up to fate.â Emmeline smiled. âGet the wedding dress first. Whether I get married or not, I can try on the dress.â
âThatâs right,â Janie replied.
The wedding dress that Emmeline ordered cost hundreds of thousands.
They were about to enter the bridal shop when they heard Adrienâs voice behind them. âEmma?â
Emmeline and Janie turned around, then saw Adrien coming out of the car while holding Lizbeth.
âItâs you?â Emmeline was a little surprised.
Emmeline was happy to see Adrien and Lizbeth together.
Lizbeth greeted happily, âEmma, Janie, how are you?â
