Chapter 763 Who’s Jealous Now
Emmeline explained as she clung to Abel’s neck, “After I woke up, I couldn’t find anyone, so I walked out of the room on my own.”
She believed she was still in the Imperial Palace when she awoke. She felt afraid until she took in a scent from the bedding that she was familiar with. The scent was Abel’s. Emmeline’s thoughts became more upbeat at once.
That’s right! I came home yesterday. Abel, Benjamin, and Waylon had saved me and brought me home! Where is Abel?
“Hubby? Hubby?”
Emmeline called out to Abel softly. She got up and walked toward the door after not hearing any noise coming from the room.
“Silly girl, you should have called for me or Kendra,” Abel said.
“I was eager to give it a shot. I know the way around my own house.”
“But you can’t see, and you risk falling and getting hurt, just like what happened just now.”
Emmeline tilted her head and said, “I know, I’ll be more careful next time. I heard Waylon’s voice, is he here?”
Waylon spoke softly from the side, “Emma, I’m here.”
“Waylon!”
Emmeline slid down from Abel’s arm and dashed toward Waylon.
Waylon reached out and picked her up.
Emmeline laughed cheerfully and said, “Hehe.”
Waylon put her down and said indulgently. “You need to stop acting like a child! Stop acting cute! Abel might get jealous of us.”
Emmeline chuckled and said, “It’s pointless for him to be jealous of us! I’m still your little sister and not someone else’s, even though I’m eighty years old.”
Abel responded, “Ahem! Emma, you can rest assured that I’m not jealous.”
Suddenly a voice came from the door, “What about me?”
When Abel and Waylon looked up, they saw Benjamin had arrived with Janie.
“Ben?”
Hearing Benjamin’s voice, Emmeline jumped up happily and opened her arms. Benjamin ran over and scooped her up, spinning her around in his arms.
Abel coughed again. “Ahem! Should I feel envious of you two?”
“It’s up to you. Benjamin said with a chuckle.
“Haha, I don’t think I’m the only one who would be jealous, right?,” Abel added with a smile.
Emmeline blinked her hazy eyes and asked, “What? Who else would be jealous?”
“It’s Janie, of course,” Abel replied with a smile.
“I’m not jealous of Emma,” Janie responded as her cheeks flushed.
Emmeline jumped up in surprise and asked, “Janie? You’re back?”
Janie grabbed Emmeline’s hand. Her eyes had turned red, and she said, “Yes, it’s all my fault. I’m so sorry,
Emma.“
Emmeline laughed and comforted her, saying, “What are you talking about? I’m fine, am I not?”
Janie said with a choking voice, “Your eyes and the scar on your head, I feel guilty about this.
Emmeline patted her hand and consoled her, saying. “It’s all right now, Waylon is here. My scars and eyes
won’t be an issue.”
Janie wiped her tears and said, “Emma, you need to get well soon. I still want to attend your wedding with Mr. Ryker.”
“That’s a must! You can’t leave without saying goodbye this time, okay?”
Janie shook Emmeline’s hand and said, “Emma, don’t bring that up. I’m embarrassed about it.”
“Hahaha,” Emmeline laughed happily. She grabbed Janie’s wrist and felt her pulse.
“It’s great, the baby has such a strong vitality. It has to be a boy!”
“Can you tell that?” Janie was a little taken aback.
“You don’t believe me? Why don’t you ask Waylon to check your pulse?”
Janie said shyly. “That won’t be necessary. I’ll be happy, whether my baby is a boy or a girl.”
“It would be best if it were twins,” Emmeline teased.
Janie’s face turned even redder, and she cast a quick glance at Benjamin. He was expressionless. Janie’s heart sank a little.
Emmeline took Janie’s hand and asked, “Do you have a due date? I’m eager to be an aunt. When will the baby be born?”
“We still have a long way to go, she hasn’t been pregnant for very long.”
Janie was too embarrassed to speak up before the men.
Benjamin stepped in to save Janie from embarrassment. He said, “Emma, you need to let Waylon check your eyes now. All of us are worried sick about it.”
