Chapter 813 You Need a Wife
“Victory is at hand!” Benjamin said happily. “I need to tell Janie this good news.”
“Don’t tell her,” Emmeline said. “I should go and visit her myself. I can see her now.”
“You visited her yesterday. You shouldn’t go again today,” Abel said.
“But I want to visit Janie. She needs someone to comfort her now,” Emmeline said.
“I can comfort her,” Benjamin said. “You shouldn’t be going anywhere now.”
“I feel fine. I was also thinking of paying the children a visit,” Emmeline said.
“You’re so busy,” Abel said. “Can’t you take a break just for one day?”
“Waylon!” Emmeline hugged Waylon’s arm. “Why is my husband so strict with me?”
“You can leave him if you don’t like it,” Waylon said as he draped his arm over Emmeline’s shoulders. “Why don’t you pack up and go back to Macsen Villa with me?”
Abel was speechless.
Emmeline quickly hopped over next to Abel and hugged his arm. “I’m not leaving my hubby!”
“See that?” Waylon pointed at Emmeline and said to Benjamin, “She’s flown the nest now. I shouldn’t have bothered to treat her in the first place!”
Benjamin laughed, which made Emmeline blush.
The three men went to the kitchen to make lunch, while Kendra helped out.
They were excellent cooks and competed against each other, and Kendra had nothing to do.
Emmeline sat next to the stroller and took care of Quincy.
Quincy had put on some weight, and she could stand up now. By the next spring, she would be able to walk by herself.
After lunch, Abel went to Ryker Group, and Benjamin went to Adelmar Group.
On the way to their separate companies, they talked to each other through the phone.
“Do
you have any updates about the Imperial Palace?” Abel asked.
“The police summoned a dozen Anthony Greens,” Benjamin said. “None of them were a match.” “Same here. All the suspects are proven not to be the owner of the Imperial Palace,” Abel said. “I’m suspecting that it’s a ruse. The owner’s real name isn’t Anthony Green,” Benjamin said. “I think so too. We shouldn’t be too focused on looking for someone named Anthony Green, Abel said.

“Let’s keep digging,” Benjamin said.
“I have another lead, but I’m not sure if I can find her,” Abel said.
“What is it?”
“Evelyn might still be alive.”
“Evelyn Murphy? How do you know she’s not dead?” Benjamin asked.
“Those from the Murphy family told me,” Abel said. “When Edmond, the eldest son, went to look for her body in the mountains, they didn’t find her or her belongings. That’s why I’m suspecting…”
“She got away?” Benjamin said.
“Yep.” Abel nodded.
“We should try to find Evelyn then,” Benjamin said. “She shouldn’t disappear into thin air. Even if she’s dead, we’ll have to find her body.”
“That’s right. We should look for her,” Abel said.
“Okay!” Benjamin nodded.
The call ended.
Waylon remained at The Precipice. Emmeline was telling him the story of that time she disguised as Emmett.
Waylon laughed at the appropriate places. He gazed indulgently at Emmeline.
“I didn’t expect you to be able to get closer to Abel after you disguised yourself as a man.”
“Yeah,” Emmeline said. “Abel was so interested in Emmett. I was even wondering if he’s straight.”
“Hahaha!” Benjamin laughed. “He’s straight alright, but he’s more reserved toward women.”
“Like you?” Emmeline stared intently at Waylon.
“Me?” Waylon smiled. “I don’t have any luck with women.”
Emmeline hugged his arm. “Why don’t I introduce some to you?”
“Go away!” Waylon pretended to be angry. “What are you planning?”
“Let’s see. I think you’re deprived of love, and you need a wife in your life,” Emmeline said.
