Chapter 156 You and Alana Are in Cahoots
Benjamin hurried to the store and bought a good deal of nutritional supplements. He then walked with both hands full to the car.
As the vehicle rounded the bend, it proceeded toward the kindergarten.
Child seats had been installed in the back seat.
Benjamin lifted the triplets one at a time and secured them in their respective seats.
“Let’s make sure we’re safe, kids!”
Benjamin rubbed Sun’s head as he leaned against the car door before returning to the driver’s seat.
By the time they reached the Louise family’s villa, it was already half past six.
This was Emmeline’s childhood home, and it felt both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time.
This place evoked memories of her mother and the image of her brother dutifully tending to her during her formative years.
With effortless ease, the sight before her also stirred up the sorrowful incident where Maxwell had driven her out.
Tears welled up in Emmeline’s eyes, causing her vision to blur.
Benjamin could tell what was on her mind despite her silence.
“Everything that happened is in the past now. Today is the start of a new beginning. Don’t cry.”
With a compassionate gesture, he draped his arm around Emmeline’s shoulder to offer solace.
“Alright,” Emmeline said, nodding. “I don’t want to upset the triplets on their first visit to their grandfather’s house.”
“Good, now you get it. Let’s go.”
The pair got out of the car and grabbed the kids from the back seat.
“Emma, Mr. Benjamin!” Grace shouted from the foyer. “I’ve been waiting for you!”
After hearing that, Alondra hurriedly ran out of the living room.
“Mr. Benjamin, you’re here, and who might these be?”
Benjamin and Emmeline were walking over with the triplets and gifts in hand.
Ethan popped out wearing an apron and grabbed the stuff Benjamin was holding.
“Mr. Benjamin, you shouldn’t have troubled yourself.”
“It’s no problem,” Benjamin said, “We’ve come this far, so just think of us as family.”
“That is true. That is true indeed.”
Alondra exclaimed with great pleasure, “Mr. Benjamin really knows how to make us feel like family. Just look at these high-end supplements he bought for us!”
Then she smiled flatteringly at Emmeline, “Isn’t that right, Emma? It must have been very expensive.”
“Yes, he did not consider himself an outsider,” Emmeline said, nodding.
Ethan complimented Benjamin, saying, “Mr. Benjamin, you are so handsome today, and this suit you’re wearing also looks good.”
Benjamin’s gaze shifted towards Emmeline, and a faint blush spread across his handsome features.
“Should we address you as Nana?”
Helios tilted his head and looked at Alondra.
“I remember you pissed our mommy off before.”
Endymion also tilted his head.
“I remember now. You and Alana Lane are in cahoots,” concluded Hesperus.
Suddenly, Alondra’s complexion paled. She wore an embarrassed expression as she inquired, “What is this regarding?”
Emmeline said, “Sun, Moon, and Star. Children should not speak up about adults’ affairs. This is your grandmother. Come on, say hello to Nana.”
The triplets pouted, but they eventually complied and called out, “Nana.”
“Oh, what lovely children.”
It wasn’t until that moment that Alondra relaxed her expression.
“Go in with Auntie Grace to see your grandfather.”
Grace walked over and took the triplets’ hands, saying, “You haven’t met Grandpa yet, have you?”
“Yes,” said Helios, “Today is the first time.”
“I heard that Mommy got kicked out by Grandpa,” said Endymion angrily.
“That’s right. It was really tough for Mommy to care for all three of us!” Hesperus added.
Maxwell, who was in the living room, overheard everything and coughed loudly.
“Triplets,” Emmeline warned sharply, “Don’t open Pandora’s box!”
“Mommy,” said Helios, “We’re not carrying a Pandora’s box!”
“Yes, exactly,” chimed Endymion and Hesperus, “What box are you talking about?”
“Never mind, forget about it,” Benjamin quickly intervened, “The children are just talking nonsense. They have no clue what they’re saying. Don’t take it personally.”
He stooped down and lifted Hesperus, then clasped Helios and Endymion’s hands with his other hand.
Helios and Endymion walked beside Benjamin.
As they traversed the living room threshold, Maxwell stood before the sofa, tottering.
Seeing the mother and her triplets, he said hoarsely, “I am at fault for driving Emma out indiscriminately back then. In fact, I’ve always felt guilty for that.”
With her face turning red, Alondra lowered her head.
Back then, she had been the main culprit, and it was at her behest that Maxwell had acted.
Ethan and Emmeline were unbearable to her.
Even now, she still couldn’t stand being around them.
However, the siblings were no longer the same as they had been.
Furthermore, Emmeline now had the opportunity to become the young mistress of the Adelmar Group.
She couldn’t afford to pass up the opportunity to move up the social ladder.
She was no fool.
