Emmeline grabbed his shoulders and turned Adrien around. Facing his ride, Adrien ended up giving his sports car a hug.

“Emma, can’t I hold you? I’m the father of your children, you know!” Adrien got up from his car hood.

“Let me stop you there. Don’t bring that up again. I agreed to have dinner together as a friend. We can cancel dinner if you get other ideas. You can forget us being friends,” Emmeline replied.

“Okay. I won’t think otherwise. We can start with friends.” Adrien put his hands up in surrender.

“Okay. My bike is up ahead. I’ll head home for a change of clothes. Wait for me outside the café.”

“Alright!” Emmeline’s wish was Adrien’s command.

Just before pulling his car door open, he flirtatiously called out to Emmeline.

“What do you want now?” Annoyed, Emmeline looked back.

“Emma, put on something pretty.”

With a scowl, Emmeline was about to tell him to beat it.

Reading the room, Adrien swung his door open and jumped inside.

Emmeline rode her bike, traversing along the road.

Driving behind, Adrien tried to keep up, but he soon lost track of her.

It took fifteen minutes before Emmeline was back in the café.

She parked the bike in the garage and went upstairs to wash up before putting on a white dress.

By the time Emmeline arrived downstairs, Adrien had pulled up at the front.

He opened the glass door for Emmeline with a bright smile.

Emmeline gave him a skeptical look. “Why do I get a feeling that you’re up to no good?”

“No. I think you’re beautiful. Whatever you wear beats all the dolled-up women,” Adrien answered with a grin.

“Save the sucking up for someone else. Stop it before I change my mind,” Emmeline remarked.

“Of course, of course! I’ll shut up. I’m very well-behaved. I’ll do whatever you say.” Adrien bowed and scraped.

“Why are you still talking?” Raising a brow, Emmeline raised her hand.

Adrien put his hand over his mouth. He then waddled his way to the car and opened the door to the backseat for Emmeline.

He had asked the chauffeur to drive the extended Rolls Royce today, so he could take the kids for dinner.

Adrien even had children’s seats installed in the back.

“Emma, the seats will stay permanently in the car. I can do the school runs now. It’s safer,” Adrien looked at the children’s seats and blabbered.

“You have everything thought out, but I should remind you not to get any ideas about the children.”

Adrien was stumped. Despite his urge to speak, he noticed Emmeline’s grimacing face.

He shuddered, knowing that he should not rush into things. He should keep his cool instead of getting ahead of himself.

Adrien held back and swallowed his thoughts.

After picking up the kids from kindergarten, Adrien directed the car straight to Struyria Banquet.

The food there was on par with Nimbus Hotel. It was a great joint.

They were seated in a private room, and Adrien called the server to order Emmeline and the kids’ favorite food.

Sitting behind the table, Adrien could not stop smiling at Emmeline and the three children.

He lived his life as a jerk five years ago, and his misdeed gave him a beautiful family.

Although Adrien could not recall the details of his encounter with Emmeline, he had a family he could brag about for a lifetime!

Did he save the world in the previous life?

If Abel had known the truth, he would defend that he had saved the world instead.

Once the food was served, Adrien waited ingratiatingly on Emmeline and the kids.

He brought them food and poured them beverages with the biggest smile on his face.

The only thing that would have made his life better was if the kids called him daddy.

The kids addressed him by name.

“My dear children, I’m your real father, not Abel. You shouldn’t be calling him Daddy. He’s just your mommy’s friend.” Adrien scrunched his face.
