Ha, ha. I like this word. Abel was satisfied, so he smiled.

“Adrien Ryker, I’m not your wife. Watch what you say!” Emmeline was enraged.

“I-I…” Adrien was lost for words.

Oh, right, she said that I could be the father to the triplets but never her husband.

If I didn’t keep this promise, she would run away with the kids.

They will hide in the countryside for a lifetime. And my sons will end up being farmers!

He agreed with Emmeline because he would not want his sons to be farmers.

But seeing Abel standing right in front of him, he still felt that he had been betrayed by her.

Luckily, Emmeline explained to him, “Mr. Ryker is my tenant.”

She managed to calm Adrien down with her explanation; Adrien was about to throw punches at Abel.

He immediately recalled that Auntie Rosaline and Granddad kicked Abel out.

But he’s so suspicious, living together with Emmeline.

“You’ve nothing to do now. Thank you for your hard work; you may leave.” Emmeline took her electric bicycle from Adrien and asked him to leave.

“You’re not inviting me in for a seat? Can’t I at least get one cup of coffee?” Adrien was upset.

“The waiters were off work, so I’m not going to invite you in.” Emmeline replied.

“Adrien, goodbye.” Abel stood straight and sent him off.

“Hmph!” Adrien was displeased, but he helplessly turned away and waited for his bodyguard’s car. He left after a short while.

“It seems that something fishy is going on between the two of you.” Abel folded his arms and spoke teasingly to Emmeline.

“What do you mean? What’s wrong with me and Adrien?” Emmeline turned to look at him.

“What I meant was that biological parents are better for the kids.”

Emmeline understood what Abel was trying to say in a split second.

She then looked around and found a broom in the hallway. She took it and swung it toward Abel.

Abel would not expect that anyone would dare hit him with a broom in his lifetime.

He did not have enough time to react, so he was hit head on.

“H-Hey! What are you doing?” Abel shouted and jumped away from her. He was furious.

“Come on, fight with me if you’re going to taunt me. I shall teach you a lesson!” She held the broom with one hand, and she pointed her finger toward him.

“Am I wrong? You’re the kids’ mother, and he’s the kids’ father. Isn’t there something going on?” Abel responded.

“No way! I made it clear to him that he could be the children’s father but never my husband. He can stop having unrealistic expectations!” Emmeline hissed.

“Isn’t he perfect? He’s rich and charming. Many women are going after him.” Abel questioned her.

“You can marry him if you want! I’ll hit you again if you ever mention nonsense as such.” Emmeline’s cheeks were flustered.

“Okay, fine! I won’t fight with you anymore!” Abel was not as jealous as before after hearing what she said.

He knew it was not a good idea to make her angry, so he better stop challenging her limits.

It would not look good if he was bullying her right in front of Luca and his bodyguards.

His reputation would be gone because of bullying women.

What he did not know was that his reputation had been shaken.

Luca and the others were laughing uncontrollably the moment they saw him being hit.

Ha, ha, ha! Mr. Ryker was also fierce toward us! It’s so funny that he’s being hit now!

“W-Well, I did not have my dinner yet. Can I eat with you?” Abel touched his stomach.

“How is Timothy? You should be accompanying him at home.” Emmeline did not answer his question.

“Timmy is safe and sound. This is all thanks to Mr. Campbell’s speedy work.”

“That’s great.” She replied. Luckily, Mr. Campbell is capable.

“Do you mind if I bring Timmy here?” Abel pushed her electric bicycle into the hallway, and he asked.
