Emmeline’s heart sank. That was right. How would Alana carry a child without shagging up with Abel?

The man was a sleazeball.

It was a good thing the father of the triplets was not him!

“It shows Adrien to be more of a man than Abel.”

Julianna put her hand over Emmeline’s. “Emma, just say yes and tie the knot with Adrien. It will give the children a complete family. You will have someone to look after you. At the very least, you don’t have to work so hard at the café…”

Emmeline kept her head down. Did Julianna think she and her children’s livelihood depended on the café?

She was the boss behind Adelmar, a heavyweight in Struyria too.

Her identity as the Wonder Doctor could earn her millions on a single medical case.

Did she have it hard in life?

Come to think of it, she did. The two men, who lingered around her, were an annoyance.

“…I got a message from Adrien. He said he’ll become a one-woman man so long as you marry him. He will stop all the frolicking, stay by you and the kids, and focus on his career…”

By the time Julianna was gone, Emmeline was still reeling in the dilemma.

Since it was nearly time to pick up the kids from kindergarten, Emmeline hurried to the parking lot and drove her sports car out for the school run.

There was no need for her to fetch Timothy from another school, so it saved her the trip.

The Rykers had already picked Timothy up.

Still, Emmeline felt empty inside.

The little guy was awfully sweet to her. Would he keep this pretty mommy in mind?

Seeing that Abel and Timothy were not around, the triplets soon realized what was going on.

“Don’t be sad, Mommy. You have us.”

“Yeah, Mommy. Haven’t we always been with you all these years?”

“We didn’t have Abel and Timothy before. It doesn’t change the fact that we’re one big family.”

“Of course! I have you in my life, and that’s enough for me. I don’t need anybody else.”

“But Daisy has a point. It’s hard on Mommy to take care of us all on your own.”

“Mommy also needs a shoulder to lean on. You might want to consider Adrien.”

“The man is our biological father. We don’t have a problem if you’re happy to be with him.”

The triplets took turns in giving their two cents, amusing Emmeline to no end.

The kids may be young, but they seemed to know a lot.

Emmeline said, “I don’t need Adrien. I have everything with you kids in my life.”

“But you’re young and beautiful. You need a man. Doves go in pairs.”

“We will support you to be caught in a whirlwind romance, Mommy.”

“That’s right. You have our full support, Mommy.”

“Alright now. I’ll take your advice and let a man sweep me off my feet.” Emmeline shuffled the boys’ hair.

“We can be the judge of his character for you if you see Adrien as a potential man for you,” Helios said.

“I thought about that. We can move into his house,” Endymion chimed in.

“Oh, we can check out if Adrien’s mom makes a good grandmother and mother-in-law.”

“Gee. You’re getting way ahead of yourselves.” Her kids gave Emmeline a good laugh.

“Well, we always have to plan ahead.”

“We can’t fight uncertain battles!”

“We have to make sure we find the right person for Mommy.”

“Alright. Enough with the chatter. Wash your hands and come have your dinner.”

The triplets shut their traps and formed a line to the toilet.

The following day, Emmeline was on her way to drop the kids off at kindergarten.

She, alongside the child, walked out of the café, only to be shocked by the sight before her eyes.

There was a floral display of red roses at the entrance of the café, forming the word, love.

With a bouquet of roses in hand, Adrien shouted through a loudspeaker, “Marry me, Emmeline. I will make you happy!”

Emmeline had a facepalm moment. Had Adrien lost his mind?

Did she not just kick him out yesterday?

As Emmeline emerged from the café, Adrien was quick to catch her attention. “Emma, marry me. Please accept my love for you. I will make you the happiest woman alive.”
