âOf course!â Rosaline said it with a smile. âWhen Abel gets married, he has to ask Madam Steiner to visit once more.â
âBut Iâve heard that Abel has a wife and kids. Why isnât he married yet?â Michaela asked, acting worried.
Rosaline replied, âAt first, our families were prepared. However, there was a mishap. The ceremony was postponed. I thus doubleâchecked the calendar and discovered that this year there was no suitable day, so I postponed it.â
âHuh,â Michaela mocked, âLouiseâs family is only a small family; they can just be married casually. Why are you giving it so much thought?â
Rosalineâs face drooped in disgust as she said, âOur Emma is not the daughter of a small family, sheâ¦â
Lewis grabbed Rosalineâs hand and said, âDonât just stand there and talk. Madam Steiner, please go inside.â
Lewis interrupted Rosaline while she was speaking, and she was surprised for a second. She quickly shut her mouth. There was no need to reveal Emmelineâs identity or background to these people. It was foolish to start a quarrel!
Rosaline greeted Michaela with a pleasant âThen letâs sit inside,â she said, adding, âPlease come in.â
Michaela muttered as she turned around and stepped in with Rosaline, saying, âWhat a pity! I recall Sonia and Abel being a wonderful match for each other five years ago.â
âThat was all before,â Rosaline remarked. âWe grownups cannot meddle in the affairs of the kids. Let it go.
Michaela mumbled, âBut I heard that Abelâs children are almost five years old.â Michaela stated this lightheartedly, but in actuality, she said interrogatively, âIf thatâs the case, wouldnât Abel have had an affair while he and Sonia were dating?â
âAs far as I know, Abel made it clear that he and Sonia are not compatible.â Rosaline scoffed icily.
âOscar was informed of this issue before he went abroad.â
âBut considering the childâs birth timeâ¦,â Michaela deliberated, âEmmeline intervened in Abel and Sonia. Didnât Abel and Sonia separate then, and then Emmeline got pregnant? Rosaline, I should be correct, right?â
ââ¦â Michaela was trying to stir trouble, and Rosaline couldnât help but lose a little of her composure.
If she refused to acknowledge it, she would have to confess to Michaela that Abel was fooled by Alana.
But she couldnât say anything because it was for her sonâs privacy.
If she kept silent, she would be admitting that Abel was having an affair with Emmeline. Itâs difficult to say for both reasons.
Lewis, however, burst out speaking, saying, âMadam Steiner, the young master of the Ryker family, is youthful and suave, and there is nothing wrong with making an ignorant move. Additionally, Abel didnât desert her and accepted responsibility for his mistakes. He is considerably superior to others who donât take responsibility.â
Michaela was surprised when she heard this. Lewis admitted what Abel had done. What else could she do? Wasnât it typical for an affluent son to have a sexual relationship with a gorgeous woman? Abel was reliable, responsible, and already stood out among the youngsters.
Michaela was at a loss for words when she realized she had lost the quarrel. Parents did a great job of defending their kids! She was powerless to talk back, even if she wanted to.
âGrandad, Granny!â
âWe are here!â
âWow, itâs alive.â
âThere are so many balloons!â
Emmeline and Abel arrived with Timothy, Sun, Moon, and Star. The quadruplets ran over to Lewis and Rosaline. The quadruplets followed their grandparents every day because they were the best grandparents in the world. They hadnât seen one another in a while, and they were already greatly missing their grandparents.
When they heard the quadrupletsâ voices, Lewis and Rosaline looked up in shock.
