There, there.â Abel ruffled the tripletsâ hair. âI have a plan now. I will go and rescue mommy after three days.â
âThanks,Daddy.â
Thanks, Daddy.â
âMuah.â Star kissed Abel.
âYou wonât kiss your Daddy now?â
âAll right. Both Sun and Moon planted a kiss on Abelâs cheek. It was a bittersweet moment that almost teared Abel up.
âMr. Abel.â Luca appeared. âMr. Benjamin is here. Should I let him in?â
âYes, please.â
Abel turned around and said affectionately to his kids, âGo upstairs now. I have to talk with Uncle Benjamin.
The triplets loosened their grip on Abel and went upstairs obediently. After Luca asked the guards to open the gate, Benjamin parked his car in a dedicated spot. Sam came out from the passenger seat and together, they approached Abel.
âMr. Ryker, I brought Sam here to look after the kids.â
Abel nodded. âThe cafe is closed permanently now?â
âJust temporarily,â answered Sam. âWe still need our moneymaker back online one day.â
âBut there werenât a lot of customers, from what Iâve seen Are you sure it will be lucrative?â
âWe did get a lot of take-outs, though.â
âOhâ¦â Abel raised his eyebrows. âPlease come in Daisy was in the main hall. Tm about to cook. Have our quests had dinner yet?
âAt this hour, I donât think se, replied Abel on Benjaminâs and Samâs behalf.
âAll right. I shall prepare a meal for three.â
âNo need. I have ordered food from Nimbus. It will be here soon,â said Benjamin.
see.â Abel continued. âIâll just cook for the triplets then.â
Sam was surprised to hear that. âYou are cooking for them in person?â
Daisy chuckled. âThe triplets love Mr. Abelâs cooking. They donât even like mine.â
âWow.â Samâs eyes widened. It seemed like Benjamin would face a strong love rival like Abel in his journey to woo Emmeline. That said, saving her was the priority now. And no matter who Emmeline chose in the future, Benjamin would give her his blessing.
âSo, do we have the money now?â Benjamin asked Abel. The latter nodded. The deal was in black and white anyway.
âWhat about you?â Abel inquired. Benjamin was just the CEO of Adelmar Group. He still had to answer to someone else so he couldnât get 300 million dollars that swiftly.
âI penned an IOU to my superior and she is generous enough to lend me the money.â
âSo who exactly is the owner of Adelmar Group?â Abel squinted.
âShe isnât in Struyria. She is just a retired businesswoman.â
âSounds like an old woman. She definitely deserves a break after a life of hard work.â
