âEmma, itâs all Alanaâs plan. That day when she saw Abel enter your room, she came to me crying and asking me what to doâ¦â Alondra said while crying.
âSo you two were working together! I know how much I suffered, so I wonât forgive you! A lawsuit will be waiting for you!â Emmeline said angrily.
After she finished speaking, she gritted her phone with bloodshot eyes. Thinking of how Alondra and Alana had lied to her for five years, she wished she could strangle them to death.
âEmma, donât get angry because of them.â Abel pulled Emmeline, who was trembling, into his embrace.
He continued, âIâ Ìaccompany you to the police station to report them. We canât let them go for kidnapping Timothy.â
âMmhm.â Emmeline nodded in his embrace. Abelâs warm embrace made her feel at ease.
âI know youâve suffered all these years. Donât worry, Iâll make it up for you. Iâll accompany you and the children for the rest of your lives and never let you suffer,â Abel said as he stroked her hair.
âYou must remember what you said, but what if you donât keep your word?â Emmeline raised her head to look at him.
âWhen have I not kept my word? Do you think of me as such a person?â Abel laughed.
âWell, now and then. Swear it, or else I wonât believe you,â Emmeline said as she pouted.
âWhy are you so childish?â Abel patted her little head.
âDonât change the topic! Swear it!â
Emmeline said seriously.
âAlright, alright. I swear to God that if I ever make you suffer, Iâll be struck by lightning!â
âRemember what you said!â Emmeline said.
âMmhm, Iâll remember it.â Abel nodded heavily.
âThen Iâll go cook now. The children are hungry. After they eat and go to school, youâll have to accompany me to make a police report.â
âMmhm, I think we need to transfer Sun, Moon, and Star to another kindergarten.â
âWhat do you mean?â Emmeline asked.
âWe need to let the four of them be in the same kindergarten.
Besides, itâs more convenient to bring them there and back.â
âThen where should the children stay? Will they stay with me at the cafe?â Emmeline asked.
Without waiting for Abel to reply, she said, âI think thatâs fine.â
âWhat are you even thinking about in that little head of yours? Itâs not easy for us to be together, so how can we stay separated?â
Emmeline said shyly, âWeâre not even married yet.â
âHow dare you quibble? We already have four children, so we can consider ourselves married.
Whoâd dare say that we arenât a couple?â Abel said with a cold expression.
Emmeline was rendered speechless.
âButâ¦â As she was about to say that they had yet to register for marriage yet, Abel interrupted her. He whispered in her ear, âBe good and call me âHubbyâ.â
Emmeline immediately blushed and said, âNo!â
âWho else can call me that other than you? Iâll only allow you to call me that.â Abel hugged her.
Emmeline became embarrassed and hit him lightly. âBe serious! What if other people see us?â
âIs there anyone else here? Isnât it just the two of us in this living room?â Abel laughed.
Only then did Emmeline look around and realize they were the only ones there.
It seemed like everyone had hidden away, not willing to watch them being all lovey-dovey. Even the four children had gone upstairs to play.
Abel immediately pulled Emmeline into his embrace and kissed him.
As Abel was immersed in their love, Emmelineâs phone rang and interrupted their kiss.
He raised his head reluctantly and frowned. âWho is it?â
Emmeline took her phone out and saw that it was Alondra.
