Dr. Carter left with a hint of regret in his eyes.
Adrien took charge of his motherâs care, carefully brewing the medicinal herbs she needed. After the first dose, Julianna felt a sense of relief and her spirits lifted.
âAdrien,â Julianna spoke up, âdid Emmeline convince you to come back?â
Adrien nodded. âEmma is the best woman. I always listen to her.â
Julianna sighed. âI used to dislike her, but now I see that sheâs actually quite nice. Abel really lucked out with her.â
âAdam hasnât come home in the past few days. Heâs feeling down about his recent defeat. Heâs never lost so badly before,â Adrien shared.
âGet Adam to find a way to put that Abelâin his place. Heâs too arrogant!â Julianna gritted her teeth in frustration. âAnd donât even get me started on your Uncle Lewis and his brood of four grandsons. Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!â
Adrien remained silent, his heart heavy with emotion.
He wished that Alanaâs scheme had succeeded, that way the triplets would be his children, and Emmeline would be his wife. But unfortunately, Alana had lost miserably, and now she was in hot water with the law.

Adam had managed to pull some strings and get her off the hook, otherwise, she would be facing several years behind bars.
The next day was Saturday, and the Quadruplets didnât have to go to preschool.
Emmeline headed off to Adelmar Studios for her work as a stunt double, which she loved. Abel was a bit worried, but he knew better than to try and stop her. He understood that Emmeline valued her independence and freedom.
He would simply offer her advice or assistance when needed, or sometimes even solve problems for her behind the scenes.
There were still many tasks that needed to be handled at the Ryker Group that day.
Abel thought for a moment and decided to take the Quadruplets with him to work. The four little ones were thrilled at the idea, even Timothy who had never been to the Ryker Group before.
As soon as they heard that Daddy was taking them, the Quadruplets rushed to change their clothes.
However, Daisy and the chef had gone out to buy groceries and were not yet back.
Kendra was busy trying to soothe Quincy to sleep and carefully placed her in the stroller.
With a stable and comfortable living environment, high-end formula, and nutritional supplements, Quincy had gained a lot of weight. Her little face was chubby and pink. Emmeline and Daisy often held her, never wanting to put her down. Even Abel, who wasnât good at holding babies, managed to hold her a few times. Kendra was delighted to dress up the four little ones, making them look cool and handsome.
After half an hour, the extended Rolls-Royce parked at the Ryker Group podium.
As Abel and the four little ones entered the lobby of the building, everyoneâs eyes were glued to them.
âWow, come and see, Mr. Ryker brought in four mini versions of himself to work today!â
It had been rumored lately that Abel had saved the entire galaxy and had also found a wife and children. And seeing these four handsome and cool boys today, people began to think that it wasnât just Abel who saved the galaxy, but also the boysâ mommy.
âWhat a lucky girl she is!â people whispered.
She was the ultimate winner in life, having a man like Abel as her husband and four beautiful children like these.
âDaddy, is this the Ryker Group?â Timothy asked. âItâs so magnificent!â
âI counted it just now,â Helios chimed in. âIt has over 80 floors.â
âIn Struyria, this must be one of the top-ranked buildings,â Endymion added.
âI heard Mommy say that Ryker Group is the only company that can rival Adelmar,â Hesperus said.
âPromise me youâll grow up well and take over Ryker Group in the future, okay?â Abel said to his four boys, with a smile on his face.
âWell, thatâs great,â said Timothy. âWe can all manage Ryker Group together, and we wonât have to fight.â
âBut everyone will listen to Timothy,â Helios said, âbecause heâs the big brother.â
âExactly,â Endymion and Hesperus nodded in agreement, âweâll all follow the big brother.â
âIâll make sure to be a good big brother,â Timothy patted his chest, âand take care of my little brothers.â
Finally, Timothy added, âAnd Quincy too!â
âAbsolutely,â the three little brothers agreed in unison, âQuincy is our little sister.â
