? Chapter 47 snât it thrilling, Mommy?â Hélios sighed.
âI got to say that itâs romantic too. I feel moved.â Endymionâs dimples were showing.
âWe canât be the only ones to feel moved. Heâs got to touch Momâs heart too,â Hesperus said.
âItâs a pity I donât feel the sparks for him. Heâs not my type,â Emmeline chimed in.
âBut heâs our daddy,â The triplets spoke in unison.
âI think God might have made a mistake. How can such brilliant kids like you have a playboy for a father?â
âMommy, whatâs a playboy?â Representing his brothers, Helios raised a question.
Itâsâ¦â No matter what, Emmeline could not ruin how the kids saw their father.
âIt means someone who is used to a free and easy life.â
âEmmeline, will you say yes and be my bride?â
Getting down on one knee, Adrien presented the roses to Emmeline.
âGet up! Didnât we agree not to take it there? I might just take the kids back to the rural area, and they will become farmers for life,â Emmeline furiously blurted.
âWoah!â The triplets turned wide- eyed. What did we do for Mommy to put us in a career in agriculture?
âYou can bring me along. I have thought about it long and hard. Iâve made up my mind to be with you. We can be a family of farmers.â Adrien chuckled.
âWoah!â The tripletsâ jaws dropped. Mommy had the power for Daddy to give up his life in the city to be a farmer.
âI donât have time to waste with you. You have 30 seconds to get out of here. I need to drop the kids off at school.â Emmeline was in a hurry.
âEmmeline, these are our kids. Canât you at least give me this?â
âTsk.â
Adrienâs statement did not sit well with Emmeline.
âI told you to leave! Take your flowers and leave!â
âDonât youâlove roses? You canât imagine the number of women who would die for 999 roses and a Ryker boy.â
âI say. I donât care about you or your roses You should find someone better than me.â
âEmma, please reconsider.â
âI have nothing to reconsider.â
Emmeline whipped out her phone to call Benjamin. âSend me ten cleaners to clean up the mess at the entrance.â
Benjamin was dumbstruck. âWhat happened, Ms. Louise?â
âI said I need cleaners. What are you blathering about?â
Adrien waited until Emmeline hung up the call before asking, âWho did you call, Emma?â
âThe health and safety department! Your roses pose a safety hazard to my entrance.â
It finally dawned on Adrien. âAh. I spent thousands to fly these roses from abroad. They are not trash.â
âRoses without love are garbage! You dumped these flowers here, and youâre not letting me take out the trash?â
Benjamin urgently assembled ten cleaners from various floors. To play it safe, he put on the cleanerâs uniform and put on a mask before rushing to Emmelineâs café.
Following the arrival of two MPVs in front of the café, the vehicle doors opened, and out came eleven eleaners armed with brooms and mops.
It took Adrien by surprise. Emmeline seemed to have the health and safety department on speed dial.
She was able to summon close to a dozen cleaners with a single call.
âMs. Louise, what do you need to do?â Benjamin asked from behind the mask.
Emmeline pointed at the L.O.V.E- shaped roses. âTake out this trash.â
âGot it.â Benjamin instructed the eleaners to get right to the job.
âSeriously, itâs fine if you donât like the flowers, but you didnât have to waste them. These flowers are beautiful.â
âBut this is not the place for them. find them an eyesore.â
âI got a better idea. I can get my security detail to deliver these roses to Ryker Group to brighten up the lobbyâ
âAlright. At least I can save the cost of the cleanup.â Emmeline nodded her head.
Holding a broom, Benjamin asked, âMaâam, do you still need our service?â
