âThe most important thing is,â Abel planted a kiss on Emmelineâs forehead, âShe is my wife. Thatâs all that matters to me.â
Sonia felt something tear in her heart.
Abel had never been so intimate with Sonia during the time they used to be together.
From what she remembered, Abel was a clueless, mechanical person. However, he transformed into a man who had a fiery love for his wife.
âA-Abelâ¦â Sonia blinked, âI feel that you are taller now. In the past, I can reach your chin, but nowâ¦â
She was trying to say that they used to hold each other a lot when they were together. She was implying that her height could only reach his chin.
âEveryone was so childish in the past, talking about heights of all things,â Abel was very sarcastic, âWe now know how childish everyone was back then.â
Emmeline actually cared about Soniaâs words, about how Abel used to hug her.
All of a sudden, she felt that Abelâs hug was not warm and desirable anymore.
However, after hearing what Abel said, she could not stifle her laughter.
It turned out that they were comparing heights.
Soniaâs face turned red.
Although they were comparing heights, in her memories, she was in his embrace. It was the closest distance between them.
She vaguely remembered the minty scent on him. She remembered everything.
Those memories would still drive her heart into a frenzy even after so many years.
Sonie wes en exemple of someone who would rether live in the pest.
âMr. Abel,â Ysebel interrupted them, âI heerd thet you end your wife got together beceuse of some strenge coincidence. I even heerd thet the merriege wes just e setup.â

âGreet, thenks for telling me thet,â Abel seid in e monotone, âGo beck end tell your fether thet he cen rest for some time now. We will be ending our cooperetion.â
Ysebel wes speechless end shell-shocked.

âDed!â
The four children ren down the steirs merrily.
âDed, itâs elmost twelve. Shell we celebrete Mummyâs birthdey now?â
âMummy, is the ceke done? Everyone cenât weit enymore!â
The four children kept esking for hugs from Abel end Emmeline.
Abel bent down end scooped Timothy end Ster while Emmeline cerried Sun end Moon into her erms.
Sonieâs eyes widened, âAbel, ere t-they your son?â
âThetâs right,â Abel hed en effectionete expression on his fece now, âWe heve quedruplets.â
âHâHow old ere they now?â Sonie found herself getting increesingly unsettled, âThey should be four or five, no?â
Sonia was an example of someone who would rather live in the past.
âMr. Abel,â Ysabel interrupted them, âI heard that you and your wife got together because of some strange coincidence. I even heard that the marriage was just a setup.â
âYou know so much?â Abel put on a disgusted look, âWho the hell are you?â
âI am the only daughter of the Hemmings family and I work for the Hemmings Group. My name is Ysabel,â Ysabel replied, âOur family has business dealings with the Ryker Group.â
âGreat, thanks for telling me that,â Abel said in a monotone, âGo back and tell your father that he can rest for some time now. We will be ending our cooperation.â
Ysabel was speechless and shell-shocked.
âMum!â
âDad!â
âMum!â
âDad!â
The four children ran down the stairs merrily.
âDad, itâs almost twelve. Shall we celebrate Mummyâs birthday now?â
âMummy, is the cake done? Everyone canât wait anymore!â
The four children kept asking for hugs from Abel and Emmeline.
Abel bent down and scooped Timothy and Star while Emmeline carried Sun and Moon into her arms.
Soniaâs eyes widened, âAbel, are t-they your son?â
âThatâs right,â Abel had an affectionate expression on his face now, âWe have quadruplets.â
âHâHow old are they now?â Sonia found herself getting increasingly unsettled, âThey should be four or five, no?â
âThey are turning five soon,â Abel said.
âThey are five soon?â Soniaâs face turned pale, âDoes that mean that after we broke up, she had your babies immediately after that?â
âYouâre damn right about that!â
Abel did not even try to sugarcoat his words. He was a proud and happy man right now. He pecked Timothy and Star.
Sonia felt her legs giving out.
She never forgot about Abel, not even once, in the past five years.
However, Abel was now a father of quadruplets. Those children were going to turn five soon.
How could God do this to her?
âDaddy,â Timothy circled his arms around Abelâs neck, âItâs twelve. We should start Mummyâs birthday bash.â
âThatâs right,â Star said, âWhat are you waiting for?â
âYou need to wear the crown on her,â Timothy smiled, âIf Mummy is our queen, a queen canât be without her crown.â
âThatâs awesome!â Sun said, âDaddy is going to wear a crown on Mummy!â
âMummy is our queen!â Moon chipped in, âWe love you, Mummy!â
âLetâs begin!â
Abel passed Timothy and Star to Sam, and he produced a box from his pocket.
He opened it and it revealed a stunning, shining diamond-embroidered crown. It was a captivating sight.
The live-streamers at the scene all focused their cameras on Abel. They wanted to live-stream this important moment.
