Chapter 1073 Father Suffered All Night
The clock in the living room reminded them that it was twelve in the morning. Doris was freed from theembarrassment and asked, "Are you having lunch at home, Mr. Adelmar?"
Waylon nodded. "I'm not planning to go out."
"I will go cook now." Doris wanted to leave his side as soon as possible; she couldn’t handle the wordscoming from his cruel mother.
"I have chefs." Waylon said. Doris stood there helplessly; luckily, Waylon went on to say, "Bring the kidsupstairs; you will be called when lunch is ready."
Doris let out a breath of relief, picked up Una, and went upstairs. Mrs. Flores followed her, havingNessa in her arms.
In the Nightfall cafe. Emmeline was ready to prepare lunch for Abel. A middle-aged man opened thedoor; it was Maxwell! Emmeline turned around and froze in place.
Maxwell spoke in a hoarse voice: "Emma, it’s me, your father. Don't just stand there."
"Father? What brings you here? Where is Alondra?" There was no one behind Maxwell.
"I am worried about you. Your Auntie Alondra went back to her hometown."
Emmeline almost let out a laugh. "That's why you have spare time to remember that you have adaughter?" "
Maxwell smiled bitterly and said, "You know how bad-tempered Alondra is. I just wanted to avoidgetting into trouble."
"I figured it out! Alondra thirsted for my dowry; I refused to give her anything; she now hates me todeath!" novelbin
"That's the way she is; don't blame her. She'll forget it soon enough." Maxwell smiled wryly.
"Let her keep dreaming. Maybe I will reward her with some diamonds or gold when I am pleased."Emmeline said sarcastically:
Maxwell was quite happy regardless: "I will thank you on behalf of Alondra! You make me proud!"
Emmeline thought, "This is nothing to be proud of! But I will keep the words to myself; after all, he isstill my father.
"Emma, are you free to have lunch with me today?"
Emmeline asked, "Why is there a need to do so? Is Louise Corporation not doing well?"
"It’s not because of Louise Corporation. I just wanted to check on you; I couldn’t sleep well yesterdayafter your message."
Emmeline almost shed tears. She lowered her head, didn’t want to be seen by Maxwell, and said,"Brother should have told you; I sent that message by mistake."
Maxwell choked up. "I couldn’t get the message out of my head all day; I just wanted to make sure youare doing great. So let’s have lunch together."
Emmeline sniffed and said, "Fine, I will get my brother and his family. It’s on me."
"Let me do the treat. You may get Abel and the quadruplets."
"The kids may not make it. They have school, and we don’t allow them to skip classes."
Maxwell said, "Let’s have lunch with the kids next time. I am their grandfather; I miss them."
Emmeline was heartbroken, Grandfather? Is he joking? They kicked me out of the house when I waspregnant; they should have expected the worst could happen to our relationship! The rift between meand them cannot be mended, and my kids would not take him as their grandfather either! Theirgrandfather is Master Robert! No matter what he did, he still gave me life, even though he regrettedeverything he had done. It is impossible for us to get close anymore; we can only act naturally now.
She nodded. "Sure, I will get the kids next time."
"Call your brother then; let’s meet at the Nimbus Hotel." Maxwell said.
Ethan picked up his phone within seconds and asked, "Emma? What is it?"
