Chapter 325
“I did use the Ryker funds,” Abel admitted, “but what I bought was Lizbeth, not Emma. I had put my lifeon the line to rescue Emma, and she was not bought with the funds.”
Adrien was shocked by this revelation.
Abel added, “If you want to thank me, you’ll have to repay me with your life. So, you can’t afford tothank me.” Abel turned around and confidently left.
“Emma,” Adrien climbed the stairs, “does he know about our situation?”
Emmeline returned to the platform and retorted, “Why are you talking so much?” Adrien was confusedand asked, “Why am I talkative?” Emmeline replied sharply, “I only said I permitted you to propose. Ididn’t say we were getting married. When did I mention that?”
“I didn’t say that,” Adrien spread his hands, “I swear to heaven, I just said that if you agreed, I couldpropose to you.”
Emmeline sat on the swing chair, feeling helpless, and said, “Let’s forget it. I should have explained itmore clearly.” Adrien pushed her onto the swing and said, “Emma, we are the parents of The Triplets. IfI propose to you and you agree, wouldn’t we be getting married?” Emmeline swung back and forthslowly and replied, “I haven’t thought about it yet. I only want to be fair to you by giving you a chance.”Adrien felt wronged and said, “I don’t understand what you mean. Why do you have so manyrequirements?”
Emmeline halted the swing with her foot and swiveled around to face Adrien. “What I mean is,” shesaid, “if you propose to me, I will only consider getting engaged first. It will give us an official year toevaluate each other. If you prove yourself qualified for our child and me, then we can discuss gettingmarried. This way, it’s fair to all of us.” Daisy and Sam exchanged glances and nodded in agreement,acknowledging that her reasoning was sound. It wouldn’t be right if she didn’t give Adrien a chance.
Getting married now would be too sudden, and the Triplets, despite their young age, comprehendedwhat their mother was saying. They also concurred with her logic. It wouldn’t be equitable for eitherAdrien or Emmeline if Adrien was unable to fulfill the requirements in the future. Adrien comprehendedEmmeline’s perspective, and though he was a bit apprehensive, he respected her decision. To him, thiswas a significant accomplishment.
“Okay, I understand,” Adrien said while pushing the swing. “You made your decision, and I fully supportit. I promise to pass the probation period with flying colors, and you and the children can rest assured.”
Emmeline added, “I hope you will use this year to break your bad habits, learn how to manage andoperate, and ensure that we won’t go hungry in the future.”
Adrien replied confidently, “Absolutely. I will work hard to ensure that you all have a happy and fulfillinglife.” Daisy and Sam exchanged a look. Did their young lady forget about the Aldemar Group? Was itnecessary to mention that they might go hungry?
Daisy reminded Adrien, “Mr. Adrien, you have gained an advantage, but you should have a propertransformation.” Sam added, “If you can’t improve, not only will we Ms. Louise not agree, but neitherwill we.” Adrien nodded in agreement and promised, “I assure you, I will transform myself properly. Iswear to the heavens!”novelbin
Despite feeling heavy-hearted, Emmeline didn’t say anything else.
“Alright then, I’ll go prepare,” Adrien whispered to Emmeline happily. “I’ll choose a good day to proposeto you.”
Emmeline nodded as she held onto the swing rope. Adrien tried to contain his excitement and quicklyran downstairs.
Abel departed from Nightfall Coffee and headed straight to the Ryker Group, where he called for themeeting that was originally planned for the previous day. The staff responded quickly, and within threeminutes, they were all gathered in the meeting room, gasping for breath. Their CEO, Abel, stood talland immovable like an icy mountain, ready to begin the meeting.
