“Grandpa didn’t let us tell you that,” Helios said, “Grandpa told us that it’s a secret.”
“There’s also Uncle Adelmar,” Endymion said, “we’re not allowed to talk about it.”
“In short, we’re not supposed to talk about what happened on the island,” Hesperus finally concluded,
“We can’t talk about it, otherwise Grandpa will get angry.”
“But you’ve all talked about it just now,” Timothy said, “Will Grandpa Benjamin be angry?”
“It probably won’t happen now,” said Helios. “Now that even Grandma knows about it, it’s okay to talk
about it.”
“I think so too.” Moonlight nodded.
“I agree.” Hesperus also nodded seriously, “Daddy must have met Grandpa, so Grandpa agreed to tell
us this secret.”
Daisy was listening, wiping away her tears.
She already knew about Emmeline, but she could only keep it from the children.
Abel parked the car and walked in with big strides.
“Daddy!” His children rushed forward.
“Good boys!” Abel happily squatted down, opened his arms, and hugged his four precious sons.
The chubby little dumpling was hugged into her arms, warm and caring.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe corner of Abel’s lips burst into a smile.
“Daddy, Daddy,” Timothy said, “When will Mommy come back?”
“That’s right, Daddy, we miss Mommy too.” The Helios fluttered with big eyes.
“Daddy, will Mommy come back earlier?” Endymion was full of grievances.
Hesperus hugged Abel’s neck, “Daddy tell Mummy that we are all waiting for her.”
Mommy?
Mommy?
Abel furrowed his eyebrows.
Were the kids talking about Emmeline?
But why is that woman so ethereal to him?
It was too ethereal for him to grasp.
It’s really strange, he did not feel anything about the person he was going to marry.
“Mummy…” Abel said calmly, “It’s good to have Daddy with you.”
“But we also miss Mommy,” Timothy asked, “Grandpa Benjamin won’t let her come back,”
“…” Abel thought for a while, and the image of Emmeline lying on the hospital bed appeared in his
mind.
Although I have no feelings for her, she is their mother after all.
He could not afford to make the kids sad.
“Yes, Mommy can’t come back.” Abel said, “Daddy is hungry, shall we eat?”
“But Daddy, Mommy…”
However, Abel had already stood up.
Rosaline came over, wiped away her tears, and said, “I told the staff to cook your favorite dishes,”
“Thanks, Mom.”
“Grandma, Daddy likes to eat dumplings Mommy made,” Timothy licked his little tongue, “I’d like to eat
too.”
“I love Mommy’s porridge too!” Helios said, “Daddy likes it too,”
“Yes, there’s also Mummy’s shredded pork with green bamboo shoots,” Endymion said, “Daddy loves
them all.”
“Anyway, Daddy likes to eat the food Mommy cooks.” Hesperus finally added.
“I’ll tell the staff to make the dishes now,” Rosaline said with tears in her eyes.
Abel frowned.
Every time the children talked about a dish, a delicate and pretty figure in an apron would appear in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfront of his eyes.
The figure was blurry, but he could feel her smile.
She was sweet and gentle…
Suddenly, a sharp pain penetrated into Abel’s heart.
He yelled in pain, “Ugh!”
Rosaline was taken aback, “What’s wrong with you, son? Does your stomach hurt?”
“No,” sweat oozed from the tip of Abel’s nose, “It’s strange, my heart suddenly hurts.”
Heartache?
Rosaline looked at Luca.
Luca did not tell him that if he took the medicine, his heart would hurt.
Luca was lost.
Benjamin did not explain the side effects of the medicine.
Their grandfather suddenly had a heartache, how would he explain it?
Fortunately, the pain lasted only for a moment.
As Emmeline’s smile flashed across Abel’s heart, the pain disappeared.
“It’s okay,” Abel straightened up and said, “Maybe I’m a little tired.”
“Then you go upstairs and rest first,” Rosaline said, “We still have to wait for the dishes to be made,”
“Yeah,” Abel nodded and left the children.
