StarNovelAbel held up the bowl of soup and stirred it about with the spoon.
Emmeline said, “I can feed myself. You don’t have to do it for me all the time.”
Abel denied, “You’re my wife. Of course I need to take care of you. Just sit back and let your dear
husband pamper you.”
“You’ll spoil me rotten,” Emmeline said playfully.
Abel said, “So what if I do? My wife deserves to be spoiled.”
Emmeline teased, “Since when did you get so glib? What happened to the stone-faced devil Abel
Ryker?”
“I’m still a stone-faced devil when it comes to other people. But in front of you, I’m nothing more than a
lovestruck man.”
Emmeline couldn’t help breaking into laughter.
Abel was happy to see that she was laughing heartily as well.
He leaned in and gave her cheek a peck.
“Be a good girl and get better soon. I’m constantly feeling the urge to do it. It’s unbearable…”
Emmeline’s face was instantly flushed red.

After dinner, he held Emmeline’s hand as they took a small walk around the garden.
Once they returned to the bedroom, he also helped her shower.
The two of them then sat on the living room couch, leaning against one another as they watched
television. They also played with Quincy from time to time before retreating back to the bedroom.
Abel held onto Emmeline that whole night, trying hard to control his baser instincts as the two of them
simply slept.
When Emmeline woke up the next day, she felt like her body had fully recovered.
She took a few careful steps out of bed and didn’t feel any discomfort any more.
Abel hugged her from behind and kissed her hair, “Why don’t you come with me to the office? Ever
since the lightning brought me back to my senses, I don’t want to leave your side for a single second.”
Emmeline said, “I don’t think that’s a good idea. You’ll be busy working and I’d be so bored.”
Abel kissed her neck and said, “I’ll spend time with you once I’m done with work. Be a good girl and
come.”
Emmeline thought it over. She didn’t want to disappoint him, so she nodded, “Alright then.”
“That’s my girl,” Abel turned her around and kissed her on the lips.
The two of them then washed up and went downstairs for breakfast.
Emmeline changed to a long, light blue dress and looked absolutely gorgeous. She then went with Abel
to the Ryker Group office.
After the reporters picked up the scoop yesterday, all major broadcasting channels in Struyria were
now showcasing the news of the Ryker Group CEO getting married next month.
Emmeline held onto Abel’s arm as they both walked into the company, and as soon as they did, they
could hear murmurs coming from the employees.
“Gosh, Mrs. Ryker is so beautiful!”
“I know, right? How is she still so young and gorgeous after giving birth to quadruplets?”
“She IS young though. When she gave birth, she was probably still just twenty years old.”
“Destiny is so unpredictable. She practically became a celebrity overnight!”
“I’m so envious…”
Feeling extremely self-conscious from all the praise, Emmeline followed behind Abel with flushed
cheeks as they both entered the CEO’s private elevator.
Once they got off the elevator and into the CEO’s office, there was finally peace and quiet.
Abel then had to leave to have a small meeting with the other high-ranking executives.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBeing bored out of her wits, Emmeline suddenly thought of Sam.
Her beautiful eyes quickly spun as she called in Luca.
“Go to Nightfall Cafe and buy two cups of coffee for me and Mr. Abel.”
Luca hastily acknowledged, “Yes, Ms. Louise.”
Emmeline added, “Oh, but no need to rush. You can help Sam out around the cafe for a bit. I haven’t
been helping out for a long time now.”
“…” Luca seemed to have put two and two together. His expression was a little awkward, but also a
little expectant.
“Very well, Ms. Louise. Rest assured.”
Emmeline nodded, “Okay, now go quickly.”
“Yes, Ms. Louise.”
Luca quickly ran back to the assistant’s office, fixed his hair with some gel and dusted his black suit
and leather shoes.
After checking himself in the mirror a dozen times, he finally walked out with a pep in his step and
entered the elevator.
Not long after, Abel finished his meeting and came out.
He also wanted Luca to go buy two cups of coffee from Nightfall Cafe.
However, Luca was nowhere to be found in the assistant’s office.
Abel took out his phone as he walked back to the CEO’s office, intending to give Luca a call.
He mumbled to himself, “Where the heck did he go without telling me? I swear!”
