Ambush of the Quadruplets: Stay Away From This Woman

Abel set Emmeline down on the sofa and took the invitation from her. Upon opening it, he saw that it was for Adam’s birthday tomorrow,

“An invitation,” Abel replied. “Tomorrow is his birthday; he’s invited us to the banquet.

“Then should I go?” Emmeline tilted her head questioningly. “After all, I can’t see anymore.”
