Ambush of the Quadruplets: Stay Away From This Woman

“No, thank you,” Emmeline stood up. “I want to look for Abel now,”

“What’s the hurry?” Adam replied. “We’re family, after all. We can still have a conversation.”

“There’s nothing for us to talk about, is there?” Emmeline scoffed. “You’d better not cross the line, Adam!”

“What do you mean there’s nothing for us to talk about?” Adam chuckled quietly. “As I recall, you promised that when you were done with reading Game of Thrones, you’d tell me about it. It’s been quite a while; have you finished it?”

Emmeline blinked, taken aback. Apparently. Adam still remembered that particular conversation from ages ago.

“You’re bringing that up now? What do you want me to tell you about?”

“Well, I want to hear about Hallyne, of course.”

“How about this?” Emmeline gave her most charming smile. “I’ll buy you a copy of Game of Thrones for your very own so that whenever you see me, you’ll remember Hallyne and all his achievements. Oh, and Waylon, of course. You kept on talking about him.”

Adam was thrown for a loop. He recalled that in their conversation back then, she kept mixing up Hallyne and Waylon, but why had she suddenly brought Waylon up now?

He did not dare ask for more clarification or probe deeper into the matter. If his voice gave the game away and Emmeline was able to tell that he had met with Waylon, she might just be able to put two and two together and realize that he was the nightclub owner.
