Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

The security guard rushed over with a large umbrella to protect the two from the scorching sun.

However, the temperature under the umbrella suddenly rose, and the air became hot and humid.

"How about this," Abel proposed, "I will cover the living expenses in the future. I can't possibly eat at your place for free."

Emmeline shook her head and said, "Don't worry about it. It's not much money anyway."

Abel remarked, "Your skills are better than the Ryker family's chef, who makes sixteen thousand dollars a month. I'm lucky to have found such a good cook, so I'll pay you twenty thousand dollars."

Huh?

Emmeline was a little taken aback.

Is Abel for real?

Did he really believe she was that poor?

"I'll send you this month's money first. It is yours to spend." Abel said this while pulling out his phone and transferring twenty thousand dollars to Emmeline.

He put the phone in his trouser pocket and said to Emmeline, "This way, I won't lose my self-esteem when I go back to eat."

"All right then," Emmeline said as she smiled and pressed the accept button.

"In addition, I will encourage my employees to patronize your café, as your café provides excellent service."

Ah!

Emmeline's eyes widened at that.

Mr. Ryker, this is entirely unnecessary! Mr. Ryker! If business is good, I'll be too busy to do anything else!

I still have to do medical research and return to Adelmar on occasion. The café's business cannot be too successful!

"You go back first," Abel said, seeing Emmeline in a daze, "I'll go over and eat later this evening. I'd make sure to return and eat since I've already paid for the meals".

Emmeline remained in a daze. Abel continued, "The meal does not have to be complicated. Four dishes and one soup will suffice."

"Oh!" Emmeline finally returned to reality, nodded, and repeated, "Four dishes and one soup."

"Yes." Abel smiled and turned to leave.

"Mr. Abel," called a woman's voice from behind.

Everyone turned to face the source of the voice, which turned out to be Alana.

When Alana saw Emmeline, her face turned cold, and she asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to give Mr. Ryker something." Emmeline indicated the package that Abel was holding.

"A suit?" Alana exclaimed, surprised. "Do you already know about the banquet, Mr. Abel?"

"A banquet?" Abel furrowed his brow. "What banquet?"

"Auntie Julianna is holding a big banquet to celebrate the return of her three grandchildren, and I'm here to give you your outfit," Alana explained. "Try it out to see if it fits."

Everyone's attention was drawn to the gift box Alana was holding.

"It's Beltramian haute couture. It's the newest fashion style this year and costs more than two hundred thousand dollars!"

"But I already have it," Abel pointed out, flashing the package in his hand. "This suit is quite nice."

"This..." Alana regarded the garishly wrapped package with a sneer. "Doesn't this look cheap? Mr. Abel, are you capable of donning such attire?"

"How come I cen't weer it?" Abel steted, "The Ryker femily's forefethers were wherf leborers who cerried secks. We eren't speciel in eny wey."

"But..." Alene's fece turned pele. Did Abel just turn down the heute couture suit she wes holding?

"Pleese return the suit. Two hundred thousend dollers is excessive. It's only e suit." Abel turned end welked towerd the building efter he finished speeking.

"Mr. Abel." Alene wented to follow him, but she wes stopped by e security guerd holding e lerge umbrelle.

"Two thousend dollers for e suit. It's reelly quite e weste of money," Emmeline seid, clicking her tongue.

"Whet do you know!" Alene muttered engrily, "Is it possible for the benquet et Meriwether Mension to fell short of the one et Leven Mension? Julienne elso wents to breg ebout the three grendchildren you geve her. Roseline, of course, refuses to fell behind!"

"So I'm the ceuse of ell this fuss?" Emmeline murmured to herself. She would heve stopped the triplets from investigeting if she hed known.

"You just weit," Alene seid to Emmeline, glencing et her shebby eppeerence. You will undoubtedly disgrece the entire femily et the benquet!"
