Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

Erin simply looked down with a smile on her face without saying a word. She made it sound like Lizbeth’s words carried some weight.

“But there’s one thing I need to remind you,” Lizbeth continued, “Although Paul is all over you, and I would love to bless you as well, you need to be ready for my mother. It’s not going to be a cakewalk for you.”

Erin felt something sink in her heart. She knew better than anyone how terrifying Mrs. Murphy could be.

She knew Mrs. Murphy more than Lizbeth, in fact!

After all, she grew up being raised by her.

Although Lizbeth was her biological daughter, by the time she was found and reunited with the family, she was already twenty.

The two women were shooting the breeze nonchalantly while Paul and Adrien were also done with their cigarettes.

The four of them entered the elevators and they went all the way to the top floor.

When they came to the first suite, the door was left ajar. Abel and Emmeline were already there.

At a glance, Adam was very respectful around Abel and Emmeline as they were engaged in a hushed conversation. It was really a far cry from his past self.

Paul spoke when he saw Adam, “What about staying behind for dinner? The more the merrier.”

Adam waved his hands dismissively, “I am here to serve Abel and Emmeline. I won’t be so thick-faced to join the dinner itself.”

“Adam,” Abel interjected, “Why are you being so awkward while we are family? Come join us.”

“I insist not to join the fray,” Adam replied, “I will go get the menu now. Emma, you can order whatever you fancy, and I will make sure the kitchen prepares your food as soon as possible.”

“One more thing, I know you guys are huge fans of dessert. I saw that they have some new cakes in their bakery. I will order some and bring it to you guys to have a taste.”

Emmeline felt sorry to see him being so accommodating, in fact.

Although Adam had done a good deal of dirty deeds to her, he would have to really make some tremendous payback to make up for the damage.

However, they were way past that period of time. She should not hold on to old grudges anymore.

Superficially, Adam was still an elder in terms of hierarchy. It was not presentable for Adam to act like a servant to her.

Emmeline said, “Adam, although Mr. Paul Murphy is treating Abel to a meal, Lizbeth and Erin are here as well. You don’t need to feel any pressure.”

“You’re right!” Adam immediately knew what she meant, “You are absolutely right about that. I need to make sure that Lizbeth and Ms. Anderson feel like guests as well.”

Then, he immediately summoned a waitress to pour tea for everyone before disappearing into the kitchen to monitor the cooking process.

“Liz,” Emmeline asked Lizbeth, “I heard that the date of your marriage is set? We are waiting for the good news, you know.”

“Not exactly,” Liz replied, “My parents wanted to employ the services of Mr. Ywain, but we have not been able to book his time yet.”

Emmeline and Abel exchanged a look. They had a knowing look in their eyes.
