Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

Chapter 1428 Feeling Like It Was the End of the World

Abel, with a cold look in his eyes, questioned, “What concern is it of yours?”

Unknown to anyone, Abel and Emmeline were actually in their respective bedrooms.

Alana persisted, “It matters a great deal! You and Emmeline are family; you can’t be together!”

Annoyed, he abruptly rose from his seat, seized her by the neck, and forcefully moved her away from the office desk. I’ve never encountered such a repulsive woman like you!”

Unwilling to back down, she protested. “Did I say something inappropriate? You and her can’t marry!”

Abel, clenching his teeth, hurled Alana onto the couch. “Should you ever utter words that besmirch Emma’s reputation, I will ensure you regret it!”

Once she had left, Luca brought Emmeline back.

“Abel, Luca addressed him. “Scott informed me of a social event tonight and expects your attendance.”

Abel furrowed his brows, “When did this come up?”

“Just moments ago, at the company entrance, Emmeline interjected on Luca’s behalf. “Mr. Yendall mentioned that some city officials will be in attendance.”

“In that case, I’ll give him a call. Abel remarked, reaching for his phone to dial Scott’s number.

“Some city leaders specifically requested a visit,” Scott said. “You just need to make an appearance.”

“Alright!” Abel nodded. “I’ll go later. He had intended to stay with Emmeline and witness her savor a delightful meal, but now those plans were dashed

Soon, he headed over to Sofia’s.

Emmeline found herself dining alone. While halfway through her meal, her phone began to ring. It was Hannah calling.

Emmeline answered, “Hannah.”

“Emma!” Hannah inquired, “Where are you?”

After hearing this question, Emmeline couldn’t shake off her growing unease. I’m at the Ryker Group company. What’s going on?”

“Where’s Abel?”

“He went out to cat, Emmeline replied.

“Mom wants you to come back,” Hannah added quickly. “Hurry, the family is waiting for you!”

Emmeline hesitated, feeling like it was the end of the world. “Why should I go back?”

“Come back, and we’ll talk, Hannah reassured her. “Don’t worry; Mom is fine!”

After ending the call, Emmeline couldn’t help but feel her heart tighten. Her mother had asked her to return home because of two men, Albus and Abel, and even though she didn’t want to, she couldn’t disobey.

However, at this late hour, there were no more buses available.

Since Abel was still at the social event, Emmeline used the spare key to the Santana car. Despite not having a driver’s license, she was familiar with driving thanks to Abel, who had taught her multiple times. She quickly changed into sportswear, rushed downstairs, and found the car parked in its usual spot. It was her first time driving alone on the road.

She was a bit uncertain as she started the car. She recalled how he had taught her to drive, and one thing she always struggled with was remembering the gears. Each time she shifted gears, she found it hard to determine which one she was in and was too anxious to glance down.

She finally asked, “What gear am I in?”

He confirmed the gear and provided her with the information.

A while later, she inquired again. “What gear am I in?”

He checked once more and told her.

This happened three times, and then he realized he was being teased. “Do you need to hire someone to assist you with gear changes in the future? Can’t you manage shifting gears and keeping track of them alone?”

Emmeline’s journey to mastering gear shifting began with Abel allowing her to take the wheel during their frequent trips between the city and Altney Steel. As they experimented, it became evident that no matter what, she couldn’t progress beyond third gear. This quirk earned her the affectionate nickname “Third Gear Em. Recalling these formative driving experiences, she couldn’t help but smile.

Her reverie was interrupted as she reached the Kink Steel intersection, the dark evening sky contrasting with her watch’s display, which read 7:20 pm. As she momentarily glanced at the time, the steering wheel veered off course, sending the car toward the roadside.

Panicked, she quickly regained control of the wheel, but it was too late. The car collided with a middle- aged couple waiting for a cab at the side of the road.:

Emmeline slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a halt. She shed out of the vehicle, her face drained of color, and anxiously inquired, “Are you both okay? Did I hit you?”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

The middle–aged woman reproached her, saying, “Young lady, you must drive more responsibly! You could have hit us!”
