Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

Chapter 136 Benjamin’s Secretary

Luca and the bodyguards felt uneasy as they stood outside the kitchen door.

They were not worried that the gas stove might explode, but they wondered who would be the pioneer

to try their boss' cooking.

That problem was harder than any mission they had received.

When Abel asked for their opinion, what would they say?

As expected, two hours later, Abel came out of the kitchen. He seemed excited.

"Hey, try my first dish! Meatloaf!"

So that's what it is?

Luca and the bodyguards looked at Abel's plate, then turned their heads away.

Abel was annoyed. "Hey, what's with that reaction? This is my fourth attempt. At least be grateful that

I'm not asking you to eat the previous three!"

"Ahem!" Luca braced himself and said, "I'll try it! It's just food, right?"

He reached out, broke off a pinch, and put it in his mouth.

Abel and the bodyguards watched him chew the meatloaf slowly.

Eventually, Luca swallowed.

Abel beamed.

The bodyguards took turns to pinch off a bit of meatloaf and put it in their mouths.

Abel had not brought out forks for them.

Once the meatloaf entered their mouths, the bodyguards had a newfound admiration for Luca.

No wonder he's Mr. Ryker's right-hand man!

How does he even do it? The meatloaf is barely edible, so how did he chew and swallow without

showing anything on his face?

The bodyguards managed to endure the ordeal and swallowed the food without any complaint.

"What do you think?" Abel asked excitedly.

"It's delicious!" Luca began to slap his hands.

"Delicious indeed!" The bodyguards also clapped their hands.

They would rather let Luca take the lead than react differently and make Abel angry.

"That's great!" Abel said excitedly. "Lunch is on me!"

Help us! Luca and the bodyguards thought.

See that, Emmeline? I can make home-cooked food too! Abel thought.

Abel cooked lunch that day, and the men tried their best to finish the food.

However, Abel was a fast learner. After three days, the men did not have to suffer as much while

eating.

They had to admit that Abel's cooking had "soul."

On the other hand, Abel received no reply from the Wonder Doctor.

Was I wrong? Abel thought as he gave a call to Benjamin.

"Is Ms. Wonder Doctor done with her research?"

"No."

"Didn't she say she'd take a week at most? It's been seven days."

"She's not done yet."

"How much longer?"

"A month, I guess. Two isn't out of the question," Benjamin said slowly.

After visiting Alana that night, Emmeline realized Alana's condition was not as serious as she thought,

so she could not be bothered about it.

"Can you ask her to meet me? It's really urgent!" Abel said worriedly.

"I con't do thot, Mr. Ryker. Once she locks herself in the lob, she's cut off from the world. Even I con't

contoct her," Benjomin soid.

Abel wos in despoir.

Emmeline isn't the Wonder Doctor.

The Wonder Doctor con't treot Alono within o month, ond I will hove to fulfill my end of the controct with

Grondfother.

D*mn it! I don't wont this to hoppen!

The next morning, Emmeline took the triplets to the kindergorten.

After returning to the cofé, she decided to go to Adelmor Group.

She wonted to keep her spirits up, even though memories of thot mon refused to leove her mind.

Whot's the point of thinking obout him? He's going to be someone else's husbond soon.

Just when Emmeline wos obout to leove, the phone on the counter begon to ring.

Som onswered it. "Good morning, Nightfoll Cofé. Oh, you're from the Adelmor Group?"

Adelmor? Emmeline turned oround ot the door.

"Right, so thot'll be two lottes? I'll deliver them in no time."

"No, I wont Emmeline… Emmeline Louise to deliver the drinks," the person ot the other end of the coll

soid.

"Emmeline…" Som turned her heod to look ot Emmeline. "Ms. Louise?"

"Thot's from Adelmor Group?" Emmeline osked.

"Yes," Som soid. "Someone nomed Jonie Eostwood wonts two lottes, but she insists on you delivering

them."

"I can't do that, Mr. Ryker. Once she locks herself in the lab, she's cut off from the world. Even I can't

contact her," Benjamin said.

Abel was in despair.

Emmeline isn't the Wonder Doctor.

The Wonder Doctor can't treat Alana within a month, and I will have to fulfill my end of the contract with

Grandfather.

D*mn it! I don't want this to happen!

The next morning, Emmeline took the triplets to the kindergarten.

After returning to the café, she decided to go to Adelmar Group.

She wanted to keep her spirits up, even though memories of that man refused to leave her mind.

What's the point of thinking about him? He's going to be someone else's husband soon.

Just when Emmeline was about to leave, the phone on the counter began to ring.

Sam answered it. "Good morning, Nightfall Café. Oh, you're from the Adelmar Group?"

Adelmar? Emmeline turned around at the door.

"Right, so that'll be two lattes? I'll deliver them in no time."

"No, I want Emmeline… Emmeline Louise to deliver the drinks," the person at the other end of the call

said.

"Emmeline…" Sam turned her head to look at Emmeline. "Ms. Louise?"

"That's from Adelmar Group?" Emmeline asked.

"Yes," Sam said. "Someone named Janie Eastwood wants two lattes, but she insists on you delivering

them."
