Chapter 147 The Boys’ Plan

Emmeline rolled her eyes at him. "Why should you care?"

"Sorry, I shouldn't have been annoyed at you earlier," Abel said softly.

Emmeline did not reply. She crouched and continued to tidy up the children's toys on the floor.

"Let me do it. You should rest for a while," Abel said.

Emmeline continued to ignore him, though a thought popped up in her head.

The room is a mess, but why are the snacks on the table arranged so properly?

It's as though the children deliberately put it there in case of emergencies.

Also, the security system of the mansion is very advanced. Why would it suddenly break down?

Could the triplets be behind this?

Half an hour later, the door remained locked.

Abel called Luca again. "Is it fixed?"

Luca sounded frustrated. "No. The technician thought the problem would fix itself after a reboot, but it

doesn't seem to be the case!"

"What the heck is going on?" Abel was beginning to sound annoyed. "Can't he fix it?"

"Ask him how long it will take!"

"…"

Luca covered the phone and asked the technician, who was busy at work.

The technician was extremely flustered. "I'll have to reinstall the entire system and reboot it. It'll take at

least another twelve hours."

Twelve hours!

Luca was shocked. He braced himself before telling that to Abel.

"Twelve hours?" Abel could feel his head spin.

Am I going to stay in this room for the next twelve hours? I still need to work!

"Argh! This is ridiculous!" Abel tossed his phone on the bed.

"Twelve hours?" Emmeline's face turned pale when she heard that.

She did not want to stay in the same room with Abel for so long!

She could guess that Moon was behind the malfunction, but she did not tell that to Abel.

Moon was a master hacker, and Star must be behind the neatly arranged snacks.

Star was a clean freak like that.

She thought for a while before sending a message to Moon.

"Is this your handiwork?"

Moon was shocked when he saw his mother's message.

"Sun, Star, Timothy! Mommy thinks that I did it!"

"Whatever you say, don't admit to it!" Sun and Timothy said.

"But good boys shouldn't tell lies."

"Not when they're told in good faith," Star said. "If lying means that Daddy and Mommy get to stay

together, then you should lie all you want. We're all behind you."

"Yes, we're all behind you!"

"Okay then." Moon pouted. In his reply to Emmeline, he denied hacking the system.

Emmeline saw the reply. Was I wrong in accusing him? The triplets never lie.

She placed her phone on the coffee table, and it immediately began to ring.

Emmeline sow Benjomin's nome on the screen.

She did not wont to pick it up, but she sow Abel tilting his heod to see who wos colling.

"Benjomin York?" Abel mumbled sullenly.

Emmeline rolled her eyes ond onswered the coll.

"Emmo, it's getting lote, ond it's still roining. Som ond Doisy ore wondering where you ond the triplets

ore. They're very worried!" Benjomin soid.

"The triplets ond I ore stuck here. I don't think we con leove tonight," Emmeline soid owkwordly.

Benjomin wos silent for o few seconds. You hove on umbrello ond o cor. The roin shouldn't hold you

bock, right?

"I'll go ond sove you, Emmo!" Benjomin excloimed.

"There's no need for thot," Emmeline soid colmly. "The children ore fine, but… I'm stuck in the room.

There's something wrong with the security system, ond I con't get out."

"Should I go over ond help you?" Benjomin osked.

Emmeline shot o glonce ot Abel. "Noh."

"I get it," Benjomin soid. "Mr. Ryker should be there. Alright, coll me if you need onything."

"Mm." Emmeline nodded ond hung up.

"Not bod ot oll! You two seem to be progressing just fine. He's olreody colling you 'Emmo,'" Abel soid.

Emmeline glored ot Abel. "Whot do you meon?"

"Tch, nothing. I wos just soying."

Emmeline saw Benjamin's name on the screen.

She did not want to pick it up, but she saw Abel tilting his head to see who was calling.

"Benjamin York?" Abel mumbled sullenly.

Emmeline rolled her eyes and answered the call.

"Emma, it's getting late, and it's still raining. Sam and Daisy are wondering where you and the triplets

are. They're very worried!" Benjamin said.

"The triplets and I are stuck here. I don't think we can leave tonight," Emmeline said awkwardly.

Benjamin was silent for a few seconds. You have an umbrella and a car. The rain shouldn't hold you

back, right?

"I'll go and save you, Emma!" Benjamin exclaimed.

"There's no need for that," Emmeline said calmly. "The children are fine, but… I'm stuck in the room.

There's something wrong with the security system, and I can't get out."

"Should I go over and help you?" Benjamin asked.

Emmeline shot a glance at Abel. "Nah."

"I get it," Benjamin said. "Mr. Ryker should be there. Alright, call me if you need anything."

"Mm." Emmeline nodded and hung up.

"Not bad at all! You two seem to be progressing just fine. He's already calling you 'Emma,'" Abel said.

Emmeline glared at Abel. "What do you mean?"

"Tch, nothing. I was just saying."
