Ambush of the Quadruplets

Chapter 1421 Keeping a Man Requires More Than Pleasing Him

“Children who grew up under the same roof are like family, just as close as siblings.” Emmeline

remarked with a smile.

“Familiarity can erode attraction,” Alana countered, a sly grin on her face. “For Abel, I represent

something new and exciting. He’ll be curious about me, yearning to win me over.”

“Yearning to win you over?” Emmeline chuckled. “You seem to misunderstand his character entirely.

And as for you, well, you might need another thousand years of practice!”

“I may not fully grasp his intricacies, but… Alana flicked her hair and continued, “I have a solid

understanding of men. Abel is just a man, and Emmeline, you may know him, but not all men!”

While Alana’s words seemed somewhat tangled, Emmeline grasped their essence and furrowed her

brow, acknowledging the underlying logic.

Alana knew her statement had successfully unsettled Emmeline’s thoughts, and she continued with a

smile, “Can you honestly say that he will never fall in love with me someday?”

“I can assure you, Emmeline replied calmly. “Abel’s heart has no room for anyone else, but…” She

paused and added, “My concern is that he’s persistently a target for others, which can be quite vexing.“

“Are you implying I’m a thief?‘ Alana raised an eyebrow.

“What else?” Emmeline shrugged. “With you around, merely accusing you of being a vixen falls short!

“Very well, I’ll embrace the role of a thief!” Alana retorted with determination. Just wait and see how I

win over your man!

After Alana left, Emmeline swiftly removed the bedsheet and discarded it before changing into the one

she had purchased earlier. Following this, she took a brief nap. After waking up, she treated herself to a

warm shower, tidied her hair, and then checked the time, discovering it was already 5 p.m.

It appeared that the trade fair was nearing its end. So, she decided to change into the new dress she

had bought in the city while lightly applying smoky makeup. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

At half–past five in the evening, Abel returned, his radiant expression suggesting a highly successful

trade fair. As he entered the room, he embraced Emmeline, elegantly clad in a long dress, and

exclaimed, “Babe, you look so beautiful. You are the most stunning woman I’ve ever seen!”

“Stop with the flattery,” she smiled. “The appreciation dinner is about to commence; let’s not be late.

The dinner was extended until ten o’clock at night, Given the afternoon’s triumphant trade fair,

numerous. suppliers had placed orders for two years‘ worth of goods. As a result, everyone celebrated

joyously, and Emmeline indulged in a few drinks.

After bidding farewell to the final guest, Abel and she stood at the banquet hall’s entrance. He tenderly

embraced her and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. “You’ve worked so hard, babe.”

“It was demanding but enjoyable,” she replied. “These orders will keep Ryker Group busy for two

years!”

“We still need to secure orders from all across the country, he remarked. “The company’s growth must

continue.” have complete confidence in you, Emmeline said with a joyful smile, gazing up at Abel.

The two laughed heartily as they exited the banquet hall and headed to the parking lot.

Unbeknownst to them, Scott and Alana observed them from behind.

Soon, the impressive Buick Regal glided across the square and vanished into the dimly lit streets. For

Alana, the man’s departure seemed to crush her heart.

“Keeping a man requires more than pleasing him,” Scout advised. “You must also win him over.”

“Hmph, Alana scoffed at him. “Win him over? I would love to, but what resources have you provided me

to have the ability to win others over?”

He was momentarily at a loss for words and remained silent.

She expressed her grievances. “You abandoned Mom and me in the countryside for over a decade,

subjecting me to her frequent bad moods. I had no decent clothes or good food. And just as I started.

hoping for your return, I learned of your divorce from Mom. I watched her desperately trying to win your

approval, only to be insulted by you. How can I ever feel confident in my relationships with men.

growing up in such an environment?”

Scott was rendered speechless by her words and eventually stated, That’s just your perspective. The

relationship between your mother and me was a mistake from the start. I was seeking my happiness,

and nothing was wrong with that. It was your mother who insisted on dragging everyone down.”

“It was your irresponsibility, but you completely washed your hands off it in the end!” Alana exclaimed.

“Imagine if Mom had let go of her grudges and not made those threats toward that other woman. In that

case, she might not have married someone else, and you wouldn’t have forgotten about that woman,

right?”
