Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

Chapter 1369 Deep-Seated Longing

In the afternoon, the school announced the start of summer vacation.

After leaving school, it was still early, so Emmeline took a bus to Altney.

It was just a little after 5:20 p.m. when she got off the bus at the bus stop, and Abel’s call came in.

“Hey, Abel,” Emmeline sat on the bench at the bus stop.

“Hey, has school been dismissed?” Abel asked.

Technically, summer break has begun.”

Abel heard the noisy sounds of car horns and chatter coming from her phone and asked, “Emma, where are you?”

I’m at the bus stop.”

“Why are you there?”

“I wanted to come and see you.”

Listen, go back home right away, don’t go anywhere else, it’s going to rain.”

“But…”

“Be a good girl…” Abel said and disconnected the call right away, leaving Emmeline to the busy signal.

“Abel…” She softly called out his name still.
