The Quadruplets Are Mine?

Waylon sneezed twice in quick succession.

Who’s talking about me?

He wondered, using his intuition to deduce that it was probably his beloved Emmeline.

After he and his father had patched up the little troublemaker and sent her back to find Abel, Waylon knew that he was in for a scolding.

But he was ready for it. Let her yell, he thought to himself. Even if Abel had drunk the Worryfree, Waylon was powerless against fate.

Besides, Emmeline couldn’t really do much harm to him.

“Adrien,” Abel said, “if you’re really feeling down, I’ll go grab a drink with you. We’re brothers, and it’s been ages since we’ve had a drink together.”

“That works,” Adrien replied. “Let’s go to the Majestic Bar. It’s quieter over there.”

“Sounds good,” Abel nodded in agreement.

“I’ll meet you there at noon,” Adrien stood up and gave a wink to Emmeline. “Remember to bring Emmett along so you don’t have to worry about leaving him behind.”

“Of course,” Abel agreed, knowing that he wouldn’t want to be away from the little guy for even a moment.

He couldn’t help but feel a little disturbed by his own attachment to the child, but he couldn’t afford to ignore his feelings either.

“See you later,” Adrien waved to the two of them before striding off, looking effortlessly cool despite the dark circles under his eyes.

“Are you coming with me to the bar at noon?” Abel asked Emmeline.

Emmeline was curious about what Adrien was up to, so she nodded and replied, “Wherever Mr. Ryker goes, I’ll go.”

“Okay,” Abel agreed.
