    # was about to ask you the same question. Are you here to kidnap the kids?” asked Abel in a cold tone.


    “They are my kids! I just want to bring them home,” said Adrien.


    “We are not going with you! We are not going to leave Mommy!” said Helios.


    “That’s right!” said Endymion.


    “We are not leaving!” said Hesperus.


    “Alright, alright! We’ll discuss thatter.” Adrien tried to calm the


    situation.

    “Get lost, now!” Emmeline raised the


    wooden spoon again.


    Adrien quickly hid behind Abel.


    “Can you let him go? For my sake,


    please?” asked Abel.


    “Why would I let him go for your sake? Who do you think you are?” Emmeline was furious.


    “I’m someone you will work together on the Adelmar Group project. I’m here to discuss work,” said


    Abel.


    “Shouldn’t you discuss work at the office? Why do youe to the cafe?” asked Adrien.


    “I’m hiding from Mom and Grandad,” said Abel. He frowned and looked


    pale.


    “Haha! I knew it! You must be


    troubled because Auntie Rosaline wants you to marry na, and Grandad wants you to marry the


    Wonder Doctor. Am I right?” Adrienughed.


    Abel responded with a low groan.


    “Seems like my decision to stay single is correct…” Adrien was gloating when he saw Emmeline’s


    reaction. He quickly covered his mouth and left with his car. His bodyguards followed behind.


    Emmeline took a look outside of the


    cafe. She did not see Abel’s


    bodyguard’s car.


    Did hee here alone?


    “Are you not going to invite me in for a coffee?” asked Abel gently.


    “Come on in,” said Emmeline.


    The children quickly weed Abel into the cafe. They prefer Abel over Adrien even though Adrien


    was their birth father.

    Abel gently caressed the children’s heads. “Thank you, dearies. Go y. talk to Mommy.” Abel did not


    realize he had misspoken until it was toote.


    “I’m sorry.” He apologized.


    “It’s okay.” Emmeline blushed and poured Abel a cup of coffee.


    “Do the kids always y upstairs?” asked Abel.


    “Yes. The first floor is the cafe, and we live on the second floor. The third floor is vacant, so the kids


    usually y there.” Emmeline was still avoiding looking at Abel.


    “The third floor is vacant?” asked Abel.


    “Yes. We don’t need that much


    space,” said Emmeline.


    “Can you rent the space to me?” asked Abel.


    “Why do you want to rent the space?” Emmeline was surprised.


    “I want to move out and stay here. Mom and Grandad are driving me crazy!” Abel exined.


    “Really? Alright, I’ll give you a five percent discount on the rent and utilities,” said Emmeline.


    “I’ll prepay one year of rent to you. Tell me the amount.” Abel took out his phone and transferred the


    money.


    “I’ll be back with my stuff. See youter,” said Abel.


    “I’ll clean the room for you.” Emmeline went upstairs.


    Abel finished his coffee excitedly before leaving in his car,


    “Mr. Ryker, how’s everything?” Luca called Abel from his car that was parked around the corner.
