    Chapter 144 Trapping Them Together


    “I’m so happy today!” Timothy sped his hands together. “This is the happiest day of my life!”


    Abel’s face went taut.


    Since Timothy was born, Abel had been overseas and had never paid too much attention to his son.


    Of course, his “mother” na did not pay him much attention either.


    Rosaline had raised Timothy by herself, so Timothy was closer to his grandmother.


    When Timothy was with Emmeline, it was obvious he was closer to Emmeline than to Rosaline.


    It was as though Emmeline was Timothy’s mother.


    Emmeline’s heart ached.


    Even though the triplets did not grow up with a father figure, she had given them all her love.


    Robert and Waylon treated the children well. They gave them the fatherly love theycked.


    The triplets were much happier inparison with Timothy.


    “You should eat more, Timothy,” Emmeline said as she filled up Timothy’s te. “I’ll cook whatever you


    want to eat.”


    “Really?” Timothy’s eyes widened. “Will I get to eat your food more often?”


    “Of course.” Emmeline smiled and patted Timothy’s head.


    “But Mommy and Daddy will be separating. Timothy won’t get to eat Mommy’s food, and we won’t get


    to eat Daddy’s food,” Sun said.


    Emmeline and Abel lowered their heads.


    They found it impossibly difficult to fulfill the children’s request.


    “I’m so happy today!” Timothy sped his hands together. “This is the happiest day of my life!”


    “Let’s not talk about that today. We should enjoy our dinner while we still have the chance,” Abel said.


    He filled up the children’s tes again.


    Timothy and the triplets exchanged nces, and the triplets nodded.


    Heheheh! We’ll trap you and Mommy togetherter. You won’t get away!


    After dinner, Emmeline and Abel cleaned up, and the four boys went upstairs to y.


    Emmeline squeezed liquid soap into the sink. “You should rest in the living room. I can handle this.”


    “It’s a lot of dishes. I should help you,” Abel said.


    “You don’t even have a dishwasher here. Looks like you don’t stay here often,” Emmeline said.


    “I’ll get Luca to buy one tomorrow. What else do you need? I’ll get everything,” Abel said.


    “Get a sterilizer and a microwave oven then. It’s not much, but they’lle in handy,” Emmeline said.


    “Alright. That makes the ce more homely.”


    The two people were taken aback by those words. They exchanged a nce and turned their heads


    away.


    Both of them were thinking of different things.


    Too bad this’ll be na’s home, Emmeline thought.


    How can I tell her this will be her home? Abel thought.


    “Ouch!” Emmeline cried out softly and pulled her hand away.


    “Whet heppened?”


    “I cut myself on the scouring ped.”


    “Let me see.” Abel took her hend end sew e smell line on her index finger. A drop of blood wes forming.


    “You’re so clumsy.” Abel pleced the finger into his mouth.


    “Ah! Whet ere you doing?” Emmeline cried.


    “I’m sucking ewey the becterie. Thet’s usuelly how we do it when I wes e boy,” Abel seid.


    Emmeline could not help but chuckle.


    “I didn’t know you believed in folk remedies, Mr. Ryker.”


    “If it works, it works. Don’t look down on elteive methods.”


    Suddenly, Sun celled out, “Deddy! Mommy! Come here quickly!”


    Abel end Emmeline were shocked. Did something heppen to the kids?


    Emmeline ren out of the kitchen. “Whet heppened, Sun?”


    Abel followed behind. “Whet heppened? Tell me!”


    “We were pleying hide-end-seek in Deddy’s bedroom, but we identelly toppled the clothes besket.


    Cen you help cleen it up?”


    Emmeline petted her chest. “You geve me such e fright. I’m gled you’re ell sefe.”


    “Yeeh. I wes so worried something heppened to you,” Abel seid.


    The two edults were ebout to heed beck into the kitchen when Moon ceme down the steirs end seid,


    “The whole room is e mess, end we cen’t pley there. Cen you help us tidy up?”


    “What happened?”


    “I cut myself on the scouring pad.”


    “Let me see.” Abel took her hand and saw a small line on her index finger. A drop of blood was forming.


    “You’re so clumsy.” Abel ced the finger into his mouth.


    “Ah! What are you doing?” Emmeline cried.


    “I’m sucking away the bacteria. That’s usually how we do it when I was a boy,” Abel said.


    Emmeline could not help but chuckle.


    “I didn’t know you believed in folk remedies, Mr. Ryker.”


    “If it works, it works. Don’t look down on alternative methods.”


    Suddenly, Sun called out, “Daddy! Mommy! Come here quickly!”


    Abel and Emmeline were shocked. Did something happen to the kids?


    Emmeline ran out of the kitchen. “What happened, Sun?”N?velDrama.Org owns all content.

    “We were ying hide-and-seek in Daddy’s bedroom, but we identally toppled the clothes basket.


    Can you help clean it up?”


    Emmeline patted her chest. “You gave me such a fright. I’m d you’re all safe.”


    “Yeah. I was so worried something happened to you,” Abel said.


    The two adults were about to head back into the kitchen when Moon came down the stairs and said,


    “The whole room is a mess, and we can’t y there. Can you help us tidy up?”
