Chapter 143 A Happy Family
Emmeline was stunned. Abel lowered his head and gently pecked her cheek.
Emmeline did not say anything.
Immediately after that, Abel turned her around, hugged her closely, and sucked her lips.
"Mmh…" Emmeline waved the ladle in her hand.
Abel took the ladle with one hand, turned off the gas stove behind her, and placed the ladle on the
counter.
"Mmh," Emmeline moaned and struggled. She wanted to say, "Let go of me."
But Abel had already taken her breath away.
Luca accidentally saw that from the door. He quickly stopped the two bodyguards that were heading
toward the kitchen.
"Go away! The kitchen doesn't need your help!"
The bodyguards were confused.
"Danger in front!" Luca pointed behind him. "Beware!"
The bodyguards peeked into the kitchen. "Oh my!" They quickly ran away.
While Abel took a breath, Emmeline took the opportunity and said, "Let me go!"
The kitchen was a dangerous place to fight, so Emmeline did not want to get physical with Abel.

Abel was blushing, and his breathing was shallow and quick.
"Emma, I wanted to say… sorry."
Emmeline was surprised.
Heh. He's going to marry Alana soon. That's why he feels sorry.
Emmeline paused for a moment before slowly shaking her head.
Abel's heart sank.
She doesn't accept my apology. Right, she already has Benjamin.
"Ahem." Abel coughed and said nothing more. He turned on the stove and started cooking again.
The dishes were still the same, but the process was a lot less interesting.
A sumptuous spread was placed on the dining table, and the dining hall seemed very welcoming.
Abel and Emmeline exchanged glances. They felt accomplished with what they achieved.
Timothy was the first to applaud. "Wow, it's all my favorite food! You're amazing, Daddy and Mommy!"
"I feel like I'm in a five-star restaurant!" Sun said.
"I can't stop drooling!" Moon said.
"Ah, I can't wait any longer. I'm gonna dig in!" Star said.
Luca came over and said to Abel, "Mr. Ryker."
"It's time to eat. Any work can wait." Abel waved his hand.
"It's not that," Luca said. "The bodyguards and I were thinking of taking a break. We'll eat out and relax

Abel was taken aback, though he immediately understood what Luca meant.
Not bad, you all know when to make way for my family!
Abel nodded. "Alright. Go and enjoy yourselves. It's all on me."
"Thank you, Mr. Ryker," Luca said. "By the way, you don't have to worry about security. I'm sure you
and Ms. Louise can fight off any intruders."
"Enough talk. You may leave now!" Abel waved his hand again.
Luca was about to leave when Abel called him, "Wait!"
"Yes, Mr. Ryker?"
"Take some food and bring it to the janitors."
"Yes, Mr. Ryker."
Luca brought two full plates and went to the workers' quarters.
The two janitors would usually eat at the same dining table with Abel, but they knew that they should
stay in their rooms when Abel's "family" came over.
Abel, Emmeline, and the four boys sat around the dining table. They were like a family.
"Let's start eating."
Emmeline placed meatloaf on the boys' plates. "You should try… Daddy's cooking."
"Yes, yes." Abel put stuffed mushrooms on the boys' plates. "Mommy made this. It looks delicious,
doesn't it?"
