Quadruplets Unite: Mother's Words Are Law

Chapter 157 A Real Snob

With more people dining that day, including children, Ethan opted to assist the cook in the kitchen.

Emmeline, familiar with the children's favorite dishes, also donned an apron and joined in to lend a

hand.

Meanwhile, Alondra graciously offered Benjamin some beverages while Maxwell had a charming smile

on his face.

"Mr. Benjamin, please don't take the previous incident to heart. For Emma's sake, Adelmar must assist

Louise Corporation, or the situation will become extremely challenging for them."

Grace stewed in anger on the sidelines, complaining inwardly, "Why didn't you say that when you

evicted Ethan from the Louise Corporation? Aren't you just flip-flopping now?"

"Adelmar will share any fitting business opportunity with Louise Corporation," Benjamin said, "After all,

you are Emma's family."

Emma's family?

On hearing that, Alondra felt a sense of hope and quickly poured more tea into Benjamin's cup.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Benjamin." Maxwell was overjoyed.

"In the end, aren't you still relying on Ethan and Emma?" Grace, unable to control her anger, muttered

and rolled her eyes.

Alondra smiled at Grace and said, "Well, what can we do? We're all family." She then asked, "Is your

child in junior high school now? Why didn't he come with you?"

"He lives on campus!" replied Grace angrily.

"Bring him to his grandpa's house during the holidays," Alondra suggested, "Your father misses his

grandson."

Grace commented, "Dad has probably forgotten what his grandson looks like."

Grace was still seething with anger.

Alondra's face tightened and inwardly criticized, "If I had my own son and daughter, I could rely on

them in my old age. Do I even need to put up with all of you?"

The situation was truly maddening!

After some time had passed, the kitchen finished preparing the dishes, and the entire family gathered

to dine.

Grace and Emmeline worked together to care for the children; before long, the triplets had finished

eating.

After that, the triplets departed from the table, leaving the remaining adults who were still dining and

conversing. Eventually, the atmosphere became tranquil.

"Emma," Maxwell said, "Can you stop blaming me for what happened in the past? I am also getting old.

You know, I almost died from a cerebral infarction a few days ago."

"That's true," Alondra said, pretending to sob, "What will happen to me when your dad is gone? We've

been together for most of our lives."

"Don't worry," Emmeline assured Alondra, "Even if Dad is fine and lives up to a hundred years old, my

brother and I will not abandon you!"

"You two are still the most filial."

Grace angrily stuffed food into her mouth, saying, "From what I see, there's always a way out to every

problem!"

Alondra could barely maintain her façade any longer.

"Enough, Gracie," Ethan said as he peeled a shrimp for his wife, "Let's not talk about the past anymore.

We're all good now."

"That's right, Grace," Maxwell said, "All that has happened is my fault, so don't hold a grudge

anymore."

"I was in the wrong, too," Alondra said as she pretended to wipe away tears. "It won't happen again.

After all, we are all family."

"Then let's not talk about it. Instead, let's all enjoy the meal," Emmeline suggested, trying to ease the

tension in the room.

"We must look like a bunch of fools to Mr. Benjamin," Alondra remarked with a smile directed at

Benjamin.

"It's okay. Let's just enjoy the meal," Benjamin said as he peeled a shrimp for Emmeline.

"It's okoy. Let's just enjoy the meol," Benjomin soid os he peeled o shrimp for Emmeline.

Benjomin sent Emmeline ond the triplets bock ofter the fomily gothering.

Since the triplets were olreody fost osleep, Benjomin corefully corried eoch of them upstoirs ond tucked

"Thonk you for todoy," Emmeline soid to Benjomin.

"Oh? Why ore you being so courteous with me?" Benjomin smiled ond odded, "I hope my performonce

"It wos pretty good," Emmeline soid, "Alondro did oll kinds of ontics becouse of your presence."

"She's o reol snob!" soid Benjomin, "Don't toke her lightly, Emmo."

"I know thot," Emmeline soid, nodding.

"I'll heod bock home now."

"Okoy, drive sofe."

Benjomin left ofter thot.

Emmeline ensured thot the blonkets were tucked in properly oround the children before closing the

"Ms. Louise, this is for you."

"Whot?"

Emmeline wos left speechless once ogoin, feeling o little emborrossed. She furrowed her brows ond

osked, "Why didn't he coll me?"

"Coll you?" Doisy soid, "Ms. Louise, didn't you blocklist him?"

"It's okay. Let's just enjoy the meal," Benjamin said as he peeled a shrimp for Emmeline.

Benjamin sent Emmeline and the triplets back after the family gathering.

When they got to the café, it was already ten o'clock.

Since the triplets were already fast asleep, Benjamin carefully carried each of them upstairs and tucked

them into bed, one by one.

"Thank you for today," Emmeline said to Benjamin.

"Oh? Why are you being so courteous with me?" Benjamin smiled and added, "I hope my performance

earlier met your expectations."

"It was pretty good," Emmeline said, "Alondra did all kinds of antics because of your presence."

"She's a real snob!" said Benjamin, "Don't take her lightly, Emma."

"I know that," Emmeline said, nodding.

"I'll head back home now."

"Okay, drive safe."

Benjamin left after that.

Emmeline ensured that the blankets were tucked in properly around the children before closing the

door to their bedroom.

With a green cardboard box in hand, Daisy made her way over.

"Ms. Louise, this is for you."

"What?"

"Mr. Abel came this afternoon after you and Mr. Benjamin left," said Daisy.

Emmeline was left without words. What a coincidence. Abel swung by?

Daisy continued, "He said he wanted to apply ointment for you, but when he found out that you had left

with Mr. Benjamin for Louise's family's residence, he just left the ointment here and went on his way."

Emmeline was left speechless once again, feeling a little embarrassed. She furrowed her brows and

asked, "Why didn't he call me?"

"Call you?" Daisy said, "Ms. Louise, didn't you blacklist him?"
