The Quadruplets Are Mine? Chapter 336
“Benjamin, you’re drunk.” Emmeline frowned, “Let go of me. I will grab you some water.”
“No.” Benjamin hugged Emmeline tightly, “Let me hold you like this. Do you know how much I wanted
to hug you? I’ve always lacked the courage to do so. Emma…”
Benjamin’s sobbing voice and words surprised Emmeline.
Emmeline knew Benjamin liked her.
Supposedly, it was a mild and warm sibling affection.
Emmeline never expected Benjamin’s affection had gone from simple liking to deep, repressed love.
“Emma, I regretted it so much.” Benjamin wailed as he hugged Emmeline, “When we were on
Reykjavík Island beside Master Adelmar, I fell in love with you. Why didn’t I have the courage to pursue
you?”
“I always thought we would live together every day, and our relationship would never change. However,
things have changed since we are at Struyria. Emma, I wish we could go back to the days when we

‘That’s not going to happen.” Tears streamed down Emmeline’s face, “Since Hesperus got sick, things
are already set-in-stone. I have to find that person…”
If Hesperus weren’t diagnosed
with a blood disease, Emmeline would not have brought the children back to Struyria.
Emmeline wished to stay forever in that blissful land with Master Adelmar, Waylon, and Benjamin. It
would be a simple and fulfilling life.
Fate played tricks on them. Things would not return to what they used to be no matter what was said.
“Emma.” Benjamin held Emmeline’s face, “You don’t like Adrien, but why are you marrying him?”
Emmeline lowered her eyes and whispered, “Adrien is the children’s father. I don’t want to deprive the
children of the right to be with their father.”
“I can be a good father too.” Benjamin cried, “Who do you trust more than me?”
“However…” Emmeline shook her head, “This is different.”
“Emma.” Benjamin’s tears fell to the floor, “Even if you marry Abel, I won’t be so heartbroken. I know
you love him, but why did you pick Adrien? It makes me feel like I’m such a failure!”
“Don’t say that.” Emmeline raised her hand to cover Benjamin’s lips, “You’re good enough for me, and
you’re much better than Adrien. You did not lose to Adrien. You don’t have a blood relation to the
children. That’s all.”
Benjamin put away Emmeline’s hand. He lowered his head to kiss Emmeline’s lips.
It was a brief contact before Emmeline pushed Benjamin away.
“Please sober up, Benjamin.” Emmeline shook her head, “I have always treated you like a family, as an
elder brother.”
Benjamin took a step back. He leaned on the desk, covering his head in pain.
After a while, Benjamin said hoarsely, “Sorry, Emma. I couldn’t
control myself. Please don’t be mad at me.”
“Let’s go to Nightfall Cafe.” Emmeline added, “I will get you a hangover remedy. You will fetch me to be

“…” Benjamin looked at Emmeline with watery eyes.
“Have you made up your mind already?”
“It’s not a big deal.”
Benjamin nodded bitterly, “Alright, Ms. Louise.”
“Let’s go.” Emmeline reached out her hand to Benjamin, wanting to help him out.
“Emma.” Benjamin blurted, “Don’t you want to let Master Adelmar know? This is an important event in
your life.”
“Don’t tell our master yet.”
Emmeline replied, “I’m not confident if Adrien will ultimately be worthy of my trust.”
“Alright. Let’s see how Adrien performs.” Benjamin pushed away Emmeline’s hands, ‘You don’t have to
help me. I’m fine.”
“You’re not walking straight.” Emmeline insisted on holding onto Benjamin’s arm.
Emmeline and Benjamin left through the CEO’s office door. They entered the private elevator under
everyone’s surprised stare.
