“Granny!” The chairs fell together under her kicks, and Abigail was hugging the old lady and cushioning herself beneath the old lady.
Abigail felt a piercing pain coming from her back, and her body was almost shattered by the heavy pressure on her body.
“Granny, are you alright.”, Abigail was ignoring the pain in her body, she checked the old lady ‘s body up and down until she was sure it was okay.
The old lady was standing up under the help of Abigail. It was lucky there were no injuries on her body.
“It’s fine, Abigail also fine,” The old lady muttered softly.
Abigail once again felt the pain from her back, and it seemed that her back was injured.
She wrinkled her forehead from the pain, and grandmother pulled her horn and asked carefully. ” Are you angry?”
“I’m not, I’m happy that granny is safe, how can I be angry.” The old lady ‘s expression was so pitiful, just like a child who had done something wrong, where Abigail could not bear to blame her.
The old lady smiled after Abigail had comforted her. She took out a small flower from behind and put it on Abigail’s hair.
“Pretty, so pretty, Abigail is so pretty.” The old lady clapped her hands and shouted; she was happy for her masterpiece.
Only then did Abigail realize that the tree that the old lady had just climbed was a cinnamon tree, and among the leaves, there was blooming with tiny cinnamon flowers, although they were not noticeable but they were elegant.
“Granny, did you just want to pick these flowers for me?” Abigail was stroking the little flower in her hair.
The old lady nodded her head repeatedly, her mouth kept saying, “Beautiful… beautiful… beautiful… Abigail is more beautiful than flowers.”
Abigail couldn’t help but hug the old lady. For the first time, she shed tears of emotion and happiness at Caunter’s villa. This old lady that she had never met before could treat her so well, she felt she was lucky.
All the humiliation, sadness and pain were dissipated at this moment. Abigail’s face buried in the old lady ‘s neck, she cried and said, “Granny was the person who loves me so much! But Granny can’t climb the tree in the future, it will make me worried, I don’t want anything that happened to you.”
“That’s affectionate, which show is this again?” Stacy’s voice came from behind, breaking the brief harmony.
Abigail turned back, and the arrival was not only Stacy but also Annie. Her pair of fawning eyes were expressing hostility.
“Stacy, you can’t say that Abigail is only doing this because she wants to take good care of grandmother and let grandmother feel the care of family, right?” Annie’s words were succeeded to provoke Stacy.
“The feeling of a family member? Doesn’t grandma have any relatives? I’m telling you, only me and my brother are her families, anyone else, don’t even think about it!” Stacy took a step closer and pulled her grandmother to her side. Stacy was pointing at Abigail and warning, “Listen carefully, don’t even think about using grandmother, she had a mental problem, but we don’t have. If I ever find out you’re trying to get close to Grandma again, I’ll knock your teeth out! ”
Stacy’s arrogant fingers waved in front of Abigail, who frowned in disgust and focused more on her grandmother. Grandmother was pulled by Stacy and she sent Abigail a plea for help.
“I’m afraid… I’m afraid… Abigail.” Grandma’s voice was pitiful, and anyone who was listening would pity on her. But Stacy turned into a deaf ear, she pulled the old lady towards her.
“Grandmother, I’m telling you, you only have two relatives, Joshua and me. This woman is bad!”
“No… no…” The old lady shook her head and her face was showing she is in pain. Abigail saw that Stacy’s nails even plunged into the old lady’s hand.
“Miss Caunter, don’t do that, you’re hurting grandmother,” Abigail warned, which instead provoked Stacy
“Grandmother? Who are you! You are s just my brother’s maid, a dog! What right to call her grandmother!”
Abigail’s little face was white, and Stacy’s words had managed to hurt her. It was just that the expression on her grandmother’s face made her intolerable, and without thinking too much about her own identity, Abigail reached out and took Stacy’s hand and reminded her again.
“Look, you’re hurting her. Come at me if you have anything to say about it. Let her go, she’s your grandmother.”
“It’s none of your business!” Stacy used her strength and pushed Abigail far away. Abigail was unsteady and fell to the ground.
Before Stacy finished laughing, she was shouting in pain. It turned out that grandma had had bitten Stacy when she saw Abigail fall to the ground.
“You!” Stacy raised her hand high, intending to slap her grandmother.
“Stacy, your brother is here.” Annie’s sharp eyes saw Joshua was approaching from afar. Stacy pulling down her arm and Annie was whispering in her ear.
Stacy’s hand dropped as she received the news, and she tried to turn back to face her brother, but Annie held her down. “Don’t look, take care of Grandma.”
Stacy hugged her grandmother who had just bitten her just now. She is not forgetting to pinch the back of her neck as she hugged her. “If you bite me again, I’ll strangle you!”
“What’s going on?” Missing the smell of Abigail, which was causing him to be unable to work properly and stopped what he was doing. He came to the backyard under the guise of security issues, and what he saw was Abigail had fallen to the ground, and then he looked at Stacy and asked coldly.
Annie squeezed her fist in dissatisfaction as Joshua hadn’t looked at her. This feeling of being ignored made her feel scared.
“Joshua, you’ve finally come.” Annie took the initiative to take Joshua’s hand. “They quarreled over the grandmother, and I couldn’t persuade them, but if you hadn’t come, I don’t know how long they would have been quarrelling.”
Annie was throwing a glance at Stacy, she managed to keep herself out of it.
“Brother, this woman doesn’t have good intentions, but she instructed grandmother to bite me, look!” Stretching out her arms, Stacy blamed all the fault on Abigail.
Joshua didn’t respond.
“Brother, you don’t believe me. You can ask Annie; she saw it with her own eyes.” Seeing Joshua didn’t respond, the Stacy did not forget to pull Annie.
Joshua walked towards Abigail who was still sitting on the ground, bent down and stared at her with a pair of sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.
“Is that so?” He didn’t ask Annie but instead asked about Abigail.
Abigail’s hair was cascading with a small Osmanthus flower, adding freshness and elegance to her beautiful face. Even the uninspiring outfit it still gave people a sense of being out of the ordinary.
Abigail shook her head and tried to make herself stand up, but eventually stopped because her back was injured.
“Don’t pretend to be pitiful there, I didn’t touch you!” Stacy started her innocence in a hurry.
Abigail smiled, blending in with the Osmanthus on her hair, making one think that the Osmanthus fairy had fallen into the mortal world.
“Miss Stacy, you didn’t do anything to me, but I never asked granny to bit you. The reason why she bit you, I think you have to ask yourself.” For the first time, Abigail faced the Caunter siblings so fearlessly, and one of the reasons why she dared to be bold was that her sister had already left the country.
She had come to atone for her sins but did not need to accept any unfair treatment.
Abigail’s reply caused Joshua staring at her with a renewed acquaintance and the corners of his mouth showed a meaningful smile.
“You’re the one who lied!” Stacy shouted unrelentingly; she was believing that her brother would never believe the words of an outsider.
“Abigail…” After a brief silence, Grandmother ran to Abigail’s side and reached out a pair of old hands to pull her up. “Abigail, don’t be afraid if someone bullies you, I’ll beat them.”
Stacy seized the opportunity to beat down Abigail. “Brother, you see, she has made grandma into a stupor, grandma listens to everything she said.”
Abigail didn’t speak, the wise man knows he knows nothing, the fool thinks he knows all. How Joshua wanted to see her as his business. What she cared about now was whether grandma gets hurt.
“Granny, are you in pain.” She touched the place where she had just been pinched by Stacy and lowered her voice and asked.
“It doesn’t hurt… it doesn’t hurt… does Abigail get hurt.” The old lady shook her head, not forgetting to ask about Abigail’s condition.
“I’m fine, let’s go back.” Abigail wanted to leave this place.
Stacy’s body peeked in and stopped the two of them. “You’re so bold that left here without bother’s permission. Did my brother let you go?”
“Things have to be worked out, and if you instigate something like that…”
“Shut up!” Annie had wanted to act as a good wife, not wanting to anger Joshua, but she was stopped in mid-sentence.
“Both of you go back! I’ll handle these things.” Joshua was breaking away from Annie’s hand and pointed at Stacy without mercy.
“Take grandmother back to her room, I have something for you.” His eyes locked onto Abigail and pointed to her room. “I’ll be upstairs waiting for you!”
As Joshua’s back disappeared inside the building, Abigail twisted her slender fingers, but her pink lips lightly, and stunned in the same place.
“What a bummer!” Stacy stomped her foot and made a face at her brother’s back.
Annie pulled her hand over and smiled. “Stacy, it’s fine, next time I’ll help you taking this out on her.”
” Thanks for helping me out, I’ll be able to make her living in hell!” Two of them left and not hiding their vicious heart.
It turned out that Stacy’s change was due to Annie. Abigail turned around and walked towards the building.
She wanted to hide in this place and live a quiet life, but she would always be noticed and made herself in trouble.
For now, the only thing she was sure was that the man who was waiting for her would not let go of her easily. Abigail stared at the half-closed door, her hands were shaking and not dare to open it.
“What? Aren’t you going to come in?” A familiar, magnetic and sexy voice sounded from inside, Abigail’s hand trembled, and the door was fully opened. He was lying there and staring at her.
Abigail’s feet moved towards him without obedience, and his gaze landed on her body, he wanted to take a bite out of her!
Her body began to heat up, and his eyes were too hot, like a raging fire that was going to burn her alive.
