Blanche didn’t believe his bullshit and pushed him away with a shove.
Kent then went willingly to make dinner.
Abbie left the cafe and went back to think about it all night, then early the next morning she asked someone to get Elena Bush’s contact details and set up a meeting.
Elena Bush didn’t tell Blanche, so she wouldn’t worry, and Logan Brown couldn’t say anything, so he found an excuse to go out.
Abbie’s appointment was at a music restaurant and the atmosphere was quite nice, perhaps because she had cleared out early and the restaurant was just the waiters and …… her in the corner.
“Miss Burne?”
Elena Bush stepped forward and greeted her in a friendly manner.
The latter lifted her face and, for a change from her earlier attitude, smiled instead, “Miss Bush, you’re really here, I thought I wouldn’t get an appointment with you.”
“Since you asked me out specifically, I certainly can’t refuse you.”
Abbie’s smile deepened and she poured a few glasses of wine in front of herself, “I was too impulsive yesterday, I’m here to apologise and drink three glasses to myself!”
With that, the spicy white wine went right into her belly.
Elena Bush smiled and just looked at her.
Abbie finished her drink with a wipe of her mouth and a slick look.
“Miss Bush, I drank all three glasses, so I’m being sincere, right?”
“I can see the sincerity, but I wonder what Miss Burne is trying to do by calling me out here?”
She didn’t believe that the person in front of her was just going to apologise.
Abbie smiled sardonically, looking embarrassed to have been caught out.
Elena Bush got right to the point, “We’re both reasonable people, there’s no need to be formal, just say what you want.”
“No ……” Abbie was a bit anxious, “I’m really just apologising it’s just that, I was wrong about yesterday, I was just so angry because of Blanche that I got you into trouble ……”
She said, with another burst of chagrin.
The words had been said, Elena Bush did vaguely understand something.
The person in front of her was trying to impress her?
Abbie didn’t notice the flicker of realization under her eyes and simply motioned for the waiter to serve the food.
“Miss Bush ……”
“There’s no need to call Miss Bush.” Elena Bush interrupted her words.
Abbie’s face lit up with joy, “I’ll just call you Elena then!”
Elena Bush shook her head, “I’m married, you can call me Mrs. Brown.”
Abbie gritted her teeth as soon as the words came out, but her face was obstinately stiff with a smile, “Yes, yes, Mrs Brown ……”
In his heart, however, he couldn’t help but be disgusted.
Elena Bush gave a shallow smile, “I feel your sincerity and I received your apology, besides it’s just a few small fights, I don’t take it to heart.”
“Really?”
Abbie looked at her with an expectant face.
The latter nodded, “No, you don’t think I’m that petty?”
“No, no!” Abbie didn’t dare admit it anywhere.
Elena Bush nodded harmlessly in a burst of satisfaction, “In that case, then I’m relieved, I thought you hated me too because of what happened yesterday.”
“That’s not possible!” Abbie immediately denied it at her words, “In my opinion, you are a very nice person, it was all because I was too impulsive, that’s why I misunderstood you.”
“No matter, I didn’t take it to heart either.”
Elena Bush said this, but Abbie did not let go of her defences and kept staring at her for half a second before withdrawing her gaze without haste.
The food was soon served and Elena Bush’s brow jumped.
She couldn’t help but be amazed at Abbie’s methods, not only did she get her contact details in a day’s time, but she had even investigated her favourite dishes, so I’m afraid this person was quite powerful.
It was as if Abbie didn’t see the flash of difference in her eyes, the corners of her lips hooked as she pushed all the dishes in front of her, “I didn’t know what to eat, so I just ordered something at random.”
“It’s okay, they’re all my favourites.” She swept her a glance, “You’re quite thoughtful.”
The second half of the sentence, but she didn’t know what she was referring to.
Abbie’s smile deepened, watching her eat comfortably before she finally tensed up and spoke tentatively, “Madam Brown, I wonder if you know anything about Blanche?”
And there it was.
Elena Bush lowered her eyes, put her chopsticks down and pretended not to know, “Blanche?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t really know her, but if Kent likes it, then there’s nothing wrong with it.”
“But …… but, aren’t you worried that Blanche will treat you badly in the future? And aren’t you worried that she’ll cheat on Kent?”
Elena Bush picked up her chopsticks again, looking as if she didn’t care, “What’s the fear? Even if he was cheated, that one was his choice, and he is responsible for what should happen.”
“You’re ……” Abbie looked at her with some annoyance and resentment, “Aren’t you Kent’s sister? Why don’t you even think about him.”
“We have the same father but not the same mother, and we don’t spend much time together, plus he’s not too young and naturally has his own ideas, so it wouldn’t be right for me to interfere.”
“But he’ll get hurt too.”
Elena Bush bit into her chopsticks, “Are you saying that Blanche isn’t the one he loves?”
“I’m not saying that, I just think Blanche is someone who likes to pretend to be a good person when in reality he’s a bad person!”
“How so?” She finally stopped looking like she was staying out of it.
Abbie’s heart rose with hope, “I met Kent a long time ago, and even then Kent and I liked each other, and she stole Kent from me!”
She took her hand anxiously, “Elena, I don’t know what you heard at Blanche’s, but she did get in between me and Kent!”
“Miss Burne ……”
“Elena, can you help me? I really can’t live without him, and I love him with all my heart!”
Abbie’s grip on her hand didn’t half let go, hot tears falling onto the back of her hand, unbearably hot.
Elena thought that if she hadn’t touched Blanche beforehand, she might have actually believed her words, only sadly …… there are no ifs in the world!
Abbie didn’t notice her look and just continued to plead, “Elena, I really can’t find anyone to help me anymore, they’re getting married in a month and then it’ll all be too late!”
Elena Bush withdrew her hand without moving, “How am I supposed to believe you when you say that?”
“Is that why you don’t believe me?”
“After what happened yesterday, you think I’d believe that easily?”
Abbie stumbled over her words and stammered for half a second.
Elena Bush clapped her hands together and got up, “If what you say is unsubstantiated then I have nothing more to say, let’s call it a day.”
“Wait!” Abbie shouted at her sharply, “What if I said that I had proof?”
