Within two days Abbie received the news that Blanche had fallen down the stairs and that the baby had almost been saved, but the wedding had been delayed.
She stomped her foot in frustration, but she was lucky this time!
She couldn’t help but shudder at the thought of Elena Bush’s work and couldn’t wait to contact her.
It just so happened that Logan Brown was at the mall with Elena Bush and the kids, and her call came just in time, so they agreed to meet in a private room at a nearby restaurant.
Figuring it was about time, the little woman didn’t hesitate to tuck the little one into Logan Brown’s arms, “Keep an eye on him, I’ll be back after I go out.”
The man snapped at her movements, “To see Abbie?”
“How do you know?” Elena Bush couldn’t help but be surprised, he had clearly been paying the bill when he answered the phone earlier and hadn’t even noticed her.
Logan Brown let go of his hand without moving, “Go on, get back early.”
Elena Bush was a little surprised, “I thought you were going to stop me.”
“How many years do you think I’ve been with you? What’s the point of talking about it now?”
There was no point in stopping when you knew you couldn’t.
Elena Bush arched her eyes abruptly, couldn’t help but curl her lips, and gave him a quick peck on the cheek before either he or Harvey could react.
“Consider this your reward for knowing how to behave!”
Logan Brown licked his dry lips, his smile wanton, “Then I’ll take that as interest.”
“……”
Elena Bush gave him a depressed glare, “You’re clearly getting an inch!”
The latter raised an eyebrow.
Harvey had a depressed look on his face as he wanted Elena Bush to kiss him too.
Elena Bush snatched ahead of that early and fled straight away.
When she saw Abbie again, she looked extraordinarily spirited this time, compared to the earlier times, as if everything was going her way.
“Elena!”
Abbie waved her hand cheerfully at the sight of her figure, and the two of them went straight into the box.
Even though she had mentioned calling her Mrs Brown, the person in front of her couldn’t seem to remember and kept calling her by her name affectionately.
Elena Bush let her be.
“Elena, you did the Blanche thing, didn’t you?” Abbie’s eyes fell on her with the air of having seen it all before.
She lifted her cup of tea and took a slight sip, her smile shallow, “Who knows? Maybe the stairs were too slippery and that’s why I accidentally fell.”
“You don’t have to hide it from me specifically, I know ……”
“You know what?”
Elena Bush put her teacup down abruptly and looked at her sharply, a wary look in her eyes.
Abbie then realised as an afterthought that she had gotten too carried away and froze for a moment before smiling sardonically, “Yes, sorry Elena, I just got carried away ……”
“Miss Burne, I hope you remember, I didn’t do anything or get involved in anything!”
Elena Bush’s voice was a rare clarity that was impossible to ignore.
The embarrassment on Abbie’s face immediately dissolved into a smile, “I was the one who spoke rashly, don’t mind if I do.”
“And I’m to blame for getting too excited.”
Elena Bush’s face eased up a few notches and she smiled at her.
Abbie saw this, and the little anger she had felt in her heart followed in an instant.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, I just need to know that you understand things too, Elena!”
Elena Bush let go of her cup of tea, and Abbie’s eyes flashed, “Elena, the other day I asked someone to pray to Buddha for a peace charm for you, and I brought one for myself.
Without saying a word, he took the amulet out and slipped it into her hand.
Elena Bush placed it in her hand and surveyed it for a moment, while the faint, ethereal scent wafting through the air made her immediately take it in.
Obviously Abbie was not happy with Blanche as she was, and was worried that she was not ruthless enough, so she had used a little trick on the sly.
It was almost exactly the same as what they had done to themselves initially… did all women think alike?
Abbie looked at her as she stared at the peace amulet with some uncertainty in her heart and couldn’t help but say weakly, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
She did not move and put the peace amulet into her bag, “Thank you, you are really thoughtful too, you even went to ask someone for it.”
Abbie looked embarrassed, “My dad believes in this most in business and stuff, so every now and then he has to pay a visit to the gods, so he naturally believes in it after a long time.”
“Yeah.”
Elena Bush responded indifferently, her face remaining the same as before.
Abbie couldn’t figure her out, so she withdrew her words and said, “Since we have time to spare today, why don’t I show you around?”
“No need.”
Thinking that Kent and Harvey were waiting for her at a nearby mall, she didn’t want to run into Harvey by chance and get him involved.
Abbie had a flash of regret, but was still resilient to stress and it didn’t take long to pull herself together.
“Forget it then, thought you’d be busy too.” Her eyes fell on her and then she couldn’t resist testing the waters, “By the way, how’s Blanche doing in hospital now?”
“Kent’s looking after her, what else could it be?”
Abbie gritted her teeth and couldn’t help but hate a few more!
Only everything didn’t dare to show too much in front of Elena Bush.
“It’s that face of feigned innocence that Blanche fights on that makes it look like nothing, which is why Kent was fooled.”
“Fooled as well as he was willingly fooled.” Elena Bush gave her a sidelong glance, “If you had your way you would have just taken his heart instead of thinking of doing it the other way around!”
“I ……”
Elena Bush’s not at all facetious words left her half-heartedly unable to answer.
“Miss Burne, you have to know better than anyone that the most important thing to keep a man with you for a long time is that heart in your body!”
“But now Blanche has a baby in her belly, how can he even look at me?”
Abbie felt a little aggrieved.
Elena Bush shook her head, “Sometimes it’s not just the baby, I just do what I have to do, but if you can’t have his heart, even without Blanche, he won’t be with you.”
Her words were unapologetic as if a knife had been plunged directly into her chest.
Abbie opened her mouth, nearly choking.
Elena Bush fished out her wallet and put down her tea money, “Blanche is also in hospital for a few days, so you might as well stop for a few days and think about whether Kent is worthy of your love!”
And would she be able to get that man’s love?
If she figured it out, she could let her go, but if she continued to persist …… then don’t blame her for not showing any mercy!
