Azalea could not speak because her jaw was dislocated and she was dragged out like dead weight after the bodyguards dealt with her.
There was a look of satisfaction on Abbie’s face as she looked at the scared waiter and said, “Are you scared? This is your compensation fee and you can place all the other dishes under my tab as well.”
Leonard signalled at the bodyguards, who immediately gave a few stacks of cash to the waiter.
Abbie stepped out and said, “I’m in a bad mood because of that disgusting piece of trash. Let’s eat somewhere else!”
Leonard followed behind her and he had a completely different opinion of Abbie. It was as if he had gotten to know a completely different side of her today.
Her weak personaity when she was willing to compromise to all of his wishes in his manor in the United States no longer existed. This must be how Abbie actually was.
She was a woman who dared to show her emotions and take responsibility for what she did!
Leonard hated women who were weak and insecure the most, so he was deeply impressed by Abbie’s current behaviour.
Abbie asked Leonard after they finished eating lunch in another restaurant, “When can I see Emma?”
Leonard glanced at the time. “It’ll still take a few more hours. Why don’t you take a break first?”
“I don’t need that, I just want to see Emma as soon as possible. Are you sure I can see her today?”
“Of course! Alright, let’s get in the car first and discuss it further.”
Leonard then brought Abbie into the car, but she became a little sleepy after a momentand fell asleep soon.
When Leonard saw that Abbie was asleep, he helped her adjust her seat and ordered the driver, “Let’s go!”
After they drove into Leonard’s villa in B City, he got out of the car and carried Abbie while she was sleeping Abbie into another van. He then asked the bodyguards, “Did you prepare everything?”
“Everything has been arranged according to your instructions.”
“Alright, we’ll take Miss Clark to see Emma in half an hour. Remember, you can only bring her to Emma after making sure that no one is following you.”
After the bodyguard nodded in agreement, Leonard turned around and got into his previous car. Just then, a woman who was dressed up like Abbie walked out of the villa and followed Leonard into the car.
The driver put down covers and drove out of the villa.
The van also drove out of the villa half an hour later.
Meanwhile, William was resting on a chair with his eyes closed in the Wolf Group. The door was pushed open and Bobby came in. “Sir, Leonard took Miss Clark out of the city. and our men are following them.”
“Is that so? Ask them to keep a distance and don’t let Leonard find out.”
William immediately perked up. “Why do you think Leonard is bringing Abbie out of the city?”
“I don’t know.” Bobby answered honestly.
“I have something to tell you. Jaxon has investigated the situation of Leonard’s mysterious girlfriend who just gave birth. He has used all his means and found out that the child is still alive.”
“Really?” Bobby looked surprised. “If the child is still alive, where are they now?”
“I don’t know, I’ve been curious about this as well.” William shook his head.
“Does Miss Clark know that Leonard has a girlfriend and a child?”
“I still don’t know, so let’s wait and see what happens. I hope that we’ll find out something by following Leonard today!”
Abbie could already see neon lights flashing past the windows when she woke up and she was still in the car.
Abbie sat upright and glanced at the car’s interior. She found that the driver was Leonard’s most trusted bodyguard. However, Leonard was not in the car and she was in a different vehicle than before.
When the bodyguard saw that Abbie had woken up, he immediately said, “We’ll be there soon. Miss Clark, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something before meeting your daughter?”
“No, I want to visit Emma first.”
The car drove into a residential building about than ten minutes later. Then, the bodyguards stopped the car and brought Abbie to the elevator until they reached a unit.
Abbie heard a child’s cry from within the room when she was still at the door, so she quickly entered the room. The nanny was currently coaxing Emma in her arms, but Emma’s face was flushed red and her voice was hoarse from crying.
Abbie’s heart ached greatly when she saw this, so she grabbed Emma from the nanny’s arms and began to coax her daughter. After a while, Emma gradually fell asleep after Abbie hugged her for some time.
The expression on Abbie’s face was extremely ugly as she hugged Emma, which made the nanny was a bit scared. “I don’t know what’s going on with Miss Emma today and she kept crying. She wasn’t like this before.”
Abbie ignored the nanny and looked at the bodyguard. “Call Leonard. I have something to tell him.”
The bodyguard didn’t dare to say anything more when he saw Abbie’s gloomy face, so he immediately dialed Leonard’s number. “Mr. Floyd, Miss Clark has something to say to you.”
“Abbie, have you seen Emma?” Leonard asked very gently.
“Yes, but my daughter has been crying so much that her voice is hoarse. I don’t know how long she would keep crying if I didn’t come over. Is this how you’re planning to take care of her?
“How could this be? The nanny must be incompetent, and I’ll get them to hire another one right away.”
“That isn’t the point! Emma is still so young and it’s so pitiful for her to not be with me. As her mother, I don’t trust anyone to take my place and care for her!”
“Abbie, I know you’re worried about the child, but we agreed that we’ll talk discuss this when the time is comes.”
“Yes, I agreed beause I thought that Emma would be taken care of. I thought that I would be at ease, but things are different now. Leonard, just tell me what you want and I’ll agree to anything for the sake of the child.”
“Well, I don’t have an ulterior motive towards you at all and I’ve always prioritised you.” Leonard still wanted to act warm towards her, but she didn’t appreciate it. “Well, I’ve made it very clear that my child is the most important thing for me. I can give in for Emma’s sake, so please tell me what you wanty!”
Leonard sighed. “You’ve misunderstood me. How about this? Come back and we’ll discuss it properly.”
“I’m worried about Emma!”
“I know. I was negligent this time, but I will send someone else to take care of her. You’ll be at ease the next time you see her.”
Abbie knew that Leonard would not compromise over the phone. He would not give in to her unless he achieved his goal, so it was useless for her to argue with him now. Since it was pointless to talk to him further, she directly hung up the phone.
The nanny’s face was pale and she knelt in front of Abbie when the latter hung up the phone. “Miss Clark, I didn’t abuse your child and I took good care of her. I really don’t know what happened to her today and I can’t seem to coax her to sleep. I’m not lying to you, so please believe me!”
Abbie looked at the nanny’s frightened eyes and sighed. Of course, she knew that the nanny could not abuse her child.
Even if that was the case, the nanny would not choose to abuse the child right in front of Abbie. “I didn’t say that you abused Emma, but I’m just worried because she’s too young. Get up, you don’t have to be afraid and I promise that no one will hurt you”
The nanny stood up only after hearing Abbie’s words. Abbie then stayed with Emma for about three hours before the bodyguard reminded her, “Miss Clark, it’s about time. We have to go back now.”
Abbie glanced at the clock before handing Emma over to the nanny again and helplessly leaving with the bodyguards.
