Valeria came out to welcome them when Abbie brought Emma with her to the Howard family.
Abbie was shocked when she saw Valeria. “We haven’t seen each other for only a few days, but why do you look so sick?”
“I can’t eat anything and I keep throwing up. I don’t have any energy.” Valeria led Abbie through the courtyard while Cade happily ran out with Santhos. Both of them followed Abbie and continuously reached out to grab Emma’s little feet.
Emma’s large round eyes were wide open as she laughed and waved her little hands.
After they entered the living room, Cade went to pick up some toys while Santhos went to get snacks.
When Valeria asked Abbie to sit down, she couldn’t help laughing when she saw what her sons were doing.
Abbie also smiled and said, “These two guys are just like William.”
“Right. I’m a bit worried when I look at their attitudes toward Emma. What if both of them like her when they grow up? I can’t side with either of them if they fight over her.” Valeria was rather worried.
“That won’t be the case. Emma isn’t that pretty. These two little boys will definitely be very handsome when they grow up and they’ll be surrounded by girls in the future. You won’t need to worry.”
“Why don’t you give birth to another one?”
“Humph! Nonsense, I’m not seeing anyone right now.” Abbie glared at Valeria, who couldn’t help laughing.
After Cade and Santhos kept fighting over Emma’s attention, they invited her in unison. “Let’s go to the park! It’s going to be fun!”
Emma didn’t know what the park was, but she felt happy because both of them looked exactly the same. She grabbed Cade with one hand and Santhos with the other while she giggled happily.
Several nannies brought them to the park in the garden while Abbie and Valeria were chatting in the living room.
Valeria mentioned Michael. “I didn’t know why he looked for my husband last night.”
“Don’t even mention this disgusting b*stard!” Abbie laughed coldly. “Was I f*cking blind back then? How could I have liked him? Not to mention that I almost lost my life, I’ve already drawn a clear line with him, but why am I still being chased and humiliated? If it wasn’t because I didn’t want to scare Emma, I really would have killed Azalea by now.”
“What’s going on? Is Azalea making trouble for you again?”
Abbie nodded and said, “She’s detestable. I don’t know if she’s crazy, but she came to me and rattled some nonsense. Did she think I would care if Michael hooked up with other women? Is she stupid?”
“You don’t have to pay attention to someone like her.”
“I just don’t think I need to entertain someone like her and taint my name. I’ve been more patient ever since I had Emma. If it was in the past, I would’ve destroyed her by now.” The more Abbie spoke, the angrier she became. “I’ll really marry Leonard if this continues.”
“Don’t do that! Why are you angry with someone like Azalea? Leonard has evil intentions and he’s not a good person.” Valeria jumped in fright and immediately tried to persuade her. “Although Michael is a little strange, he has nothing to do with Azalea. He doesn’t seem too bad and at least he won’t hurt you!”
Abbie sneered. “That’s hard to say. Didn’t he let other people hurt me in the end?”
Valeria didn’t want to speak up for Michael at all, but William kept asking her to help him. When she saw that Abbie’s feelings for Michael didn’t change at all, she had no choice but to change the topic.
Meanwhile, in the Wolf Group, Richard came out of the elevator and rushed straight to William’s office.
William was not there, but Marcus was sorting out the documents in his office. When he saw Richard, he greeted him with a smile. “President Clark, please have a seat!”
“Where’s William?” Richard sat down with a straight face.
“Mr. Howard went out to meet a client, but he’s coming back soon.”
William came back after some time and he was surprised to see Richard. “What are you doing here?”
“There’s two things.” Richard stretched out two fingers to William.
“The first one is about my wife. I want to go to the Floyd family to propose marriage, but I need to ask someone who’s highly respected to go with me. I can’t find anyone reliable, so please give me some advice.”
William replied, “No problem. What about the second one?”
“The second one is about Abbie. Just now, my mother called and said that Leonard, that b*stard, asked his assistant to go to my house. He gave me some expensive gifts as well as some wedding suggestions. Is this b*stard pushing his luck? If it weren’t for Abbie’s sake, I would’ve killed him by now!”
William comforted Richard with a smile. “All right, don’t be angry. We won’t have any problems dealing with Leonard, so you don’t have to be angry.”
“How are you going to deal with him?” Richard was extremely anxious.
“I won’t keep you guessing anymore. Do you know about Evelyn, the daughter of the Gurney family who got pregnant?”
“Yeah, didn’t she say that the child is yours?” Richard laughed. “What’s the relationship between Leonard and Evelyn?”
“Leonard pretended to be me and go together with Evelyn for a while.”
“So Evelyn’s child is Leonard’s?” Richard suddenly understood why William had asked him to make such a request to Leonard.
Therefore, it was impossible for Leonard to marry Abbie. Richard was happy when he heard this and continued discussing his marriage proposal to the Floyd family.
William smiled and said, “I’ll ask my father-in-law and my grandfather go. My father’s relationship with my grandparents hasn’t eased, so he probably shouldn’t get involved in this matter.”
“Okay, tell your father-in-law that I’ll visit him in the evening.”
William smiled and said, “Speaking of marriage proposals, I just thought of Raymond as well. Can you can do me a favour and ask your father to go to the Taylor family with my father?”
“Okay! No problem!” Richard promised.
“Just accept Leonard’s gifts for the time being because Evelyn will settle everything else. Since he’s Abbie’s saviour, you should save some of his dignity. We can make further plans if he’s still keen on digging his own grave.”
After Richard agreed with William, the latter mentioned Michael. “What do you think of Michael? He has a child with Abbie, so you…”
“Don’t even think about it. Didn’t you see that b*stard’s scandal? Even if his relationship with Azalea is fake, Anastasia can’t be fake as well, right?”
William smiled and said, “Richard, to tell you the truth, it’s also a lie and Leonard was the one behind it.”
“Really?” Richard didn’t believe in Michael, but he completely trusted William.
William smiled and said, “Michael’s feelings for her have never changed. Azalea went to provoke her in the morning, and Michael has already beaten her up.”
“What do you mean?”
“Azalea is now married to that scoundrel Monthel. I just got news that Monthel has taken her to Juxemberg, so she won’t bother Abbie anymore.”
William’s tone was sincere. “Richard, Michael is not a bad person and we’ve been best friends for many years. I hope that you can give Michael a chance to reunite with Abbie, okay?”
