Chapter 1738 Kneel Down

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

Donald and Helen immediately looked at Abbie when they heard this, but she just lowered her head sheepishly. Donald softened his voice and said, “It’s okay, you can tell us anything. We are your family, so you don’t have to feel burdened.”
These words comforted Abbie greatly. “I didn’t lose my memory… no, I lost it in the past, but I regained all my memories.”
Richard was not surprised since he already knew the truth, but Donald and Helen were astonished. “When did you remember everything?”
“When I was in the United States.”
“Why didn’t you contact us?”
“I wanted to, but Leonard… he used Emma to threaten me and I was worried that Emma would be hurt.”
A malicious glint flashed across Richard’s eyes. Leonard, that b*stard!
Abbie noticed it because she knew Richard very well. How could he be indifferent if he knew that Leonard was threatening her? So, she immediately said, “Richard, I know that Leonard is not a good person and I’m very clear that he has ulterior motives when he saved me. However, I wouldn’t be alive right now if it weren’t for him. Besides, Leonard helped me restore my memory as well. Even if he has made a huge mistake, please don’t deal with him so harshly.”
Donald was also very angry when he heard that Leonard had threatened Abbie. However, he slowly nodded after he listened to her and said, “That’s true. No matter how unreasonable Leonard is, he really saved Abbie’s life. We can’t scheme against him.”
Richard suppressed his anger and said, “We really have to thank Leonard for saving Abbie, but we can’t allow him to threaten her. It’s all up to him now. If he dares to do it again, he can’t blame me for being rude.”
“Richard, I’ve returned to your side now and Emma is also with us. Leonard won’t be able to threaten me with you and Dad around, but I’m worried about the Davis family right now. They’re really quite shameless. I don’t think Wayne and Meadow’s apology is sincere, and it must be because they must know about Emma. What if they’re planning to steal Emma from me?”
Helen grew frantic. “That’s right. We really need to discuss this matter. After all, Michael is a lawyer and he is skilled at dealing with the law. We can’t let him steal Emma away.”
“I won’t give him a chance!” Richard snorted. He wouldn’t allow Michael to take Emma away at all!
“The Davis family better stay away from us and we can’t let them have the chance to get close to us. I’ll hire more bodyguards to protect Abbie as well. They will never be able to get any closer to Emma without our permission.”
Richard and Donald’s words made Abbie feel much more at ease, and Helen was also relieved. So what if Michael was powerful? The Clark family was not easy to deal with, and the Davis family would never be able to take Emma away as long as they were on guard.
Donald didn’t go to the company anymore because he wanted to play with Emma at home. He even called Richard. “Call Braelynn and ask her to come over for dinner at night. We can have a good reunion.”
Richard made the phone call right away while Helen used a toy and played with Emma. At first, Emma was still a little timid, but she let her guard down in the end when Helen made her giggle.
Helen’s love for Emma grew even more than before.
“I used to think that Valeria’s twins were so handsome and cute, but now I think that my granddaughter is better than them.”
Donald was speechless when he heard this. “Valeria has sons and Abbie has a daughter, so how can you compare their looks like this?”
“I’m pretty sure none of the girls around look better than them, right? Only Emma can compare to them.” Helen couldn’t help but laugh as she thought back to how Santhos and Cade had been arguing over Emma.
“What are you laughing at?” Donald looked at her in confusion.
“I remembered how Cade and Santhos fought over Emma. Come to think of it, they seem to be about the same age. They can be together when they grow up in the future…”
“Why don’t you stop daydreaming? They’re only children, but you’re already thinking about their marriage in the future?”
“Can’t I just think about it? Those two fellows are quite intelligent. Not only that, but they’re handsome and they come from a good family. They’re a perfect match for Emma!”
After that, Donald carried Emma and left. “I’ll bring you out to look at the flowers, let’s not entertain Grandma’s fantasies anymore.”
Helen immediately chased after him when she saw him walking toward the garden with Emma in his arms. “Wait for me! I’ll go with you!”
At six o’clock in the evening, Leonard went to the Floyd family with bags of gifts with his assistant.
It was time for dinner, so the entire Floyd family were having their meal at the table. Braelynn was the only one absent at the time.
Everyone was extremely surprised when they heard about Leonard’s visit.
Deborah was extremely disgusted with Leonard. “What is he doing here? How could he have the nerve to come to our house? Ask him to leave!”
However, Callum’s attitude was different from Deborah’s. He glanced at Fandrey and said, “Dad, it’s not good for us to drive him away, right?”
“That’s right. He won’t come to us without a reason. Since he dares to come here, we can’t drive him away or else we’ll be ridiculed.” Fandrey ordered the servants. “Send him in.”
Leonard and his assistant entered the Floyd family with bags of gifts. When they saw Fandrey, they greeted him warmly, “Hello, Grandpa!”
Fandrey looked at Leonard with a complicated expression. Leonard used to call him ‘Grandpa’ in the past as well. He truly treated Leonard as his grandson and he didn’t expect that the latter would do such a thing.
Since he had the nerve to come, Fandrey wanted to see what he was going to do and said kindly, “Have you eaten yet?”
“No.”
“Then let’s eat together!”
“Okay!” Leonard didn’t refuse and he entered the dining hall with his assistant. Deborah hated Leonard to the core, so she just snorted when he greeted her.
Emily’s attitude toward Leonard was also very cold since he had tried to kill Thomas before.
Thomas and Callum were expressionless, so Leonard didn’t know whether they were happy with his presence, After that, he sat down in the tense atmosphere with his assistant and really began to eat.
They used to live together, so the Floyd family treated him like family and they had countless meals together.
Leonard felt very different from before now that he was sitting down and eating together with them. In the past, Deborah would always put food into his bowl with a smile and persuade him to eat more. But now, her expression was cold and she didn’t say a word.
Leonard’s assistant found it hard to eat, but Leonard had quite an appetite and he even asked for another serving of food.
When he followed Fandrey and Callum to the study after dinner, he immediately knelt down with a thud after the door was closed.
