Fandrey and Callum were caught off guard by Leonard’s actions. “You’re…”
There was a look of regret on Leonard’s face. “I’m so sorry that I betrayed all of you even though you took care of me so well. How can I live on like this?!”
Both Fandrey and Callum did not believe that Leonard was truly here to apologize. If Leonard truly felt regretful for his actions, he wouldn’t have schemed against Thomas and Braelynn at all. He must have come here for another purpose.
Callum knew that Leonard probably had ill intentions, but he couldn’t let him keep kneeling like this. He reached out to pull Leonard up and said, “Get up first!”
Leonard stood up and apologized profusely to Fandrey and Callum. Then, he finally told them his intentions, “I’m not only here to apologize, but I have to ask you for a favor.”
Fandrey did not agree to it and he asked instead, “What is it?”
“I want to marry Abbie and ‘ve already discussed it with teh Clark family. I just need a highly respected person to help me formally propose this marriage. I don’t know anyone else, so I have no choice to look for you and I hope you can help me!”
Both Fandrey and Callum were shocked. Callum did not believe that the Clark family would agree to their marriage. “Have you really reached an agreement with the Clark family?”
“Of course! I don’t have to lie to you. Grandpa, can you help me with this? I swear that I will change my ways and I’ll never repeat my past mistakes again!”
Fandrey pondered for a moment before he nodded. “Alright, I’ll help you!”
Leonard thought that Fandrey would reject him and he was planning to persuade him even more at first. However, he swallowed all of his words when he saw how easily Fandrey had agreed to his request.
He then said goodbye after straying in the Floyd family for a while. After that, Fandrey immediately called William when he sent Leonard away.
“William, did the Clark family really agree to Leonard and Abbie’s marriage?”
“That’s impossible. It’s just Leonard’s wishful thinking.”
“Then why did he ask me to help him discuss the marriage with the Clark family if they don’t even agree to it? What the hell is Leonard up to? Is he using me to do his dirty deeds again?”
“Leonard can’t do any shady business right now, so the only reason that he wants you to discuss his marriage with the Clark family is just to get back at you. Either way, they won’t agree to his request, so you can just go over and watch how he’ll settle things.”
Fandrey was relieved when he heard William’s words. “Okay, then I’ll go to the Clark family with him and see how he’ll fix this.”
When Michael heard that Leonard had invited Fandrey to ask for Abbie’s hand in marriage, he immediately rushed back to the Davis family.
Michael went straight to the garden when Wayne was on his daily stroll. “Grandpa, Leonard asked Fandrey to go to Clark family to ask for Abbie’s hand. What are you going to do?”
“This… the Clark won’t agree, will they?”
“Do you think it’s up to you to decide? I don’t want that man to be my child’s father, so you’d better settle this!”
Wayne said, “Why don’t you fight for custody over the child?”
“How can you have the guts to go to court? And do you think the Clark family will allow you to do that? You don’t even have a legitimate reason!”
“What else can I do? I’ve already apologized, but they won’t buy it and I don’t really have no choice.”
“Why not? Aren’t you going to give all your assets to Abbie as compensation? Were you just giving empty promises? Hurry up and do it!”
“This…” Wayne felt as if his heart was about to break when he thought of how much money he had to give away. However, when he thought of his grandson’s current situation, he could only grit his teeth and say, “Okay, I’ll go to the Clark family again!”
“That’s not the problem now. Instead, you need to give all your assets to Abbie beacuse that’s the only way you can show your sincerity.”
“I’m going to prepare it right now. Michael, what if she doesn’t forgive you even after I give her all my money? Wouldn’t that be a waste?”
“This is not what you should be concerned about. The only thing you need to do now is to make it up to her. Abbie hates you and Mom the most, so you need to get her forgiveness first before she’ll be willing to forgive me.”
Abbie had received countless apologetic messages and phone calls from Michael over the past few days, but she ignored them. She deleted all of his messages and hung up as soon as she heard his voice.
However, Michael refused to give up and he kept changing numbers.
Abbie angrily changed her number, but he managed to call her again a few minutes after that.
Abbie gnashed her teeth in fury at his shameless behavior. She wanted to see what he was trying to do, so she picked up the phone and said, “Hello!”
“Abbie, it’s me.”
“Who the f*ck are you and why are you calling me? Are you sick in the head?”
“I’m Michael, can we meet for a while?”
“No!”
“Abbie, I’m begging you. I have something very important to tell you.”
“I don’t want to hear it. Michael, I have nothing to do with you and I don’t want to talk to you.”
“I love you. Abbie, you’re the person I love the most, so please see me for the sake of my feelings, okay?”
“There are a lot of people who love me, do you think I have the time to meet every single one of the?” Abbie sneered.
Michael had no choice but to mention their child. “Abbie, we have a child together! We have such a close relationship and we’re parents now, so why don’t we meet for our child’s sake?”
“What? Haha! Then I nothing more to say to you. Michael, I know what you want to do. You can give up on fantasy because I won’t give my child to anyone! Dream on!”
“Abbie, I’m not going to take Emma away from you, so please meet me, okay? I’ll go to the Clark family to find you if you still refuse to see me.”
Abbie, who was extremely angry, but she laughed and said, “Are you threatening me? Do you really think that I’ll fall for it? I’ll ask the bodyguards to beat you up if you dare to make trouble here. You can give it a try if you dare!”
“You’ve misunderstood me. I’m not threatening you, I just miss you too much!” Michael explained. “My life is meaningless without you, so I won’t mind even if your bodyguards beat me up. I don’t see a point in living anyway, so I’ll come over now!”
When Michael arrived at the Clark family half an hour later, he got out of the car and said that he wanted to see Abbie. The bodyguards stopped him, but Michael stayed at the door and refused to leave. The bodyguards didn’t dare to do anything because they knew who Michael was, so they had to call Abbie.
Of course, Abbie would not let the bodyguards kill Michael. She just asked them to ignore him and stop him from entering.
However, Michael refused to leave. After he stayed for an hour, Abbie finally couldn’t bear it anymore and went out to see him.
When they went to a cafe near the villa, Abbie was so furious that she glared at Michael. “Why don’t you just get to the point?!”
