Breythun zady bediped Alagad today because he didn’t want her to be taken down so quickly if he didn’t, there’d be no one to shield Candace After all there wasn’t another fool like Abigail.
Abigail took a deep breath and pulled her hand away They had reached the entrance of the mansion Stephen turned to look at her, his expression unreadable
“Thank you for today,” she said calmly before turning to leave.
Stephen grabbed her wrist, his brows furrowing together. That’s it?”
She smiled faintly. “What else?”
Stephen’s lips pressed into a straight line. He pulled her closer until their breaths mingled
She found this proximity uncomfortable. It was too intimate given their current situation, so she stepped back. “Stephen, what do you want from me? I’m grateful to you, but there’s nothing more than that.”
His expression turned cold as he questioned, “Abigail, are you an ingrate
Abigail lowered her gaze slightly. “If we had divorced sooner, this wouldn’t have happened to me She looked up at him again. “Sasha is dissatisfied with me, so she targeted me. Stephen, I’m caught up in this because of you.”
Hearing her say that his expression darkened further. He had rushed. Over after seeing her message, only to be met with such words. His enthusiasm was doused with a bucket of cold water.
Seeing her overly calm expression, Stephen suddenly chuckled.
Abigail frowned. “What are you laughing at?”
He replied, “Abigail, you should say something nice to me. If I’m in a good mood, I might divorce you tomorrow. But saying things that displease me makes me not want to let you go.
“In that case, Uncle Miller will keep coming after you. Without my help. next time, how will you escape unscathed?”
“You…” Abigail’s eyes widened slightly. She didn’t expect him to be so shameless. Her cheeks flushed with anger as she tried to pull her hand free, but his grip was firm.
“Behave.” Stephen wrapped his other arm around her waist, leading her toward the car.
“If you wish to die faster, go ahead and struggle. Go ahead and argue with me.”
At these words, Abigail instantly quieted down. She needed to stay calm. After all, they were at the gate of Lockhart Manor, where their every move might be watched.
If they were seen quarreling, those targeting Stephen would come after Abigail the next day. She might face something even harder to deal with than today.
She pursed her lips. It wasn’t until she was sitting in the passenger seat that her expression turned completely cold.
Stephen placed one hand on the steering wheel and used the other to grasp her chin, forcing her to look at him. “Abigail, did you hear what I said? Say something nice to make me happy, or do something to please me.”
Abigail looked at him expressionlessly. “If I do that, will you divorce me immediately?”
His gaze darkened “Maybe”
Abigail’s eyes lit up. He might be toying with her, but she was
genuinely afraid of facing such dangerous days ahead. She leaned in and kissed the corner of his lips.
