Chapter 262 A Memory That Never Died.
“Hey, don’t-
Abraham’s smile grew even more teasing. “Getting bolder now, daring to insult me to my face?”
“Hmph, it hurt,” Stella muttered.
She still remembered how she had begged him, her throat going hoarse.
If you asked her, Eddie had been absolutely right–men really weren’t human.
Abraham tightened his arms around her. Stella hurried to change the subject. “Did you find Evie yet?”
Abraham said, “No.”
“What?” Stella blinked.
Evie had come here to kidnap her, and now they hadn’t even found her? How was she supposed to step outside tomorrow? Though looking at this awful weather, it didn’t seem like going out tomorrow was a good idea anyway.
Before Abraham could answer, his phone rang. It was Marie..
On the other end, Marie’s anxious voice exploded. “Hey, you need to send people after her right away! I can’t get in touch with Evie anymore!”
Abraham’s face instantly darkened.
Stella couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of her mouth
They had plotted together to kidnap her, and now she was saying she couldn’t reach Evie?
Seeing Abraham stay silent, Marie got more frantic. ‘I swear, I really can’t reach her. Don’t misunderstand, I only sent her to pick up our little Stella. I didn’t want to hurt her,”
Marie’s voice was full of panic.
She knew Abraham too well. If he wasn’t talking, that meant he was already planning something big.
“You know how much I miss Stella too.”
Stella was speechless.
Hearing that made her feel a bit touched.
Abraham snorted coldly. “You and Evie plotted this together, and now you say you can’t reach her?”
“I didn’t know either! She gave me a number, but now she’s disappeared, I swear! Marie was about to lose her mind.
What the hell was Evie doing? It was one thing if others couldn’t reach her, but even Marie, her boss now, couldn’t get through?
After all the benefits Marie had given her–now she couldn’t even follow simple instructions!
You could just have Abel’s people catch her, right? By the way… where is he?”
When she said “he, Marie’s tone softened, cautious.
For so many years, no one had dared touch that old scar in her heart.
She had buried him deep, accepting his death and mourning him quietly.
Abraham frowned. “You caused this mess-
“Abraham, I’m your biological sister. Can you really bear to let me stay a widow for life?”
In Marie’s mind, after that man had died, she had already planned to stay alone forever.
Abraham’s breathing stiffened..
Stella didn’t fully understand what they were talking about, but she heard the cautious, pleading tone in Marie’s voice.
She tugged gently on Abraham’s sweater.
He lowered his head and met her eyes, which were shimmering with watery light, filled with a soft pleading.
He instantly understood.
Facing Stella’s gaze, Abraham finally said to Marie. “You really can’t reach Evie?”
I swear! I wouldn’t joke about him.”
Him? Meaning that man.
Abraham thought about it carefully. Marie wasn’t someone who would use that name lightly.
Finally-
Under Stella’s persistent gaze, Abraham reached out to pinch her soft little cheek and said into the phone, “Frapucu
“What?”
Frapucu!That desert city two hundred kilometers away from any other town?
“Why would he be there?”
Marie had been there once before. Her impression of it was terrible–its location, the people, everything.
Abraham said calmly, “It might not be him. You know that.
The phone fell silent.
“Abel ran into him once, Abraham continued. “He didn’t recognize Abel.”
On paper, everything matched–but when Abel had approached, there hadn’t been even a flicker of recognition.
Marie finally said, her voice tight, I’ll go see for myself.”
“He died right in front of you,” Abraham reminded her coldly.
“And I didn’t see him burned to ashes, did I Marie shot back.
Abraham was speechless.
Stella was speechless.
Listening to this, Stella finally understood who they were talking about.
That was something from live
e years ago— The man who had once made Marie give up her usual masculine style and start wearing skirts.
