Chapter 267 Leaving
Eddie smacked his forehead. “It’s over.”
It is really over this time. Turns out this damn girl was going to screw someone no matter what. Too scared to mess with Abraham, so she decided to screw over Marie instead? Seriously! She took Marie’s bribe and bailed?
Eddie lost his words. Hiss!!
She had not changed one bit; she saw a chance to milk benefits off Marie and just went all in. Did she really think Marie’s benefits were that easy to snatch? Has she not learned her lesson after all these years!
Eddie was totally stunned again.
Abraham lit a cigarette and took a drag.
Eddie narrowed his eyes. “So, uh… where is Marie right now?”
And where did Evie go after leaving Rivermount? Heading back to Falvaria now? Does she expect to be hunted down by Marie until she is dead?
Abraham said. “If nothing went wrong, she’s probably already on her way to Frapucu by now.”
“Well, that’s a relief.”
Hearing that Marie was not in Falvaria, Eddie could not help but feel relieved.
Just don’t mention it to her for now.”
Telling Marie now that Evie tricked her out of something good again, with her kind of temper, they will be tearing the place down in no time. Seriously, what is with Mariel Star is with her brother–how could she possibly run away again? And she actually teamed up with Evie? They have been fighting for so many years. Of all people to trust, she picks Eve! Seriously?
Abel said, “She’s going to find out sooner or later.”
I’m begging you, don’t say anything.” Eddie said.
Now he finally got it. Abel might not talk much and always looked so refined. But the moment he spoke, he somehow managed to make everyone more anxious. Right now, what Eddie feared most was hearing Abel speak.
What is with her? Why is she always getting herself into trouble? Why pick a fight with Marie after all these years? What has she even been up to? And Marie as well whenever she sees even a hint of Evie, it is like she is itching for a fight. Great, now they have been screwed over with the benefits. I wonder what exactly it was Marie gave to Evie. But whatever it was that made Evie do this for her, it had to be something big.
It was almost ten o’clock by the time Stella finally got up. A cup of water sat on the bedside table, kept warm by the thermal cup. The warmth of Abraham was no longer in the blanket, so he must have gotten up early. Stella sat on the bed, still feeling a bit dazed. Although she often used to stay close to Abraham when they were kids, sleeping together now felt entirely different. Especially when he hugged her, his body responded without any restraint.
“You’re awake?”
The man’s magnetic voice broke through, interrupting Stella’s thoughts. Stella looked toward the door and spotted Abraham walking in, wearing a set of smoke–gray loungewear. Good–looking people can pull off anything they wear. Though Abraham dressed casually, it did nothing to hide the coldness and innate nobility that surrounded him.
Still half–asleep, Stella mumbled, “Bro.”
Abraham stepped forward, gently pulling her from the blankets and pressing her against his chest. “Say my name,” he murmured, “let me hear it.”
“Turry up and call me, Abraham said.
Stella was shocked. Right now?
She could not call out now; it would only happen when she was completely pissed off by him. When she was in her right mind, she would habitually call him brother. She had been used to it since she was little, so changing it now was not going to be that simple.
“Ah… What are you doing. Abraham?” A sudden pain shot through her neck, and Stella yelled out in a panic.
She wanted to escape, but in the man’s hold, there was no way to get away. The man’s low chuckle came from her neck, “Star is being naughty. Stella immediately got flustered
She felt a sharp pain in her neck. “Did you bite me hard enough to make me bleed? We only have half a month left before we return to Falvaria, How am I supposed to explain this when we get back?”
She was losing her mind. Looking at the marks on her neck earlier, she had been thinking they would fade in a fortnight, but then he came again.
Watching her flustered and frantic like a little tiger, Abraham gently kissed her forehead and said, “You don’t need to explain.”
Stella asked, “Why?”
“I’ve already called my mother just now.”
Stella was shocked. “Huh?” What did he say? He, he already said it?
Did he say what she thought he said?
You, what did you say?”
Please do not let it be what she thought. Stella felt her heart leap into her throat at that moment. Abraham pinched her little nose, then turned and grabbed the clothes, about to help her put them on.
“What do you think I said?”
“Did you tell Mom?”
Abraham looked at her with a smile at the corner of his lips. Stella asked, “So, what did you say?”
