Not One, But Two!

Chapter 26

Alissa felt a chill running up her spine, and she turned around. When she saw the look on her father's face, she shivered. "Did someone get on your nerves, Daddy?"

Your mother, duh. Greg did not say that out loud, however. He patted the girl's head gently. "I have to handle something, so can you play by yourself for a bit?"

"Are you going to fight Mommy again?" Alissa asked.

Greg paused. How on earth did she get to that conclusion? He asked, "Why do you ask?"

"Because I feel like you and Mommy aren't on good terms. You guys always fight. Daddy, did you make Mommy sad? Or did you cheat on her five years ago? Is that why she took us away and didn't let you know about us?"

Alissa was young, but her questions were sharp. "Um, I'll answer those when I come back."

"Okay. Don't forget it."

Since Alissa was agreeable and adorable, Greg believed her. "Sure. Why don't I take you with me? We can get something to eat on the way back."

"Okay!" Alissa cheered up.

They went to take a shower and get changed before they went out. Greg looked at the cars in his garage. The car he liked the most was trashed, and it would take some time before it could get repaired, so he picked another one and went to the mall with Alissa.

Jonathan came to the mall in a hurry after he found out that Abigail was there as well, so he came earlier than Greg did. When the staff told him what happened, he felt angry. This probably isn't the first time Emma has used my name to get what she wants.

He suddenly had the urge to break up with Emma. In fact, he had that idea ever since Abigail returned. He ignored Emma and didn't tell her family that she was arrested, then he went to the control room and found out where Abigail was. He quickly went to her. "Abbie!"

His voice attracted the attention of the rich ladies.

"Hey, that's Jonathan, right?"

"Emma said he's Abigail's ex, but he's here to see Abigail instead of busting her out? What's going on?" Someone sniffed the air. "I smell gossip. A fresh one at that."

They, once again in the span of three chapters, had another discussion.
