Chapter 27

Abigail couldn't figure out why Greg looked horrified, though he was already leaving with Alissa, then she heard sounds of footsteps coming from behind.

"I think I saw him here."

"Hey, there are a lot of people who gave him clues about Abigail. Do you think he'll grant everyone's wishes?"

The people were whispering, but Abigail heard them loud and clear. The bounty? She suddenly thought of the bounty. No wonder he came right to me. And I thought Alissa helped him. So it's just him in the end.

Abigail didn't want anyone to look at her, so she quickly went after Greg, though she was starting to get angry.

She went to the nearest Swanson Hut, and since Greg was a special person, he had his own room in the restaurant. When the manager saw Abigail, he quickly led her to where Greg was.

When she came in, she saw him playing with Alissa, and the happy scene triggered her again. I raised that child, but he gets to be her Dad? Why? "Alissa, go out. I need to talk to him."

She wasn't loud, but the air froze. Alissa wasn't stupid. She knew her mother was angry, so she smirked at Greg. "I'll get some ice cream, Daddy."

"I'll get Troy to go with you because it's safer. There are a lot of people here."

"Don't worry. She'll be fine. It's those 'bad guys' you're supposed to be worried about."

Alissa felt slightly insulted. That's Mommy for you.

Greg disagreed, "She's just a child. Do you have any idea how bad things are lately? There are a lot of human traffickers out there. If—"

"I'm fine, Daddy." Alissa felt even more insulted. If there were human traffickers who tried to kidnap her, she would make them regret the day they were born. However, she didn't want to ruin her good girl image Greg had of her, so she went out quickly.

When there was only Greg and Abigail left, she locked the door.
