Not One, But Two!

Chapter 63

When Valerie heard that Abigail was about to purchase a house, she was totally against the idea. "There are so many rooms at home—Greg can't live in all of them at once. Why does Abigail have to spend all that money for a new place?"

"This isn't her own home, after all, Mom. You can't stop her from buying a house," Greg replied. He clearly knew what his mother was implying, and his mother gave him a fierce glare upon hearing his words. This brat! He doesn't notice it now, but he'll regret it when he finally realizes that he actually likes Abigail. I'd like to see how he'll deal with things then.

Greg simply pretended not to notice Valerie's glare. "I think it's good since we're just next door. The kids can come over anytime, and it'd be safe for them."

"How is this sh*tty plan good?" Valerie, who was usually a well-mannered woman, was so annoyed at her son that she began to swear. All of a sudden, Abigail felt an urge to laugh. "This is my decision, Old Madam Buckley. You should let him be," she uttered.

"This guy's an idiot, Abigail!" Valerie was furious. Greg didn't say anything more—he simply excused himself and returned to the study. During noontime, Greg and Abigail went out to meet Cody. After a brief introduction, Abigail found out that Cody was a doctor too. She was pleased to hear that. "I look forward to learning from you, Mr. Kottler."

"It's my pleasure to be friends with the best surgeon in the world." Cody shook her hand politely. Both of them quickly went through the procedures to have his property transferred to her. Abigail didn't bat an eyelid as she transferred the huge sum of money to Cody, but Cody gazed at Greg thoughtfully after seeing her make the payment. "Are you letting the woman pay? You're getting more and more impressive nowadays, Greg."

Greg felt his face burning. "It's not that! I—"

"I'm the one who wants to buy a house, so it makes sense for me to pay. Furthermore, Greg and I are just friends," Abigail said. Greg felt somewhat displeased after hearing her words. He didn't want others to know about his relationship with Abigail, so he was secretly glad when Abigail offered to move out. That way, Genevieve would no longer misunderstand his relationship with Abigail.

However, when Abigail spoke to Cody and verbalized the fact that she was only friends with Greg, he felt an uncomfortable feeling in his chest. How could Cody not realize the mix of emotions that had surfaced on Greg's face? "Hmm, friends! Indeed, friends shouldn't pay for their friends," Cody commented.

Greg felt more dejected than ever. "Do you have nothing better to do recently?"

"I do! I'm spending time with my wife," Cody replied before letting out a smug chuckle.
