Not One, But Two!

Chapter 67

Chapter 67

Abigail was upset. She knew what Hugh's work was, so she could only blame herself for all this mess. She thought her girls would be fine if they were with Hugh, but now that she thought about it, she realized that being with him was also a risky endeavor as well. She had been careless, so she couldn't blame anyone for that.

Just when Abigail was losing the grip on the little conversation, Valerie came out.

She heard what Arianna said, and she felt sad as well. "Come here, Aria." She looked at her lovingly.

Arianna hesitated. She looked at Abigail, and once her mother nodded, she went over to Valerie.

"This is an accident, girl. Nobody wanted this, so don't blame yourself for it. You're a good girl, just like your sister is. Your father, mother, and I love you. Don't talk yourself down anymore, alright? We'll be worried sick no matter which of you is in trouble. Come, I'll take you to your sister."

"Okay." Arianna nodded.

Abigail was touched to see this. She quickly went into the kitchen and made something for Alissa.

Arianna was fidgeting when she came into the room. She hid behind Valerie and stared at Alissa timidly, who was in their father's arms. She didn't envy her for having Greg's attention, and in fact, she even felt guilty.

"Look who's here, Allie?" Valerie dragged Arianna out from behind her.

Arianna felt nervous, and she didn't know how she should face her sister.

Alissa was surprised to see Arianna, but then she waved at her with a smile. "Come here, Aria. I need hugs and kisses. I almost bade farewell, you know. Hug me!" She extended her arms toward her sister.

All of Arianna's guilt and worry broke apart, and she ran over to hug her sister. "I'm sorry, Allie. It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked you to take my place, none of this would have happened."

"What are you talking about? If I hadn't done that, you might have been in an even worse situation. Besides, I wanted to go with Papa myself. This has nothing to do with you. What on earth were you thinking?" She poked at Arianna's forehead, looking a little angry.
