Chapter 69
"What is it? Do you have something to say?" Abigail asked, not giving him any chance to back down.
Stanley paused for a moment, and he bit his lip. "Abbie, I know this might sound harsh, especially coming from me, but I'm doing it for your own good. You think of me as your uncle, so before you find your mother, I am in charge of looking after you."
Abigail wouldn't listen to this tripe in the past, but since Stanley did give her the portrait of her mother, she was patient. "Say what you have to say, uncle."
Stanley looked at her and hesitated for a while. "Who is Greg to you?"
Abigail paused for a moment, then she realized what was going on. "We're friends. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't worry about it, uncle." Abigail felt her heart aching once she said that, but she ignored it.
Stanley heaved a sigh of relief. "Good. Abbie, you're a great woman. You can get any kind of boyfriend you want. Greg is a great friend, but that's it. He's taken. The case with your mother and her sister was a… scandalous one, so to speak. I don't want anyone to think of you as a homewrecker, alright?"
Stanley was being roundabout enough, but Abigail still felt embarrassed. So everyone thinks I'm Greg's mistress? Abigail clenched her fists. "Don't worry. I don't have romantic feelings for him."
If it weren't for the kids, she wouldn't have had any further interactions with Greg. But even so, are people still taking it the wrong way? She looked away.
Stanley sighed. Poor girl. "I know a few great guys. Do you want me to introduce them to you?"
"It's fine, uncle. I have a boyfriend."
Stanley was surprised that she would say that.
When he was about to ask further questions, Abigail's phone rang. She looked at it. It was from Hugh, so she took it in front of Stanley. "Miss me?"
