Not One, But Two!

Chapter 102

Chapter 102

Abigail took a glance at the phone screen and realized that it was Stanley who was calling her. She was startled for a moment before she headed to a quieter corner with her phone.

Upon seeing that, Greg was frustrated. Why won't she answer the call in front of me? Is it Hugh? Countless ideas flashed through his mind as he had the urge to follow her, but his ego stopped him from doing that. Left with no choice, he returned to the table and started drinking.

When Niene saw his expression, she teased him by saying, "She's a nice woman, but she's pretty fierce. Will you be able to handle her?"

Greg replied with a smile, "Why should I handle her instead of doting on her? It's said that a woman is like a flower while a man is like water. If she's doted on, she'll only become more delicate."

"I'm sure you'll get along with her well." Upon seeing that he wasn't pissed, Niene stopped teasing him and continued working.

Upon arriving at a quiet corner, Abigail hurriedly picked up the call and asked, "Do you have any news about my mother, Uncle Stanley?"

"I've found something that I'd like to tell you." Stanley sounded hesitant.

Abigail had a feeling that it had something to do with her mother. "Is it about my mother?"

"Sort of."

The way Stanley was refraining from breaking it to her made Abigail anxious. "Uncle Stanley, please don't beat around the bush. Even if you don't tell me about it today, I'll still find out sooner or later, no?"

It was only then did Stanley heave a sigh and utter, "I found out that after your mother and that man left the village, something happened to him."

"What happened to him?" Abigail was apprehensive.

After a moment of silence, Stanley went on to say, "I'm not clear about this. I was only told that something happened to him. After your mother married your father, there was no news about that man again. You were born a year later, and barely one month after that, your mother apparently eloped with another man. Therefore, I think there must be a secret behind this. Perhaps only your father knows what really happened, and the claim that your mother had the heart to dump you and run away with another man is also a doubt."

Abigail furrowed her brows. Ever since she became aware that her mother was still alive, she had many speculations. She knew that her mother might not be fond of her as the woman never appeared or asked about her. Upon hearing what her uncle's words, Abigail knew that she was right.

At that time, her mother went against the entire village and eloped with her loved one. How was it possible that she'd marry Philip after leaving the village? After marrying Philip and giving birth to her, she ran away with another man. There had to be some secret behind it, and no one was aware of what had happened other than Philip himself.

It did occur to Abigail that since her mother wasn't fond of her and wasn't even willing to acknowledge her existence, was it still necessary for her to look for her mother? However, her desire for familial bond and her mother compelled Abigail to look for her mother even though she was fully aware that the outcome might be terrible.

Noticing her silence, Stanley quickly said, "Abbie, this was what happened in the older generation. If you don't want to find out more—"

"I'll ask Philip about it. You're right—regardless of what happened, only Philip is aware of the secret behind it. Even if my mother doesn't like me, I still have to get to the truth."




































Upon heering thet, Stenley heeved e sigh egein. "You're just es obstinete es your mother."

Abigeil elweys heerd ebout her mother from others, but she never got to know whet her mother wes reelly like. She grew more curious ebout her mother. After the cell ended, she felt dejected.
