Not One, But Two!

Chapter 130

As Greg watched the children play happily, he quietly went to Abigail's side and stretched out his hand to hold hers.

Abigail was momentarily surprised before she smiled. At that moment, she was stunning with her crescent eyes and breathtaking smile.

Niene couldn't help but feel somewhat happy when she saw the two of them like this. When they came last time, Greg and Abigail hadn't made much progress—now, it seemed as if their relationship was developing rapidly.

She pointed to an orchard in front and said, "In the front are all the fruit trees our family planted. You can pick and eat what you like. I'll go back first and prepare lunch for you."

"Mrs. Broddes, don't bother. We brought our own meals."

She already felt embarrassed enough that she had to impose on her, so before she troubled Niene even further, she quickly mentioned that she had already prepared their meals.

Niene smiled and said, "Us rural people don't have anything of value, but we can still manage a meal. You can play as much as you like. When the food is ready, I'll call for you." Niene left as soon as she said that.

Abigail wanted to say something, but was stopped by Greg.

"Forget it. You won't be able to convince her otherwise. Mrs. Broddes is just excited. She hasn't been so for a long time since Mr. Broddes passed away—let's let her keep herself entertained."

When Greg said this, Abigail felt a little sad.

"Didn't Mrs. Broddes find someone else?"

"She said that when Mr. Broddes passed on, her heart went with him, and that she'd only think of him regardless of who she was with."

Greg didn't quite understand what those words meant before, but now he understood. Abigail admired such a loyal woman. The two came to the fruit tree while holding hands.

Alissa and Arianna were happily chasing chickens and ducks. Abigail was afraid that Arianna's asthma would flare up, so she couldn't help but remind her, "Arianna, don't run too fast—be sure to take a break."

"Okay, Mommy."

Since Arianna didn't usually exercise, after a while, she started to sweat profusely. She was exhausted and could only go back to Abigail and Greg to rest.

When she saw her daughter panting in exhaustion, Abigail hurriedly handed over the kettle. "Here—drink some water."

Arianna took it from her hands obediently.

Greg felt a little distressed when he saw that his poor little daughter had only run a few steps and was already in such a state. "I'll go pick some fruits for you, okay?" he asked.

"But what if I want to pick them myself?" Arianna looked excited.

Greg said quickly, "That's easy. Come, climb onto my shoulder. I will carry you up so that you can pick them yourself."

"Really?"

Arianna had longed for fatherly love since she was a child, and she even envied other children when they were lifted up by their fathers, so she had also always wanted to be lifted up by Greg, but she was too embarrassed to ask for it.

Now that Greg took the initiative to say so, Arianna was simply overjoyed.

"Come up!" When Greg saw that her daughter was so happy, he lifted her atop his shoulders, held onto her legs, and ran. "Let's fly!" Greg ran with his daughter on her shoulders.

Arianna yelled excitedly, "Ah! I'm flying! I'm flying!"

The laughter of the father and daughter went straight to the sky.

Alissa glanced at the two, but she didn't envy Arianna much. Instead, she rolled up her sleeves and said to the little duck in front of her, "I bet I can catch you today."

Quack! Quack! The ducks gave two provocative shouts, and then plunked into a nearby pond.

"Darn, that's not fair!"

Alissa immediately became anxious, then she hurriedly found the bamboo pole on the side and swung it toward the pond.

"Get out! Get out of the water!"

"Get out! Get out of the water!"

Abigail couldn't help laughing when she saw the eldest daughter's domineering appearance. "Alissa, the ducks are fine in the water. Don't bother them."

"But Mommy, I didn't catch them yet!" Alissa was very unwilling to let the ducks go.

"Why do you have to catch them? Look how happy they are in the water."
