Not One, But Two!

Chapter 170

Chapter 170

Abigail dismissed the call at once. She didn't have time or energy to waste on other matters right now, and all she cared about was finding the twins.

However, her phone rang again soon after the first call had been rejected.

Abigail frowned. "Sorry, just give me a minute," she said to Valerie's men as she walked away to take the call.

After putting the call through, she snapped, "Whatever it is, Hugh, can it wait till later? I'm a little busy right now."

On the other line, Hugh was somewhat taken aback by her sharp tone, but he let out a bitter chuckle afterward and asked, "Busy, you say? Busy having fun with your new boyfriend, Greg?"

"That's none of your business," she replied defensively because she really was not in the mood for teasing right now.

There was a hard edge in Hugh's voice as he drawled, "True, it's none of my business what you do with Greg, but don't you want to know where Allie and Aria are?"

"What do you mean? Do you know where Allie is? No, wait, is Allie with you?" A sudden realization dawned upon Abigail.

He snorted and said sarcastically, "Oh, now we're talking."

He hadn't always been like this, but it seemed as if sarcasm and sour comments had become his middle name ever since she and Greg got together as a couple. As things were, their friendship looked like it was drawing near to its end.

She sighed and asked, "Where are they? Can you drop me a location?"

Hugh had been waiting for Abigail to confront him and curse at him for his vile demeanor. He was even looking forward to arguing with her. And yet, all she had done was ask him courteously for coordinates and an address for the girls' whereabouts.

At that moment, he felt as if he was being gutted alive. Have we drifted off so far apart that we've become strangers? What went wrong? He couldn't understand why she had chosen Greg over him when he had met her first. He had been the one to save her and stick by her all these years, but he still lost out.

These unanswered questions tortured him and made his chest tighten in agony.

Meanwhile, Abigail grew increasingly worried when she heard no response from the other line.

Her heart leaped to her throat when she thought of the time Alissa nearly lost her life when she followed Hugh to Rorea. Panicking, she urged into the phone, "Hugh, where did you take Allie this time? And how could you take Aria with you? They're only kids! You can't just expose them to gore on your own whim. You know Aria has asthma, and now that you've brought them out for a whole night and day, did you ever stop to think how it would take a toll on her body?"

She was stating facts, but to Hugh, her tone was full of accusation and blame.

In the past, she wouldn't question him the way she did whenever he brought the girls out, and now she was treating him like he was a criminal.

Greg must have fed her lies and nonsense about me.

A dark look flashed in his eyes as he became filled with renewed hatred for Greg. However, he hid it just as quickly and said, "I'm their papa, Abbie. What do you think I'd do to them? Do you think of me as someone who would put your kids in danger?"

Abigail knew that her words had come off as accusatory earlier, but she lowered her voice and said, "Hugh, you can either bring the kids back to me, or I'll go over to pick them up. Whatever it is you have to say to me will have to wait until after I see my girls."

"Fine, then. Come over on your own and pick them up, and don't bring Greg with you."

She was a little baffled to hear this. "But Greg's their father!"

"Even so, he can't come along with you! You know what I'm capable of, Abbie, so don't push my limits."

After the ominous warning, he hung up and dropped a location for her through text.

Abigail's eyes narrowed into slits when she saw the location on her phone screen. What the hell is Hugh up to? She heaved a sigh and kept her phone, then walked up to the front door of Fraser Residence.

Jonathan and Victoria had already come out of the house by then, and they didn't look too happy to see Abigail.

Abigeil dismissed the cell et once. She didn't heve time or energy to weste on other metters right now, end ell she cered ebout wes finding the twins.

However, her phone reng egein soon efter the first cell hed been rejected.

Abigeil frowned. "Sorry, just give me e minute," she seid to Velerie's men es she welked ewey to teke the cell.

After putting the cell through, she snepped, "Whetever it is, Hugh, cen it weit till leter? I'm e little busy right now."
