Not One, But Two!

Chapter 215

Chapter 215

Greg walked hand-in-hand with Abigail into the room. The two girls had been sitting quietly on the bed, but once they saw Greg, they scampered over at once.

"Daddy, you're here!" Alissa had a foolish grin as she stared at the cake in his hands.

Arianna was a lot more well-mannered. She smiled sweetly and said, "Hi, Daddy."

"Hi, girls. Come and have some cake." Greg passed the cake over to the two children.

Alissa opened the box and immediately began munching on a slice while Arianna watched from the side.

"Aria, this is a sugarless version that I asked the baker to make especially for you. So, it won't affect your asthma if you eat this one."

Greg passed another bag over to Arianna.

Abigail was surprised.

She kept fixating that Arianna should not be eating sweet things, but she never considered the possibility of finding sugarless versions of these sweet desserts.

When Arianna heard that she could eat some cake, she immediately looked at Abigail with eager and expectant eyes.

All at once, Abigail chided herself for being a careless mother. At least, she had not done as good a job at parenting as Greg had.

"Since Daddy got it for you, it's fine to go ahead and eat."

"Thank you, Daddy!"

This was the first time Arianna was ever so ecstatic about something.

Alissa laughed. "Aria has never been able to eat cake. She could only watch me eat it last time, but now she can eat it too. You're amazing, Daddy."

"I'm not the amazing one. The baker is."

Greg reached out and stroked the top of Alissa's head.

He could finally rest easy now that he had confirmed with his own two eyes that the girls were healthy and energetic.

He had no idea what his mother was thinking.

How could she bear to drug such precious children? What if the drugs had adverse effects on them? Who would be responsible for that?

Greg was able to empathize fully with the way Abigail must have felt. If the person who did it had not been his mother, he might have done far worse than what Abigail did.

As this thought flashed across his mind, he glanced at Abigail apologetically.

Abigail shook her head slightly.

They were still very much in tune with one another. Abigail knew what Greg wanted to say, but it was not his place to apologize to her for what had happened.

Alissa was digging into her cake, but her eyes glanced between Abigail and Greg. When she saw that they seemed to be exchanging looks with one another, she had to ask," Mommy, Daddy, what are you guys doing?"

"Nothing. Just eat your cake," Abigail answered somewhat sternly as she threw Alissa a look.

However, Greg went forward and pulled the two girls into a hug before saying with a smile, "Daddy has to go on a business trip. So, I might be gone for up to three days. You two must listen to Mommy during this time and don't make trouble for her, okay?"

Alissa and Arianna were startled.

"A business trip? Where are you going?"

Abigail frequently went on business trips as well, so the girls did not think much of it, but now that Greg was going on one, just as they were trying to figure out if Abigail and Greg were fighting, the two girls started reading a lot more into it.
