Chapter 216
Greg's brows were tightly knitted, and his hands dug into Abigail's shoulders as if he would never let go.
Abigail felt like teasing him when she saw how worked up he was becoming.
"What of me? Your mother looks down on me, and yet I'm supposed to act like I'd die without you just to prove that my feelings for you are real?"
Her retort vexed Greg even further.
"You could show a teeny bit of reluctance, couldn't you? Why do I feel like you don't even care whether I leave or not? Abigail, you're not still thinking about breaking up with me, are you? I'm warning you, and it's till death do we part, so don't even think about leaving me."
Greg spat his words out as domineeringly as he could, but at the very next moment, Abigail tiptoed and planted her lips onto his.
Her arms circled around his neck, and though their kiss was pretty tame, it still took Greg by surprise, but he soon responded in kind and deepened the kiss.
Things got rather hot and heavy as they continued kissing in each other's embrace.
Just then, Teal came out for a glass of water, but as soon as she spotted the scene by the balcony, she quickly fled back into the study.
Oh my god! Aren't they getting a little too into it in public?
Teal's face was red as she gingerly closed the door to not disturb them.
Soon, Abigail finally pushed Greg off as she gasped for breath.
"Are you trying to suffocate me?"
She pouted and glared at Greg.
Greg chuckled. "Haven't you learned how to control your breathing yet? We should practice a little more."
"In your dreams!"
Abigail tried to stomp on Greg's feet, but he sidestepped it.
He pulled her back into his arms and murmured into her ear, "Trust me. I'll put an end to all this."
"Don't strain your relationship with your mother, or it'll put me in an even tougher position. If you're determined to marry me and me alone, then your mother will become my mother-in-law, but she and I won't be able to get along at all if you fall out with her as well."
Although they could not get along now, at the very least, Abigail had to try to be more gracious about it.
Greg's expression was complicated.
"You don't hate my mother?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
Abigail let go of Greg and said coolly, "I won't deny that I'm not fond of her, but I don't hate her. She and I have different standpoints. I'm a mother, so I know what she's worried about. I just disagree with her and her methods."
"Thank you, Abigail. I'll make sure my mother apologizes to you."
