Chapter 234

It turned out that Abigail had just received a picture of Greg from the man himself. However, the way he posed for the picture was rather unsightly as his lips were seen pouting on his handsome face. At the same time, the photo of his good looks was accompanied by a caption that read, 'I want you, sweetheart!'

As soon as she read those words, her imagination began running wild. In the meantime, she felt a burning desire surging through her body as if it was going to take over her. What a rascal! Is he trying to turn me on now?

She covered her warm cheeks and reluctantly rejected his romantic advances. 'I'm a little tired now, so let's not talk about that now.'

After reading Abigail's reply, Greg couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed. 'Oh, dear. I guess I'm losing my charm now. My sweetheart doesn't want me anymore.'

On the other hand, Abigail sniggered while picturing the cheeky look on Greg's face. That dude is such a lovely rascal, isn't he? She then put her phone aside, indulging in the sweet rush of excitement that flowed through every single vein in her body as her heart melted. After she took a shower, she began to feel tired before she unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, when Greg didn't receive a reply from Abigail, he quickly thought of the treatment she was giving Teal. After all, it had been two hours since he sent out the picture before Abigail replied. Thus, he reckoned she must have finished her therapy not long ago, thinking she was probably exhausted at that moment.

A moment later, he gave Alissa a video call when the latter was idling away her time with nothing better to do.

Although Alissa had been enjoying her current stay very much, she didn't like her lifestyle of being restrained and controlled in many ways. After all, there was no denying that Teal treated the sisters hospitably, especially by making their favorite food, but Alissa didn't feel comfortable with it because the place she was staying was not her home. Furthermore, her boredom was killing her as she couldn't find anyone to play with her.

Unlike her sister, Arianna was able to kill her boredom by playing computer games as she had nowhere else to head to. Therefore, she felt as if she was incarcerated in a cell and suffocating from her lack of freedom. When Alissa received Greg's video call, she immediately slid the 'answer' button across the screen. "Help us, Daddy!"

"What happened? Who is trying to bully my lovely girls?" Meanwhile, Benjamin had goosebumps running all over his skin when he heard Greg's gentle voice.

Is Mr. Buckley the same guy we've always known? It's no wonder people say a man's daughter is his past lover.

Alissa pouted and answered, "No one is bullying us, but we're bored to tears right here. I want to go home." While Arianna hadn't said a single word thus far, she paused what she was doing and walked closer to Alissa.

"Do you miss me, Arianna?"

"Yes, I do." Arianna smiled gorgeously, which was in contrast to Alissa's childish and cheeky smile.

Greg replied with a gentle voice, "I'll talk to your mother later and ask for her permission to take you both home. In fact, she's gone to the Frasers Residence because she needs to treat Teal's condition, plus she can't take care of you both herself because her foot is injured. Anyway, I'm going to need to talk to your mom about that, so please bear with me, girls."

"You suck, Daddy. How can you be so scared of Mommy?"
