Not One, But Two!

Chapter 259

Abigail was stunned for a bit, shocked.

No matter what, she knew for a fact that Sasha loved and cared for Emma. What caused her to disregard even her own daughter's reputation?

"What's going on? Explain."

As she sobbed, Emma told Abigail everything she heard from Sasha. When she was done, she cried pitifully again, but when she remembered that Abigail didn't like to see her crying, she hastily covered her mouth. However, Abigail didn't stop her this time.

On the contrary, the woman was actually quite surprised that Emma didn't go with Sasha.

However, Abigail couldn't give Emma the comfort she needed. She was already being gracious enough by not rubbing salt in the wound. "Now you know how it feels to be betrayed by your own kin, eh? Remember how you treated me five years ago? My closest sister plotted against me with my father and trapped me in the basement. Do you now understand how I felt when you decided to sell me to the boss of the furniture court?"

Her words were cold and distant as if she were talking about someone else. However, her tone caused Emma to feel shame.

Sometimes, one could only know how something felt after experiencing it for themselves. Now, she was regretting to the extreme. Meanwhile, Abigail naturally understood why Emma would keep apologizing to her over the phone.

She looked at Emma and said calmly, "Emma, there are some things you can repair, but some forms of injury can never be undone once inflicted. Things are just nice between us right now. Don't think that I'll forgive or even love you more. I can't do it, nor do I want to. In my opinion, only a fool would use others' faults to cause themselves to suffer. Treating you like this is already a great favor for Philip's sake. If it weren't for Philip who raised me, I wouldn't have cared even if you died."

With that, Abigail walked out of the room.

Emma was stunned by Abigail's words. Is there no hope left? Can I no longer return? Even if I admit to my faults, can we no longer be family? What if I really, really want Abigail to be my family, though?

Emma cried again, but her sobs this time were suppressed.

As soon as Abigail went out, she bumped into Greg, who was eavesdropping at the door.

He didn't even show any awkwardness for getting caught red-handed. Instead, he grinned and said, "I thought you'd forgive her."

"I have no interest in being a saint. However, the prestigious Mr. Buckley actually listened in on a woman's conversation. Don't you feel ashamed for that?"

"Listening in? I have a reason to be here! I didn't go in because I feared that your words wouldn't carry enough weight, so that's why I put up with standing here."

Abigail didn't have the energy to refute Greg's forced reasoning.
