Chapter 535 Abigail, Save Me

Upon seeing Abigail’s unwavering decision, Analise had no choice but to relent. She had already done her best to assist Sean in persuading her granddaughter, but she couldn’t push her too hard due to her stubbornness. “Well, the rest is up to the two of them,” she thought.

“Grandma, I’m going back to Capitalis,” Abigail announced, still unwilling to stay. With so many people taking care of Sean, she had nothing to worry about. Moreover, every moment spent here reminded her of the past when Lina used to criticize and bully her relentlessly. Just the thought of those tormenting days made her feel suffocated.

After Abigail left, Colby couldn’t help but sigh. Standing in the doorway, he said to Analise beside him, “This place holds too many unpleasant memories for her. Staying here would only upset her, I suppose.”

As soon as Abigail disembarked the plane in Capitalis, she bumped into Eric, who had just returned from

work.

“Traveling on business again?” Eric asked, his voice filled with delight upon seeing her. “What kind of fate brings us together at the airport?”

“Nope. I went back to my hometown to check on my grandmother. She has some matters to deal with in Pendorf, and she hasn’t returned yet.” Abigail explained.

“You haven’t had dinner, right? How about we grab a meal together?” Eric suggested. It had been a while since he last saw her, and witnessing the changes in her made him feel emotional. “The girl whose hands used to chap in winter because of her job is now the boss of two companies.”

“You’re always busy every day, so it’s rare for you to come home. You should go home and have dinner with your family,” Abigail politely declined.

Eric became annoyed at the mention of this. “I get pressured to get married whenever I go home. It’s really irritating, so I try my best to avoid going home. I had no choice this time, or I would still be out of town.”
