Not One, But Two!

Chapter 121

Chapter 121

Not knowing how he had offended Greg, Troy simply felt Greg was acting strange today. But, it was enough to scare people a little.

Likewise, this feeling made him rather uneasy. However, Troy did not think much since there were too many things that he needed to deal with. After taking the clothes, Greg thought of Troy's words. Nobody's at home? How's that possible?

And thus, Greg went back home. It was true that there was no one at home. Feeling a little worried, Greg gave Alissa a call.

The call quickly connected to Alissa. "Daddy, what's the matter? Could it be that you miss me?"

"Well, of course. I miss you so much. Where are you and your sister now? Why is there no one at home?"

"Oh, we suddenly wanted to come out and eat KFC, so we asked Mrs. Nova to take us out to eat. We can't help ourselves. You're too busy dating Mommy, so we can only rely on ourselves."

Despite being teased by his daughter, Greg did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Then you guys enjoy your meal, and I'll pay the bill. I'll transfer the money to you guys. Buy whatever you like. As my daughter, you have such an entitlement."

"Hey, Daddy, are you trying to shut my mouth with money?" Alissa, the little mischievous one, immediately amused Greg with her words.

"Of course. I'm still counting on you two to put in a few good words about me to your Mommy."

"Sure! It's all up to your performance."

The father-daughter duo teased each other for a while before Greg told them to go home early. After Greg had transferred 10,000 for Alissa, only then did he hang up the phone.

As he took the clothes, Greg returned to Abigail's side. Meanwhile, Abigail had already entered the room.

Shaking his head, Greg suddenly felt that he was really enjoying his simple life now. Life is good.

Later, he went into the kitchen and finished making the meal that he did not finish making last night. Then, he brought it out.

"Abbie! Come down and eat."

"Okay."

Although Abigail was a little shy, she did not hide away. Well, Greg and I are a couple. Isn't it normal for us to share some really intimate moments? We're both grown ups after all.

Even though her mind was thinking like that, Abigail's face was still looking a little flushed.

Upon seeing her like this, Greg was once again aroused. He could not wait to pick up where they left off last night. However, he also knew that it was impossible.

Love takes time. When the time is right, everything will fall into place. But if I simply want to do something, then I have to see if she gives her consent or not. Judging from the meaning behind Abigail's actions, she probably doesn't want to do anything. Besides, it's almost time to get ready, so we really don't have much time to spare.

As she looked at the dishes on the table, Abigail could not help having teary eyes.

"You should eat some too. You're probably going to discuss matters and drink when we're at the party later. Doing that on an empty stomach is bad and will cause gastric pain."

Feeling joyful at Abigail's words, Greg answered, "Sure!"

Then, the two started eating together. Although they did not say anything, there was a sense of tranquility flowing in the quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Abigail did not eat much. It was not that Greg's cooking was not delicious, but she was not feeling very hungry.

Likewise, Greg also sensibly ate a little. Seeing that Abigail had finished eating, he got up and cleaned up the table. However, he was stopped by Abigail. "Let me do it. I can't let you do all the chores by yourself."

"It's fine. You go upstairs, put on some makeup, and get dressed. Compared to women, men can get dressed really quickly. Women need more time. Besides, this isn't a lot of work. Just let me do it. Go and get ready." Greg did not give Abigail a chance to enter the kitchen.

Suddenly, Abigail recalled her days living with the Kain Family in the Kain Residence. Back then, she did all the chores regardless if they were dirty or difficult. No one ever told her things like that she was a girl and she needed time to do her makeup. On the contrary, they would keep urging her to do this and do that.

Now, this man told her that she only needed to dress herself well. Abigail did not know how to describe this feeling she was having. Anyhow, it made Abigail feel warm all over her body. In fact, she was so touched that she wanted to cry a little.

Abigail immediately turned her head and went upstairs quickly. She could still hear the sound of running tap water in the kitchen. As she listened, she felt the passion stirring up inside her heart as the

sound of water flowed into it.

I'm such a simple girl who is easily satisfied. As long as the other party treats me sincerely, I will treat him wholeheartedly. It's the same for Jonathan 5 years ago. I really loved him back then. After all, he was like the first beaming sunlight in my gloomy life. But unfortunately, this sunshine didn't belong to me in the end.

At the thought of that, Abigail sighed a little. Then, she went upstairs to get changed. After that, she simply wore light makeup, put on the pair of crystal shoes Greg bought her, and grabbed the bag Greg bought.

It was only then did Abigail realize Greg had good taste. That was because she really looked like a princess coming out from a fairytale after dressing up.

Abigail's lips curled into a happy smile. This is my first time to be dressed up by a man.

Abigail was unable to describe the feeling that she had in her heart, but there was definitely sweetness in that feeling. Then, she went downstairs while stepping on the high heels.

Upon hearing the sound coming from the heels, Greg raised his head. At once, he was astonished by the sight in front of him.

At first, Greg simply thought that a white and somewhat vintage-looking puff sleeve dress should suit Abigail. However, it never crossed his mind that it actually turned out to be so flattering. Abigail was like a beauty in a painting, and her beauty made him feel a little surreal.

Since it was also the first time for Abigail to dress up like this, she felt a little uneasy when she saw the astonished look on Greg's face. "What's wrong? Do I not look good?"

"Who says you don't? My woman's beauty is unparalleled in the world!" Greg walked over and held Abigail's hand.

All of a sudden, Greg blurted, "Suddenly, I don't feel like going. You're so beautiful; what if the other men take a fancy at you and snatch you away from me?" He frowned slightly, and he looked as if he was really thinking about this matter.

In an instant, Abigail laughed. "I used to think you were a thug. But now I feel like you're a jokester. Do you think everyone knows how to spot a divine beauty like you?"

Not only did Abigail's words praise Greg, but they were also a compliment to herself.

This! This is the absolute art of speaking! She's my woman indeed! Greg thought to himself happily. Then, he took Abigail's hand and headed out.

The car that he was going to drive today was a Lincoln. Abigail got into the car. She thought that there would be a driver, so she did not expect Greg was going to drive the car by himself.

"Troy isn't joining?"

"You miss Troy?" Greg's eyes darkened abruptly.

Abigail nearly died of laughter. "Can you stop getting jealous for no reason? You don't think it's tiring, but I do."

"Abbie, are you despising me now?" Greg looked at Abigail, feeling wronged. This no doubt made Abigail feel very good.

"No, I don't miss him. I just assumed you would have him as your driver every time you go out. We're going to a cocktail party, so you'll surely be drinking. How can you drive by then?"

Upon hearing Abigail's words, Greg smiled and said, "I'll let him drive us back after we go to the party. Abbie, you're mine!" As he said that, he was going to hug Abigail.

"Okay, okay. It's almost time. Drive properly." Abigail quickly pushed Greg away.

This man is buoyant and impetuous. If he really gets a little too excited, I'm sure we really won't make it to the party. I have no interest in having s*x in the car.

Seeing that he was pushed away by Abigail, Greg felt a little dissatisfied. However, he still quickly kissed her cheeks before starting the car. Abigail turned her head slightly, but the corners of her lips curled upward.

The car then drove all the way to the entrance of the banquet hall.

The other party recognized Greg's car, and a parking attendant came up quickly. "Good evening, Mr. Buckley."

"Park the car for me."

Getting out of the car, Greg then walked to the other side and opened the car door for Abigail. After helping her out of the car, he threw the car keys in his hand to the parking attendant.

At that moment, Abigail had a feeling of being cared for. "I can walk by myself," she whispered.

Upon hearing that, Greg smiled and said, "It's okay. I like you entering while holding my arm."

"Okay." Abigail shook her head slightly and walked in while holding Greg's arm. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

As soon as Greg and Abigail entered, they became the focus of the party. Everyone turned their attention to them.

Everyone present recognized Greg, so they naturally did not dare to offend him. However, they were clueless about the woman beside him. Many women who had dreamed of becoming Mrs. Buckley could not wait to kill Abigail with their murderous gazes as they looked at her at this moment.

Sensing the unfriendly stares from all directions, Abigail could not help but whisper, "It seems like you have a lot of admirers."

"Well, of course. I'm a casual and elegant handsome man—"

Before Greg could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp gaze from Abigail. Thus, he immediately changed his mind and said, "But I only love you."

These words successfully calmed the unknowing anger within Abigail's heart.

"Mr. Buckley, you're here. And this is?"

The host of the party hurriedly stepped forward and greeted the couple.

Many people around them were also listening with their ears pricked. They wanted to know Abigail's identity. After all, Greg used to attend banquents alone, and he did not care about all women. That was why the young unmarried ladies in Harrion had a glimmer of hope, thinking they might have a chance.

However, Greg came with a woman today. Not only did the woman look stunning, but Greg seemed to care a lot about her. Upon seeing Greg's attitude, everyone panicked.

Greg smiled and said proudly, "This is my girlfriend, Abigail Kain. President Zeller, thanks for having us today."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar. Greg Buckley already has a girlfriend? This just breaks all women's hearts.

Once again, Abigail felt the unfriendly gazes shooting at her again.

Feeling speechless, Abigail tugged at Greg's cuff and asked in a low voice, "You never brought that woman to a party before?"

Greg naturally knew who the woman Abigail was referring to, and he quickly explained by saying, "She never agreed to reveal our relationship, so do you think she'd accompany me to such an occasion?"

There was a hint of self-depreciation in Greg's tone, and this made Abigail feel a little distressed.

"It's alright. I'll accompany you in the future."

"Alright." Greg's mood instantly improved.

Then, he looked at Abigail affectionately, and this immediately shocked the people around him. It seems like Greg really pampers and loves this woman named Abigail.

The people here were basically people from the business world and upper class. Seeing that Greg's attitude toward Abigail was different, everyone began to adjust their state of mind and prepared to fawn on Abigail.

However, at this moment, a hateful figure came into Abigail's sight once again.
