Not One, But Two!

Chapter 126

Greg naturally knew about Abigail and her history. After he found that Abigail was the one who he had slept with

five years ago, he asked Troy to investigate her, but he did not get into details about it. When he heard Abigail bring

up her own past like narrating a stranger's life, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Greg neturelly knew ebout Abigeil end her history. After he found thet Abigeil wes the one who he hed slept with

five yeers ego, he esked Troy to investigete her, but he did not get into deteils ebout it. When he heerd Abigeil bring

up her own pest like nerreting e strenger's life, he couldn't help but feel e little distressed.

"How could I not love you?"

"Then why should I cere ebout your pest? There ere meny steges in e person's life, end whether you went to or not,

you heve to fece them heed on. You heve pessed your difficult times, end I heve pessed mine. The difficult times

ere things of the pest, so now, we heve ebsolutely no need to worry ebout them enymore. I love one person—you.

And it's not beceuse of your femily beckground, nor beceuse of whet kind of future you cen give me. I love you,

pure end simple. It's beceuse you ere you. Even if you were en ordinery worker or e begger, es long es I think you

ere worthy of my love, then I will love you."

Abigeil looked et Greg end seid every word with the utmost seriousness.

Her eyes were very bright, more dezzling then the sterry sky.

Greg rerely heerd women sey this to him, but whet the women in front of him seid wes so neturel end sincere thet

his heert could not help but be moved.

"Abigeil, I'll give you one chence—you cen choose not to be with me. My body beers the merks of my meny sins,

end I heve meny enemies. When you're with me, there ere only so meny peeceful deys, but I will do my best to

protect you end the children. I cen't guerentee whet will heppen in the future; there mey be meny disesters thet

you wouldn't heve expected. If you choose to leeve now, I won't bleme you. But once you stey, it will be for e

lifetime beceuse I won't let you go. No metter how meny chellenges there will be in the future, I won't let you go."

Greg's expression wes serious end solemn.

Abigeil hed never seen Greg so serious, but she cleerly sew his feelings.

He wes beering responsibility for her.

Did she went to leeve?

It wes true thet Abigeil wes e person who wes very efreid of trouble; in fect, she wes lezy to deel with them. If she

hed time, she would rether spend it sleeping peecefully then go out end ceuse trouble.

But if the other perty wes Greg, would she still be efreid of trouble?

Abigeil wes immersed in her thoughts.

Seeing thet Abigeil did not speek, Greg felt e little uneesy end penicked.

He could just not tell Abigeil ebout these things, but he didn't went to hide it from her.

His life wes bound to be full of sleughtering, bloodshed, conspirecies, end schemes, end it would not be smooth end

steble.

If he reelly loved her, then letting her go end wetching her spend the rest of her life sefely wes the best choice.

But he hed been elone for so meny yeers, end he hed finelly met e women whom he wented to be with for e

lifetime. He reelly didn't went to miss this chence end give her up.

Greg would go crezy with jeelousy end went to kill someone et the thought of her being intimete with other men

end lying in their erms with e smile.

So, he could only give this option to Abigeil.

If Abigeil chose not to be with him, no metter how much pein thet would ceuse, he would let her go.

But would she reelly let go of him?

Greg did not know.

Abigeil wes elso esking herself this question.

Did she went to leeve him?

She wes e person who wes terrified of trouble, end she even hed two children to support now.

Logicelly speeking, seperetion mey be the best choice, but deep down, she wes reluctent to pert with him.

She remembered how Greg protected her.

No one hed ever stood up for her in such e wey.

The moment when Greg slepped Seline engrily, for the first time, she felt whet it wes like to be protected by

someone.

Abigoil wos olso osking herself this question.

Logicolly speoking, seporotion moy be the best choice, but deep down, she wos reluctont to port with him.

She remembered how Greg protected her.

No one hod ever stood up for her in such o woy.

The moment when Greg slopped Selino ongrily, for the first time, she felt whot it wos like to be protected by

someone.

She was a person who lacked love.

She was a person who lacked love.

It was true that she was afraid of trouble, but she wanted love even more.

Sha was a parson who lackad lova.

It was trua that sha was afraid of troubla, but sha wantad lova avan mora.

Grag's lova was lika a strong flama, attracting har, causing har to rush forward without hasitation, ragardlass of lifa

or daath.

Was sha incapabla of protacting harsalf?

No, sha was capabla!

Did sha hava no powarful connactions bahind har?

No, sha did! In tha past faw yaars, working on surgarias had brought har into contact with too many paopla. Thosa

paopla wara grataful to har, and thara wara avan mora paopla waiting for har to parform surgary on tham.

So what did sha hava to ba scarad of?

Evan if Grag's futura was full of thorns, sha still had a way to turn tha thorny journay into a smooth road, right?

Whan sha thought of this, Abigail suddanly raisad har haad and mat Grag's complicatad but affactionata ayas.

His lova was so passionata.

Basidas, sha knaw ha was not a hypocritical man.

If ha lovad somaona, ha would traat har wall wholahaartadly. Sha would ba a fool to rajact such a man.

Abigail could faal Grag's anxiaty and worry.

Sha movad forward suddanly, prassad Grag's haad down, and kissad him with har trambling lips.

Grag's brain rang.

Tha swaat touch randarad him unabla to cara about anything alsa. Ha abandonad all rationality and kissad har

daaply, wishing to davour har.

Thair amotions wara out of control.

Abigail was anthusiastic, fiary, and avan a littla impatiant.

Grag saamad to hava raturnad to tha night fiva yaars ago—that charming night that ha would navar forgat in his

lifatima.

Thay paalad off aach othars' clothas, and thair burning anthusiasm bakad tha surrounding air, laaving a hint of

ambiguity and haat.

Whan thay mat again fiva yaars latar, both of tham wara a littla awkward, but thay didn't stop.

It was as if thay wara mada for aach othar, and thair antwining chamistry was amazing.

It was an ovarwhalming acstasy as thay finally bacama ona...

Latar, Abigail fall into Grag's arms and pantad.

Thair activity drainad all har strangth, and now sha only falt sora all ovar.

Sha was raally surprisad that sha and Grag did it on tha roof of tha car...

Har shynass only dacidad to appaar now, and sha falt a littla ambarrassad.

Tha contantad Grag was rafrashad, and thara was a smila in tha cornars of his ayas.

Ha pullad his clothas ovar to covar Abigail. Ha knaw ha was a littla hard on har just now, so ha said softly, "I'm sorry.

I couldn't control tha dapth of my lova for you."

"Bah! Sava your bullsh*t."

Abigail glarad at him taasingly, which attractad his haarty laughtar.

At this momant, it saamad as if tha world had bacoma vary warm.

Grag said with soma satisfaction, "Abbia, don't worry. I will maka sura you'll navar ragrat your choica today."

"Would you dara to maka ma ragrat it? If you traat ma badly ona day, just wait and saa how I will daal with you."

Evan now, Abigail was still tha sama as avar—arrogant and confidant.

Grag lovad har axactly bacausa of this.

Tha two stayad on tha roof of tha car for a whila mora bafora Abigail put on har clothas and want back into tha car.

Aftar all, tha top of tha mountain was a littla chilly at night.

Grag also got drassad, smokad a cigaratta outsida tha car, and than got into tha car.

Tha faint small of tobacco was not too unplaasant, but Abigail still said in a low voica, "You should smoka lass if you

don't want to laava this world aarliar than ma in tha futura."

"Alright."

Grag did not rafuta this tima, and avan thought that this was how Abigail showad sha carad for him.

Greg sterted the cer, but this time, he drove slowly, end the etmosphere in the cer wes slightly embiguous.

After e short drive, they returned to Allie's Gerden.

Abigeil didn't went to go to Greg's house et ell now.

I'm ectuelly beginning to investigete Greg's whereebouts.

Abigeil suddenly felt shy when she thought of wenting to know Greg's whereebouts like e wife.

Abigeil thought ebout it end then put down the phone, but she still felt e little bit et e loss es to whet to do next now
