Abigail Bernstein was a quiet and obedient girl who seldom say NO to her father’s decisions. Even when it’s about her marriage.
To save their family’s company out of bankruptcy, her father arranged her to marry Diarmuid Althoff, the grandson of a billionaire. But on their wedding day, the groom did not appear. Abigail was disappointed but could do nothing about it.
Alone and boring on wedding night, Abigail accepted to replace her colleague’s shift. At her workplace, the hospital, she saved a wounded man being hunted down by gangsters, and made out with this stranger to blow off steam.
The stranger, however, turned out to be her husband that did not show up at the altar.
That pushed Harvey over the edge. Incensed, his eyes bulged in its sockets as he growled,” Don’t push me, Diarmuid Althoff. I’m no pushover.” Diarmuid raised a brow. “So you’re saying that I am?” That immediately left Harvey speechless-he certainly knew that Diarmuid was no pushover either, after losing to him so many times without…
That would afford them ease of mind, at least. Zachary did not answer since the money did not matter to him. Instead, he cut to the chase. “Is Rainie really your biological daughter?” Barbara did a double take, but she said, “Of course.” “You’re lying.” Zachary exposed her right then! Barbara’s eyes widened. “Why would…
Her lips curled into a smile. “Yeah? What is it?” “We have both our children back with us now, and I was thinking that we never had a wedding ceremony. Don’t you think it would only be fulfilling to make up for it with one?” Abigail actually frowned. “I’m too tired.” She had not properly…
“Then I’ll be leaving now. You guys do what you have to,” Abigail said, bidding her leave tacffully. “I’ll take her to you at the right time,” Zachary said. “Sure,” Abigail said, and left. Returning to the car, she told the chauffeur, “Let’s go home.” However, just as the car stopped at a junction with…
After tucking in her second son, Abigail scooped up Tommy. The thought that she never breastfed both sons left her guilty. Sne owed them so much! “Mama,” Tommy asked her just then, “is brother your baby too?” “Yes,” Abigail replied, perplexed by the question. “What’s wrong?” Tommy blinked his spirited eyes just then. “Grandma told…
Diarmuid left early the next day without breakfast. Abigail understood that he must be furious after lan was rescued, and that he would be busy for the day. As for her, she woke at a regular hour and decided not to leave the mansion for the day-she wanted to dote on her children while she…
“Yeah, but he’s just so busy,” Erin said, resting her chin on her hand.” Sometimes it’s two days before I get to see him once, and he’s never at home at night.” “He’s busy with work, I guess,” Abigail said. “Oh!” Erin seemed to have more to say, but Abigail had stood up since her…
Diarmuid regarded her in silence for heartbeats and nodded. “Go.” Abigail hence followed Moneypenny into Henry’s ward, where the old man was leaning against the headboard, looking withered and weary. His eyes were lifeless and yellow, and undoubtedly sickly. ‘You’re here. It’s been a while. How have you been?” he asked amicably. “Good.” Abigail replied…
They had already returned to the hilltop mansion, so Abigail nodded. “Fine.” With that, James was sent to get Abigail’s old belongings, while they returned to the mansion. However, someone bumped into Diarmuid the instant he set foot inside, and he glowered when he saw the unexpected visitor! Erin was playing hide-and-seek with Tommy, and…
When she found him still laying there in the morning, she thought that he must be tired since he always woke earlier than she did. She gingerly got out of bed to not wake him, scrunching up her hair nonchalantly and went to brush her teeth. Suddenly, she noticed Diarmuid standing by the door, staring…
