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.
Tommy blinked his large eyes hopefully at Diarmuid, hoping for Diarmuid’s acknowledgment. Diarmuid bit off a chunk, chewed, and seriously commented,” It’s alright.” Tommy blinked, but it was a praise, was it not? He giggled before running off, skipping. Abigail smiled as she watched Tommy being so happy. Bzzt… Her phone started to ring in…
Zachary sighed emotionally. “People do change.” Diarmuid did not answer, having turned toward Abigail in the distance. She seemed to be plucking something, but she was too far for him to see. When he got to his feet, however, Zachary promptly stopped him, “Where are you going? Can’t you let her leave for a moment?…
“The more the merrier,” Erin replied, picking up Tommy and squeezing her way to the grill. ‘TH do it myself.” It was more fun that way. Abigail’s gaze was tender as she watched Erin being lively again. Erin had become quiet and withdrawn after what happened, and she was more or less comforted to see…
Diarmuid’s gaze was as fiery as it was direct, and it felt like his eyes would bore a hole through her. She quickly wrapped her hands around his neck in turn, saying shyly, “Don’t look.” Diarmuid simply arched his back and picked her up, kissing her and walking to the bed. As he put her…
Did he say something wrong? Why did he feel like he was being mocked and why? Blinking his round, large eyes, he asked, “Why is everyone laughing?” Abigail simply picked him up to her seat. “You just stick with me, okay?” “Why?” Tommy asked. Abigail had no idea how to explain, when Zachary butted in.…
Abigail cut him short before he could finish. “How could you agree to it?! If Martin’s dead, shouldn’t you be protecting his family?!” Her voice choked with tears-a good man like Martin was lost, just like that. And now, this happened to Lulu? How could anyone not feel pain and heartbreak?! “We didn’t agree to…
She also called Diarmuid, who understood her and assured her that he would take care of the family, and she did not have to worry. Without any concerns over there, Abigail would be at ease staying here. Eagle lowered his eyes nonetheless. “You have dark circles under your eyes, ma’am.” Abigail did not seem to…
“You’ll definitely get better,” Abigail assured her. “And don’t worry-no one will find out.” Lulu nodded as the plane began in descent. Medical staff from the hospital were on hand to receive them, with Abigail making the arrangements. Although her social circle was not exactly huge, most of her acquaintances were involved in the medical…
Abigail stayed by Lulu’s bed while the latter was still asleep with sedatives. “You can rest now that the surgery is over, ma’am,” Eagle told Abigail. “I’ll keep an eye on her.” After all, Abigail had been standing outside ever since Lulu was wheeled into the operating room, never stepping away once. And now that…
“Yeah,” he replied, before being silent for a while. “I’d miss you aside from while I’m working.” “I doubt it.” Abigail smiled, leaning against the window. “You can’t miss me while you’re asleep.” She meant a person could not think while they were asleep, so how could he miss her? “You’re being unreasonable now.’ Diarmuid…
