“No, I’m leaving him with Mrs. Watson,” he insisted with a serious look. “We need to talk.”
Abigail released Tommy, quietly approving Diarmuid’s gesture.
She stood by the door as Diarmuid left Tommy to Mrs. Watson’s care. Diarmuid soon returned to Abigail.
“What are we going to talk about?” she asked.
Diarmuid did not answer, however, and instead grabbed her slender form, pulled her back into their room, and shut the door with a bang.
Abigail shoved at him. “What are you doing?!”
Once more, Diarmuid didn’t answer, and simply belted her with kisses.
However, Abigail was feeling too uncomfortable to get intimate with him.
Abigail struggled, not eager to go with it ‘Mmph, Stop it. Diarmuid
Diarmuid didn’t let her go, however, and instead kissed her even more fiercely
Unable to resist, Abigail tumed into jelly in his artis
After a long while, she finally gave up on reisting, he let go
Abigail slowly looked up, crystalline tears lingering on her thick, curled eyelashes. “Why are you doing this?*
Her voice was hoarse and tearful
Even though she didn’t like to cry, she felt utterly miserable at the morment.
Diarmuid held her gaze. “Does it hurt? Your heart, I mean.
“What?”
*Couldn’t you ask me if you have a question? Did you think I was cheating on you?”
Abigail was stunned, her gaze watery just then. “H-How’d you know?”
Diarmuid did not answer, and instead asked, “Did you talk to Kathy?”
Abigail shook her head. “No.”
“Really? Diarmuid was doubtful.
“You know I’m a doctor, and I have doctor friends,” she explained. “I’ve only checked her medical records.”
“And you thought it was me?”
Abigail simply slipped out of his arms, picked up her phone from her table and showed him the photo. “See? I went there because of that. I had no trouble finding her, but I never spoke to her.”
Diarmuid did not take her phone, but a glance was enough.
“Is this why you suspected me?” he asked, despite knowing the answer.
Abigail sat on the bed. “Wouldn’t you, if you were in my place?*
“Get dressed,” he growled.
Abigail did not move. “Why? You didn’t explain anything.”
“Easier to show you,” he replied, and when she did not move, he added sternly, “Now.”
Abigail did as she was told, after which Diarmuid took her to his office at Sky Group. headquarters.
Stan was already waiting, and appeared stunned to see Diarmuid arrive with Abigail.
“Just tell us what happened,” Diarmuid said, putting a hand over Abigail’s shoulder as they settled on the couch.
Stan glanced at Abigail, and soon realized why Diarmuid brought her. Hence, he said carefully,” Kathy was meeting with Quincy Moore. We don’t know what they talked about, but I visited Kathy and managed to get everything out of her. She’s not siding with Quincy, and I don’t think she’s lying.”
With that, he took out his phone and played the recording of their conversation.
Stan was feigning concern as he visited Kathy, saying, “Hey, just checking in on you. I can. help you get discharged if you feel better. Mr. Althoff also arranged a better position for you.”
Kathy appeared emotional and grateful, so Stan pressed his advantage, “Oh, right. The nurse told me that you left?”
“Yeah,” Kathy replied. “Quincy asked to meet me.”
“What did she tell you?” Stan asked with a smile.
“The first thing she asked was whether Diarmuid knew we’re meeting, and she became much. relaxed. She then told me that she took a photo of me and Diarmuid and sent it to Abigail to drive them apart, and that she’d help me win over Diarmuid if I obeyed her. But, y’know, I’m not stupid-she took away my chastity. I’m not going to believe her ever again!”
Stan chimed in, “Of course. All men care about their ladies’ modesty.”
He deliberately twisted the dagger so that Kathy was reminded that Diarmuid would never fall for her, especially now that she was impure.
Naturally, whatever he said would make Kathy hate Quincy all the more.
Stan saw the fury and hate towards Quincy in Kathy’s eyes.
Back at the present, Abigail came to a stunning realization.
Quincy had sent her that photo exactly to drive a wedge between her and Diarmuid.
Still, Abigail had no idea how Kathy became involved with Quincy, so she asked, “What’s the story here?”
Diarmuid gave her hand a light squeeze. “Keep listening.”
As such, Abigail had to stay patient and listened as Kathy spoke once more in the recording.
Kathy asked, “Is Diarmuid not going to fall for me now?”
‘He wouldn’t even if you weren’t defiled,’ Stan thought to himself. ‘Why are you still not giving up?”
He couldn’t say it, however, and instead said, “Yeah. You have no chance now after what Quincy did to you.”
Even if Stan didn’t continue directing Kathy’s spite to Quincy Moore, Kathy absolutely loathed the woman now.
“I hate her.”
With that, Stan stopped playing the recording. “My observation is that she really hates. Quincy now. That spite can’t be feigned.”
Abigail promptly asked them, “So? Can you now tell me what happened?”
Stan glanced at Diarmuid Althoff then, and seeing his approval, began, “Well, it started with…
When he was finished, Stan summed up, “And Kathy’s now still at the hospital.”
Abigail patted her chest as he finished.
Thank goodness Diarmuid wasn’t involved!
So Kathy believed in Quincy and was exploited. The thought that Quincy was willing to ruin. her chastity on a whim left Abigail wary.
She must be cautious towards that woman!
Since there was no way Quincy would make peace with Diarmuid, now that Abigail is Diarmuid’s lover, Abigail knew she would be dragged into it as well!
On the other hand, Stan saw that she was relieved, which confirmed his hunch.
“Did you think that Mr. Althoff did that to Kathy?” he asked jokingly.
Abigail was quiet, but she certainly did think so.
Her silence was nothing less than a quiet admission, and Stan suddenly appeared to be an eager bystander.
