Chapter 60
Before Adelaide could say anything, Abigail suddenly grabbed
her hands and her round eyes were full of urgency, saying “You have to help me.”
Nathan and Reginald saw this scene.
They both stood there in shock.
Nathan cleared his throat, trying to break the awkward silence, “I guess…”
He seemed stuck, couldn’t find a good reason.
Reginald just chuckled and said, “She sure knows how to please both men and women.”
After listening, Adelaide looked puzzled and asked, “Why do
you trust me so much? Shouldn’t you ask your best friend for
help?”
“I don’t know, but I just wanted to find you. My intuition told
me that finding you was definitely right.” Abigail didn’t lie, she
always followed her intuition.
Adelaide was frustrated by her hasty intuition, but since she had already spoken, she could only offer some self–perceived
definitely wouldn’t actually marry you off”
“Why?”
“Because Mr. Murray loved you very much.”
“What’s wrong with loving me? He still gets angry easily!”
“It’s one thing to threaten you and deprive you of lifelong happiness,” Adelaide told her seriously, “If you don’t believe me, go back and try it, pretend to agree to the marriage, Mr. Murray will definitely change the subject and stop talking about it.”
Abigail nodded without hesitation, “Okay, I believe you.”
That being said, Adelaide still gave her some advice: “Mr.
Murray cares about you, but don’t act recklessly and make him
worry.“”
Abigail’s eyes widened as she listened quietly to her speaking.
Adelaide felt a bit uncomfortable under the gaze, then Abigail
said after two seconds of silence, …
“No one has ever told me these things. They all told me that my
parents love me so much, so no matter what I do, my parents
will always have my back and won’t bear to scold me. They said I should do more reckless things while I’m young, because once I
get old, I won’t be able to do them anymore.”
Adelaide frowned, “Is he your friend?”
“Um.”
“Then you should stay away from those friends, they’re not
really looking out for you,” Adelaide said bluntly.
How could a real friend say something like that?
“Okay” Abigail nodded without hesitation and said, “Actually, the way I pursued Reginald was taught by them, and they even gave me a potion, saying that I could use it on Reginald when necessary. As long as the rice is cooked, then Reginald will be in a relationship with me.”
After hearing that, Adelaide was completely devastated.
“Did you hear?”
Abigail shook her head, “I wanted to pursue Reginald, but I definitely wouldn’t stoop to that level. Besides, someone who drugs him won’t really make him like me. It’s not like ancient times, where sleeping together meant getting married.”
She breathed a sigh of relief, Abigail is just simple–minded, but still clever.
“You’re lucky you didn’t do that, because Reginald wouldn’t let
you off just because you’re a girl and crossed his line.” Adelaide
wasn’t lying when she said this, she had heard a lot about
Reginald’s methods at Evercrest.
Just that she hadn’t really gotten to know Reginald during that time.
But those things definitely didn’t come out of nowhere.
“And you’re right, it’s not like you can win someone’s heart just by using extreme means to get their body. Physical touch and emotional connection are two different things.”
After saying that, Adelaide felt a pang in her heart.
When thoughts of Amanda and Garrett flooded her mind, Adelaide suddenly felt nauseous.
“Sorry, I need to use the restroom.””
