Chapter 94
Abigail was a little different from the women he had met. She was not spoiled although she was arrogant.
She was aloof, elegant, beautiful, and decent. Most importantly, she was charming and had succeeded to capture his attention.
It was a pity that she had a boyfriend.
Anson lowered his head slightly, his eyes filled with disappointment.
Alas!!
He was heart-broken when he knew that she had a boyfriend.
Anson did not want to give up, but he could do nothing when he knew that she had a boyfriend.
When Lucian saw that the soup was boiling, he put the ingredients that were more difficult to cook into the double-flavor hot pot.
He distributed the ingredients evenly into each side compartment of the pot.
Ricky drank his tea from time to time while he listened to the conversation between his two mothers attentively. He was very calm at such a
young age.
Henrick's phone that was in Abigail's bag rang suddenly.
Abigail took out the phone and glanced at it before she said happily, "Oh! It's a call from Kenny."
Ricky greeted Anson and Lucian politely before went out of the private room and answered the call.
"Brother! I will go back to Gate City with mommy Abigail later."
Victor could hear Henrick's happy voice when he reached the corner of the corridor.
"Have you signed the contract today?" Kenneth's lukewarm tone came on the other side of the phone.
"Yes! I have signed the contract. I will complete the project before school starts. Since I will be studying at River City, I can take on projects that are available there during the weekends or even after school. It's not easy for mother to raise our family alone. I want to help her reduce part of her burden."
"That's great! Grandma is waiting to hear your news. Talk to you later!" Kenneth hung up the phone.
Henrick looked at the phone in confusion. Why did grandma suddenly care about his contract?
He did not dwell on the matter further and returned to the private room with his phone.
Only then did Victor come out from the corner of the corridor.
He didn't look good. "It's not easy for mom to raise our family alone. I want to help her reduce part of her burden."
Henrick's last two sentences lingered in his ears.
Victor's heart tightened suddenly. He wanted to see if he could get Ricky's hair today.
A DNA test was the fastest way.
When Victor arrived at the door, he composed himself before he pushed the door open. His tall figure was incredibly imposing.
He was elegant and calm when he walked. People would be dazzled by a simple view of his back.
Eden and Abigail also stopped talking as Victor walked in.
Abigail's smile was neither cold nor warm. She teased, "Mr. Alwynn came at the right time. The food is cooked." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Victor looked at the seats. There was another seat next to Eden, and Ricky was sitting next to Abigail.
He sat comfortably beside Eden before he said lightly, "Thank you Miss Joye and Ricky for having lunch with me!"
When he heard Victor's words, Eden suddenly remembered Ricky had mentioned that he met Victor yesterday.
She thought about it for a while but she didn't ask her anything in the end.
Abigail looked at Victor and said with a smile, "How can we not show up? We can't afford to offend our benefactor, Mr. Alwynn! Come, let's toast with tea instead of wine. Cheers, may we have a pleasant cooperation!"
Abigail's bold and forthright nature was unleashed to the fullest.
Victor raised his glass to Abigail and said with a smile, "May we have a pleasant cooperation!"
It was common not to drink at noon since everyone need to drive. It would be fine if they get a fine because of driving under the influence, but it would not be worth it if they lose a big order because of this.
No one had any objections to using tea as a substitute for wine.
