Chapter 297
Blake's POV
In the living room, Patricia snorted when she saw Abigail. However, she did not hate Abigail as much as before.
I was also sitting on the sofa. When I saw Abigail, I was a little stiff.
"Patricia, I am sorry that we came so abruptly. Halsey and I were so worried when we heard Cathy had been in a car accident. We are glad that she's OK," Abigail said, ignoring Patricia's cold expression.
"I will take good care of her. There's nothing to worry about," I said with a cold face.
Abigail smiled and said nothing more. Then she opened her handbag and took something out.
"Halsey and I are no longer together. Blake, I hope you and Cathy will be together," said Abigail with concern.
Her words stunned Patricia and me. Patricia pushed up her glasses and saw the divorce paper in Abigail's hand.
Patricia's expression softened. She had been trying to get Abigail to divorce Halsey.
I turned to the door. I tried to suppress my emotions but I couldn't. I said, "I didn't ask for it. Why did you do that? I don't want to owe you anything."
Patricia stood up, walked directly to Abigail, and said in a much calmer tone, "Abigail, you and I didn't get along in the past, yet I have to say that today, you impressed me."
Abigail chuckled. "Halsey and I have been married for years. We are getting old now, and we don't have any regrets. On the contrary, Blake and Cathy are still young, and they have two lovely kids. They should be a happy family. Their kids deserve love from both of their parents."
Patricia nodded. Obviously, she agreed with Abigail. Then Patricia quickly walked over to me and patted me on the shoulder. "Blake, you should thank Abigail."
I looked at Patricia with surprise. What was wrong with Patricia today? NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
She didn't allow Abigail to step into this home before. Yet today, she didn't show any resentment toward Abigail at all. She even asked me to thank Abigail.
Patricia sighed, "I am getting old, and I have come around. Abigail made a mistake when she was young, but she is your mother after all."
I was surprised. I did not expect that Patricia would come around all of a sudden.
However, that didn't mean I could get over the fact that Abigail abandoned me and Leo back then.
I still looked cold. Abigail then said to Patricia, "Fine, there's no need. All I am expecting now is Blake and Cathy getting married under the Moon Goddess' blessing."
Patricia nodded. "I hope so, too. Abigail, come with me. There are some things I want to talk to you about in private."
I was curious. When did Patricia and Abigail get along well enough to talk alone?
I couldn't hear what Patricia said to her and only saw Abigail nod. She looked a bit sad. I hoped their conversation went well.
Their conversation soon ended, and they came over.
"Come upstairs with me. Noah and Hedwig are watching a movie," Patricia said to Abigail.
Abigail looked overjoyed.
I looked at Patricia in surprise. She took Abigail upstairs without looking at me, and I followed them up.
"You and Halsey are no longer together now. What are your plans for the future?" Patricia asked while going upstairs.
"I don't know. I have moved back to my place." Abigail shook her head.
"Do you want to move here? You can help take care of Noah and Hedwig. I am getting old, and Leo will have kids in the future. It concerns me that we don't have a female elder at home," Patricia spoke softly. Maybe Abigail and Halsey's separation made her change.
Abigail asked excitedly, "Really? Can I take care of the kids?"
I frowned and did not speak. I did not know why Patricia suddenly changed her attitude.
"I'm OK with it, but..." Patricia looked at me and sighed.
Abigail looked a little disappointed.
"Don't worry. Everything will be fine. Come and see the kids with me," Patricia comforted Abigail.
Noah and Hedwig were watching cartoons on the third floor.
Patricia gently pushed the door. We saw Noah and Hedwig leaning back in their chairs, their eyes glued to the screen.
Abigail was so excited to see the kids that her eyes turned red. She covered her mouth, trying not to cry.
My hands were clenched into fists. Over the years, I had resented Abigail for abandoning me and Leo, but there was no denying how much I longed for her love.
"Patricia?" Hedwig glanced at the door.
Hedwig immediately walked over. "Patricia, who is this lady?"
Hedwig had never met Abigail, and I had never shown her Abigail's photos.
Patricia stroked Hedwig's head and explained gently, "She is your daddy's mother, Abigail."
Noah also came over and looked at Abigail curiously.
"That's right. This is Abigail," Patricia emphasized again.
Noah and Hedwig turned to look at me. I nodded and said nothing.
Abigail turned around. She crouched and held Noah and Hedwig tightly in her arms. I could see her tears.
"Noah, Hedwig, I often watch you from outside your school. It's a shame that I never get a chance to meet you. I miss you very much."
I didn't expect that Abigail would visit Noah and Hedwig. Wasn't she the one who abandoned Leo and me back then?
"Abigail, don't cry. Are you unhappy seeing us?" Hedwig was confused and didn't know what to do.
Noah gently leaned his head against Abigail's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Abigail, why are you only coming to us now? Were you somewhere far away?"
Abigail wiped her tears and said, "Yes. I've been far away, and I just got back. Now, I can spend a lot of time with you."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at me as if seeking my approval.
I turned around. I didn't dare to look into her eyes. I couldn't just forgive her like this. However, the thought of how sad she would be if I refused her made me feel miserable.
Moon Goddess, if you could hear my prayers, please tell me what I should do.
