Chapter 820 Follow Me
Josh noticed Abigail's arrival and remarked, "I had planned to leave when it got dark, but Old Mr.Graham insisted I stay overnight, so I'll be here for a few days."
The elderly couple reminded him of Analise, whom he used to visit when Abigail was not at home.He recalled how strong Analise always appeared and realized now that she must have missedAbigail during those six months.
"Whatever the case, Larry is entirely in your care now." Abigail expressed her comfort in not havingto look after the child.
However, Larry seemed a bit restless.
He now had to stay with Colby and Lina, then return home to visit Cameron and spend time with hisyounger brother.
After a moment of hesitation, Josh suggested, "Let's meet up with friends when the time comes."
Perhaps... after going to New Yoke, there may not be another opportunity to gather together.novelbin
Abigail agreed, acknowledging that it was indeed time to reunite.
"Did you guys eat anything?" Lina, feeling content with the fun they had, stood up and asked Seanand Abigail.
"If you didn't prepare any food for us, we can order takeout. You stay and play with the kids," Abigailinsisted, not wanting Lina to overexert herself.
"Why order takeout when you're at home?" Lina said as she made her way to the kitchen.
While Colby entertained Larry, Josh conversed with Sean about Eric, noting, "He hasn't respondedto me yet, so there may be an issue."
Abigail's expression became grave at this news.
Sean, appearing composed, leaned back on the couch. "Release Eric's information first, and I'llhandle it. It will be trending by tomorrow morning."
Having planned this in advance, Sean was simply waiting for a response from Eric. Since there wasno reply forthcoming, he decided to proceed.
Josh nodded, and Sean promptly messaged Xavien on his phone.
"Once you return, take Larry to Cameron's house to hang out. Also, discuss with Cameron how tocare for a woman who has recently given birth." Abigail expressed her concern, particularly forLuna's well-being.
She was unsure of Luna's current situation.
Josh nodded blankly in response.
…
The next evening, Josh's plan was set, and he made calls to all his acquaintances.
But there was a sudden problem with Irene.
"Her phone is unreachable, and I have no idea what's going on." Kevin stood at the doorway of theprivate room, visibly irritated as he fidgeted with his phone.
Abigail also sent Irene a WhatsApp message, but she didn't reply.
"Could something have happened? Take me to her house," she said.
Kevin glanced at Sean beside him. "Should we go?"
"Everyone's not all here yet, but let's go check it out first," Sean replied. He was aware that Irenehad more free time due to her past relationship with him and Kevin.
Upon reaching Pendorf, Abigail discovered that Irene was missing when she visited his company.
It seemed to be the work of the Walkers.
Upon arriving at the Walkers' residence, Kevin went in first.
The living room of the Walkers was quiet and peaceful, but in the dining room, harsh voices couldbe heard. "You can't even compare to Sean's ex-girlfriend for a single bit! I don't know what use youare to us!"
"If you can't repay the student loan, then you'll just have to work as a maid in the Walkers to pay offyour debt."
They're two women's voices. One of them was probably an old lady, and the other one wasyounger.
Kevin walked in with his hands in his pockets and saw Irene standing with her head bowed besidethe dining table.
"Come here!" Kevin ordered with a dark face.
The people in the dining room were startled by his sudden appearance.
When Mrs. Walker saw Kevin, she smiled and stood up. "Mr. Kevin, are you here to see Irene?"
The young girl sitting at the table scrutinized Kevin. "I remember her boyfriend was called Sean, sowhy are you here to see her?"
"Is that so?" Sean walked in, his expression icy.
Abigail followed suit and noticed Irene, who appeared bewildered. She whispered, "Kevin told youto come to us. Why are you still here?"
Irene hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly approached Abigail and explained softly, "They tookaway my phone, and when they knew you had returned, they demanded that I repay the studentloan."
She did have some money, but she was reluctant to repay the student loan.
Sean insisted that the student loan should be repaid by their parents.
Abigail shielded Irene behind her, her face icy as she looked at Catherine. "Is the Walkers really insuch dire need of that money? So, you're willing to push your youngest daughter onto a man whohas feelings for another woman?"
"Ms. Quinn, it was the Grahams who expressed interest in finding a few young girls. No onecoerced Sean into going on a blind date." Catherine sneered. "The moment you returned, he lostinterest in Irene. What about her reputation?"
Kevin approached with a stern expression, grabbed a bowl of soup from the table, and poured itover Catherine's head. "You mistreated your daughter. When you heard that the Grahams werelooking for a match for Sean, you immediately called her back, treating her like a commodity to betraded. Seems like you care about her reputation, huh?"
Catherine began screaming.
Irene's sister, Slyvie, stood up and exclaimed, "What are you doing?!"
"What am I doing? I am going to bankrupt the Walkers immediately!" Kevin's expression wasextremely grim.
Catherine suddenly panicked. She took a napkin offered by a servant and apologized while wipingher face. "Mr. Stewart, she doesn't know any better. Please forgive her."
"Do you not care for your own daughter?" Abigail questioned Catherine.
Catherine hesitated for a moment. Irene was an unexpected child, and at the time, she had alreadydecided not to have any more children. So, she sent her away, intending to let her parents raise thegirl and allow her to do as she pleased when she came of age.
