She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin)

Chapter 70: Raise A Dog

Chapter 70: Raise a Dog

Ever since they returned from the cafe, Kelvin had been wearing a cold expression on his face.

Sitting in the car, Chris could feel the chill of winter creeping in and couldn't help but wrap his coattighter around himself.

Abbie coughed softly, trying to get Kelvin's attention beside her. But she was destined to bedisappointed; he didn't react at all.

His gaze was fixed on his phone screen, and there was no emotion visible on his handsome face.His lips were tightly pursed as if he had seen something unpleasant.

After a moment of silence, he spoke in a cold voice, "Take Abbie back to the Berry mansion first."

The beautiful woman next to him trembled slightly at his words. She didn't want to go back to theBerry mansion yet; it was still early and she wanted to spend more time with Kelvin.

Her misty eyes looked up at him pleadingly but he remained focused on his phone screen withoutany room for negotiation or discussion.

Abbie felt a wave of unfairness in her heart. It had been almost a week since she moved out of theFoley Villa and into the Berry mansion. Despite spending so many days at the Berry mansion, shefelt like an outsider who had suddenly intruded, facing awkwardness anytime.

Moreover, Kelvin was swamped with work, and each time they talked on the phone, it was only for asentence or two before he hung up.

Today's meeting was only because she had pretended to be sick and asked him to come pick herup to go to the hospital, using that as an excuse to have a cup of coffee together.

Who would have thought they would run into that woman, Cheyenne?

Although he tried his best to act indifferent, Kelvin actually cared about it.

"Kelvin, I... I don't want to go back."

"The Berry family isn't treating you well?" Kelvin didn't even lift his head as he coldly asked.

Abbie nodded with a sobbing voice, "Yeah... I feel like I've been away for too long. Like an outsider."

"They all have their own things during the day and are busy after dinner."

They don't care about her at all!

Chris, who was driving couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. He wondered what kind ofreaction Cody would have if he heard this?

Kelvin finally lifted his head with furrowed brows. "How about I ask Chris to help you find a newapartment?"

"Huh?"

Isn't he supposed to take her back to the Foley Villa?

Abbie bit her lip and looked at him tearfully as she whispered, "Kelvin, I want us to live together."

She was afraid that Kelvin wouldn't agree, so she continued, "I'm alone... don't know what else dodo. I'm very lonely and bored."

"No! My current apartment is too small for me already; I'm not used to having someone around.How about getting Chris find you a dog instead?"

Raise a dog?

Abbie held her breath, feeling so sad she wanted to cry when she realized that Kelvin would ratherlet her raise a dog than spend time with her.

But she knew that Kelvin hated women who were too clingy, like Cheyenne.

She couldn't let Kelvin become disgusted with her, so she choked back tears and forced a smile."Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Richards."

Chris suppressed his laughter and tried to keep his hands steady on the steering wheel as heanswered in an even tone. "Miss Berry, don't be polite. Do you prefer Pomeranians or Teddy Bearsor Huskies?"

Abbie gritted her teeth. She was not well and could not come into contact with these furry animals atall. Plus, she had serious OCD and couldn't stand the shedding of cat and dog hair.

"Any of them will do. Thank you for your help," Abbie said through clenched teeth.

After dropping Abbie off at the Berry mansion, Kelvin allowed Chris to continue driving back to thecompany headquarters while finding a house and choosing a dog became Chris's work tasks in thenext few days.

He quickly completed his task but intentionally rented Abbie a suburban villa far from Kelvin'slocation. It had good air quality, greenery surroundings plus sea views, all supposedly to aid in MissBerry's recovery.

The rent was quite expensive, over two million a year, but for Kelvin, it was no big deal as long asAbbie was satisfied.

As for a pet, he got her a dog. A small, skinny one, entirely black. Its eyes were so hard to spot. Ifyou didn't look carefully, you wouldn't know where they were. From a distance, it looked like asmoked sausage...

Abbie's first impression of the dog wasn't great. "Where did you get this?" she asked.

Kelvin wasn't really into pets; he thought they were a waste of time and money. But when he sawthis dog, he crouched down and petted it for the first time in his life.

"It's from my hometown," he said. "The puppy is only one month old now, so it's easy to train andget close to people."

"It looks very special!"

Abbie echoed with Kelvin, showing a gentle smile as she reached out to touch the little black pup.However, the pup shook its head and avoided her hand while licking Kelvin instead.

Abbie felt embarrassed by this rejection and said sourly, "It seems like it likes Kelvin more."

Just then, Kelvin's phone rang from his pocket.

He gently patted the puppy on its head before taking out his phone with an air of coldness. "What isit?"

His secretary sounded urgent on the other end, "Mr. Foley! There's an emergency at work! We needyou back immediately!"

"What's going on?"

"Boss, we were supposed to sign the contract with the Todd Group today for our project, but forsome reason, Master Davon's assistant called and said they wouldn't be signing."

The Foley Group had been working on projects with Davon's company for over half a year andtoday was supposed to be the day they signed.novelbin

"Did they give a reason?"

"No."

"I'll be right back!" Kelvin said expressionlessly as he stood up abruptly.

Abbie and Chris didn't know what was happening yet, but seeing their boss' actions made themboth instinctively silent.

Abbie wanted to say something, but the tall and aloof man had slowly walked towards the doorwithout leaving a word behind.

Chris quickly took out his keys from his pocket and placed them on the table. "Miss Berry, these arethe keys to the villa. Please take them."

After speaking, he turned around and followed Kelvin's figure.

The empty villa was now left with only her alone.

And that ugly sausage-like mutt stumbled over her feet while wagging its short legs frantically.

"Get lost!"

Abbie kicked the small dog fiercely, her gaze cold.
