Chapter 492
Leo was speechless.
He would never have thought that Abigail would say this.
In his opinion, Abigail had always been very calm and wise. She was smart enough to know what she wanted, what she could and couldn't, but now...
After all, Abigail believed in Liam!
That was the reason.
She believed him!
Leo suddenly felt a little ridiculous. He didn't know if it was a kind of sadness or not.
But he felt unspeakable loneliness.
He envied Liam!
He was even a little jealous of him!
He was unwilling to admit it, but it was the truth.
Leo's face was gloomy, but he tried to maintain his gentlemanly composure.
Only in this way could he continue to face Abigail.
After thinking for a while, Leo looked at her and said, "If this is your choice, I respect you!"
"Thank you!"
"But I want you to be happy!" Leo said.
Abigail was shocked and nodded. "Thank you!"
Leo smiled bitterly and then said nothing more.
The two chatted briefly again. Leo invited her to have dinner together. Abigail declined by saying that she had something to do when she went back. So Leo drove Abigail back.
Downstairs, Leo said, "Don’t worry, I'll help you find the ring as soon as possible!”
Listening to Leo, Abigail felt a little guilty about what she had just said to him. After all, he did it for her own good.
However, since she had said it, she could not take it back, and it would be a little awkward to talk about it now. Abigail looked at him and nodded. "Well, thank you, Leo!"
"I like you to call me when something happens, and I don't like you to be so distant and polite!" Abigail was shocked.
"Abigail, I hope that our relationship will not deteriorate because of Liam. This is my last request!" Leo looked at her and said with a pleading look in his deep eyes.
Abigail was a little shocked. Leo was such a proud gentleman. She found it hard to believe that he said to her with such a tone and eyes. A trace of guilt flashed through Abigail's heart.
She thought of the two years when she was abroad.
That was her most carefree time.
Leo did help her a lot. In that strange country, he was her only support and warmth.
If...
If Liam hadn't appeared, perhaps she would have acquiesced that Leo was by her side.
However, she never thought that she would meet Liam again, and that she would fall in love with him.
Looking at Leo, Abigail finally smiled and nodded. "Yes, of course, you will always be my mentor and my best friend!" Abigail said.
Friends...
He gave a bitter smile.
Leo did not want to just be a friend to her.
But now, he had to compromise.
He nodded. "OK!"
Abigail smiled. "Okay, I'll go back first. Be careful on your way!" As she spoke, Abigail got out of the car, then she saw Liam, who was behind her.
Liam couldn't find her after he came back, so he went downstairs to look for her. He didn't expect to see her get out of Leo's car.
At that moment, he was shocked.
"Liam..." Abigail looked at him and shouted. Her voice was not guilty, and she did not do anything guilty. She was just a little awkward on this occasion.
