Chapter 391 Abby’s Fault
“Forget it again and I’ll show you how domineering I can be.” There was a veiled threat in that reply. Veronica relented. “Yeah, yeah. Goodbye now.” She got out of the car and went to the trunk to take her stuff. She slammed the trunk shut and smacked it, telling Matthew that he could leave now.
Matthew did not leave. Instead, he stayed back and watched as she went into the company, and he only left when she was out of sight. Since he had a pair of sunglasses on and was driving a disguised car, nobody paid him any attention. He called Skyler on his way to work. “Where are you at?”
“Collins, duh. Caleb and I are trying to send Abby to Bloomstead, remember?” Skyler was sighing as he sounded a little dissatisfied.
“I got a job for you. You’ll love it.”
“I don’t want to get my hopes up, but what job is it?”
“Someone in the Twilight Condominium just went through a break up. You’re gonna stay with her until she gets over it. Oh, and she’s at least a nine.”
“The Twilight Condominium? Whoa, you’re cheating on Roni? That’s a bit—”
“It’s her friend,” Matthew interrupted him slowly, growling like a lion that was going to pounce on its prey.
Skyler chuckled. “Oh, sorry, sorry. I’ll get there right after I come back.”
“How’s things going on your end?” Matthew asked again. He was concerned about his best friend.
“We talked to the HOA and local cops, but Abby’s stepmom doesn’t want her to be schooled. She still wants to marry the kid off, and Abby was even beaten up over that. Caleb pulled the strings and asked the cops to warn Abby’s family. They had no choice but to let her go,” Skyler explained briefly.
“Call me if you need any help.”
“Eh, we’re fine. Caleb cares about her a lot. He even enrolled her in a school. Love changes people a lot, huh? He takes care of her like she’s his treasure.”
Skyler kept blabbering on, but Matthew hung up without even listening. Veronica, who had gone to work, went to the airport with Mia where they obtained their tickets and boarded the flight before it took off.
A few hours later, Caleb and Skyler arrived at Bloomstead with Abby in tow. Skyler tapped Caleb’s shoulder when they passed by Twilight Condominium. “This is my stop. I have something to settle.” He was not going to be a third wheel while they were dating. I’d rather see that hottie right away.
“Sure.” Caleb stopped the car.
He froze for a moment, and then he frowned and turned around. “What are you doing? Cover yourself!” He was sure she was not changing into anything and had taken her clothes off on purpose.
Abby did not move for a while, and he remembered she could not talk, so he insisted, “Cover yourself up, please.” He waited for a few minutes, but she was still not moving. He had no choice but to turn around only to see that she was standing inches away from him.
Caleb might be a gentleman, but he was still a man in the end. The first thing he noticed was her chest. Wow, she’s young, but she’s really well-developed. One look was enough to light the fire of desire within him. Goddammit. I’m not a pervert. She’s still in high school. He went around her to pick her clothes up and handed them to her. “Cover yourself up.”
She shook her head.
“Why?” he asked. He had seen a lot of… exciting scenes when he was on the job or hanging out with his friends, but still, Abby was a far more perfect lady than those women ever were. Her curves were perfect, and her body alluring. Her skin was as fair as a porcelain doll.
He felt a boner coming up, but he was a gentleman, so he turned around and refused to look at her. Still, she would not take the clothes from him no matter how long he was holding it. In the end, he looked at her.
She signed, You guys only want one thing out of your mistresses—sex. Thanks for taking me away from that horrid place. I’ll give you what you want, but um, can you not knock me up if possible?
Huh? What the hell? He wanted to curse, but he thought she had a point.
