The Marriage She Turned into War novel Chapter 181

I smiled and asked rhetorically, "A proper conversation? When have I ever not spoken properly to you, Abigail?"

It was probably due to the days of pent-up frustration and doubt that left my mood on edge.

I looked at her faintly and added coldly, "Isn't that right? Or did you come here just to mock me?"

Although my words were harsh, Abigail merely let out a faint smile and spoke calmly. "I know you're still angry with me."

I didn't know how to respond to that. Instead, I asked rhetorically, "Did you skip work just to come here and lecture me?"

Abigail placed a package of food in front of me. Her eyes brimmed with gentleness as she said to me softly, "Aren't shrimp tacos your favorite? I bought this especially for you. Try them and tell me how they taste."

The mention of shrimp tacos immediately triggered a wave of nausea. Seafood was something I detested the most. I was even allergic to mangoes, and I hated the taste of cilantro.

She could never remember any of these!

She was still pretending to care about me now, claiming these tacos were specially bought for me. I couldn't help but suspect they were bought for Joshua and that she brought them here just to humiliate me.

Yet, strangely, I didn't feel angry anymore now. I understood it wouldn't matter even if I told her a thousand times. She would never remember if she didn't truly care.

She had never taken my preferences or feelings seriously. Why should I waste my breath?

I took the tacos calmly and said faintly, "Abigail, there's no need to go to such trouble next time. There are restaurants just downstairs from my company. I can grab my lunch there. You don't need to drop by purposely."

Abigail's face lit up in delight. She gently took my hand and said softly, "Let's go to that private kitchen we used to frequent after you get off work later. A few friends will be joining too."

My heart dropped a little at the mention of friends. I couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Who will be joining?"

She replied softly, "Ethan, Tobias, and Aria."

My body immediately stiffened at the mention of these three names as a wave of suffocating heaviness washed over me.

These three people had brought me immense pain in the past.
