Chapter 8
After driving Abigail home, Terence planned to leave. But he didn’t expect Abigail to suddenly hug his waist. Her voice sounded upset.
“Can’t you stay a little longer?”
Terence looked at her pale face with affection, gently kissing her forehead. His eyes were filled with apology.
“I promised to take wedding photos with Amanda today. I’ll come over tonight.”
Abigail didn’t care about Terence’s words and kissed him. “Don’t leave.”
Terence’s eyes darkened, and his throat tightened. He lifted Abigail’s chin again. “OK, I won’t leave.”
They both lay on the bed. Abigail raised her head with desire. Her tone. was full of jealousy.
“It’s said that a woman looks most beautiful when she wears a wedding dress. When will you take photos with me?”
She blew on Terence’s ear and whispered, “I’ll wear the wedding dress for you, OK?”
Terence got harder.
“You naughty girl, let’s go tomorrow.”
The next morning, Terence was awakened by a phone call.
Chapter 8
“Mr. Keller, you have a package. Can you come out and sign for it?”
Terence frowned. “What package?”
“It’s about property…”
A woman’s arm fell on Terence’s abdomen, and she grumbled unhappily, interrupting the conversation.
“I was exhausted last night, and now you’re disturbing my sleep.”
Terence took out his phone and kissed her gently.
“It’s OK. Just continue sleeping.”
Then he casually said to the phone, “Put it in the security room.”
Without waiting for a response, Terence breathed heavily. He couldn’t wait to hang up, holding Abigail’s restless hand.
“It seems you don’t need to rest.”
“Ah…”
In just a moment, the man’s heavy breathing and the woman’s moans started again.
On the other side, the plane finally landed in Paris. When Amanda. stepped out, she immediately saw her parents waiting outside the airport.
She used to think she was numb and wouldn’t have any emotions again.
But at this moment, she burst into tears, and all her grievances exploded.
“Dad, Mom…”
They all saw the news in America. Even if the family was abroad, they

could see what happened from the news.
Seeing their daughter like this, Anne and Brynn almost cried. They were heartbroken.
“It’s great to see you come back. We won’t let you suffer that pain.
anymore.
“We can’t support you for the rest of our life.”
Amanda cried, nodding. “Dad, Mom, I’m sorry.”
She insisted on staying in America to support Terence in his business and didn’t visit her parents for several years.
Now thinking about it, Amanda felt really guilty as a daughter.
Anne comforted Amanda all the way home. When they arrived home, Anne suddenly changed the topic.
“Baby girl, the marriage you promised before…”
Amanda hesitated for a moment and pressed her lips.
She no longer believed in love, so she naturally didn’t care about marrying anyone, and this marriage was still beneficial to the family.
But she was heartbroken now. She was afraid she couldn’t treat that fiance very well.
Seeing her troubled expression, Anne realized what Amanda was thinking and quickly said, “I mean, that person is now at our home.”
Amanda raised her head, and she just saw a figure coming out of the living room. She was slightly stunned.
Chapter B
The man was not yet thirty, wearing a custom–made black suit. He had very good shape, with a good–looking face, exuding a unique maturity and composure.
Seeing Amanda, the man’s eyes instantly filled with joy.
“Amanda.”
Tears came to Amanda’s eyes. She showed her first smile in recent times.
“Calvin.”
Amanda didn’t expect her parents‘ arranged marriage partner for her to be Calvin.
