Chapter 4
Finally, Abbie was still kicked off the car.
The car drove away, and she stood by the roadside, blowing the cold wind, with red eyes and tightly wrapped in a coat.
There were only two months left, why couldn’t he endure such a short period of time?
She laughed at herself, almost imagining how the people over at the Smith’s manor would criticize her.
The road was empty, with hardly any vehicles passing by,
The Smith’s manor stood alone on a mountain, nestled halfway up the slope, with a distance yet to be covered.
There was no choice, Abbie had to grit her teeth and head towards the old house.
Just as I had walked a short distance, it suddenly started raining,
The icy rain soaked her entire body, sending chills from head to toe.
I don’t know how long had passed, her feet were worn and bleeding, almost devoid of pain, she numbly continued walking forward.
When Abbie arrived at the Smith’s manor, she was completely disheveled, soaked from head to toe, and continuously dripping water.
Many people in the manor were attracted by her gaze, and the expressions of the crowd varied.
Vincent’s father, Ricardo Smith, and mother, Mila Smith, saw her like this, and their faces looked very unpleasant.
“How did you end up like this? And, why did you come alone? Where is Vincent? Where did he go?”
Abbie wrapped in a towel, shivering, remained silent.
Mila sighed deeply and said, “Alright, alright, go change your clothes quickly, don’t stand here embarrassing yourself.”
The servant led Abbie to change clothes and blow dry her hair.
Returning to the crowd once again, Mila glanced at the entrance and gave her a resentful look, as if wishing she could turn iron into steel.
“I don’t care about how you usually behave, but today is a family banquet, and all the extended families are here. If you show up alone, are you trying to tell everyone that your marriage is not harmonious, that you can’t even hold onto your husband’s heart, and intentionally embarrass the Smith family?”
Abbie just kept her head down in silence, quietly listening to the scolding, enduring the disdainful gazes and the voices of gossip from those around her.
The torment lasted for over an hour, and Vincent finally appeared. Instantly, everyone fell silent.
He came, but he was accompanied by Liana.
Liana smiled sweetly, clutching Vincent’s sleeve, leaning on him affectionately.
In an instant, people around looked at Abbie, and many of them even showed a hint of sympathy in their eyes.
“Liana, you sat next to me.
Vincent, however, ignored it and had the servant add a chair next to his position, along with a set of cutlery.
The position of each person at the family banquet was fixed, which undoubtedly was a slap in Abbie’s face.
She lowered her head and held the fork, with a forced smile on her face.
Vincent seemed oblivious to the undercurrents as he nonchalantly served Liana, peeling shrimp and serving her food.
“You loved eating seafood the most, and these flavors should have suited your taste.”
The bowl in front of Liana kept piling up higher and higher. She shyly said, “Enough, Vincent, I can’t finish it. You don’t need to serve me anymore.”
Upon hearing these words, he stopped.
Due to pregnancy, the taste of seafood became particularly sensitive at this time.
With the smell of sea breeze penetrating her nostrils, Abbie stopped her fork. Her stomach churned, and the sour water refluxed, causing extreme discomfort.
For the first time, she rudely dropped the fork, covered her mouth, and rushed to the side, continuously retching.
Tears welled up at the corner of the eyes, sparkling. The face turned red, and the hand pressed tightly against the chest, leaning against the wall and
