Chapter 48
Abigail didn’t care in the slightest about my feelings. She would easily tear down my dignity even in front of others and Joshua..
She had countless company matters to handle back when we had just married. She had to launch new initiatives, oversee ongoing works, negotiate collaborations, and secure investments.
She was so busy then that she barely had the time to eat, which eventually led to her having stomach issues. I was worried about her health, so I quit my job to take care of her.
I would make three meals a day for her and deliver them to her company. I was the one who attended to all the household affairs.
She would give me a sum from what she earned for household expenses every month.
However, I never spent her money. All I spent were the savings I had from when I had worked.
Yet, that fact became a sore point for her to shame me with now.
I glanced up at her faintly and chuckled as I shook my head. “Your money is yours. It has nothing to do with me. Everything will be settled properly when we get divorced, so you don’t need to worry about me pocketing anything.”
“You…” Abigail frowned and looked at me as if she wanted to say something but ended up holding her tongue.
“Abigail, did I say something wrong? Please don’t fight with Samuel because of me.” Joshua tugged gently at Abigail’s hand with a pitiful expression behind her and pleaded with a hint of
grievance.
I glanced at him faintly and was amused.
Joshua had truly mastered the art of feigning innocence and helplessness.
No wonder Abigail adored him so much and even went to great lengths to lavish him with an expensive brooch.
“This is not your fault. You mustn’t feel guilty.” She stroked his hair tenderly and said softly, ” Be good, alright?”
Joshua smiled with satisfaction. His eyes were filled with mockery and scorn when he looked up at me again as if he was laughing at me and seeing me as nothing more than a pitiful soul.
Abigail walked up to me with a cold expression. Her tone was laced with irritation. “Samuel, I’ve said this before. Don’t even think about divorcing me.”
Her tone left no room for debate and carried a hint of unmistakable threat before she continued icily, “Did I make myself clear, or should I get a translator to spell it out for you?”
Chap 48
I looked at her calmly, wondering what she saw in me right now.
Was I a servant who was defying her yet still kept underfoot, or was I a pitiful stray dog barking helplessly at her?
Perhaps it was both.
I didn’t respond to her. Instead, I turned to Blair and politely said, “Ms. Shepherd, I apologize. It seems like I’ve disrupted your day. Let’s reschedule for another time. I wouldn’t want to spoil your mood.”
With that, I turned around and was about to leave before Blair called out to me, “One moment.
I stopped in my tracks and lifted my head in confusion before glancing at her.
She stepped in front of Abigail and said courteously, “Abigail, Mr. Gebb is my guest regardless
your issues. There’s no need for us to waste any more time over your dispute, is there?”

Abigail remained silent and just stared at me sternly.
Seeing no response from her, Blair glanced over at me gently and smiled. “Mr. Gebb, I’ll treat you to a cup of coffee, and we can talk further.”
let’s
- go.
“Okay.” I nodded and accepted her invitation.
I followed her to the car after stepping out of the room.
“Sit in front.” She looked at me and gestured faintly when I headed for the back door. “I’d rather not be mistaken as your driver.”
