Chapter 327 Abigail's Decision

Day Thirty-Nine...

~~*****~~

Abigail couldn't utter a word. She didn't know whether to object or not. Ana and Santra just looked at her with questioning gazes, asking her if she would agree. They knew that Abigail was staying in someone else's house. They didn't even know her current address at this moment.

Though they assumed that Dave was a special guy to her, they were still surprised when Dave finally admitted the real relationship between them.

Santra and Ana could understand why Dave wanted to take care of Abigail. They somehow felt guilty for not being able to secure Abigail's safety before. It was a miracle that she stayed alive even after falling off the 13th floor of the building.

On the other hand, Abigail's bodyguard stepped forward and butted in. He would be in trouble if he returned to the mansion without Abigail. "I have to bring Miss Abi back to the mansion. My master and young master will scold me if she won't come home."

Dave furrowed his eyebrows the moment he saw the bodyguard. "Who is he?" Dave asked them. Ana and Santra immediately shifted their eyes to Abigail. She should answer this question.

Abigail glanced at her bodyguard, signaling him to stay quiet. She didn't want Dave to know about Nathan and Ethan. She would also be in trouble. Then she spoke up, answering Dave's question. "He is my bodyguard."

Dave understood why Abigail needed a bodyguard but he was curious about the master and young master the bodyguard mentioned a while ago. "But who are the master and the young master? And which mansion he was referring to?"

Abigail felt like Dave was interrogating them. This was one of the reasons she felt uncomfortable with him. He was a police officer. And an assassin like her was allergic to them. Abigail just smiled awkwardly, trying to come up with the best alibi.

"He is referring to my fans... loyal fans. Actually, they are the ones who recommended him to become my bodyguard. I am supposed to meet them later, that's why he mentioned that he had to bring me to the mansion." Abigail stared at her bodyguard with a warning glare. She was asking him to play along with her lies.

The bodyguard could only nod in agreement. He was intimidated by Abigail's sharp gaze. He sensed that he would experience Abigail's wrath if he said another word. To save his ass, he just remained quiet.

Deep inside, the bodyguard was having conflicting thoughts. What would he do if Abigail decided to go with the man? How would he explain this to Nathan, most especially to Ethan?

"If you want, I can accompany you to the mansion," Dave suddenly volunteered.

"But Dave... can we continue hiding our relationship from the public? As long as I can't recall our memories together, can we consider ourselves friends?" Abigail made another request from him.

Dave fell silent for a moment. He couldn't promise that he would be able to control himself. He had been missing her for a month. He didn't expect that once he came back, Abigail would no longer remember him. However, he had no choice but to respect Abigail. "I don't mind... as long as you don't push me away."

"Thank you for understanding my current situation," Abigail softly said, expressing her gratitude. Though she didn't know him, she could feel his genuine concern for the real Abigail.

'I guess, he truly loved her. But I still need to make sure that he has no involvement with the incident that happened to the real Abigail.'

[ 5 Hours Later... ]

At Sparks Mansion, the bodyguard returned home without Abigail. He immediately sought Nathan's presence to report what happened. Nathan was in his study room when the bodyguard entered the house.'

Butler Li was the first one who noticed that the bodyguard arrived alone. "Where is Miss Abi? She is not with you."

The bodyguard put on a pitiful face before nodding his head. "She is not coming home. A guy took her."

Butler Li's eyes widened and gasped, "WHAT?! But why? Who is the guy? Why did you let him take Miss Abi away?! Master Nathan will fire you!"

The bodyguard became more anxious when he heard Butler Li's last remarks. "I have no choice. It was Miss Abi's decision. Can you help me relay this information to Master Nathan? I don't think I can report this alone."

Butler Li clicked his tongue and shook his head helplessly. "Tsk, Tsk, Tsk... Master Nathan is not the only problem... but also our young master Ethan. He will look for Miss Abi. How are we going to explain this to him? He might throw a fit once more."

"Go and report this to Master Nathan. I will have to ask the maids to hide and keep the porcelain vases, otherwise, young master Ethan will target them again, breaking them into tiny pieces!" Butler Li said with urgency.

The bodyguard could only scratch the back of his head. 'I knew it. Big trouble might happen. I should have brought Miss Abi back.'
