Chapter 262


    Chapter 262 Thunderstorm Coming


    Abigail leaned into the couch as she stared at Luna, who was admiring the peacock overtone pearl


    excitedly.


    “I nned on using those thousand pearls to design a gown. We’re selling it for 8 hundred.” Abigail told


    her.


    1-


    “This is the second most expensive dress aside from the one for Lexie. But the color of this pearl is


    expensive, let alone your design. You can draw the design first, and we’ll work on the restter.” Luna


    walked to her side with anticipation on her face.


    “I wanted to get some normal pearls to design a dress, but I discovered this surprise instead.” Abigail


    smiled, satisfied with the trip to Eastbay.


    “This is so beautiful.” Luna could not resist and touched the pearl Abigail gave her.


    “Take your time admiring it. I’m heading home.” Abigail stood up and told her while pinching her face


    lightly.


    “Okay. Rest well. Don’t worry about rushing the design.” Luna stood up with her. Then, she muttered,


    “I’ve got to find myself a jewelry designer now so I can wear this baby soon!”


    Abigail could not help butugh. Compared to the peace on her side, there was a thunderstorm on


    Eric’s side.


    As soon as he posted his statement, Josh immediately called him. “Why didn’t you discuss this with me


    before posting on Twitter? Even if you disagree with the marriage, we should discuss this. You’ve upset


    Kelly now,” Josh said and sighed.


    “You told me not to take the words of elders as edicts, but you keep meeting me for Kelly. I’ve always


    come up with an excuse. You should know my feelings. I know you hope I can treat her like how I


    treated Abigail, but I just can’t do it.” Eric did not deny that he hurt Kelly.


    He simply harbored no feelings toward Kelly, nor could he transfer a part of his feelings for Abigail to


    her.


    “You’re too impulsive. Kelly’s just returned, and your statement embarrassed her. My parents dote on


    her, and your actions will cause endless problems for Abigail, do you understand?” Josh’s voice went


    chilly.


    He would not interfere if Eric wanted to pursue other things. However, Eric mentioned that he disagreed


    with the engagement, which was akin to disrespecting the elders of both families just for Abigail.


    At first, the elders of both families thought they had the wrong person and felt bad for intruding on


    Abigail’s family. So, they pretended not to know that Eric went to Eastbay to find her, but now,


    Josh’s father was furious since Kelly was dragged into this.


    Eric calmed down and frowned. After a long time, he said in a low voice, “I’ll protect her. No matter


    what they do, I won’t let them harm Abigail.”


    Josh sighed. “You’re so stubborn. If you want to pursue her, you should do it slowly. I’llfort Kelly.


    You should talk this out with your parents so they won’t find trouble with Abigail.”


    Even if Abigail was not Josh’s sister or Eric’s originally appointed fiance, their desire to protect her had


    never changed.


    After hanging up the phone, Josh was still frowning with his phone in his hands.


    “Josh.” Kelly’s voice rang from behind him.


    When he turned around, he hid the worry on his face and reced it with a doting smile. “What’s up?”


    “Did my return make things difficult for Eric? I saw his post. I’m impressed by him and envy Abigail. If


    possible, I’ll tell her I just got to know Eric and hope she’s not affected by the negative news.” Her big


    eyes were filled with obedience.


    Then, he walked toward her and patted her head. “It’s fine. Eric can handle his problems. Abigail


    doesn’t wish for us to disturb her. Oh, she’s the same age as you, so it’s not right to call her sis.”


    “Oh. Okay. I know now.” Kelly lowered her eyes like an obedient child.


    Josh’s heart ached at her response as she had just returned to the family, yet behaved like she was


    walking on eggshells even though the whole family treated her well. She was obedient and looked like


    a puppet.


    She was told about the marriage between the Davidsons and Pearsons by their parents. Josh had


    wanted to meet Eric to see if there was chemistry between the two. If there was not, then they would


    think of a solution. Unexpectedly, Eric refused to meet him and went to Eastbay, leading to such a thing


    happening.


    “If there’s nothing else, I’ll return to my room, Josh.” Kelly’s voice once again brought Josh back from


    his thoughts.


    “Okay. Rest well. You don’t need to worry about this. Your return is the next best thing. Everything else


    can be discussed. We’ll prioritize your feelings. Even Eric isn’t as important as you.” He


    nodded.


    In other words, he was implying to her that the marriage promise between both families could be


    changed. If Eric was not agreeable to the marriage, the Pearsons could always propose


    terminating the marriage contract without considering the Davidsons‘ feelings.This is from N?velDrama.Org.
