    Chapter 560 Abby Collecting Recybles


    Caleb, who was standing by the side, pragmatically agreed with Sasha’s words after which he nodded as


    well. “She’s right. Be careful because you might burn yourself.”


    “You taciturn prick! You should pay more attention to yourself rather thanmenting about my life. Your


    parents will find out about you and Abby soon enough. By then, they’ll surely break your legs!” Skyler


    was upset with Caleb, so he brought up Abby to take a shot at him.


    Although Caleb was a police officer by profession, he originated from a wealthy family background and


    his family was well-to-do. A woman suitable to marry into the Shaw family would definitely have to be a


    wealthy debutante. Not only was the woman expected to be cultured and knowledgeable, but she also


    had to be able to hold herself well in front of people. Only someone from such a background would be a


    great match for the Shaws.


    As for Abby, who had originated from the countryside like Veronica, she clearly was not a good match.


    Furthermore, she was a mute and still underaged.


    “Matt has been able to handle his matter with Miss Murphy quite well, so why would you think that I won’t


    be able to handle mine as well?” Caleb expressed his annoyance with a thunderous expression on his


    face.


    “I guess just by the fact that she’s a mute and she’s not even eighteen yet.”


    “Shut up! I’m well-aware without your reminder!”

    “Oho! The taciturn prick is upset! Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Looks like you’ve indeed fallen for Naruto. Ouch! That


    hurts! Why did you kick me?”


    Skyler did not even get to finish his sentence when Caleb lifted his feet to kick him on the thigh. Gasping


    in pain, he started to yelp loudly.


    “You deserve it!” Caleb left right after saying that.


    After he left the hospital, he drove back home and somehow found himself approaching Abby’s


    apartment close to her school. He sat in his car and wound down the window to light a cigarette.


    Subsequently, he puffed on it silently.


    In a blink of an eye, half a year had gone by since he had arranged for Abby to attend her final year of


    high school here after Christmas. However, he only saw her a handful of times. The only time they had


    gone out together and enjoyed themselves was during the barbeque at Qurra Mountain that Veronica


    invited them to.


    It was not that he did not want to see her but because hecked the courage. He lifted his wrist to check


    the time on his watch and it was already midnight. Locating his gaze up the building, he could easily find


    Abby’s window out of the multiple windows of the apartment.


    Perhaps it was because he hade over secretly a lot of times, so he was able to easily locate her


    window. He sat in his car and finished puffing a few cigarettes. After checking the time and realizing that


    it was close to 1.00AM, he finally started his ignition and made a U-turn. He drove for about half a mile


    when he noticed a woman with a nylon bag busy rummaging for some recyble items at a garbage


    point.


    He shook his head andmented to himself about the hardships in life. After all, it was 1.00AM and yet


    there was someone here busy trying to seek some recybles. Without giving much thought to it, he


    continued on his way.


    Perhaps it would have been much better had he not nced through the rearview mirror, but he did. At


    that moment, he perceptively sensed that the figure looked familiar before he frowned and instantly


    turned back. He drove into the rubbish collection point and wound down the window to tilt his head to


    look at the side.


    To his surprise, he realized that that woman was none other than Abby! That quickly exined the


    familiarity he felt through the rearview mirror as he kept his eyes on her back. Meanwhile, Abby, who was


    busy collecting recybles, sensed a car stopped behind her and instantly turned around in shock to


    take a look.


    As soon as she realized that the man in the car was Caleb, her face instantly turned as pale as a sheet


    and she hastily shoved the nylon bag she had behind her to hide it. Despite doing that, she was too


    skinny, so she did not manage to hide the bag full of stic bottles behind her tiny figure.


    Underneath the dim yellow street lights, she was dressed in ck pants and a gray hoodie with her hair


    tied into two braids. She also had a make-and-cap disguise on, so she waspletely covered up. She


    did not expect Caleb to turn up at this time of the day and neither did she expect him to sessfully


    identify her with just a single nce. Ah. I forgot that he’s a cop. No wonder he has a knack for


    remembering faces and physiques.


    Caleb tightened his grip on his steering wheel and his expression darkened significantly. After a brief


    pause, he opened the car door and got out to stand in front of Abby as he hollered angrily, “What are you


    doing?”


    Just by standing there was enough to be hit with the stench from the pile of rubbish behind her. After all,


    this was a rubbish collection point for every resident staying in this area.


    It was the peak of summer and the weather was high, so the stench was horrendous.


    Abby shook her head and bit her lip. She lowered her head because she did not dare to meet his eyes


    and she looked like a guilty kid who hadmitted a mistake.


    Watching her silence, his anger grew as he spoke in a serious tone, “I’m asking you, what are you doing


    here?”
