Chapter 249
"Hold on. I''m going to make a call." Greg didn''t go to rest, either. When he heard Abigail mention
Philip''s name, he had already asked someone to investigate the matter. However, there was still no
news for them at this moment.
As for Abigail, she originally wanted to stop him. However, she immediately stopped herself from doing
so when she thought that although Greg might appear easy to talk to, he was actually a grounded
person. Therefore, she decided to wait. Nevertheless, deep down, she still felt a little more sorry and
bad for Greg.
Soon after, Greg returned.
"I''ve got something. ording to my investigator, the reason Philip got arrested was very simple. It was
Jonathan''s doing. But for some reason, he doesn''t want to get bailed out now. So do you want to go
and visit him instead?"
Philip didn''t wish to get bailed out was something rather beyond Greg''s expectation.
Simrly, Abigail was stunned too, when she heard that Philip didn''t want to get bailed out.
He wants to keep staying inside? What does he mean by that?
Did Philip get knocked so badly to his knees that he wants to spend the rest of his life in the detention
center?
Thoughts ran through Abigail''s mind as she was feeling a little iprehensible about the intention
behind Philip''s action. However, she still felt a little bad after she saw Greg looking tired.
"No rush. He''s in the detention center anyway, so he can''t escape. We can visit him anytime. But you—
you haven''t rested all night. Will you get some rest already? We''ll discuss this matter again after you
wake up from your sleep."
Abigail''s words warmed Greg''s heart. Despite feeling as warm as life, he still sighed when his gaze
shifted to the contract and documents in front of him. "Trust me. I also wish to rest, but I have to deal
with these matters first."
"Is Benjamin still sick?"
Abigail heard that Benjamin was sick. Therefore, she couldn''t help but ask when she couldn''t spot him
today.
Upon hearing that, Greg felt upset.
"Sweetheart, shouldn''t I be the one you should be concerned about?"
"I am! I''m concerned about you. Think about it. If Benjamin is here, you can just leave these matters to
him. Now that he''s not here, do you have other assistants who can help you? If not, how about your
deputy CEO? You''re not the only employee in this entirepany, so how can you work around the
clock by yourself like this?"
Abigail didn''t notice the upsetting tone in Greg''s words. Nheless, her words did make Greg grin
happily.
"Yeah, you''re right. I''m not a machine, so why are they pushing all the work to me?"
With that, Greg immediately used the inte in his office and called his two deputy CEOs to make a
trip to his office.
Upon receiving the call, the two deputy CEOs thought they had done something wrong. In a swift, they
headed to Greg''s office. Jittering in fear, they carefully opened the door and entered the office, only to
be stunned when they saw Abigail. However, Abigail paid no attention to them like they were some sort
of invisible men while sitting on the sofa on one side, ying with her phone.
Pushing the workloads in front of him forward, Greg casually put his legs up on the table. With an idle
demeanor, he said, "I''ll be busy in these two days, so I will need your help to deal with these affairs."
Upon hearing that, the two deputy CEOs looked at the documents in front of them with speechless
expressions painted across their faces.
"Mr. Buckley, we would like to, but only you have permission to ess these files. We—"
Before they could finish saying that, Greg quickly cut them off by saying, "It''s fine. I''ll just ask the
secretary to switch it up a little. I''ll grant you two the authority to fully handle these affairs."
At this rate, Greg nearly didn''t directly blurt out and told them that he was going to literally be an arm-
flinging shopkeeper.
In the meantime, the two deputy CEOs looked at each other and silently wept in sorrow. Mr. Buckley,
are you trying to take our lives? They wanted toin about the potential chances of death
resulting from the sudden increase in workload, yet they didn''t dare to do it in front of Greg. After that,
they looked at Greg''s cupid-struck state to learn that there was nothing that they could do to stop a
man in love.
Leaving with no choice, they could only take the order. "Yes, Mr. Buckley." Then, the two of them
eventually took the documents and went out, feeling bitter.
Once the two deputy CEOs left his office, Greg instantly felt carefree. Looking at Abigail with a smile,
he said, "Shall we go back home to rest? I don''t feelfy sleeping in the office."
"Sure." Abigail had no second opinion.
Later, the two of them held hands and swaggeringly left Buckley Group under the stare of the
employees. When the employees witnessed this sight, they whispered to one another that Greg might
be announcing his good news real soon. Sure enough, Greg overheard their whispers, and he couldn''t
help but grin happily.
"Sweetheart, when will you consider following me to register for our marriage? It''s been so long since
west talked about this, but why don''t you seem anxious?"
At this point, Greg decided to persuade Abigail with both soft and hard means. He was determined to
ask her to set a date for them to register their marriage. Otherwise, he would constantly feel anxious
about their unofficial rtionship in the eyes of thew. Greg was so anxious that not even the fact that
he had two children with Abigail could relieve his anxiety.
Looking at Greg''s anxious state, Abigail couldn''t help but think he looked funny. However, she also
knew that this man loved her very much. Therefore, she said after she had thought about it for a while,
"We''ll register our marriage once the affairs regarding Philip have been resolved."
"For real?! I''ve got them all recorded here, so don''t you dare go back on your words!”
Like a sneaky little man, Greg suddenly took out his phone and showed Abigail the evidence.
Seeing how childish Greg was at this moment, Abigail didn''t get mad at all. Instead, she involuntarily
laughed.
"You''re the only guy who treats me like a treasure, so I won''t go back on my words."
"As your man, it''s natural for me to cherish you so dearly."
Then, Abigail stated a specific date. Once Greg was notified of the date, he was finally reassured and
calmed.
Because Greg hadn''t slept all night, Abigail directly drove him back to Allie''s Garden.
The atmosphere in the house was rather quiet, as the children were currently in kindergarten.
Initially, Greg nned to cuddle with Abigail. However, he had to give up on that idea because she was
worried about his condition. Therefore, he could only wash up and go to bed. Nheless, he still
wanted Abigail to stay by his side and apany him while he was asleep.
Even though Abigail had always been someone with a cold demeanor, she somehow felt nothing and
simply smiled when Greg was being super clingy.
Taking advantage of the time Greg was resting, Abigail logged into her gaming ount and yed the
game. When she saw that Greg had sent a lot of flowers to her character in the game, she couldn''t
help feeling warm inside.
Suddenly, a user named Laity sent a message to Abigail. "Hey, Abigail! Are you free after tomorrow?"
Feeling a little puzzled, Abigail replied to the message. "Who''s this?"
Shortly after, Abigail received a reply. "You don''t remember me anymore, Abigail? Didn''t you say that
you wanted to join our team and help uspete in the game?"
At once, a realization hit Abigail. Looking at the other party''s reply, she suddenly understood who the
person in front of her might be. Listening to this person, I''m afraid that this person is someone from
Greg''s office.
"Sure thing! Let me know the time and ce again, and I''ll head over."
Thinking that she had nothing to do recently, she eventually agreed. Regardless, I have to fulfill my
promise since I have promised to help them topete in the game. Besides, the game isn''t that
difficult, either.
The other party was especially overjoyed when they received Abigail''s affirmation.
"Oh, and Abigail, the name is Patrick Wright. The captain had gone to get our team uniform recently, so
you can just ask me if you have any questions."
"Okay." After Abigail ended the conversation, she thought about the game. Therefore, she involuntarily
reyed the game. Time passed, and it was almost noon once she had improved the speed of her
hand and familiarized herself with the gaming strategy.
Seeing that Greg was still resting, she nned to go to the kitchen to make something delicious for
him.
Growing up, Abigail was never someone who would make a big fuss about food, but she discovered
that Greg was different. Greg paid great attention to nutrition. Coincidentally, there was a chicken in the
refrigerator. Hence, Abigail decided to make a pot of nutritious, hearty homemade chicken soup. Taking
the chicken out of the refrigerator, she cleaned it up and directly made the chicken soup.
Not long after, the strong fragranceing from the pot of chicken soup wafted into the bedroom and
assailed Greg''s nostrils. Feeling his hunger was stimted, he instantly woke up, lifted the quilt, and
got out of bed. When he saw Abigail getting busy in the kitchen, he felt very happy for a moment.
At the same time, he slightly raised the corners of his lips into a smile. Likewise, his pair of legs also
seemed to have their own consciousness, urging him to make his way toward Abigail.
Once he was mere inches away from Abigail, he directly hugged her from behind. With aid-back
manner, he said, "Smells good."
"Greg? You woke up just in time. Go and wash your hands. The meal will be ready in a jiffy."
"Forget the meal. I want to savor you."
Without a doubt, Abigail immediately punched him after she heard his indecent words.
"Wash your hands and enjoy your meal first!"
"Enjoy my meal first? First?"
Out of the blue, Greg noticed the w in her sentence. Thus, he asked sinisterly, "Then what about
after the meal?"
Upon hearing that, Abigail simply felt that Greg would meet his death in bed sooner orter. How can
he possibly not know how to restrain his lust?
Hence, she instantaneously red at him and said, "We have plenty of time, but why must you act like
a 17 or 18 years old teenage boy who is in heat?"
Listening to Abigail''s remark, Greg had a feeling that he was being despised by her.
Even so, he simply pouted to show his discontentment. Meanwhile, his hands were still tightly wrapped
around Abigail, refusing to let her go.
Sensing that she couldn''t do anything with him hugging her in such a way, Abigail couldn''t hold herself
and patted his arms away.
"Let go."
"No, I don''t want to!" Greg was still throwing tantrums like a child.
Rolling her eyes at his behavior, Abigail said, "I won''t sign up for the marriage registration with you if
you keep acting like this again."
"What did you say, Abigail? I dare you to say it again, Abigail."
Like he was about to engulf a human being, the gaze in Greg''s eyes abruptly changed and became
frightening. If others saw this, they would definitely tremble in fear. However, that was not the case for
Abigail. Greg''s ominous stares possessed no use to her.
Sounding light and calm, Abigail said, "I''m going to do it for real if I say it again. Are you sure you want
me to say it?"
"Then, forget it. It''s best if you don''t say it." With that, Greg let go of Abigail, feeling a little frustrated.
Then, Abigail turned around and went to get the dishes. However, she was smiling the whole time.
Greg, you''re no match for me. It''s as easy as ABC for me to deal with you.
As for Greg, he didn''t have the slightest clue that Abigail was teasing him. Feeling bummed, he washed
his hands and helped Abigail to serve the food on the table. Then, he took his seat and looked at the
nutritious dishes Abigail had cooked for him on the table. In an instant, his mood became much better.
"I''ll apany you to visit Philip after we finish our meal."
Sure enough, he remembered clearly the words Abigail had said earlier. ording to her, she would go
for the marriage registration with him once the affairs regarding Philip were over. Therefore, he decided
to sacrifice his sleep in order to make his rtionship with Abigail official in the eyes of thew quicker
and sooner.
Naturally, Abigail knew what he had on his mind. However, she said calmly, "Let''s go pick Emma up
this afternoon, and we''ll go visit Philip together with her."
Upon hearing that, Greg paused for a moment.
"What''s the matter? Could it possibly be that you havepassion for Emma now?"
"Well, that''s not entirely the case. Since we''re going there, we might as well bring her together with us.
Emma is Philip''s biological daughter after all, so she has the right to know everything." Listening to
Abigail''s words, Greg pondered for a while. Then, he said, "I''ll let you arrange this matter."
After the two of them had finished their meal, Greg asked Abigail to take a rest. As for him, he went into
the kitchen, cleaned up the table, and washed the tableware.
Looking at Greg skillfully doing the chores, Abigail couldn''t help but feel calm at heart.
There were servants at Greg''s home before, but he decided toy them off except for Mrs. Nova simply
because I dislike having outsiders around. Even so, Mrs. Nova does not stay with us, and she would
only visit once or twice. What Greg did for me was more than I''d ever wished for.
It''s hard for a man, especially a man as prideful as Greg, to make changes for me. Not to mention, he
even thinks it''s fine to personally cook for me. What more can I ask for? From what I see, I can still rely
on a man like him for the rest of my life.
Realizing that she was looking at Greg in a trance, she immediately retracted her gaze. At once, she
mentally scolded herself.
Seriously? Get a grip on yourself, Abigail!
You''re not even a 17, 18, or even 19-year-old teenage girl anymore. How can you still be captivated by
Greg''s charm?
Once she was done reprimanding herself, she smiled faintly. Then, she took her phone and walked out.
Meanwhile, Greg noticed that Abigail was staring at him despite him being busy with the dishes.
Although he was delighted inside, he didn''t dare to look back, fearing that he would disrupt Abigail from
staring at him.

With his mind still thinking of how Abigail stared at him in a trance, he couldn''t help but giggle to
himself. Who knew the feeling of being admired and watched by the woman I love could be
tremendously good?
However, Greg realized that Abigail had taken her phone and left just when he decided to shoot her his
charming smile.
Had she left? Greg was feeling a little bummed.
In the meantime, Abigail was unaware of Greg''s thoughts at this moment, and she directly gave Emma
a call.
"Pack up, and I''ll go pick you upter. We''ll visit Philip."
The moment these words escaped Abigail''s lips, Emma instantly became excited.
"Is there news about Dad?"
"Yeah."
After that, Abigail hung up the phone. However, Emma was still feeling very excited after she received
this news. From her perspective, there was a chance that she could bail Philip out as long as Abigail
sessfully located Philip. This is great! I won''t be alone anymore!
After the downfall of the Kain Family, Emma had been drowning in despair. Therefore, Philip was like a
log that she could float on. As long as Philip was by her side, she would feel much more at ease.
