Chapter 307 This Is a Misunderstanding
Hearing what Abbot said and seeing how he looked, Reba had mixed feelings at the moment.
If there was a brick on the ground now, she would certainly pick it up and knock herself out.
They looked at each other. Reba tried to recover herself and keptpressing her lips. She
assumed that it was necessary for her to clear up his misunderstanding. After taking a deep breath,
she made up her mind to exin clearly. "Mr. Carter," said she.
Seeing Reba seemed in a dilemma, Abbot frowned more deeply and asked, "Have you ever heard
of this?"
Reba felt a knot in her stomach and uttered, "What is it?"
Abbot ground his teeth and said, "You can''t inflict your love on the one who doesn''t love you."
Reba was rendered speechless.
Reba was regretful for thinking of exining to him.
Abbot''s thoughts were oddly different from ordinary people''s. If one day, she wanted to prove that she
didn''t love him at the risk of losing her life, he would probably think that shemitted suicide because

her love for him was not reciprocated by him.
The atmosphere between Reba and Abbot was so awkward when the door of the private room was
suddenly opened from the inside. Tanner stood inside the room with a smile and looked at them.
"Have you two been outside the door the whole time? I was going to find you back to have dinner"
With that, Tanner turned sideways, signaling Abbot to enter the room.
When Abbot brushed past Tanner, he deliberately slowed down a little bit and said to Tanner, "Drop
your acting. I''ve known everything."
"Eh?" Tanner was confused.
Reba kicked Tanner''s calf, motioning him not to speak.
Tanner was even more confused now.
After the three people were seated, the waiters served the food and drinks.
The lunch was on Reba today, so she stood up with a wine ss and delivered a speech out of
courtesy.
Colin yed along, and Reba proposed a toast to everybody.
"Today, it''s my treat. We are all friends, so don''t stand on ceremony. Just eat your fill."
With that, Reba downed the wine in her hand and nced at the dishes on the table, feeling sorry
for her purse.
After Reba sat down, she kicked Tanner under the table.
Tanner looked up at her and asked with his eyes: [What''s wrong?]
Reba held her head with one hand, turned to look at Tanner, and said in a voice that was only
audible to them two, "We''ll split the bill in half. Do you hear me?"
Tanner twitched the corner of his mouth, turning a deaf ear to what she said. He then lowered his head
to eat the food on his te intently, never looking up again.
Reba red at him and kicked him again.
Tanner moved his chair quietly and sat close to Abbot.
Seeing that, Reba also moved her chair to Tanner.
Tanner couldn''t move anymore, and Reba stretched out her foot to kick him again.
After a kick, Tanner was unaffected.
After another kick, Tanner was still unaffected.
After the third kick, Abbot turned to look at Reba with his face blushing and uttered, "There are so
many people around. What the hell are you doing? "
Hearing Abbot''s words, Reba was stupefied. She then lowered her head and nced under the
table.
Instantly, she was caught by surprise.
Tanner was so foxy as to sit with his legs crossed. Consequently, the one she had kicked three times
was actually Abbot.
Reba smiled awkwardly and stated, "Mr. Carter, would you take my word for it if I say this is a
misunderstanding?"
Abbot didn''t answer her, but the look in his eyes was clear; he didn''t believe it at all.
Reba took a breath and gave Tanner the evil eye, whereas thetter was now trying his best to stop
himself from bursting outughing.
Maybe she felt sorry for having to spend a lot of money on this meal, or maybe she was angered by
Abbot''s whimsical train of thought, so Reba kept drinking wine.
Faye tried to dissuade her twice, but it was all in vain.
When they all had enough and it was time to get the bill, Reba managed to get herself drunk.
They walked out of the private room, and Colin went to pay for the meal with his card. Reba
wrapped her arms around Faye''s neck and murmured, "Faye, I miss you so bad these days!
"Come and live in my ce today. You haven''t crashed at my ce for a long time since you''re with
Colin."
With that, Reba suddenly set her eyes on Abbot nearby and lowered her voice, saying, "What''s
wrong with Abbot?"
Faye smiled and uttered, "His train of thought is so different from others''."
Reba nodded hard.
Faye chitchatted with Reba, who was wasted. Tanner received a phone call, and his agent asked
him to go back to thepany.
Tanner hung up the phone and said goodbye to Faye, "Faye, there''s something going on in the
Faye said, "No biggie. You should be careful after going out. Don''t be photographed by the
entertainment reporters."
Tanner put on the hood of his down jacket and took a mask out of his pocket before making an "OK"
gesture.
Shortly after Tanner left, Colin and Abbot came back after getting the bill at the front desk.
Colin darted a nce at drunken Reba, arched his eyebrows, and asked, "Shall we send her back
first?"
Faye said, "Mm-hmm."
With that, Faye helped Reba go out.
To their surprise, Reba suddenly broke free of Faye''s hold when they just took a few steps.
Reba held the wall and straightened up, uttering, "You don''t need to send me home. I''m not drunk. I
can go home by myself."
Then, Reba even took out the car keys from her pocket and shook them in the air. "See?" I just
bought a Mercedes-Benz," said she.
Faye was rendered speechless.
So was Colin.
Abbot frowned.
Looking at the drunken Reba, the three people were silent for a while. Colin stated with a faint
smile, "Abbot, if you have something to do, just leave now. Ms. ck seems stered. I might ask
Robert toe and drive her home."
Abbot kept a straight face silently. After a few seconds, he said calmly, "I can drive her home."
"Hmm?" Colin turned to look at Abbot with his eyebrows arched.
Abbot said, "I know what''s in your mind."
Colin knew what he was talking about but still asked, "What''s in my mind?"
Abbotpressed his lips without saying anything.
Since Reba was drunk, she was getting so crazy.
While Colin was talking to Abbot, she was crouching down on the ground and scratching the tiled floor
in the lobby of the hotel with her car keys.
It took her a lot of money to get the car keys.
It took Marriott a lot of money to buy the tiles.
For a moment, there was no telling which party was getting hurt.
"Stop it," said Faye as she crouched at Reba''s side to stop her.
Reba turned a deaf ear to her.
Faye continued, "The tiles are expensive."
Reba still turned a deaf ear to her.
Faye lowered her voice, "You''ll have topensate the hotel."
Reba silently put her car keys back.
Faye was subdued.
Looking at Reba, who was making trouble, Colin spoke in a low and calm voice, "Abbot."
"Hmm?" Abbot was befuddled.
Colin teased, "Are you sure you want to send her home?"
Abbot looked sideways at Colin and did not reply. With a long face, he walked forward and grabbed
Reba''s wrist. Then, he pulled her up and headed out of the hotel. His action had given Colin the
answer.
Faye did not figure out what had happened, but Reba had been dragged away by Abbot.
Faye looked up at Colin with suspicion.
Colin walked up to her and extended his hand to her, saying, "Don''t worry, Abbot is a nice guy."
With that, Faye stood up and chuckled. "I just don''t know if Ms. ck is that nice," uttered she.
