    Chapter 772 Home Sweet Home


    Colin spoke earnestly, and a smile tugged at the corner of Faye''s lips.


    At the same time, in the cks'' vi.


    Abbot was leaning against the headboard, holding a bowl of in soup in his hands, his face as


    gloomy as he was attending a funeral. He was eating without any enjoyment.


    Abbot frowned as he looked at Reba by the bedside, "Could you please stopughing?"


    Reba couldn''t control herughter at all. She ended up squatting down on the floor and gasped for


    breath between her giggles. She said, "I mean, hahaha. Seriously? What were you thinking? Why were


    you hugging my dad in the morning and kissing him? Hahaha..."


    Reba''sughter was infectious, and Abbot felt so embarrassed.


    As Reba''sughter finally subsided, Abbot''s already morose expression grew even darker.


    A few minutester, the nanny knocked on the bedroom door from outside and said, "Ba, Faye is


    here."


    Reba got up from the floor. She was still struggling to contain herughter and answered, "Alright.


    Hahaha... I''ming. Hahaha..."


    Reba chuckled as she walked out of the room, she managed to control herughter only when she


    was walking down the stairs.


    In the living room, it had been a while since Reba''s mother had seen Faye. She held Faye''s hand


    and bombarded her with questions.


    Faye answered each one, and then Reba''s mother nced at Colin and whispered, "This young


    man looks pretty good."


    Faye nodded, "Yes."


    After Faye finished answering, Reba''s mother was about to ask further questions. Then, Reba


    came down from the second floor and gave Faye a big hug.


    Reba''s mother stood up and headed to the kitchen.


    Seeing that Reba''s mother left, Colin stood up and spoke, "I''ll go check on Abbot."


    Reba''s lips curled into a smile and said, "Second room on the left, upstairs."


    "Alright, you two please carry on," Colin said and walked upstairs.


    Seeing that Reba barely contained herughter, Faye asked, "What''s so funny?"


    Reba leaned closer to Faye and whispered, "Did Abbot call you toe here?"


    Faye nodded.


    Reba''s shoulders shook withughter at the revtion.


    Seeing her reaction, Faye couldn''t help butugh as well. She asked, "What happened exactly? Was it


    just because your dad and he were in the same roomst night?"


    Reba shook her head, her amusement growing even stronger. She replied, "No."


    Faye''s curiosity was piqued. She asked further, "Then what happened?"


    Reba leaned closer, her hand cupped around her mouth as she whispered near Faye''s ear, "Last


    night, my dad was going to sleep on the floor while Abbot took the bed. But in the middle of the night,


    my dad must''ve been a bit disoriented after he went to the bathroom. He thought he was in his own


    room and just climbed onto the bed."


    "And guess what? Abbot was even worse. He woke up early this morning, probably thinking I was


    sleeping next to him, and he proceeded to give my dad''s head at the back a series of enthusiastic


    kisses. After that, he evenined that my dad''s head was poking his mouth..."


    It wasn''t sure whether it was Reba''s vivid description or Faye''s vivid imagination.


    As Reba finished narrating, the two of them burst intoughter, sitting side by side on the couch.


    Reba''s mother returned with some fruit and saw the two of them on the couch, giggling


    uncontrobly.


    After she put the fruit down, she joined in theughter, yfully poking each of their foreheads, and


    said, "Both of you are grown-ups now and about to get married, yet you''re still behaving like children."


    Faye and Reba exchanged a nce, stifling theirughter and sitting properly.


    "Faye, your favorite oranges." Reba''s mother passed the neatly cut fruit forward, her eyes filled with


    affection as she looked at Faye.


    Reba''s mother''s love for Faye wasn''t out of nowhere.


    They first met at school. It was when Faye had gotten into a fight with someone and their parents were


    called in.


    Faye had no parents to call, and she didn''t want to trouble the Farrells, so Reba called her mother


    for help.


    At first, Reba''s mother thought Faye was one of those troublesome and unruly kids who always


    picked up fights. She initially refused to help, but under Reba''s persistent persuasion, she


    eventually went to the school.


    The person Faye fought with was a boy from a rtively well-off family. He had originally tried to


    pursue Faye, but after several unsessful attempts, he started spreading rumors that Faye wasn''t a


    good girl. He imed that sleeping with her was easy and cost only two hundred.


    At that time, Faye wasn''t skilled at hiding her emotions and her reaction was rather aggressive.


    The boy''s mother was a stubborn woman, insisting on having Faye expelled from school.


    The school''s disciplinary officer was caught in a dilemma. On one hand, they couldn''t afford to offend


    the boy''s family, and on the other, they knew that Faye was being supported by the Farrells


    In the end, it was Reba''s mother who helped the disciplinary officer out of the situation.


    Both the boy''s mother and Reba''s mother were quite stubborn.


    Upon learning the whole story, Reba''s mother went straight to the disciplinary officer''s office and


    began a scolding session that was entirely devoid of profanity but still packed quite a punch.


    It could be said that she thoroughly insulted the boy''s family lineage and ancestry.


    The boy''s mother got angry and attempted to use physical force, but Reba''s mother restrained her


    and even gave her a resounding p.


    Reba''s mother''s p not only left the boy''s mother dumbfounded, but also left Faye in a state of


    shock.


    When Reba''s mother led Faye out of the disciplinary officer''s office, Faye was still in a daze.


    When they were inside the car, Reba''s motherughed and yfully tapped Faye''s forehead, just


    like when she handed her the orange. She said, "You''re too timid. In the future, if you have any trouble,


    ask Reba to call me, and I''ll have your back."


    Faye wasn''t particrly skilled at smiling.


    But on that day, she did smile, even though those injuries on her face were slightly painful when she


    did.


    The living room exuded a warm atmosphere. On the other hand, in the bedroom upstairs, Abbot leaned


    against the headboard and looked resigned. He said, "Go ahead andugh if you want. Don''t end up


    with internal injuries from holding it in."


    Colin chuckled suddenly, "It''s okay. It''s not that funny."


    Abbot let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and looked thoroughly dejected.


    He was very much annoyed.


    He wasn''t in the mood to banter with Colin.


    He was worried that so many unexpected problems had cropped up even though he hadn''t married


    Reba yet. He made a fool of himself in front of Reba''s father, and he had no idea what


    Reba''s father thought of him.


    Would Reba''s father think he was unreliable?


    Colin teased, "Did you call me here to help you get out of here?"


    When it came to leaving the cks'' vi, Abbot''s expression grew even more sour.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Seeing Abbot''s eyebrows furrowing more intensely, Colin chuckled, "What''s the matter? Did you not


    call me for this reason?"


    "Yes." After Abbot finished speaking, he exined how he had arranged for a doctor to see him by


    Jadon yesterday.


    Colin mocked, "Your actions don''t bring any good to yourself. It''s like lifting a stone to drop it on your


    own foot."


    Abbot felt upset and replied, "The stone was pretty big, and my foot hurts quite a bit."


    Colin teased, "Well, I can see that it''s a huge boulder."


    Hearing Colin''s words, Abbot rolled his eyes at him, "Even in this kind of situation, you''re still making


    fun of me? Are we still my friend or not?"


    Colin patted Abbot''s shoulder and said, "Get dressed. I''ll get you out of here."


    Abbot raised his eyebrow skeptically and asked, "Really?"


    Colin responded, "In this kind of situation, do you think I''d still be joking with you?"


    Frankly speaking, Abbot didn''t trust Colin.


    Years of experience had taught them to expect the worst from each other in minor matters.


    They were used to throwing each other under the bus just to see the show.


    But with the given situation, Abbot could only give it a try.


    Even he was skeptical about its effectiveness, things couldn''t get any worse than they were now.


    After Colin finished speaking, Abbot weighed the pros and cons, then hopped off the bed and quickly


    changed his clothes. He neatly folded Reba''s father''s sleepwear and ced it on the bedside table,


    then turned to Colin and said, "Let''s go."


    Colin''s lips curled into a smile and said, "Let''s make a deal. Once we''re downstairs, no matter what I


    say, you can''t argue about it."


    A sense of foreboding washed over Abbot. He asked, "Are you nning something sneaky?"


    Colin chuckled, "We''ve been best friends for so many years, and you still don''t trust me?"


    Abbot snorted, "We''ve been best friends for so many years, and are we still doing this?"


    Colin asked, "Are youing or not?"


    Abbot clenched his teeth with determination, "Let''s go."


    Colin scoffed, "If you''reing, then stop wasting time."
