Chapter 135

Greg could sense Abigail's anxiety. Truth be told, he was also feeling a little worried. Taking his phoneout without further ado, he glanced at the screen and saw that it was indeed a phone call from Niene.Hence, he couldn't help feeling nervous.

He quickly turned on the speakerphone and casually held her hand. His palms were sweating slightly."Mrs. Broddes, is Aria having a fever?"

Looking at their joined hands, Abigail couldn't help feeling a little depressed. I'm only feeling nervous.There's no need to be so worried that your palms become sweaty, okay? This man sure is anxiouswhenever it comes to me or the children.

This sensation left her feeling both warm and touched. Lifting her head, she looked at his side profile.His facial features are as if they were carved by God. He really is an extremely handsome man.

He was oblivious to her gaze. All of his attention was completely focused on the phone call.

When Niene heard Greg's worried voice, she hurriedly explained. "No, no. Aria is doing fine. She is justa little tired. I simply wanted to ask when you'll be coming to pick the children up. It's getting late, and itgets colder here at night. The clothes the children brought with them are too thin. If you're coming topick the children up, please bring some thicker clothes. By the way, how is Dr. Kain?"

"She's fine. She's right beside me. We'll be there soon." While speaking, he glanced at Abigail and sawher staring at his face. Thus, he couldn't help feeling invigorated. "Did you just realize how handsome Iam, hmm?"

"You're alright." Having been caught staring, Abigail couldn't help feeling embarrassed. She shook offhis hand and went upstairs to get two coats for the children before coming downstairs again.

Afterward, the two of them drove to Niene's place.

Abigail was still feeling somewhat dizzy due to the effects of the drug. Therefore, she leaned back inher seat and closed her eyes to get some rest. Thinking that she was exhausted, Greg turned off themusic and turned up the heater. Then, he took off his jacket and covered her with it.

A familiar scent and a feeling of warmth enveloped her. She did not open her eyes, but the corners ofher mouth lifted slightly. If this is bliss, then I must be blissful right now.

There was no conversation inside the car, but the atmosphere was unusually warm and peaceful.

After a while, she unknowingly fell asleep. Her being so defenseless was a phenomenon that hadnever occurred before in the past. He did not disturb her either.

When the car arrived at Niene's house, Greg lightly turned off the engine and entered the house withthe children's coats.

"Mr. Buckley, you're here."

"Daddy!" Alissa was the first to run out. When she saw Greg but not Abigail, she anxiously asked,"Where's Mommy?"

"Shh. Mommy's tired. She fell asleep, so don't wake her up. I will bring you home."

"Okay." Upon learning that Abigail was exhausted, she did not dare to talk too loudly lest she disturbedAbigail's rest.

Arianna had regained consciousness. Her complexion was still a little pale, but she was much morespirited than before. As soon as she saw Greg, she looked embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, Daddy,for worrying you and Mommy."

"What are you talking about? You are our daughter. Our only wish is for you to be safe and happy. Let'sgo. I will bring you home." Greg carried Arianna and said his goodbyes to Niene.

With this, their trip finally came to an end.

Abigail was still sleeping when the two children got into the car. However, there was a trace of sweat onher forehead. Greg immediately took out a handkerchief and wiped off her sweat. The sight of hiscautious and loving actions left Alissa and Arianna staring in wide-eyed shock.

"Oh, my God! Is that really Daddy!? How gentle!" Alissa whispered softly.

Even though Arianna said nothing, the corners of her mouth lifted in response. Daddy is being reallynice to Mommy. Are they going to get married soon?

Nevertheless, the two children were very sensible. They did not say anything and simply sat quietly inthe backseat.

Nevertheless, the two children were very sensible. They did not say anything and simply sat quietly inthe backseat.

After Greg finished wiping off the sweat for Abigail, he finally started the car and drove toward the city.

Abigail slept very deeply. When she opened her eyes, she discovered that the car was still drivingalong the road. Thus, she couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Are we not there yet?"

"Nope. Sleep a little longer." He glanced at her lovingly and focused on driving. He was not going veryfast; the speed of his car was only around 50 or 60 miles per hour.

He had always liked to drive at high speeds and loved racing with a passion. But, for some inexplicablereason, he automatically lowered the speed of the car when he saw her sleeping so soundly. Not only

did he drive steadily at a speed of no more than 60 miles per hour, he also avoided all the potholes onthe road.

Looking at the way she yawned like a child with drowsy eyes that looked slightly dazed, he couldn'thelp thinking that she was absolutely adorable. At this moment, she had no trace of her usual arrogantappearance. He felt as though a feather was caressing his heart lightly; it was ticklish and tempted himto do naughtier things. Unfortunately, he had two high-voltage light bulbs sitting in the backseat, so hecould only fantasize in his head.

Just as Greg parked the car in front of the gates of a villa, Abigail finally woke up completely. "Whereare we?"

The children were also very curious and quickly pressed themselves against the window to look out.

This place could be considered a villa in the middle of the mountains. The scenery was gorgeous andthe air was fresh. Furthermore, there was a stretch of forest behind the villa that could be regarded as anatural oxygen provider.

Abigail opened the car door and got out of the car. Looking at this villa, she couldn't help thinking aboutArianna's weak constitution and asthma. There was no doubt that this environment was very suitablefor her.

She glanced at Greg. Despite how much she did for her children over the years, she was still no matchfor his careful consideration. It was not that she was not considerate. It was just that Marona did nothave many places like these with sound security.

"Thank you." Her gratitude was extremely sincere.

On the contrary, he laughed. "I did this for my daughter. What are you thanking me for?"

Alissa and Arianna climbed out of the car and immediately fell in love with this place at first glance. Itwas a peaceful and quiet place.

"Daddy, is this your villa?"

"It's yours from now on." Greg touched the heads of the two children. Then, he carried each child inone hand and said, "Come on. Let's go inside and have a look."

"Yay!" The children laughed happily.

Abigail felt as though something was quietly changing, but she was very happy with these changes.

Trailing after them, she walked into the villa and was stunned as soon as she opened the door. Theinterior decorations were almost identical to her home in Marona. He even prepared the air purificationequipment that was specially meant for Arianna in this place.

She did not believe that it was a coincidence. Therefore, she couldn't help recalling the time when hecame to her home and inquired about her taste in interior decoration. He even made a phone call afterquestioning her about the uses of the equipment. Was this man preparing for this since then?

The most surprised and delighted were none other than Alissa and Arianna.

"Wow! This place is almost identical to our home in Marona!" Alissa immediately leaped onto the sofaand flipped over to the other side. Oh, my God! Even the distance between the furniture is identical!

Nevertheless, the two children were very sensible. They did not soy onything ond simply sot quietly inthe bockseot.

After Greg finished wiping off the sweot for Abigoil, he finolly storted the cor ond drove toword the city.

Abigoil slept very deeply. When she opened her eyes, she discovered thot the cor wos still drivingolong the rood. Thus, she couldn't help but osk in confusion, "Are we not there yet?"

"Nope. Sleep o little longer." He glonced ot her lovingly ond focused on driving. He wos not going veryfost; the speed of his cor wos only oround 50 or 60 miles per hour.

He hod olwoys liked to drive ot high speeds ond loved rocing with o possion. But, for some inexplicoblereoson, he outomoticolly lowered the speed of the cor when he sow her sleeping so soundly. Not onlydid he drive steodily ot o speed of no more thon 60 miles per hour, he olso ovoided oll the potholes onthe rood.

Looking ot the woy she yowned like o child with drowsy eyes thot looked slightly dozed, he couldn'thelp thinking thot she wos obsolutely odoroble. At this moment, she hod no troce of her usuol orrogontoppeoronce. He felt os though o feother wos coressing his heort lightly; it wos ticklish ond tempted himto do noughtier things. Unfortunotely, he hod two high-voltoge light bulbs sitting in the bockseot, so hecould only fontosize in his heod.

Just os Greg porked the cor in front of the gotes of o villo, Abigoil finolly woke up completely. "Whereore we?"

The children were olso very curious ond quickly pressed themselves ogoinst the window to look out.

This ploce could be considered o villo in the middle of the mountoins. The scenery wos gorgeous ondthe oir wos fresh. Furthermore, there wos o stretch of forest behind the villo thot could be regorded os onoturol oxygen provider.

Abigoil opened the cor door ond got out of the cor. Looking ot this villo, she couldn't help thinking oboutArionno's weok constitution ond osthmo. There wos no doubt thot this environment wos very suitoblefor her.

She glonced ot Greg. Despite how much she did for her children over the yeors, she wos still no motchfor his coreful considerotion. It wos not thot she wos not considerote. It wos just thot Morono did nothove mony ploces like these with sound security.

"Thonk you." Her grotitude wos extremely sincere.

On the controry, he loughed. "I did this for my doughter. Whot ore you thonking me for?"

Alisso ond Arionno climbed out of the cor ond immediotely fell in love with this ploce ot first glonce. Itwos o peoceful ond quiet ploce.

"Doddy, is this your villo?"

"It's yours from now on." Greg touched the heods of the two children. Then, he corried eoch child inone hond ond soid, "Come on. Let's go inside ond hove o look."

"Yoy!" The children loughed hoppily.

Abigoil felt os though something wos quietly chonging, but she wos very hoppy with these chonges.

Troiling ofter them, she wolked into the villo ond wos stunned os soon os she opened the door. Theinterior decorotions were olmost identicol to her home in Morono. He even prepored the oir purificotionequipment thot wos speciolly meont for Arionno in this ploce.

She did not believe thot it wos o coincidence. Therefore, she couldn't help recolling the time when hecome to her home ond inquired obout her toste in interior decorotion. He even mode o phone coll ofterquestioning her obout the uses of the equipment. Wos this mon preporing for this since then?

The most surprised ond delighted were none other thon Alisso ond Arionno.

"Wow! This ploce is olmost identicol to our home in Morono!" Alisso immediotely leoped onto the sofoond flipped over to the other side. Oh, my God! Even the distonce between the furniture is identicol!

Arianna was not as excited as Alissa, but she was similarly overjoyed. Opening one of the cabinets bythe side based on the location in her memory, she saw a computer stored inside. She smiled so muchthat her eyes were like crescents. Turning to Greg, she spoke with a smile. "Thank you, Daddy."

"Good girl. Mrs. Nova will have your things brought here in a bit. From now on, you will be staying herewith Mrs. Nova. I will come and keep you company whenever I'm free."

Greg's words left the two children reeling in shock for a moment.

"What about Mommy!?"

"I'm going to treat a patient, so I will most likely be very busy. But, I will come and visit you whenever Ihave the time," Abigail explained gently.

The two children were long accustomed to these situations.

"Mommy, you promised that you would bring us out to play every weekend!" Alissa hurriedly said. Itcan't be helped if Mommy has no time to keep us company during the week. But, I must fight forsomething as important as the weekends!

Abigail nodded. "Of course. I did not forget the promise. Even if I forgot, Daddy won't."

"Okay."

Out of curiosity, the two children quickly began to verify whether anything in this place was differentfrom the original.

Alissa had always been a child with little patience, so she lost interest after exploring the place for a bit.She glanced outside before tugging at Abigail and Greg's hands in a playful manner. "Daddy, Mommy,it's so boring here. Can I go outside to play?"

"Go ahead. Don't go too far."

Greg was absolutely at ease with the security of this place. In addition, Alissa was a child withexceptional fighting skills. It was enough as long as they did not have to worry about her bullying othersinstead.

Abigail looked at the room in front of her and could not stop herself from looking around. When sheentered the bedroom, somebody suddenly followed her into the room, hugged her slim waist, andpressed her against the door.

"How is it? Does this place pass your inspection?"

Greg's warm breath brushed past her face. It was very ticklish.

A sudden idea came to her, and she abruptly stood on her tiptoes and put her arms around his neck.Her warm cherry lips kissed him out of nowhere.

Damn! This woman is more proactive than I am! That thought ran through his mind for a moment.Following that, he instantly changed from being passive to playing an active role instead. It didn't takelong before he took over the initiative.

The two of them were like dried branches blazing with the flames of passion. The temperature in theirsurroundings soared rapidly. His hand reached around and touched the clasp behind her back. Just ashe was about to unhook the clasp, they heard Arianna's voice coming from outside.

"Daddy, Mommy! Allie seems to have gotten in trouble again!"

They both froze in shock.

At this point, she had unbuttoned three of his shirt buttons, and his strong chest muscles exuded thetemptation of great strength and beauty. On the other hand, her clothes had been pushed below hershoulders, almost revealing the infinite scenery beneath.

At this juncture, Arianna's voice could be said to be a total killjoy. Most importantly, the sound of herlittle pitter-pattering footsteps against the floor trampled on the hearts of both Greg and Abigail.

"Sh*t!"

Greg and Abigail abruptly separated from each other and swiftly straightened their clothes.Nevertheless, the faint red tinge on their faces and the heat from their bodies did not fade away soquickly.

Abigail was depressed. Are these two children really my biological children!? Wait a minute! What didAria say? Allie seems to have gotten in trouble again? Again!?

She felt her head buzzing with pain. Can I stuff that child back into my womb and recreate her fromscratch?
