Colin spoke earnestly, and a smile tugged at the corner of Faye's lips.
At the same time, in the Blacks' villa.
Abbot was leaning against the headboard, holding a bowl of plain 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 Rebecca by the bedside, "Could you please stop laughing?"
Rebecca couldn't control her laughter 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..."
Rebecca's laughter was infectious, and Abbot felt so embarrassed.
As Rebecca's laughter finally subsided, Abbot's already morose expression grew even darker.
A few minutes later, the nanny knocked on the bedroom door from outside and said, "Becca, Faye is
here."
Rebecca got up from the floor. She was still struggling to contain her laughter and answered, "Alright.
Hahaha... I'm coming. Hahaha..."
Rebecca chuckled as she walked out of the room, she managed to control her laughter only when she
was walking down the stairs.
In the living room, it had been a while since Rebecca's mother had seen Faye. She held Faye's hand
and bombarded her with questions.
Faye answered each one, and then Rebecca's mother glanced at Colin and whispered, "This young
man looks pretty good."
Faye nodded, "Yes."
After Faye finished answering, Rebecca's mother was about to ask further questions. Then, Rebecca Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
came down from the second floor and gave Faye a big hug.
Rebecca's mother stood up and headed to the kitchen.
Seeing that Rebecca's mother left, Colin stood up and spoke, "I'll go check on Abbot."
Rebecca'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 Rebecca barely contained her laughter, Faye asked, "What's so funny?"
Rebecca leaned closer to Faye and whispered, "Did Abbot call you to come here?"
Faye nodded.
Rebecca's shoulders shook with laughter at the revelation.
Seeing her reaction, Faye couldn't help but laugh as well. She asked, "What happened exactly? Was it
just because your dad and he were in the same room last night?"
Rebecca shook her head, her amusement growing even stronger. She replied, "No."
Faye's curiosity was piqued. She asked further, "Then what happened?"
Rebecca 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 even complained that my dad's head was poking his mouth..."
It wasn't sure whether it was Rebecca's vivid description or Faye's vivid imagination.
As Rebecca finished narrating, the two of them burst into laughter, sitting side by side on the couch.
Rebecca's mother returned with some fruit and saw the two of them on the couch, giggling
uncontrollably.
After she put the fruit down, she joined in the laughter, playfully 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 Rebecca exchanged a glance, stifling their laughter and sitting properly.
"Faye, your favorite oranges." Rebecca's mother passed the neatly cut fruit forward, her eyes filled with
affection as she looked at Faye.
Rebecca'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 Rebecca called her mother
for help.
At first, Rebecca's mother thought Faye was one of those troublesome and unruly kids who always
picked up fights. She initially refused to help, but under Rebecca's persistent persuasion, she
eventually went to the school.
The person Faye fought with was a boy from a relatively well-off family. He had originally tried to
pursue Faye, but after several unsuccessful attempts, he started spreading rumors that Faye wasn't a
good girl. He claimed 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 Rebecca's mother who helped the disciplinary officer out of the situation.
Both the boy's mother and Rebecca's mother were quite stubborn.
Upon learning the whole story, Rebecca'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 Rebecca's mother restrained her
and even gave her a resounding slap.
Rebecca's mother's slap not only left the boy's mother dumbfounded, but also left Faye in a state of
shock.
When Rebecca's mother led Faye out of the disciplinary officer's office, Faye was still in a daze.
When they were inside the car, Rebecca's mother laughed and playfully 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 Rebecca to call me, and I'll have your back."
Faye wasn't particularly 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 and laugh 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
Rebecca yet. He made a fool of himself in front of Rebecca's father, and he had no idea what
Rebecca's father thought of him.
Would Rebecca'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 Blacks' villa, Abbot's expression grew even more sour.
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 explained 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 Rebecca's father's sleepwear and placed 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 planning 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 you coming or not?"
Abbot clenched his teeth with determination, "Let's go."
Colin scoffed, "If you're coming, then stop wasting time."
