Chapter 333: Prevent Him From Loving Another Woman

Todd looked at Abbey, who was less than two meters away from him. He was somewhat anxious. In the end, he walked to her silently.

He stood in front of Abbey. He was tall and sturdy. But at that moment, he was like a child who felt sorry for the wrong thing he did. He lowered his head slightly, not daring to look into her eyes. His voice was a little hoarse.

"Sorry."

This was something that should have been said back then.

But at that time, he was in a state of panic and self-blame. He drank at the bar all day. Even when she was sent abroad, he did not dare to see her off.

Abbey quietly looked at Todd, who had grown into a mature man. He was no longer the little boy who had followed her and called her 'sister'.

"You feel sorry? Well, why didn't you watch Phillip for me for the past few years? Why didn't you prevent him from falling in love with another woman?"

Todd looked up at her.

There was the sound of a slap.

The slap was loud. Abbey withdrew her hand and looked at Todd, whose head was tilted to the side. There was no joy or anger on his face.

"Take this slap as your apology. You are my brother. I won't blame you. You left the Quelch family for so many years. I know it isn't easy for you. So now, you don't have to feel guilty."

Todd clenched his fists and did not say anything.

"But I will fight for what I want!" When Abbey said this, her tone was like that she used when she was negotiating with someone for business.

She was confident and calm. No matter what price she would pay, she had to get what she wanted!

Todd's eyes trembled. Abbey was actually only two years older than him. But because her parents died when she was young, she had been living in his house. His parents were busy with work every day. So when he was a child, it was actually Abbey who took care of him.

He had always known that Abbey liked Phillip. He had even felt that it was good for his best friend to be with his sister.

But Phillip had fallen in love with another woman deeply. Todd had no way out.

Moreover, Phillip and Ann struggled so much along the way to be with each other. They already had children...

He tried to persuade her. "Phillip has found the woman he likes."

Abbey's steps stopped. "I know, but he owes me a lot!"

Todd thought of what happened back then and felt his throat go dry. Blue veins popped out on his forehead, but he could no longer say anything.

Back then, if he had listened to Phillip and did not insist on going inside to fight with those people, leaving Abbey to negotiate with the bandits outside, she would not have been humiliated and hurt by those bastards. Phillip wouldn't have fallen into the dilemma either.

Todd stood at the door for a long time before entering. When he went upstairs, he did not immediately go to the room but went to the bathroom.

In the mirror, there was a clear print on the left side of the man's face. It was slightly red and swollen. It was clear that the beater had used a lot of strength.

He pursed his lips and smiled bitterly.

What Abbey meant was to use this slap to offset the mistake he had made that year.

However, it was not that easy. She obviously had not let go of what happened back then. There was still resentment in her heart. He had no reason to live a peaceful life with no qualms.

He washed his face with cold water, adjusted his mood, and then turned to the private room.

Just as he was about to open the door to the private room, he saw Daisy and Matt walking over side by side.

His movements were a little stiff, and he subconsciously turned his face away, leaving only half of his uninjured side profile to face them.

"What are you doing here?"

"We come to welcome Abbey." Matt took the initiative to reply.

"I didn't ask you!" Todd's mouth twitched.

Matt got it. He took a look at Daisy.

Then he said slowly, "Aydan said that I can bring my family."

Todd furrowed his brows, turned his head slightly to look at Daisy, and said in a heavy tone, "So you came?"

Daisy met his gaze, which seemed to be a little gloomy and dissatisfied. She felt a little guilty and uncomfortable for some reason, and slightly avoided his gaze.

"We'll be a family one day. Sooner or later, we'll get to know each other."

A family!

With Matt?

Todd clenched his fists!

He let go of the door handle and pulled Daisy out.

He thought this woman was really going to anger him to death!

Matt stood where he was and looked at his fiancée, who was taken away by Todd. He hesitated for three seconds about whether he was supposed to go after her.

At this time, her stomach suddenly let out a cry.

He remembered that he had not had time to eat since he worked last night until now.

He calmly withdrew his gaze and opened the door to the private room, deciding not to go after her.

Inside, Aydan was holding a microphone and wailing. Ann was pleasantly surprised that Todd's cousin was Abbey. He pulled her to the sofa and chatted happily.

"Phillip said that this is a welcome banquet for Todd's cousin. He said that you helped him a lot. On the way here, I was wondering what kind of person you would be. I didn't expect it to be you!"

Abbey looked in the direction of Phillip, a little confused.

"Did he tell you what I helped him?"

Ann was still immersed in the excitement of "what a small world". She blinked and shook her head.

"But you are so kind-hearted that you would like to help me even if you didn't know me. You must have helped Phillip a lot..."

Ann remembered the scattered information she had seen before and knew that in the five years of separation, Phillip had actually lived a very bitter life before accepting the Moore Group.

"Abbey, can I call you that too? I am very grateful that you can help Phillip. In fact, I have always regretted that I could not accompany him when he was at his most difficult time."

She didn't know if it was luck or misfortune. The two of them missed each other's most painful five years.

Abbey saw the sincere gratitude in Ann's eyes, as well as the undisguised heartache for Phillip in the past.

In place of Phillip, she showed gratitude. She felt sorry for his past. Only the woman who truly entered the heart of Phillip had the qualification to do that.

She gulped down the wine in her glass and smiled at Ann.

"I'm a businesswoman. I didn't help him for free. I'll ask him to repay me. You don't have to thank me for him."

Ann did not get the other meaning in her words. She thought of something and took out an exquisite small box from her handbag. Inside was the perfume that Abbey had custom-made.

"Abbey, this is your custom-made perfume. Have a try to see if you like it or not. You can also give me some advice."

...

Ann and Abbey were chatting casually. Phillip sat at the side, but his eyes were deep. His body unconsciously tightened.

Joey handed him a glass of wine and glanced at Ann and Abbey not far away.

"You haven't told your wife about Abbey yet?"

Phillip took the wine but did not drink it.

Although he had heard Ann's phone call in the car and guessed that the person Ann had mentioned to help her was Abbey, he still felt a little depressed after confirming it.
