Not One, But Two!

Chapter 27

Abigail couldn't figure out why Greg looked horrified, though he was already leaving with Alissa, then she heard sounds of footsteps coming from behind.

"I think I saw him here."

"Hey, there are a lot of people who gave him clues about Abigail. Do you think he'll grant everyone's wishes?"

The people were whispering, but Abigail heard them loud and clear. The bounty? She suddenly thought of the bounty. No wonder he came right to me. And I thought Alissa helped him. So it's just him in the end.

Abigail didn't want anyone to look at her, so she quickly went after Greg, though she was starting to get angry.

She went to the nearest Swanson Hut, and since Greg was a special person, he had his own room in the restaurant. When the manager saw Abigail, he quickly led her to where Greg was.

When she came in, she saw him playing with Alissa, and the happy scene triggered her again. I raised that child, but he gets to be her Dad? Why? "Alissa, go out. I need to talk to him."

She wasn't loud, but the air froze. Alissa wasn't stupid. She knew her mother was angry, so she smirked at Greg. "I'll get some ice cream, Daddy."

"I'll get Troy to go with you because it's safer. There are a lot of people here."

"Don't worry. She'll be fine. It's those 'bad guys' you're supposed to be worried about."

Alissa felt slightly insulted. That's Mommy for you.

Greg disagreed, "She's just a child. Do you have any idea how bad things are lately? There are a lot of human traffickers out there. If—"

"I'm fine, Daddy." Alissa felt even more insulted. If there were human traffickers who tried to kidnap her, she would make them regret the day they were born. However, she didn't want to ruin her good girl image Greg had of her, so she went out quickly.

When there was only Greg and Abigail left, she locked the door.

"So, going to stay around from now on?" With Alissa out of the way, Greg unbuttoned the top part of his shirt and put his legs on the chair. He looked languid yet sexy at the same time.

Abigail's heart skipped a beat. She had to say that Greg was hot, but he annoyed her. "Take the bounty down right now!" Abigail was annoyed when she recalled how everyone was looking at her like she was some sort of merchandise.

Greg said dismissively, "You stole my stuff, and you still haven't given it back yet. I can't take the bounty down without my stuff returned."

"What did I steal anyway?"

"My seed."

Abigail shut up.

"Why? Cat got your tongue? If you didn't steal my seed, then where did Alissa come from? Need I remind you what you did to me five years ago?"

Abigail's face turned pink. "You don't even have the DNA test result, and you say she's your daughter? That's just being overconfident."

"No. It's just regular confidence. I was born with it. Give Alissa to me, and I'll take the bounty down. Deal?"

"Dream on!" Abigail refused. He wants to take custody? How dare he? Alissa's my world. Touch her, and I will cut your dick off!

The look in Abigail's eyes made Greg pause. "Oh, someone's bristling. Well, let's move on to Plan B then."

"Talk."

Oh, she's gnashing her teeth. Greg had no doubt that she would tear him apart, but he still said, "We can give her a complete family. You're annoying, but for Alissa's sake, I can marry you."

"Dream on!" Abigail thought she must be mad. I must be hearing things. Marry him? I'm not stupid.

Greg was insulted by the look of disgust on her face. "What? Think you're too good for me?"

"Well, yeah. I can raise my kid well enough by myself. Why should I get a man in my life if all he does is make things hard?"

That reply angered Greg, and his face fell. "I'm making things hard for you? You scratched my car, took my seed, and now you have the gall to say I make things hard?" NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

"Stop shouting. Just because you're loud doesn't mean you're right. What? You wanna fight me? Come at me, bro. The one who backs off is a scaredy cat." Abigail wasn't always like this, but for some reason, she would always get temperamental around Greg.

Well, I see where Alissa got her aggressive genes from. He said coldly, "I'm being nice here, so you'd better think before you speak. I'm only going to make this offer once, so think it through. Just because Alissa is around doesn't mean she's your get out of jail free card. You had better stop while you're ahead."

"Bull! If you want to get married, find a random girl and wed her! You're just angry that I slept with you five years ago and scratched your ego! I can pay you if you want! How much do you want?" Abigail was frustrated. She wanted to cut all ties with Greg. Alissa's mine. Nobody can take her away from me, not even Greg!

Greg was livid. Hey, money's my forte. How dare she use my own spells against me? He laughed mirthlessly. "You think you can afford me? Ignorant. I can call the cops, and they'll arrest you right away. On charges of rape."

"Fine. Sue me then." Abigail wasn't scared in the slightest. Sue me? You're just going to humiliate yourself.

Greg had never seen a woman being so unreasonable before. She's just a thug. "Why you…" His chest heaved. He didn't want to admit it, but she infuriated him.

Abigail grinned. "A reminder, Mr. Buckley. You need evidence to sue me. I never left anything that would incriminate me. Besides, do you think Alissa will believe you? She might like you, but I'm the one who gave birth to her, and I am the one who raised her. If we go to court, who do you think she'll choose? Me? Or you?"

"Are you threatening me?" Greg would not let this insolence slide. He stood up and pulled her closer to him.

They were only millimeters away, and Abigail could feel his breath on her face. She could even see the hairs on his face. Wow, he has nice skin. Her heart started to race. "What are you doing?"

She wanted to push him away, but he pinned her down. "You wanted to cut ties with me, right? You want to know how much I cost, don't you?"

"So you agree?" Abigail heaved a sigh of relief, but she was also slightly annoyed. You just gave me some seeds. I had to suffer all by myself. How dare you ask me for money? Are you even a man?

While she was immersed in her thoughts, Greg whispered mischievously, "If you want to cut ties with me, then you'll have to sleep with me like how you did five years ago, but this time, the roles are reversed!"

"You perv!" Abigail tried to slap him, but before she could hit him, he pinned her down on the table.

"Oh, so you want to do it right here? Someone's in the mood."

"Watch your tongue! Touch me and I'll kill you, Greg!"

Abigail trying her best to keep him from touching her struck a nerve. He wasn't really going to sleep with her, but he felt annoyed that she looked so disgusted by him. I'm popular here, you know? Why do you think I'm a beast?

Then, he recalled that she only slept with him all those years ago because she was under the influence of drugs, his face fell. "Who are you keeping your purity for? Jonathan?"

"It's none of your business!"

I can't stay with him any longer. He's dangerous. She raised her leg and tried to kick him in his crotch.

Greg took a step back, and she took the chance to get up and throw some cutlery at him. Her aim was true, for the moment Greg dodged her kick, he saw the cutlery flying at him, so he dodged them again.

Abigail quickly escaped the room. Greg was too powerful for her to take on alone. Better run in this case. She ran out of Swanson Hut and left in a taxi. Then, she texted Alissa, 'See you at the airport at eight tomorrow.' And then she turned her phone off.

She wasn't worried about Alissa. Even without Greg around, Alissa could still find her, as they had their own way of contacting each other. But Greg won't let her leave with me. And that was going to be a problem.

The surgery was a last minute job. It took a long time, and it was difficult. She was already exhausted, and with the matter regarding Greg added to her plate, Abigail knew she had to rest, for a while at least. As for Greg, she just wanted to ignore him. It'll all end after I leave Harrion tomorrow. She went to a hotel and got a room to sleep.

Alissa didn't know what her parents were talking about, and she wondered if she should tell Greg that she was leaving the next day. Mommy doesn't look like she's going to say anything, but I don't want to leave this place just like this. Suddenly, she came to a halt, and her eyes shone.
