Chapter 209: Chapter 209: My Poor Abigail
Abigail, who did not know she had become the biggest scandal in Brandon Piers’s life, was very busy.
Teddy was almost three months old. He was not as clingy as before, but still difficult to soothe.
Fortunately, Kelly was experienced. The servants of Piers were also very attentive, giving Abigail a lot more free time.
In her spare time, she helped Aunt Claudia move to a new home.
Without the hard labor and confinement of the Green household, Aunt Claudia’s complexion had improved significantly.
Having worked hard all her life, she finally got to rest in her later years. Looking at the small but exquisitely decorated house, her eyes filled with tears.
“How can I accept this house…” Aunt Claudia stood hesitantly at the apartment door.
Abigail took Aunt Claudia’s hand and led her inside, “Who said it’s for you? I definitely won’t go back to the Green household in the future. This apartment is my personal asset. When I’m not here, you can look after it for me. When I am here, you can cook and clean for me.”
“No buts. Don’t want to take care of me?” Abigail interrupted Aunt Claudia seriously.
“But the property ownership…” Aunt Claudia knew that the house was in her name, yet she still felt uneasy.
Abigail didn’t care, “Only because it’s in your name can I be at ease. If it’s in my name, those two might stir up something.”
From the original memories, Abigail knew that Aunt Claudia was an orphan raised by the Swift household. Mrs. Swift had planned to arrange a marriage for her, but she passed away before she could, leaving Abigail, who was less than a year old.
Aunt Claudia never married in her life to take care of the orphaned girl.
Abigail could tell from the original memories that she felt very guilty towards Aunt Claudia.
After reincarnating into the Green household, the only warmth and love Abigail felt came from Aunt Claudia. Taking care of Aunt Claudia in her old age was fulfilling one of the original owner’s wishes and leaving a backup plan for herself.
Hearing about the Taylor mother and daughter, Aunt Claudia’s eyes dimmed, “Abigail, if we sue Jackson Taylor, they will certainly not let you go. Or should we withdraw…”
“No. The enmity between the Taylor mother and daughter and me is already deep. Whether you sue or not will not change our hatred. By letting Jackson Taylor go, you would be giving them a tool to use against us.” Abigail answered decisively.
Aunt Claudia understood this, but she was worried that Lincoln Green would threaten Abigail, “But your father might get angry.”
In the past, when Aunt Claudia protected Abigail, Lincoln Green’s intervention would immediately make Abigail obediently admit her mistake. This was the reason for Aunt Claudia’s previous worries and sadness.
She feared that Abigail would still be like that.
In the end, all her efforts would be in vain.
“Why should I care if he’s angry?” Abigail was extremely annoyed by Lincoln, who couldn’t tell right from wrong, and was easily swayed by Rose and her daughter.
She had already given up hope in him.
Aunt Claudia was slightly stunned, seriously looking at Abigail, realizing she really didn’t care about Lincoln.
She couldn’t help but hold Abigail’s hand, “My poor Abigail.”
After taking care of Abigail for so many years, Aunt Claudia always knew Abigail was a sensible and good child. Previously, she was bullied not just because she was weak but because of her longing for fatherly love.
The poor girl kept retreating for love, enduring the Taylor mother and daughter in front of Lincoln, but never got a word of praise or defense from her father.
Instead, Rose and her daughter bullied Abigail more recklessly.
Fortunately, Abigail had finally grown up. Aunt Claudia’s eyes were moist, feeling both gratified and heartbroken.
Abigail, moved by Aunt Claudia’s emotions, gently hugged her, “Aunt Claudia, from now on, you are my family. You are my strongest support. Okay?”
Aunt Claudia choked up as she replied.
