Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife

Chapter 814: Chapter 814: Sorry for Letting You Grow Up Alone

Abigail had prepared herself to be treated as a scammer or a lunatic, but what she never expected was that Hayden Bell would not only refrain from questioning her but also speak to her in a gentle and soft voice, apologizing for letting her grow up so alone.

Having been through so much, Abigail considered herself to have a strong heart and a high threshold for tears, but against all odds, upon hearing Hayden’s words, her eyes instantly reddened, and tears uncontrollably began to roll down her cheeks in large drops.

Hayden was taken aback, but having no experience in comforting a girl, the tall and handsome man stood there, at a loss, “I’m sorry, did I say something wrong, I… please don’t cry…”

“I’m not crying…” Even as the tears continued to fall, she couldn’t help but retort. Abigail felt ashamed to cry in front of Hayden, especially as she was older than him in actual years. Though she appeared to be in her twenties, she was a little older than the present Hayden, and losing control of her emotions made her feel embarrassed.

Seeing the person in front of him cry into a tearful figure yet refusing to admit it was both heart-wrenching and amusing to Hayden. He took a clean handkerchief and carefully dabbed the tears from Abigail’s cheeks, going along with her assertion, “Right, you’re not crying.”

This comment made Abigail feel embarrassed, and as she took the handkerchief from Hayden’s hand, she awkwardly wiped her tears before asking in a hoarse voice, “Aren’t you afraid I might be a scammer?”

“Are you?” Hayden looked at her and asked, actually hoping that she would be a scammer.

Abigail thought to herself how this man was not playing by the rules, but still, her head couldn’t help but shake.

“Even if you are, I don’t have much to be scammed of.” Hayden laughed, and once he accepted that the girl in front of him was his daughter, his attitude towards Abigail underwent a significant change. Previously, he thought their resemblance was because she was from the Bell family, but now, knowing it was due to genetics, and that she had a talent for music, likely also inherited from him, but her gentler appearance must have come from Clara Smith.

Thinking of the girl from their last encounter, Hayden’s heart skipped a beat. He had thought their meeting was just a chance encounter, never expecting that it would lead to such deep ties, nor that she would suffer so much because of him.

His heart clenched, and he couldn’t help but extend his hand to ruffle Abigail’s hair, “You still haven’t told me, what did you do to Tommy? He is the type to hold grudges, and now that we’ve provoked him, I’m afraid we won’t be able to stay in Swallow City any longer.”

At this, Hayden thought about how Abigail had mentioned her previous life in M Kingdom, and it was probably not out of her own volition that she left but rather by force.

He knew himself well. He had no aspirations for Hollywood, being content simply creating the music he enjoyed and singing for those who liked to listen.

This was also a major reason for the disagreements with Tommy.
