Chapter 43
Abigail asked, “Huh? By who?”
The waiter smiled, “A gentleman in a mask.”
Abigail frowned, wondering. Isn’t this my treat?
Still puzzled, she sent a message to Sebastian, Just as it was delivered, the waiter came downstairs carrying the packed food.
Abigail took it, glanced at her phone, and saw there was no reply yet. She thought, ‘He pr
( probably hasn’t seen it yet”
Instead of going home, Abigail hailed a cab to the park near the office. The sky wasn’t completely dark, and the park was quiet. She walked to the usual spot where the cats gathered and softly called out.
The short–haired cat with the collar was the first to appear, leaping gracefully onto the stone table. Its amber eyes locked onto her steadily.
Abigail raised the takeout bag in her hand and said, “Kitten, it’s just you today? Where are the others? I brought a lot of good food for all of you”
Being a coastal city, Cobridge offered fresh seafood with a fight, clean flavor,
which was perfect for cats.
The short–haired cat didn’t respond, its demeanor still proud and aloot, as always.
Abigail didn’t ask any more questions. She squatted down and began placing the seafood on the table.
“Meow…
The sudden meow made Abigail turn instinctively. The short–haired cat jumped down and stood a few paces from her. Close up, she could clearly see something almost human–like in its amber gaze–curiosity.
*You recognize me, sweetie?” asked Abigail.
The cat replied with a meow.
Abigail’s question slipped out without thinking. She couldn’t shake the feeling that this cat remembered her,
She thought, it probably just remembers my scent from last time. Nothing strange about that!
Abigail said, “Come and eat. And once you’re done, don’t forget to call the others over.
It was getting late. With that, Abigail turned and left the park
By the time Abigail returned to Gibson Villa, it was already dark.
She had just stepped into the living room when a sharp voice rang out. “Stop right there. Why are you back so late?” It was Gabriel’s voice.
Abigail glanced over at him, her voice flat. “You want to talk or what?” Her tone made it obvious that she had no intention of explaining herself.
Gabriel’s face turned red with fury. “Is that how you talk to me? Where is your respect?”
Blanca’s face flushed with a mix of shame and anger, “Abby, Dani is your sister. She’s not a thief. The musid accidentally found the necklace while cleaning, and Dani bought it from her. Even if it was yours, couldn’t you just let her have it?”
