Chapter 331 Don’t Force Her
Why provoke Abigail when they could maintain their current peaceful coexistence?
“Josh, you saved her grandmother’s life. I’m asking you now-can you help fulfill Kelly’s wish?” Scarlett’s expression carried a hint of annoyance.
He also looked at her with a slightly disgruntled expression. “I can’t do that. Who Abigail decides to design for is her choice. We can’t morally pressure her into doing something.”
“I know that Abigail still holds a grudge against our family because of Vincent’s actions, but if you take Kelly to Pendorf and explain things to Abigail properly, it should be enough. You don’t know how much Kelly loves her designs. Moreover, this was just a misunderstanding, and if they could clear it up, they could become great friends,” she continued to persuade Josh.
His eyebrows tightly furrowed, and he did not immediately refute her. In reality, he would be happy if Abigail could get along with Kelly.
“Why don’t you call and ask her first? If she doesn’t want to, you can say so.” Her tone softened.
“Alright, I’ll call.” He finally gave in and decided to try asking her first. He thought that if his mother made an offer, it would likely be an attractive one that Abigail might accept.
With that in mind, Josh, feeling the pressure of his mother’s gaze, placed a call to Abigail. When the call was answered, he spoke gently, “Is it too late to call? Did I disturb you?”
“It’s okay,” she replied in her usual reserved tone.
“My mom has talked to you before, and it’s about Kelly wanting a dress for an event. She likes your designs-”
Before he could finish, she coldly interrupted him, Mr. Pearson, I don’t have the time. I’ll be busy working on the gowns and have no time to design. There are so many renowned designers in the country and abroad; I’m sure the Pearson Family can hire someone else. Why do you have to bother me?”
Josh had expected this would be the result, so he awkwardly touched his nose. However, before he could say anything, his phone
as taken away by his mother.
“It’s Josh and Kelly’s mother speaking. Ms. Quinn, the misunderstanding between Kelly and you is due to Josh’s uncle; Kelly is also a victim. If you mind, she’s willing to apologize to you. Our family is also willing to double your previous offer.” Scarlett genuinely wanted to fulfill Kelly’s wish.
Seeing Kelly look so disappointed tugged at her heart. She believed that the Pearson Family could get anything they wanted. Since they were just talking about a dress, she was sure that Abigail would agree, as long as they showed enough sincerity.
