Abigail was a little confused as she looked at Irene. She asked softly, "Do you know me?"
"You're Alana. Everyone in the design industry knows you. I am your fan. Because of you, I decided to study design!" Irene was so happy that she almost jumped up. She quickly stepped aside and couldn't contain her smile. "Come in quickly!"
Abigail was a bit curious.
Wasn't she angry about her relationship with Sean?
Abigail walked into the yard.
This house was not as big as the previous Graham Estate, and it was in the city center. She wondered if Old Mr. Graham and Old Mrs. Graham could get used to living here and if they would be disturbed at night.
As she thought about this, she had already reached the door with Irene.
The servant at the door saw Abigail and quickly brought her a pair of slippers.
She didn't recognize Abigail as she didn't spend much time online.
Abigail changed into the slippers and followed Irene inside.
Lina was about to ask who it was when she turned her head and saw Abigail. She was stunned.
If it were before, she would have scolded Abigail harshly, but she looked so haggard now, with a lot on her mind.
Colby stood up from the couch and looked her over.
Abigail felt a bit awkward and stopped in her tracks. She called out softly, "Grandfather, Grandmother."
"Where have you been for the past six months?" Colby couldn't help but ask, stepping forward to hold her hands tightly and scrutinize her. "How did you end up like this?"
Even Lina could see that something was wrong. How could Colby not notice?
After all, he had also experienced the ups and downs of the business world and knew that Abigail must have had a worse time in the past six months than they did.
Moreover, Analise was gone as soon as she came back.
She had suffered too much.
Abigail couldn't help but lean on Colby's chest, gently sobbing. "I'm fine. I miss you all, too. I really wanted to come back, but I was really helpless at that time, and I have caused trouble for Sean."
Lina stepped forward, holding her hand, and said, "Why didn't you come back sooner?"
Abigail thought they would severely reprimand her and maybe even be kicked out, but she didn't expect that they would still accept her.
"There's a lot going on at home, and I'm afraid you will blame me." Abigail choked out.
Colby patted her back. In his heart, Abigail was just a child.
"Why would we blame you?" Colby said, hearing that Analise was gone as soon as she came back. He felt sorry for Abigail. She didn't want to go back no matter what the Pearsons said.
It was just that she was sentimental.
With Analise gone, she really had no close family to rely on.
Abigail cried even harder. "I've always been afraid that you wouldn't want me anymore."
