After divorce I am a billionaire novel Chapter 448

She said this explicitly to Jamie, but in reality she was telling Micah that she was not willing to engage with him.

Micah's face changed slightly.

Jamie was a person who could read people's minds, and said immediately, "Abigail, engagement is not the same as marriage. After the engagement, you can first fall in love. When you want to get married, you can get the license."

"But I don't want to be in a relationship."

She sounded resolute, "For more than a year, there have been too many bad things. I'm really not in the mood. I just want to work now and be the successor of the Matthews Group."

She turned her head to go upstairs and left the living room without looking back.

With the bedroom door closed with the sound of bang from upstairs, the living room once again fell into dead silence.

Jamie and Katelyn looked at Micah after looking at each other.

Micah's eyes looked downcast. Seemingly, he was in contemplation. No one was able to see his emotion.

Katelyn cautiously and tentatively asked, "Mr. Micah, do you like Abigail?"

"Yes." Micah's tone was light, "But what I did before hurt her. She didn't accept it, and I understand."

Katelyn: "Abigail has been spoiled by us since childhood. She's very stubborn. If you really like her and want to be with her, I can help you to persuade her."

Micah thought about it and felt embarrassed to be too much trouble, "This is between her and me. If you persuade her, I'm afraid it will make her resent more. If she is not willing to get engaged, I can wait."

"She waited for me for a year before, and I can wait for her for a year this time."

With his words, Katelyn and Jamie were relieved at the same time.

Katelyn: "Mr. Micah, don't worry. I won't persuade her, but I can help you create opportunities to spend time with her."

Micah looked up to her.

This time, there was no refusal.

A few hours later, Katelyn knocked on Abigail's door.

"Baby, it's time for dinner. Hurry up. They're all waiting for you."

"Got it."

Abigail sat in front of the computer, finished the last sentence of the project, rubbed her sore shoulder, and got up to go downstairs.

She didn't even notice the difference until she walked to the dining room.

Micah was the only one sitting by the long table.

Katelyn and Jamie were nowhere to be seen, and on the dining table, there were candles.

Was this obviously intentional to create an opportunity for her and Micah to have a candlelight dinner?

Her mom and dad were too idle.

She shook her head helplessly and turned decisively to leave.

Glancing at her to leave, Micah immediately got up and clutched her wrist in time.

"Abigail, you should notice the good intentions of your parents. Can we talk?"

Abigail's face was expressionless, "We have nothing to talk about."

She tried to leave, but her wrist was clutched tightly by Micah.

Micah looked at his hand which was holding her wrist, and smiled, "Last time you came to Suham's hospital to look for me and tell me about the separation. I can see you were sad and I wanted to reach out to comfort you, but I couldn't reach out until the end. This time, I'm glad that I didn't let go of your hand."

Abigail sighed, "Is there any point talking about this now?"

Micah sat properly, made her look at himself, and said seriously, "Gavin Weaver is not a good man. I helped you to withdraw from the engagement you don't want to have. Now you are free to choose. is it good?"

The mention of it made her angry, "Micah, you deliberately let the police bring him to my house and listened to Gavin's sarcastic remarks about me. Are you making fun of me? To show me that I'm not worthy of any man but you? Micah, I'm too cheap to be the Matthews family's daughter, right?"

As she complained, her tears fell from her eyes.

At work, in order not to be bullied, she had to let herself look like a strong woman. Over time, her nature gradually became strong as well.
