She wondered if she should ask Abbott if he used to date another woman before getting married.
It would be a bit abrupt, wouldn’t it?
However, if she wouldn’t ask him, how could she help Casimir ensure if Abbott was his biological father?
Amanda could tell how upset Casimir was.
“Uh... Abbott, when you were young, did you suffer any disappointment in love?”
Abbott stared at her and kept silent for a long time. He could tell that there was an implication in her question.
Otherwise, why would she suddenly ask something about his youth?
“Amanda, why suddenly do you become so interested in my matter?”
“Well...”
She coughed slightly. With a smile, she said, “Nah... I suffered disappointment in my marriage, so I want to ask you about your youth. I’m curious if you were hurt in love before.”
Abbott answered without any hesitation, “Before getting married, I wasn’t serious about my dates. After getting married, I changed.”
Amanda was speechless.
His words were reechoing in her ears.
She guessed that even if Casimir was truly his son, Abbott was fooling around with his mother, wasn’t he?
Suddenly, she felt that Casimir was so pitiful.
“Do you have any date that impressed you the most?” she asked gingerly.
She truly wanted to know it.
Abbott gazed at her, “Amanda, why do I feel you are asking me about my past?”
Amanda couldn’t utter a word.
“Hee hee... I’ve explained. I’m just curious to know if you’ve hurt in love also. Then I’ll feel mentally balanced.”
“Silly girl.” Abbott stood up, “It was normal to fool around when I was young. I was never serious before, so I didn’t suffer any disappointment in love. Besides, I’m too smart.”
Amanda choked up.
She felt extremely sorry for Casimir. What a pitiful boy!
His mother named him Casimir, which had a bad meaning in every aspect. His father didn’t know his existence at all and was fooling around with his mother.
Casimir was just way too unlucky.
Compared with him, Amanda realized that she was so lucky.
Except that she was so blind to fall in love with Stanford, she had never experienced bad things in her life.
“I’ll send a copy of this video clip to Stanford James.” Abbott plugged out the USB drive from the laptop.
Amanda didn’t have any objection. She thought it was a good idea.
Stanford must know something.
Besides...
“Abbott, I want to rely on myself to take the revenge on Stanford James.” Amanda still wanted to rely on herself and make Stanford pay back what he owed her.
“Amanda...”
“Abbott, I’m a grownup now. I’m no longer a three-year-old kid. In the beginning, I made the decision myself, so I must bear the consequences as well. If I always rely on you all, what if you get old one day? In the end, I still need to rely on myself.”
Abbott thought for a while and said, “I need to think about it first.”
Amanda didn’t insist on getting an answer right now. She stood up and said, “Okay. Abbott, good night.”
Abbott said OK. He stood up and said, “Let me send you back.”
“My room is quite close. No, thanks,” said Amanda while walking. Abbott said at the door, “Okay. If you need any help, feel free to call me.”
“Sure.”
However, Amanda still asked hesitantly, “By the way, Abbott, if any of your dates that you fooled around with gave birth to your child, would you recognize the child?”
Abbott was speechless.
He was confused.
“Silly girl, you are so weird. Tell me. What have you known?” Otherwise, why would she insist on asking him about his former dates?
A child?
In the past, he only had the collecting on delivery deals with those women. There should be no such a possibility.
“What can I know? I’m even bothered by my own businesses.” Amanda waved her hand at him, “Okay. I’m taking off now.”
She walked towards the elevator.
She pressed the button to go down. Abbott didn’t close his door while standing at the door, looking at her. She waved at him, “Bye, Abbott.”
Abbott hummed. The door of the elevator closed. Amanda couldn’t remain smiling at all.
She couldn’t believe that Abbott was a playboy when he was young.
Fooling around?
In Amanda’s opinion, that was an excuse for scumbags for being dandies.
