His Sweet Little Mate novel (Abby and Micah) novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26
“What do you want to have for lunch later, my lady?” Reyna asked Abby as they strolled around the garden with yellow flowers Abby found pleasing the day before.
However, before Abby could answer her, they heard someone talking and when they turned around to see who it was, they saw Ruby walking toward them.
Abby immediately felt like escaping to the safety of her bedroom when she mentioned the plans they made yesterday.
“What appointment?” Abby asked, frowning a little.
“Oh come on. How could you be so forgetful? Didn’t I say I would take you to the town to meet my friends?” Ruby smiled effortlessly. “Remember now?” She asked, searching Abby’s face.
“You did…” Abby started, but Ruby cut her off mid sentence as she proceeded to hug Abby’s arm like the day before.
“Perfect, let’s go now,” Ruby chirped.
Only Abby didn’t give her a chance to molest her arm again as she stepped back a little. “But I didn’t agree to it,” Abby blurted out.
Ruby’s smile faltered a little when she felt the resistance from Abby. This was not how she expected this exchange to play out.
“But you didn’t reject me either,” Ruby tried to sound composed, only her eyes wouldn’t stop. narrowing in annoyance.
Abby didn’t know what to say to her comment. She didn’t get a chance to reject her then at all. “I’m saying that I don’t want to go with you now,” Abby couldn’t help but say in the face of her insistent persuading.
She didn’t want to go with this woman anywhere. Even Micah said it was fine for her not to go if she didn’t want to. That was why Abby could assert her stance a little and reject her readily.
“Oh come on, I have already informed them that I would bring you to meet them today,” Ruby didn’t back down as she came up with all kinds of excuses. “If you don’t follow me to the town, they will all think I’m lying to them.”
Abby wanted to say that it was her problem to deal with, but she refrained herself when she remembered it was Micah’s childhood friend she was talking with. Even though the King hadn’t acted close with her the day before, he didn’t deny that they knew each other for years either.
Moreover, she couldn’t possibly embarrass Ruby by being so defensive with her when the woman had been nothing but polite toward her.
“But… Abby almost started squirming with discomfort, not knowing how to refuse this woman’s goodwill.
Seeing that Abby was being pressured indirectly until she started to struggle to find the words to

“Miss Ruby, Lady Abby has places to go.” Alyssa made up a random excuse as she couldn’t see Abby struggle.
“Yes, miss, Lady Abby…” Reyna started, wanting to back up Alyssa’s claims.
However, Ruby was having none of it. She came here with a purpose, she was going to see to the end of it.
“I’m talking to my new friend and your master,” Ruby narrowed her eyes at the two women who came to their master’s rescue, effectively shutting them both up by making them remember their status. “Know your place and keep your behavior in check.””
On the other hand, Ruby’s words sounded very rude in Abby’s ears. She wanted to defend them when Ruby beat her to it.
“You really don’t have to make a scene out of this. Now, even your se rvants are trying to dismiss me,” Ruby sounded offended, as she changed her tactics.
“They just wanted to help me. Don’t misunderstand their interference.” Abby frowned as she couldn’t think of a way to get out of this mess.
“I don’t have to misunderstand anyone if you didn’t change your mind about going out with me,” Ruby said.
“I didn’t change my mind…” Abby tried to defend herself but was cut off by Ruby again.
“So you don’t have a problem with going out with me?” Ruby looked so excited yet commanding at the same time, Abby didn’t know how to respond to her at all.
“This…” Abby could’t refuse her at last.
Ruby smiled happily when she saw the defeated look on Abby’s face. “Don’t worry, it’s going to be fun. Just trust me on this,” Ruby reassured her as she grabbed Abby’s hand to pull her with her.
Abby could only follow her silently after exchanging a helpless look with her maids.
“Why are you both coming?” Ruby suddenly stopped and turned around to face Alyssa and Reyna.
“We are following Lady Abby,” Alyssa said, frowning.
“Just one is enough,” Ruby said, pinning Abby with a look.
“Why can’t they both follow?” Abby asked Ruby.
“It’s nothing serious actually. Everyone else will only bring one maid with them,” Ruby said in a dismissive tone.
“Is that so?” Abby felt this so-called meeting new friends was so complicated with all kinds of weird. rules and immediately regretted agreeing to go with Ruby.
This started to sound like a recipe for disaster. But, she couldn’t back away anymore.

Chapter 26
In the end, she chose Reyna to go with her. “Alyssa, go back and rest.”
Reyna and Alyssa, who almost prepared to have an altercation with Ruby for stopping themselves from following Abby, could only heed their master’s order. They felt Ruby was being uncharacteristically excited.
With that being said, Ruby pulled Abby with her while her own maid and Reyna followed them closely.
Alyssa exchanged a look with Reyna as she bade goodbye to Abby.
[This whole thing seems fishy, I’ll go and report this to the King.] She mindlinked Reyna as she turned around to leave the garden.
However, the moment she couldn’t see Abby and Reyna anymore, she found herself being stopped by Ruby’s maids.
“Not so fast,” a girl said as she blocked her path while the others backed her up.
“What is the meaning of this?” Alyssa almost screamed in their faces.
