Chapter 456 Explanation
Abbot was speaking with a serious expression.
Colin rolled his eyes at him, but the anger in his eyes instantly dissipated. He narrowed his petty eyes with a smile and knowingly asked, "What thing?"
Abbot said unnaturally, "Sex."
Colin teased, "That depends on who the woman is."
Hearing his words, Abbot thought for a while and said, "What if it's Faye?"
Colin said, "That is what I long for. "
Abbot was speechless. He kept silent for a while, then gave Colin a disdainful look, and said, "I forget it you're a simp."
Colin snorted, "A simp is better than a leftover man."
Then, he added sharply, "And you're indeed too old to be single."
Abbot was used to his criticism, so he just rolled his eyes at him. Then, he sat on the sofa, reached out to pick up the cigarette case from the coffee table, knocked out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth. Before he lit it, he looked up at Colin and asked, "Who takes the initiative? You or Faye?"
Colin said, "You guess?"
Abbot replied, "How can I guess such things?"
Colin laughed in a deep voice and said, "Generally speaking, men will take the initiative as long as he is not impotent."
Hearing this, Abbot lit the cigarette in his hand, took a deep puff, and said awkwardly, "You and Faye are married, so it's normal for you to have sex."
Colin sat down on the sofa, leaned back slightly, and teased, "How about you also marry her before dating her?"
Abbot shook his head and said solemnly, "We're different."
Colin joked, "Abbot, you are a man. Why are you so bashful?"
Abbot bit the cigarette and said, "Because I am a responsible man."
Colin said, "Okay, then you can slowly think about it and weigh up the pros and cons. Anyway, you are still young. You can wait ten years until you get Jadon's current age. No hurry."
Abbot raised his eyes and asked, "Are you speaking a human language?"
Colin retorted, "Are you doing with a human thing?"
Abbot said, "I don't understand why Faye fell in love with you."
Colin raised his eyebrows lightly and smiled wantonly, "This is love."
Abbot sneered, "Hah."
When Colin had come, Abbo had thought of him as a life-saving straw, but when he left, Abbot wished he could kick his ass.
Watching him leave, Abbot turned around and walked to the coffee table. Then, he bent over to pick up his phone, opened Instagram, and sent a friend request to Rebecca. He had unfriended her on Instagram after the farce during the business trip, so they had contacted each other by calling for a while.
After sending the friend request, he could not help feeling a little nervous. But his nervousness didn't last long because Rebecca soon friended him. When she received his friend request, she had drunk half a bottle of red wine and was in a good mood.
Rebecca was afraid that Abbot couldn't understand her meaning, so she didn't dare to beat around the corner or use a euphemistic way of speaking but said directly, "I am not in love with you. I haven't had that kind of feelings for you since the beginning."
Abbot was startled and asked, "Pardon?"
Rebecca took a deep breath and repeated, " I am not in love with you."
Abbot was stunned.
She pursed her lips and decided to hay while the sun shone. So, she said, "Although I have already apologized to you for what happened before, I want to say 'sorry' to you again."
Abbot was speechless.
Rebecca had said it very bluntly. No matter how imaginative Abbot was, he did not think she liked him anymore.
He didn't reply, so she believed he had understood what she meant. Then, she said cautiously, "Mr. Carter, after getting along with you for a while, I found you are a very good person. And I am very willing to be friends with you... ..."
Rebecca kept talking because she wanted to try her best to smooth things over and make both of them less embarrassed. As she was speaking, Abbot interrupted in a deep voice, "I see."
Rebecca swallowed hard and ventured, "Mr. Carter?"
Abbot said in an emotionless tone, "It's getting late. Good night."
She asked, "Aren't we still friends?"
He gritted his teeth and answered, "Yes, we're good friends!"
