Chapter 768 As Long As You Don't Break Up with Me
As Abbot finished speaking, before Rebecca could react, he directly knocked his head onto the ground.
Rebecca was stunned and startled. She quickly stepped back.
Colin and his two companions who were seating in the car burst into laughter upon seeing that.
Colin exclaimed, "Wow!"
Ethan rubbed his forehead and said, "That is so embarrassing!"
Faye smiled as she remarked, "Abbot's apology seems quite sincere."
At that moment, Colin was recording a short video of Abbot, and he was laughing so hard that the camera on his phone was shaking along with him.
While the three were laughing, Rebecca's mother stepped out from the courtyard, holding an umbrella. She first gave Rebecca a stern look, then furrowed her brows as she went to help the kneeling Abbot.
"Mrs. Black, Becca hasn't forgiven me yet. Could you let me kneel for a while longer?"
"It isn't nice for a man to kneel. If you have something to say, say it inside the house. Standing here with people passing by, it looks like we're discussing something unsavory."
Abbot remained kneeling and said, "It's okay, Mrs. Black. I'm not afraid of embarrassment."
Seeing Abbot being so stubborn, Rebecca's mother frowned and looked at Rebecca, "Well, come over and help him up."
Rebecca held the umbrella handle and said, "It's not that I ask him to kneel, he's the one..."
Before Rebecca could finish her sentence, her mother shot her a cold glance.
Rebecca quickly shut her mouth, lowered her head, and went to assist Abbot.
Taking advantage of the situation, Abbot managed to stand up and asked in a hushed tone, "Becca, have you forgiven me?"
Rebecca whispered back, "Consider yourself lucky today. I'll deal with you later."
Abbot grinned and continued, "Sure, as long as you don't break up with me, I'll take whatever punishment you give."
"Abbot, I've never realized how thick-skinned you are until now."
Abbot chuckled and replied, "Better than being a bachelor."
After that, Abbot stood up and followed Rebecca's mother and Rebecca into the house.
Before entering, he didn't forget to turn his head and make an "okay" gesture toward Colin and his friends.
Colin chuckled lightly, honked the horn in response, and watched Abbot enter the house. Then, he put away his phone, turned to Ethan, and asked, "Shall the three of us go to eat now?"
Ethan stretched his legs and said, "Go to my place to pick up Violet first, and send me the video you just recorded."
Colin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Posting it on your TimeLine?"
Ethan replied, "Sending it to Matthew."
Upon hearing that, Colin grinned mischievously. Wasn't sending it to Matthew meant it would be broadcasting to the world?
Without hesitation, Colin forwarded the video he had just recorded to Ethan.
Ethan felt his vibrated phone, he pulled it out, opened the message, and promptly hit the forward button to send it to Matthew.
Colin asked with his hands on the steering wheel, "Sent?"
Ethan chuckled lightly and said, "Let's see the effect in about an hour."
Meanwhile, Abbot had just taken a hot shower at the Blacks' villa and was shivering as he sat on the couch in the living room, sipping ginger tea.
Rebecca's mother sat on a nearby couch and was the first to break the silence, "I heard that you bought Becca's company?"
At the mention of Becca's company, Abbot's heart skipped a beat. He didn't dare to lie and responded, "Yes."
Rebecca's mother reached for the cup of tea on the coffee table, took a sip, and said, "You handled this matter quite underhandedly."
Abbot didn't dare to argue, "Yes, you're right."
Rebecca's mother continued, "While I can understand that there might have been reasons for this situation, I still hope that this kind of thing won't happen again."
Abbot assured her, "Rest assured, there won't be a second time."
Rebecca's mother placed her tea cup down and looked at Abbot, "A lifetime is long. If you two want to spend the second half of your lives together, excluding any unexpected events, you will have at least over forty years together."
Rebecca's mother's tone was calm and said them word by word.
But the more composed she seemed, the more uncomfortable Abbot felt.
