Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 228

But the more she tried to console her, the louder Abigail cried.

Finally, Marjorie couldn't take it anymore and left to check into a hotel for the night.

Jarvis hadn't been home for a week. Tonight, he had come back to get some clothes and walked right into the middle of Abigail's dramatic breakdown.

The couple didn't even bother with a civil word. They dove straight into another huge fight.

This time, the fight was severe. Abigail cursed Jarvis and his entire family tree.

Jarvis was shaking with rage. He raised his fist but ultimately managed to restrain himself.

If that fist had landed, the madwoman would have probably gone to dig up the Sullivan family graves.

Furious, Jarvis grabbed a few items of clothing and stormed out.

He had been staying in the company dormitory recently, just to avoid Abigail's constant nagging. He didn't know when this nightmare would end.

Jarvis had been walking with no real direction for half an hour when he finally took out his phone and called an Uber. The car showed up just a few minutes later.

Jarvis opened the back door and slumped into the seat, his head down in misery.

When the driver confirmed the ride details, he snapped his head up.

That voice... it was so familiar...

As the driver turned slightly, Jarvis saw her face clearly. He instinctively called out her name, his voice trembling with a hint of joy.

"Jane Jones!"

Jane turned and met Jarvis's disbelieving gaze. She paused for a moment. Then, a faint smile appeared on her face. "Jarvis, it's you!"

The woman, Jane Jones, was Jarvis's high school classmate and his first love.

Jane was of average appearance, with a round face and gentle eyes. A faint smile always graced her lips. Perhaps because of her profession, she exuded a natural warmth.

Now, after more than twenty years, they met again, but everything had changed.

A moment of silence filled the car. Jarvis desperately wanted to know how Jane had been all these years and how she had ended up back in Clayborne City.

It took him a long time to finally stammer out a question. "When did you come back to Clayborne City?"

Ms. Jones smiled. "It's been almost ten years. Are you still working at the same company?"

Jarvis was stunned. Jane had been back for ten years? Why hadn't she looked for him? But he couldn't bring himself to ask the question.

"Oh, and your husband? Is he in Clayborne City too?" For some reason, he had to know about her situation. Jane's husband was so much older than her; by now, he must be in his seventies.

"Him? He died ten years ago, from an illness," Jane said calmly.

Jarvis's heart leaped. He quickly asked, "So you've been raising your child on your own?"
