Abbie's situation was even more miserable. After all, Kelvin was her actual grandson, so he restrained himself a bit when striking. Nevertheless, Old Mr. Foley didn't hold back when expressing his anger.
"And you! With a face thicker than city walls, how dare you continue to stay here? Get lost! From now on, no one from the Berry family, not even the dogs, is allowed into the Foley family!"
Old Mr. Foley showed no mercy to this "killer." He aimed for her joints, causing Abbie to flee and hide behind Vincent, who happened to arrive at that moment.
Vincent hurriedly glanced at Abbie, who was bruised in several places, and then turned his gentle gaze toward the enraged old Mr. Foley.
"What's going on? Grandpa, you just woke up; you can't let your emotions run wild."
"Vincent, step aside. From today onwards, this woman is the public enemy of the Foley family!"
"What?" Wasn't Miss Berry Kelvin's first love? Why did she suddenly become a public enemy?
Emelia, who followed Vincent, also wore a puzzled expression, but she was astute. She quickly pulled her brother back and said angrily, "Brother, why are you still defending her? Don't make Grandpa angry. Miss Berry, you should leave on your own!"
Abbie felt wronged. How did she, who was perfectly fine, become the target of everyone's ire? Emelia, who had been ingratiating herself with her the previous night, encouraging her relationship with Kelvin, and even helping her get the keys, now turned hostile.
Abbie knew that from today onwards, she would become the enemy of the Foley family. She couldn't accept it! All of this was because of Cheyenne.
She looked at Kelvin standing on the side, and he was staring at her with eyes full of disgust.
"You said you wasted eleven years of youth with me, but what I want to say is that I never asked you to do so."
If Abbie could have been more sensible, Kelvin would have treated her, as his father had said, like a younger sister to care for. She had always fantasized about things that weren't meant for her.
Kelvin's words undoubtedly dealt the final blow to Abbie. She looked at him with hatred, and a sinister smile appeared on her delicate face.
As she left, she didn't forget to leave a threatening remark, "Kelvin, I will make you regret the decision you made today! I curse you and Cheyenne to a lifetime of unrequited love! Lonely and desolate!"
Kelvin could foresee his future without her words. Before meeting Cheyenne, he had never thought about getting married. Forced into marriage, he had compromised. As for the future, he didn't dare to dream that she would forgive him.
Cheyenne, however, didn't even care about Abbie's curse. "Is that so? I'll be waiting for your revenge."
Abbie left in tears, and what was once prideful had now turned into a pitiable state. The incident cast a shadow over everyone, making the atmosphere uncomfortable.
During lunch, Cheyenne fulfilled her promise and made chicken mushroom soup for old Mr. Foley. The soup would be her last gift before leaving, as she planned to depart after the final round of acupuncture. Old Mr. Foley drank the soup unusually slowly.
Suddenly putting down his bowl, he addressed Kelvin, "You've been eyeing me for quite a while. Have some, both of you."
He then sought Cheyenne's opinion, "Cheyenne, you don't mind, do you?"
She lowered her head while eating her own meal and responded blandly, "Anyone but Kelvin is fine."
Kelvin, hearing himself excluded, felt a pang in his heart. His intense and questioning gaze lingered on her, hesitating to speak.
"I bear no name, bear no grudge, with you, I can't resent..."
Her phone suddenly rang, and she put down her bowl to answer. It was Tanner.
