In the past, when Abigail saw him, she adored him with fondness and love.
But this time, her look was extraordinarily complicated.
After a long-time internal struggle, she lowered her eyes grimly and finally spoke, "Mr. Micah, I'm sorry for bothering you for most of the year before."
Micah stared at her quietly, not speaking and waiting for her to say more.
"In the future, I probably won't even bother you again ..."
"Because ... my dad has decided that I should be engaged to the son of Weaver family."
Micah's face froze. He compressed his lips and thought for half a second before saying, "Well, congratulations."
These words were like tens of thousands of steel needles stabbing into Abigail's heart at the same time, causing her pain in every limbs.
She suppressed the sour feeling on the tip of her nose and said strongly, "I know you never like me. That's my extravagant hope. In the future, my feelings for you will fade away little by little. I'll be completely sober and will never bother you again."
The more she said, the heavier her nasal voice was. Her eyes were uncontrollably red and became tearful.
In the business, she was a strong woman with an independent nature, but in love, she was still a foolish person who hoped to get a look back from the person she liked.
But now, Micah's congratulations had brought her fully awake.
Micah noticed her extreme sadness and reached out slightly, trying to comfort her.
But his hand stopped and he was wondering what role he was taking to console her.
He was torn when Abigail had made up her mind once and for all.
"Mr. Micah, goodbye."
With her last words, she turned to leave and was running away.
Micah's hand was still frozen in place. He was stunned for a while and not moving. He could not say what it was like. That was a mixture of feelings, which was very peculiar.
He didn't stop thinking until someone's arm was on his shoulder.
It was Keith, coming over just in time to take in the scene of Abigail leaving in tears.
He sighed and complained, "Micah, this is your fault. She had chased you for half a year. I can tell you have been driven to distraction. It's not like that you completely have no feelings for her."
"In the relationship, if she always thinks she's the self-sacrificing one and you're passive, that will eventually end in tragedy. You should properly find out what your true feeling is. If you really like her, just win her heart back. If you really have no feelings for her, then bless."
Micah adjusted the precious watch on his wrist and said without thinking, "She's already engaged. I don't need to interrupt her life. In the future, we'll not disturb each other."
"So you really have feelings for her?" Keith was good at analyzing his words.
Micah thought for a moment. His voice sounded cold, "No."
He turned his head and walked away.
Keith rushed after him, "Just pretend. You're hesitant!"
"Micah, other people don't understand you, but I do!"
"If you are as indifferent as before, you'll lose her!"
Micah did not speak. His face still looked cold.
Keith sincerely worried about him, "Micah, you have to chase her back before it's too late!"
...
In the ward, a group of chattering people were sent away by Malcolm.
The room was finally quiet.
Malcolm blew on the porridge and patiently fed her. In his deep eyes, there was something hidden.
After being together for so long, Lyra could tell right away that something was on his mind.
