The Marriage She Turned into War novel Chapter 177

"Samuel, you should take a good hard look at all the things that you have done! Are you even a man? When Abigail was at her lowest, you didn't stay by her side. Now that she's rich, you came back for her money. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" Joanna cursed and yelled at me.

I just looked at her indifferently and remained silent. After all, she would never know just how much I had given up for Abigail.

Abigail's success today was irrevocably tied to me.

Joanna didn't know, but even if I tried to explain it to her, she wouldn't believe my words anyway.

Before this, I had swallowed this bitter pill and kept silent about it for the sake of Abigail's future. Since I had already made this choice then, I should accept my fate. I had no other choice anyway.

Joanna cursed me out for a while before she finally felt satisfied. Only then did she leave smugly.

I looked at her retreating figure and couldn't help but feel that the entire situation was laughable. If not for Abigail's tolerance of Joshua and Joanna's antics, they wouldn't have dared to come and cause trouble for me.

Nonetheless, none of this was important anymore.

…

When I arrived home, Abigail was already home. She was sitting on the couch and looking at her phone with a blank expression on her face.

When she heard the sound of my opening the door to enter the house, she immediately looked up.

"You're back," she exclaimed.

When Abigail saw me, a spark of joy appeared in her eyes. She stood up and came to stand before me, helping me to take my coat off. She smiled as she asked, "Where did you go? You smell like perfume."

It was obvious that that sentence was meant as a warning for me.
