Pfft!
As soon as he heard Abigail’s answer, Levi spurted out the entire mouthful of tea he just drank.
“What’s wrong with that? Why can’t I date you now that you’re single after the divorce?”
Abigail stared at him confusedly.
Levi responded with a smile, “I’m indeed single, but I think you should get Zoey’s permission first before asking me out.”
“Well, I’ll do that now!”
Abigail left after that.
When she was in North Hampton, she was so thrilled to hear about Levi’s divorce that she actually lost some sleep for several nights because of that.
She couldn’t wait to make her way over to South City so she could start dating Levi!
Finally, her golden opportunity came.
She immediately visited Levi when it was time for her to do her internship.
Zoey was having a business discussion with Iris when Abigail visited her room.
“Abigail, how come you’re here? What’s the matter?” she questioned with a trace of astonishment in her voice.
“Yes, I have a question for you!”
Abigail spoke with a poker-faced expression.
“Let me give you girls some space.” With that, Iris prepared to leave the room.
“Iris, you may stay.”
Then, Abigail looked at Zoey and asked, “Zoey, are you and Levi divorced?”
“Yes. I even received the certificate of it.”
“Since both of you are single now, may I ask him out?”
Her question came as such a shock for both Zoey and Iris that their eyes widened in disbelief.
Is this girl crazy? I can’t believe she’s going to ask Levi out.
That was what both of them were secretly thinking at that time.
“Abigail, are you serious?”
Zoey staggered backward as she asked Abigail in a quivering voice.
Abigail nodded at her and affirmed, “I’m serious! I think he’s a nice guy who fits most of the requirements of my ideal man. Since he’s single now, I’m going to ask him out!”
Iris bit her lips in anxiety.
At that moment, she found herself resonating with Abigail because she, too, thought Levi was a nice guy.
Ever since he had saved her life that night, she had changed her views on him.
Yet, Zoey snapped with a crease on her forehead, “No, you can’t do that!”
“Huh?” Abigail appeared puzzled.
“Zoey, why can’t I? I mean, he’s single now!”
“Even though we’ve divorced, he’s still your brother-in-law! It’s inappropriate of you to date him, and it’s weird! Also, you should really focus on your studies since you’re still a student,” Zoey spoke sternly.
“I’m no longer a kid because I’m graduating soon. Besides, I have the right to ask him out as long as he’s single. Now that you are no longer his wife, you have no authority to stop me from dating him!”
Abigail looked determined.
No one could stop her from doing things that she had set her mind to!
Seeing how resolute she appeared, Zoey let out a sigh.
Why didn’t I notice Abby had a thing for Levi back then?
How on earth did she fall in love with him?
“Zoey, I’ll ask him out if you can’t give me any valid reason,” Abigail vowed.
“I…”
Zoey struggled to come up with an answer.
Fortunately, Iris came to her rescue. “Abigail, the truth is, someone else from your family filed for the divorce on their behalf. In fact, Zoey and Levi are still together now, and they will remarry each other soon. In fact, Levi’s been busy organizing a wedding ceremony for your sister lately! That’s to say they aren’t divorcing each other!”
“Say what?”
The moment Abigail learned about the truth, she fixed an incredulous gaze at Zoey.
Things went so tense and awkward that Zoey dreaded to even meet her eyes.
Bang!
Abigail stormed out of the door with tears dribbling down her face.
Because of the misunderstanding, things went rather awkward between the three of them.
After the incident, both Zoey and Levi decided not to go out and search for her.
However, a mishap befell Abigail when the night fell.
