Chapter 262 Thunderstorm Coming

Abigail leaned into the couch as she stared at Luna, who was admiring the peacock overtone pearl

excitedly.

“I planned on using those thousand pearls to design a gown. We’re selling it for 8 hundred.” Abigail told

her.

“This is the second most expensive dress aside from the one for Lexie. But the color of this pearl is

expensive, let alone your design. You can draw the design first, and we’ll work on the rest later.” Luna

walked to her side with anticipation on her face.

“I wanted to get some normal pearls to design a dress, but I discovered this surprise instead.” Abigail

smiled, satisfied with the trip to Eastbay.

“This is so beautiful.” Luna could not resist and touched the pearl Abigail gave her.

“Take your time admiring it. I’m heading home.” Abigail stood up and told her while pinching her face

lightly.

“Okay. Rest well. Don’t worry about rushing the design.” Luna stood up with her. Then, she muttered,

“I’ve got to find myself a jewelry designer now so I can wear this baby soon!”

Abigail could not help but laugh. Compared to the peace on her side, there was a thunderstorm on

Eric’s side.

As soon as he posted his statement, Josh immediately called him. “Why didn’t you discuss this with me

before posting on Twitter? Even if you disagree with the marriage, we should discuss this. You’ve upset

Kelly now,” Josh said and sighed.

“You told me not to take the words of elders as edicts, but you keep meeting me for Kelly. I’ve always

come up with an excuse. You should know my feelings. I know you hope I can treat her like how I

treated Abigail, but I just can’t do it.” Eric did not deny that he hurt Kelly.

He simply harbored no feelings toward Kelly, nor could he transfer a part of his feelings for Abigail to

her.

“You’re too impulsive. Kelly’s just returned, and your statement embarrassed her. My parents dote on

her, and your actions will cause endless problems for Abigail, do you understand?” Josh’s voice went

chilly.

He would not interfere if Eric wanted to pursue other things. However, Eric mentioned that he disagreed

with the engagement, which was akin to disrespecting the elders of both families just for Abigail.

At first, the elders of both families thought they had the wrong person and felt bad for intruding on

Abigail’s family. So, they pretended not to know that Eric went to Eastbay to find her, but now,

Josh’s father was furious since Kelly was dragged into this.

Eric calmed down and frowned. After a long time, he said in a low voice, “I’ll protect her. No matter

what they do, I won’t let them harm Abigail.”

Josh sighed. “You’re so stubborn. If you want to pursue her, you should do it slowly. I’ll comfort Kelly.

You should talk this out with your parents so they won’t find trouble with Abigail.”

Even if Abigail was not Josh’s sister or Eric’s originally appointed fiance, their desire to protect her had

never changed.

After hanging up the phone, Josh was still frowning with his phone in his hands.

“Josh.” Kelly’s voice rang from behind him.

When he turned around, he hid the worry on his face and replaced it with a doting smile. “What’s up?”

“Did my return make things difficult for Eric? I saw his post. I’m impressed by him and envy Abigail. If

possible, I’ll tell her I just got to know Eric and hope she’s not affected by the negative news.” Her big

eyes were filled with obedience.

Then, he walked toward her and patted her head. “It’s fine. Eric can handle his problems. Abigail

doesn’t wish for us to disturb her. Oh, she’s the same age as you, so it’s not right to call her sis.”

“Oh. Okay. I know now.” Kelly lowered her eyes like an obedient child.

Josh’s heart ached at her response as she had just returned to the family, yet behaved like she was

walking on eggshells even though the whole family treated her well. She was obedient and looked like

a puppet.

She was told about the marriage between the Davidsons and Pearsons by their parents. Josh had

wanted to meet Eric to see if there was chemistry between the two. If there was not, then they would

think of a solution. Unexpectedly, Eric refused to meet him and went to Eastbay, leading to such a thing

happening.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll return to my room, Josh.” Kelly’s voice once again brought Josh back from

his thoughts.

“Okay. Rest well. You don’t need to worry about this. Your return is the next best thing. Everything else

can be discussed. We’ll prioritize your feelings. Even Eric isn’t as important as you.” He

nodded.

In other words, he was implying to her that the marriage promise between both families could be

changed. If Eric was not agreeable to the marriage, the Pearsons could always propose

terminating the marriage contract without considering the Davidsons‘ feelings.
