Chapter 54 Deep Love
Roman shook his head, unable to believe it.
"No, it's absolutely impossible!"
Abigail was supposed to be his fiancée. Why did she suddenly marry Gregory?
Why did this happen?
Roman's mood was complicated.
It seemed like a corner of his heart suddenly became empty.
But he didn't realize it yet. He attributed it all to being too shocked.
Because Abigail and Gregory had no contact before, something abnormal must have happened.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Grace suddenly laughed, "Why is it impossible? Abigail has the right to choose her happiness, something you couldn't give her, but someone else could."
"But... it can't be Gregory. They clearly didn't even know each other."
Roman lowered his gaze and muttered to himself.
After about half a minute, Roman suddenly figured it out.
Someone as aloof and ascetic as Gregory could definitely not like Abigail.
Abigail must have used some despicable means to make Gregory marry her.
Why did she do this? She must be trying to retaliate against him, thinking that he betrayed her.
Yes, that must be it!
It's no wonder he felt something strange in Gregory's tone when he spoke to him this morning, filled with possessiveness toward Abigail.
At the time, he thought it was just his imagination, but he didn't expect that they were actually together.
He raised his head, gritted his teeth, and said, "Grandma, Abigail must be trying to get back at me by getting involved with Gregory! How could you agree to this?"
But Grace was so angry at his increasingly harsh words that she slapped him on the back.
"Don't think so highly of yourself. Do you think Abigail didn't break off the engagement before because she still liked you?"
Roman really thought so.
He said, "Isn't it? Otherwise, why would she hold onto this marriage contract?"
Grace was almost furious at his words.
How could the White family have such a despicable person?
Not only was Roman arrogant, but he also thought highly of himself.
She sneered and said, "The reason why Abigail did not end the marriage before was because she wanted to fulfill her mother's last wish. If it wasn't for you being caught in bed with someone else, she might have continued to endure. As a beneficiary, what qualification do you have to humiliate her here?"
Roman opened his mouth to retort, but in the end, he didn't say a word.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the bedroom door.
Grace took a deep breath, composed herself, and said to the person outside the door, "Come in."
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Andy walked in, saying, "Mrs. Grace White, Mr. White, and Mrs. White are here to see you."
Abigail and Gregory walked in, greeting Grace with a smile.
As soon as Grace saw Abigail, a loving smile appeared on her face.
"Abigail is here? You two are so busy. Why did you think of visiting this old lady today?"
Abigail playfully looked at her and said, "Who says you're an old lady? You're still young. If we go shopping together, people will definitely think we're sisters."
Abigail's sweet words made Grace radiant with joy, and her face was full of smiles.
She gently tapped Abigail's nose and said, "You have such a sweet mouth."
Gregory chuckled softly and said, "Abigail was very worried about your health, so she came to see you specially and bought you some health supplements."
Grace glanced at Gregory, and she could clearly feel that he had changed a bit.
The previous Gregory was cold and aloof, keeping his distance from others. Even his smile could make people feel his inherent indifference and detachment.
But now, he smiled more often, and his eyes were no longer as cold and sharp as before; rather, they had a hint of softness.
Seeing such a significant change in him in such a short time, Grace felt extremely pleased.
Since Gregory was kidnapped, his personality has become more and more closed off.
Even the psychiatrist had diagnosed him with emotional deficiency because he could keep his emotions at the same level, without any fluctuations, no matter what happened.
His emotions did have some fluctuations, but only in certain specific contexts.
Even the psychiatrist couldn't probe into his inner world.
Therefore, no one knew what could cause his emotions to fluctuate.
Now, it seemed that Abigail had a significant influence on Gregory's emotions.
For Gregory, this may be a good thing.
So Grace is very grateful to Abigail and treats her with extra closeness and affection, which is completely different from her attitude towards Roman when facing Roman.
Roman watched from the side, feeling extremely frustrated.
Who exactly is her grandson?!
Why is Grace better to Abigail than to him?
With these thoughts in mind, Roman glared at Abigail fiercely.
He blamed Abigail for disturbing their family and causing him to be scolded by Grace.
However, the next second, Roman suddenly felt a cold aura.
It was like a gust of cold wind climbing up his spine, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw Gregory staring at him with a dark expression and a warning in his eyes.
Meeting Gregory's gaze, Roman's back stiffened, subconsciously sensing a hint of danger.
He nervously swallowed and greeted Gregory.
Gregory nodded lightly, slowly withdrawing his gaze and placing it back on Abigail.
Roman clearly saw that when Gregory looked at Abigail, his eyes became unusually gentle.
It was a kind of gentleness...that Roman had never seen in Gregory before.
He was shocked in his heart as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret.
At the same time, many previously overlooked details flooded into his mind like spring water.
After Gregory moved out, he rarely came back to the White Manor.
Except for every mandatory family banquet, it seemed like Abigail was always there whenever Gregory came back.
When the family sat around the dining table for a meal, Gregory's gaze would always intentionally or unintentionally glance in Abigail's direction.
His gaze was light and fleeting as if it was just an inattentive glance that quickly retracted.
It was so fast that it was almost invisible.
Because of this, he had never thought about it before.
But today, everything connected, and he realized that Gregory's thoughts seemed deeper than he had imagined.
He had never known that Gregory had such thoughts about his fiancée.
For some reason, as he thought about it, goosebumps appeared on Roman's body.
He felt a bit uneasy and quickly averted his gaze, not daring to meet Gregory's eyes again.
Gregory noticed his change in expression and smiled lightly.
He took the initiative to speak, greeting Roman, "Roman, you finally decided to come back? Your grandmother has been worried about you during this time."
Roman quickly explained, "I accidentally lost my phone and only found it last night. It made my grandmother worry."
For some reason, from childhood to now, Roman has always had a deep fear of Gregory.
So when he talked to Gregory, he always unconsciously held his breath. He could finally catch his breath only when Gregory looked away from him.
