Chapter 304: Chapter 304
If he hadn’t arrived in time, the woman he loved and their child would have been lost.
Yet Ryan Abbott’s betrayal wasn’t over.
"Mom, I’ve always been compromising. You asked me to marry Summer Xavier, and I agreed, but you still won’t let Willa go. From now on, I absolutely won’t compromise with you anymore. If you truly can’t accept Willa, that’s fine, I’ll leave the Abbott Family with Willa, and you can stay with the Abbotts..."
Ryan Abbott could say this simply because he knew he was the only son of the Abbott Family, the only reliance Mrs. Abbott had.
Mrs. Abbott would never let him leave the Abbott Family, never ignore her son.
When a mother and son clash, it’s always the mother who can’t be hard-hearted.
So Ryan Abbott’s move was always successful.
This wasn’t the first time he had threatened Mrs. Abbott , and Mrs. Abbott was truly feeling cold-hearted now.
"Fine, fine, fine, for a woman, you don’t even want your own mother anymore. You’re not my son now, you’re hers! If you want to go, then go right ahead! With an unfilial son like you, I’m better off without one!"
Ryan Abbott regretted saying this, but seeing Mrs. Abbott’s tough stance, he knew he had to be even tougher and not compromise at all.
Otherwise, Mrs. Abbott would surely target Willa again and force him to marry that Summer Xavier.
So Ryan Abbott got up and left.
Mrs. Abbott saw Ryan Abbott really walk away and was so angry that she fainted.
Ryan Abbott left the Abbott Family with Willa Sherman, apologizing to her with guilt, "Willa, ever since we’ve been together, you’ve been suffering grievances. I don’t want you to suffer anymore. This time I’m taking you away, and I don’t plan to return to the Abbott Family unless my mom agrees to let me marry you..."
He continued, "I am my mom’s biological son, as long as I’m determined, she’ll eventually compromise. By then, we can be happily together, and no one can come between us. But during these days, you might have to continue suffering a bit."
Willa Sherman nestled in Ryan Abbott’s arms and smiled slightly. She hadn’t expected Ryan to really take this step for her.
Ryan’s mother probably wished she could kill her now.
But unfortunately, Ryan’s mother would also realize her importance to Ryan and wouldn’t dare to easily harm her again.
Willa Sherman said, "Brother Ryan, you’re the one suffering. You should be living a life of luxury as a young master of the Abbott Family, but you’ve fallen out with your family for me. I really feel bad. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have fallen in love with you. Without me, your relationship with Auntie wouldn’t be ..." Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵
She became more and more upset as she spoke, "Brother Ryan, go back and apologize to Auntie. Stop worrying about me and the child. I can’t just watch you break with your family..."
Ryan comforted her, but she just kept crying:
"Actually, Auntie is right. I’m not good enough for you. Auntie truly wants what’s best for you. Having you marry Miss Xavier was the right thing since you two are well-matched, a perfect pair meant to be together. I’m just a disgraceful third party who broke you two apart..."
"That’s not true, Willa, you’re not a third party. It’s that Summer Xavier who’s the third party. It’s her appearance that broke us apart. I absolutely won’t give her a chance again, no matter how she pesters me. I won’t even look at her again..."
When Willa Sherman heard this, a chill briefly flashed in her heart. Was that Summer Xavier still pestering her Brother Ryan?
If that’s the case, she couldn’t afford to ignore the situation with that Summer Xavier.
"Brother Ryan, I know it’s enough that you love me. Don’t do anything else for me. Let me go. Let me leave this sad place. Only then can I protect our child. This is the fruit of our love. I can’t lose him. I’ll find a place secluded from the world to raise our child. When he’s grown, I will tell him that my love with his father was genuine..."
The more pitifully Willa Sherman cried, the more Ryan Abbott couldn’t bear it.
Such a good Willa, how could those people be cruel enough to hurt her?
If he couldn’t protect the woman he loved, was he really a man?
Ryan Abbott took a deep breath, "Willa, you know I love you. You’re the only woman I love in this life. I said I wouldn’t marry Summer Xavier and I absolutely won’t. No matter how the Xavier Family tries to persuade or threaten me, I won’t compromise. My heart belongs to you alone, and only marrying you will make me happy. We can definitely be happy together..."
Willa Sherman seemed moved and finally stopped mentioning leaving.
"Brother Ryan, being with you in this life leaves me with no regrets. My parents ignore me now, Auntie hates me, I only have you and the child. You can’t betray me. If even you don’t want me, then I really have nothing left..."
Look, she’s become alienated from everyone for Ryan Abbott. If Ryan betrays her, does he even have a conscience?
Summer Xavier thought she had already moved on from Ryan Abbott’s affairs, so she had completely forgotten about it afterward.
However, she underestimated the peculiar nature of the situation.
On that day, after Paige Sterling and she finished a board meeting, they left Aura headquarters and dined together at a restaurant. Willa Sherman suddenly appeared.
She appeared with tears in her eyes, as if she’d been terribly wronged.
Summer Xavier almost didn’t recognize who she was until she spoke, "Miss Xavier! I have some things I’d like to say to you."
Summer Xavier raised her eyebrows, "You have something... to say to me?"
What did she have to discuss with this Willa Sherman?
"Yes," Willa Sherman looked resolute, "I’m here because of matters between you and Brother Ryan. I know there are some misunderstandings between you two, and you have some misunderstandings about me too. I want to clarify things between us, hoping to resolve any misunderstandings..."
Summer Xavier’s mouth twitched hard, glancing at Paige Sterling who remained calm, she said, "Miss Sherman, did you find the wrong person? I’m not familiar with Ryan, nor with you. Interrupting me and my friend while dining is a rather impulsive act, don’t you think? If there’s nothing else, please leave immediately."
Seeing that Summer Xavier treated her , as if she didn’t take her seriously, Willa Sherman’s expression became somewhat unsightly.
"Miss Xavier, we’re all women. I know what you’re thinking. You like Brother Ryan, and you want to be with him. Rest assured, I’m not here to stop anything. I’m here to have a good talk with you. We both love Brother Ryan, so let’s stop fighting and hurting him."
Summer Xavier, "..." Since when did she ever fight with Willa Sherman?
Does this woman have some kind of persecution delusion?
Summer Xavier kindly said, "Miss Sherman, should I call a neurosurgeon for you to clean the crap out of your brain?"
Willa Sherman’s expression froze, "Miss Xavier, how can you say that? I know my aunt likes you and wants you to be Brother Ryan’s wife. I’m not here to compete or show off. I’m here to bless you and Brother Ryan. I’ve decided to step back, allowing you and Brother Ryan to be together..."
Paige Sterling gave Summer Xavier a meaningful look, and Summer Xavier responded with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.
And Willa Sherman, with the spirit of an actor, continued her performance.
