Chapter 772 Home Sweet Home
Colin spoke earnestly, and a smile tugged at the corner of Faye's lips.
At the same time, in the Blacks' villa.
Abbot was leaning against the headboard, holding a bowl of plain soup in his hands, his face as gloomy as he was attending a funeral. He was eating without any enjoyment.
Abbot frowned as he looked at Rebecca by the bedside, "Could you please stop laughing?"
Rebecca couldn't control her laughter at all. She ended up squatting down on the floor and gasped for breath between her giggles. She said, "I mean, hahaha. Seriously? What were you thinking? Why were you hugging my dad in the morning and kissing him? Hahaha..."
Rebecca's laughter was infectious, and Abbot felt so embarrassed.
As Rebecca's laughter finally subsided, Abbot's already morose expression grew even darker.
A few minutes later, the nanny knocked on the bedroom door from outside and said, "Becca, Faye is here."
Rebecca got up from the floor. She was still struggling to contain her laughter and answered, "Alright. Hahaha... I'm coming. Hahaha..."
Rebecca chuckled as she walked out of the room, she managed to control her laughter only when she was walking down the stairs.
In the living room, it had been a while since Rebecca's mother had seen Faye. She held Faye's hand and bombarded her with questions.
Faye answered each one, and then Rebecca's mother glanced at Colin and whispered, "This young man looks pretty good."
Faye nodded, "Yes."
After Faye finished answering, Rebecca's mother was about to ask further questions. Then, Rebecca came down from the second floor and gave Faye a big hug.
Rebecca's mother stood up and headed to the kitchen.
Seeing that Rebecca's mother left, Colin stood up and spoke, "I'll go check on Abbot."
Rebecca's lips curled into a smile and said, "Second room on the left, upstairs."
"Alright, you two please carry on," Colin said and walked upstairs.
Seeing that Rebecca barely contained her laughter, Faye asked, "What's so funny?"
Rebecca leaned closer to Faye and whispered, "Did Abbot call you to come here?"
Faye nodded.
Rebecca's shoulders shook with laughter at the revelation.
Seeing her reaction, Faye couldn't help but laugh as well. She asked, "What happened exactly? Was it just because your dad and he were in the same room last night?"
Rebecca shook her head, her amusement growing even stronger. She replied, "No."
Faye's curiosity was piqued. She asked further, "Then what happened?"
Rebecca leaned closer, her hand cupped around her mouth as she whispered near Faye's ear, "Last night, my dad was going to sleep on the floor while Abbot took the bed. But in the middle of the night, my dad must've been a bit disoriented after he went to the bathroom. He thought he was in his own room and just climbed onto the bed."
"And guess what? Abbot was even worse. He woke up early this morning, probably thinking I was sleeping next to him, and he proceeded to give my dad's head at the back a series of enthusiastic kisses. After that, he even complained that my dad's head was poking his mouth..."
It wasn't sure whether it was Rebecca's vivid description or Faye's vivid imagination.
As Rebecca finished narrating, the two of them burst into laughter, sitting side by side on the couch.
Rebecca's mother returned with some fruit and saw the two of them on the couch, giggling uncontrollably.
After she put the fruit down, she joined in the laughter, playfully poking each of their foreheads, and said, "Both of you are grown-ups now and about to get married, yet you're still behaving like children."
Faye and Rebecca exchanged a glance, stifling their laughter and sitting properly.
"Faye, your favorite oranges." Rebecca's mother passed the neatly cut fruit forward, her eyes filled with affection as she looked at Faye.
Rebecca's mother's love for Faye wasn't out of nowhere.
They first met at school. It was when Faye had gotten into a fight with someone and their parents were called in.
Faye had no parents to call, and she didn't want to trouble the Farrells, so Rebecca called her mother for help.
At first, Rebecca's mother thought Faye was one of those troublesome and unruly kids who always picked up fights. She initially refused to help, but under Rebecca's persistent persuasion, she eventually went to the school.
The person Faye fought with was a boy from a relatively well-off family. He had originally tried to pursue Faye, but after several unsuccessful attempts, he started spreading rumors that Faye wasn't a good girl. He claimed that sleeping with her was easy and cost only two hundred.
At that time, Faye wasn't skilled at hiding her emotions and her reaction was rather aggressive.
The boy's mother was a stubborn woman, insisting on having Faye expelled from school.
The school's disciplinary officer was caught in a dilemma. On one hand, they couldn't afford to offend the boy's family, and on the other, they knew that Faye was being supported by the Farrells
