Ever since they returned from the cafe, Kelvin had been wearing a cold expression on his face.
Sitting in the car, Chris could feel the chill of winter creeping in and couldn't help but wrap his coat tighter around himself.
Abbie coughed softly, trying to get Kelvin's attention beside her. But she was destined to be disappointed; he didn't react at all.
His gaze was fixed on his phone screen, and there was no emotion visible on his handsome face. His lips were tightly pursed as if he had seen something unpleasant.
After a moment of silence, he spoke in a cold voice, "Take Abbie back to the Berry mansion first."
The beautiful woman next to him trembled slightly at his words. She didn't want to go back to the Berry mansion yet; it was still early and she wanted to spend more time with Kelvin.
Her misty eyes looked up at him pleadingly but he remained focused on his phone screen without any room for negotiation or discussion.
Abbie felt a wave of unfairness in her heart. It had been almost a week since she moved out of the Foley Villa and into the Berry mansion. Despite spending so many days at the Berry mansion, she felt like an outsider who had suddenly intruded, facing awkwardness anytime.
Moreover, Kelvin was swamped with work, and each time they talked on the phone, it was only for a sentence or two before he hung up.
Today's meeting was only because she had pretended to be sick and asked him to come pick her up to go to the hospital, using that as an excuse to have a cup of coffee together.
Who would have thought they would run into that woman, Cheyenne?
Although he tried his best to act indifferent, Kelvin actually cared about it.
"Kelvin, I... I don't want to go back."
"The Berry family isn't treating you well?" Kelvin didn't even lift his head as he coldly asked.
Abbie nodded with a sobbing voice, "Yeah... I feel like I've been away for too long. Like an outsider."
"They all have their own things during the day and are busy after dinner."
They don't care about her at all!
Chris, who was driving couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. He wondered what kind of reaction Cody would have if he heard this?
Kelvin finally lifted his head with furrowed brows. "How about I ask Chris to help you find a new apartment?"
"Huh?"
Isn't he supposed to take her back to the Foley Villa?
Abbie bit her lip and looked at him tearfully as she whispered, "Kelvin, I want us to live together."
She was afraid that Kelvin wouldn't agree, so she continued, "I'm alone... don't know what else do do. I'm very lonely and bored."
"No! My current apartment is too small for me already; I'm not used to having someone around. How about getting Chris find you a dog instead?"
Raise a dog?
Abbie held her breath, feeling so sad she wanted to cry when she realized that Kelvin would rather let her raise a dog than spend time with her.
But she knew that Kelvin hated women who were too clingy, like Cheyenne.
She couldn't let Kelvin become disgusted with her, so she choked back tears and forced a smile. "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Richards."
Chris suppressed his laughter and tried to keep his hands steady on the steering wheel as he answered in an even tone. "Miss Berry, don't be polite. Do you prefer Pomeranians or Teddy Bears or Huskies?"
