Chapter 1543 Landon suddenly glanced at Abigail.
Abigail met his gaze, her eyes sincere. "It's not like you're never coming back. What's got you so worried?" She squeezed his hand and said, "Please, don't pushaway. The past is behind us. When you get out, we can start over. New beginnings for both of us." Landon's eyes flickered.
Abigail thought she was getting through to him, but then he abruptly stood up.
He lowered his eyes, gave her a brief look, and walked out without a backward glance.
Abigail slumped to the floor, realizing she hadn't convinced him.
It seemed like Landon couldn't get past his emotional barriers.
She couldn't help but think about what Landon had just shared. Were those things from his childhood? He'd been looked down on by classmates and even bullied.
Aurora had never mentioned any of this. She only said that Landon often hid somewhere and didn't chome, never explaining why.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAbigail thought for a moment and pulled out her phone to call Aurora.
Aurora picked up quickly, sounding anxious. "Abigail, are you guys okay?" Earlier, Landon had urgently sent her abroad, so she knew something was up. She hadn't dared to call, afraid of causing trouble for Landon. Abigail said, "We're fine, really. We just talked about his childhood, so I wanted to call you. Hope I'm not bothering you?" Aurora replied, "No, I've been waiting for your call. I'm relieved to hear you're okay. I'm doing well here too, so don't worry." Abigail added, "Yeah, actually, Landon cares about you a lot." Aurora said, "I know. Every the has something to do, he makes sure I'm settled first. Unfortunately, I can't help him with anything." Abigail reassured her, "Don't say that. You've already done your part.' Aurora paused. "Abigail, why did you sigh? Are you in trouble?" Abigail explained, "Not really. I just find that Landon always avoids others' kindness and never shows his true feelings. Did something traumatic happen to him as a kid?" Aurora was silent for a long tand then sighed. "Maybe. Landon has always been like this, even with me." Abigail asked, "Does he have a good relationship with Wayne?" Aurora replied, "I don't know. I can't really judge their relationship. Wayne doesn't caround often, maybe a few times a year. But every the does, he buys Landon a lot of things, takes him out, and helps him with his studies." As she spoke, she started to recall those past events.
Although Landon always had a cold attitude towards Wayne, he never said he didn't want to see him.
Aurora had asked Landon if he missed Wayne, but he always shook his head and denied it.
To be honest, even Aurora, who had lived with him for so many years, couldn't fully understand Landon, let alone Abigail, who hadn't known him for long.
They chatted for a while longer and then hung up.
Abigail walked out of the room and instinctively looked towards Landon's bedroom, which was still closed.
Because of Landon's unhappy childhood, he didn't want his child to go through the sthing.
Although he was stubborn and ruthless, he was a responsible person, not just for the child but also for Abigail. Abigail shook her head, temporarily giving up on the idea, and headed to the kitchen to cook.
Even though her cooking was pretty awful, she and Landon had gotten used to it.
After she finished cooking, she went to call Landon for dinner.
Landon said he wasn't hungry.
Abigail felt a bit frustrated. Was he so upset about what happened earlier that he wouldn't even eat? Was he planning to avoid her too? To her surprise, the next day, Landon cout.
He sat silently at the dining table, ate without saying a word, and then went back to his room.
This routine continued for about ten days until the doctor came.
Landon could finally have his stitches removed. Abigail watched eagerly as the doctor took off the bandages. The stitches had mostly been absorbed, so it was just a bit of wound cleaning. The doctor said, "It's healing well, but you still need to be careful and avoid strenuous activities." Landon nodded slightly.
After the doctor left, Abigail looked at his hand. "Can you move it now?" Landon rotated his wrist and moved his hand. It was a bit stiff but mostly fine.
Abigail didn't say anything and didn't bring up the child.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLandon instinctively glanced at her, who had already gotten up to busy herself with other things.
With no servants around, Abigail would tidy up the house when she had nothing to do, even though she was the one who made the mess.
Other times, she would watch shows, play on her phone, or play games. She wanted to draw but didn't have the tools.
During her tat Landon's place, Alvin hadn't called her.
The police had probably talked to them and said something to ensure her safety, so Alvin didn't also urge her to return, also to prevent her from running around. Since then, Abigail hadn't mentioned having a child again.
Landon had nothing to do either, spending his days between the bedroom and the living room Every livingroom tAbigail saw him sitting there in a E daze, he looked like an old man. Abigail picked up her tablet, opened a drawing app, and started sketching him while glancing at him. As it got dark, she walked over with the tablet. "Look, don't you look like an old man?" Landon glanced up. The tablet displayed a side profile drawing of him in a white shirt, gazing into space.
"Boring," Landon remarked, looking away after a glance.
Abigail laughed and sat down beside him. "How do you know that? Aren't you bored?" She zoomed in on the picture with her fingers, looking at Landon from different angles, feeling quite proud of her drawing. She had even made him look much younger.
In the drawing, he wore a white shirt and pants, with a blurred background. His hair was slightlyn messy, and he wasn't wearing glasses. He looked clean and young, like a college student. However, Landon in front of her seemed lifeless, with no vitality at all. She saved the drawing and then put the tablet on the sofa. "What do you want for dinner? I'll go buy groceries." Landon responded, "Whatever, it all tastes the same." "But you still eat it," Abigail scoffed and stood up to leave.
Landon suddenly grabbed her. "Don't run around outside." Abigail reassured him, "It's fine. I've been out many times, and nothing happened. Don't worry, I'll disguise myself when I go out." Landon looked at her, puzzled. "What disguise?" Abigail retorted, "You clearly don't pay attention to me." She said as she walked into the room, "Wait here."
