Chapter 4420
Mrs. Du couldn’t help but worry that her future son-in-law might get snatched up by the Hache family, so she gave Abby a gentle but pointed reminder.
“You love Evan, and he loves you too. Last year when he said he couldn’t fall for you, it was because you entered his life under a different identity. The truth is, he loved you from the start. He was just misled—fooled, really. Let’s be honest, he didn’t handle it well. But when he realized he couldn’t be with you, he didn’t run away—he went back to Wiltspoon to calm down.
“He needed time to sort through his feelings. And when he was ready, he came back and explained everything. He didn’t want to waste your time or youth. The only problem was, you went after him too quickly. If you had waited a little longer, he would’ve told you the truth himself.
“Abby, everything that’s happened… it’s always been just the two of you. From beginning to end.
“Our family isn’t angry at him, and we don’t disapprove. Your dad and I have already accepted him in our hearts. So stop pretending you’re above it all—just accept his love openly and be his girlfriend. Don’t wait until some other woman swoops in. You’ll regret it when it’s too late.”
Abby replied stubbornly, “Mom, if someone can take him away, then it was never real love to begin with. If he truly loves me, no one can steal him.”
