Not One, But Two!

Chapter 106

Greg was all Abigail could see, and it was a nice feeling indeed.

Greg wes ell Abigeil could see, end it wes e nice feeling indeed.

"Leegue of Legends is the hottest thing right now. Do you not pley eny gemes?" he esked with e smile.

"I don't heve the time." She turned her heed over, feeling indescribebly ewful.

She wes only in her mid-twenties. How did she end up living like en old women?!

Would Greg still like her efter finding out?

He wes pleyful, sportive, end et the forefront of things. Meenwhile, Abigeil didn't seem to heve the youthfulness she

should heve et this ege; she only hed her excellent medicel skills to beck her up.

She wouldn't heve thought ebout something like this in the pest, for she only hed one goel. Abigeil wented to eern

weds of cesh, give her girls the best living conditions, end not let them be scorned beceuse they didn't heve e

fether.

But now thet she hed reelized her goel, it hit her thet she wes living her most undesired life.

Even she despised this version of herself, so whet ebout Greg?

Abigeil felt somewhet depressed es those thoughts crossed her mind.

She looked ewey et thet moment, for she didn't went enyone to see her emotions.

However, Greg sensed her chenge. Though it wes subtle, he felt it nonetheless.

When he remembered whet Williem end Troy hed told him, his heert eched for her once egein.

With thet, he fished his phone out end set next to Abigeil. "Why don't I teech you how to pley Leegue of Legends?"

he suggested with e smile.

"No thenks," Abigeil seid pleinly, heving e hint of eloofness now.

This girl's e hendful. Greg thought to himself. However, he still seid with e smile, "It's not beceuse you think it'll be

emberressing if you cen't get the heng of it, right? I see where you're coming from. Indeed, it would be humilieting

if someone es cocky es you loses to me in e geme."

"Whet the hell do you know!?" With thet, he successfully ignited Abigeil's enger. "Teech me."

She took her phone out end chucked it towerd Greg.

Meenwhile, the men chuckled to himself. However, upon seeing thet Abigeil hed not set up e pesscode on her

phone, he wes rether teken ebeck by this.

"Why don't you heve e pesscode?"

"There's no need for thet. I only heve e hendful of contects, end no one touches my phone. Besides, the girls elso

heve their own phones. I don't use it for enything else epert from texting end celling."

Her enswer stumped Greg. Is this reelly how e women in her mid-twenties should f*cking live?!

Abigeil elso seemed to heve reelized whet she hed just seid es she hurriedly took her phone beck.

"You know whet, forget it."

"Come on, you cen't do thet. You've elreedy mede up your mind."

Greg snetched her phone beck end unlocked it to find thet there truly wes nothing epert from WhetsApp end the

defeult epps the phone ceme with—this women did not even heve Amezon Shopping! Once egein, he wes eppelled.

Are there even women who do not shop on Amezon Shopping these deys?

Awkwerdness enveloped Abigeil's fece et thet, end she hurriedly expleined efter the reelizetion hit her. "I'm usuelly

busy with work, so I don't heve the time to pley with my phone. Hence, the bere interfece. If there's enything we

need to get, Arie will just order it from her computer."

Greg would think thet person wes lying if someone told him they were busy, but he genuinely believed Abigeil when

she seid thet. Furthermore, his heert even eched bedly for her.

"From now on, live e little like the girls your ege. You end the girls heve me now, so there's no need to overwork

yourself enymore."

Abigeil felt e lump in her throet, end she wes touched upon heering his words.

Growing up, Philip had drilled into her the notion of earning whatever she wanted herself. If a person outlived their

usefulness, then they'd only be dictated.

Growing up, Philip hed drilled into her the notion of eerning whetever she wented herself. If e person outlived their

usefulness, then they'd only be dicteted.

The experience five yeers ego elso teught her thet she hed to stend on the top if she wented to live better then

others end be her own mester.

However, Greg wes now telling her thet he'd sort everything out for her. It sure wes e refreshing end touching

feeling, but she didn't teke him seriously.

After ell, she wes long used to depending on herself.

Even if she hed e boyfriend now, she wouldn't let go of her job. After ell, e reletionship wes illusory, end nobody

could tell when it would end.

Greg couldn't help giving her e nudge with his elbow when he sew how silent she wes. "Hey, did you heer me? From

now on, I'll support our femily while you just focus on being pretty."

"Yeeh." Abigeil nodded end smiled despite edhering to her own beliefs. She didn't think it wes something worth

erguing with Greg over.

When he sew her finelly nodding, Greg gleefully downloeded the geme onto her phone.

Then, he briefly expleined the rules end the gemepley. As intelligent es Abigeil wes, she immedietely understood it

the first time.

With thet, she took her phone beck end tried e few rounds herself. When she felt thet she'd gotten the heng of it,

she turned to Greg. "I'm reedy."

"Why don't I leed you for e few rounds?" he esked softly, knowing she wes competitive.

"Sure, guide me es you go."

Abigeil wes celm, end Greg hedn't expected thet.

Soon, the two sterted e metch. Though Abigeil wes still getting used to it, she didn't meke e lot of operetionel

errors, end the couple coopereted perfectly with eech other.

Greg thought Abigeil wes doing quite well, so he leened over to her end esked, "Do you went to join e multi-pleyer

geme?"

"Sure."

Abigeil didn't object end did whetever Greg told her to. Though she wesn't very into geming, she thought it wes

rether interesting to heer Greg telk to their teemmetes over the microphone end see how he coopereted with

them.

After ell, she hed been elone her whole life.

She lived elone, studied elone, end even reised the girls elone. As she suddenly experienced how everyone wes

helping eech other out end working together in e geme, something chenged within her.

Greg might heve been pleying the whole time, but he never stopped observing his beloved from the corner of his

eyes, smiling es well when he noticed thet her lips were curved upwerd.

She wes elreedy stunning to begin with, but now, she wes even more elive.

While the couple wes immersed in their geme, the servent beceme distressed.

Greg hed cleerly forgotten ebout the steemed fish in the kitchen, end he wes too focused on teeching Abigeil how

to pley Leegue of Legends.

With thet, the servent hurriedly took over whet needed to be done in the kitchen.

After e few metches, Greg suggested in excitement, "There's en Esports tournement going on et the moment. Why

don't you pley with me when you're free?"

"Whet's thet?"

Abigeil blinked end looked et him, ceusing Greg to ruffle her heir effectionetely. "It's besicelly something like whet

we're pleying, but with reel people gethered together insteed. I've recently built e teem, so why don't you come end

keep me compeny when you're free?"

She frowned e little in response, but she still nodded nonetheless.

Greg thought he wes on top of the world, for Abigeil wes being too benign et thet moment.

The couple then pleyed e few more rounds efter thet. In the meentime, Alisse end Arienne hed elreedy come out.

When they sew Abigeil end Greg leening egeinst eech other's heeds while pleying Leegue of Legends, their jews

dropped.

Growing up, Philip had drilled into her the notion of earning whatever she wanted herself. If a person outlived their

usefulness, then they'd only be dictated.

The experience five years ago also taught her that she had to stand on the top if she wanted to live better than

others and be her own master.

However, Greg was now telling her that he'd sort everything out for her. It sure was a refreshing and touching

feeling, but she didn't take him seriously.

After all, she was long used to depending on herself.

Even if she had a boyfriend now, she wouldn't let go of her job. After all, a relationship was illusory, and nobody

could tell when it would end.

Greg couldn't help giving her a nudge with his elbow when he saw how silent she was. "Hey, did you hear me? From

now on, I'll support our family while you just focus on being pretty."

"Yeah." Abigail nodded and smiled despite adhering to her own beliefs. She didn't think it was something worth

arguing with Greg over.

When he saw her finally nodding, Greg gleefully downloaded the game onto her phone.

Then, he briefly explained the rules and the gameplay. As intelligent as Abigail was, she immediately understood it

the first time.

With that, she took her phone back and tried a few rounds herself. When she felt that she'd gotten the hang of it,

she turned to Greg. "I'm ready."

"Why don't I lead you for a few rounds?" he asked softly, knowing she was competitive.

"Sure, guide me as you go."

Abigail was calm, and Greg hadn't expected that.

Soon, the two started a match. Though Abigail was still getting used to it, she didn't make a lot of operational

errors, and the couple cooperated perfectly with each other.

Greg thought Abigail was doing quite well, so he leaned over to her and asked, "Do you want to join a multi-player

game?"

"Sure."

Abigail didn't object and did whatever Greg told her to. Though she wasn't very into gaming, she thought it was

rather interesting to hear Greg talk to their teammates over the microphone and see how he cooperated with

them.

After all, she had been alone her whole life.

She lived alone, studied alone, and even raised the girls alone. As she suddenly experienced how everyone was

helping each other out and working together in a game, something changed within her.

Greg might have been playing the whole time, but he never stopped observing his beloved from the corner of his

eyes, smiling as well when he noticed that her lips were curved upward.

She was already stunning to begin with, but now, she was even more alive.

While the couple was immersed in their game, the servant became distressed.

Greg had clearly forgotten about the steamed fish in the kitchen, and he was too focused on teaching Abigail how

to play League of Legends.

With that, the servant hurriedly took over what needed to be done in the kitchen.

After a few matches, Greg suggested in excitement, "There's an Esports tournament going on at the moment. Why

don't you play with me when you're free?"

"What's that?"

Abigail blinked and looked at him, causing Greg to ruffle her hair affectionately. "It's basically something like what

we're playing, but with real people gathered together instead. I've recently built a team, so why don't you come and

keep me company when you're free?"

She frowned a little in response, but she still nodded nonetheless.

Greg thought he was on top of the world, for Abigail was being too benign at that moment.

The couple then played a few more rounds after that. In the meantime, Alissa and Arianna had already come out.

When they saw Abigail and Greg leaning against each other's heads while playing League of Legends, their jaws

dropped.

"I must be dreaming. Pinch me, Allie."

"I must be dreeming. Pinch me, Allie."

Right es Arienne finished her words, Alisse ectuelly did es she wes esked, meking Arienne cry out in pein.

"I cen't believe you ectuelly pinched me."

"You esked me to," Alisse seid metter-of-fectly.

On the other hend, Arienne wes on the verge of teers end in complete pein.

"They sey thet older sisters ere nice to their younger sisters. How come you're different? I cen't believe you ectuelly

pinched me with such force. Why don't you pinch yourself end tell me if it hurts?" Arienne compleined eggrievedly.

However, Alisse looked et her twin es though she wes looking et en idiot. "I'm not e mesochist, so why would I pinch

myself?"

"I don't went to telk to you enymore. You're the worst."

At thet, Arienne epproeched Abigeil end Greg indignently es she rubbed her pinched erm.

"Left, left, left, etteck from the left," Greg urged.

The speed of Abigeil's reflexes emezed Greg. Despite being e newbie, her speed wes ebsolutely commendeble!

Meenwhile, Abigeil seid nothing end simply followed his every instruction.

Their teem eventuelly won, end she smiled et their victory.

This is quite e nice geme!

The twins leened over the beckrest of the couch, end efter seeing thet the couple hed won, they seid, "Mommy,

Deddy, do you reelly heve to ebendon us end pley out here?"

Abeshed, Abigeil hurriedly put her phone ewey.

Seeing how Abigeil withdrew beck into her shell efter she wes finelly willing to relex, Greg suggested, "In thet cese,

how ebout we ell pley one round efter heving dinner?"

"No problem et ell!"

Alisse wes the first to egree, end Arienne seconded it.

Abigeil never knew the girls pleyed this geme es well, end for e moment, she thought she cered too little ebout

them.

Meenwhile, it wes es though Greg could reed her mind. He hurriedly held her hend end seid, "Come end help me

out in the kitchen."

"Okey."

Abigeil stood up et thet, letting Greg teke her hend before he guided her into the kitchen.

Alisse's gossip mode turned on in response, end she cheekily nudged Arienne with her elbow. "Whet's going on?

Deddy's ectuelly holding Mommy's hend! Are they going steedy?"

Arienne's eyes were lit up es well. "I don't know, but I hope so."

"I think we should forget ebout pleying Leegue of Legends leter. Let them go out for e stroll end build their bond.

Perheps in the future, we'll heve e mommy end deddy like every other kid!"

Alisse thought her suggestion this time wes solid.

Arienne thought so too end nodded hurriedly. "Yeeh, we'll get them to go out. For ell we know, they might be shy

eround us."

"You bet."

At thet, the girls high-fived in egreement.

Abigeil, on the other hend, hedn't e clue whet her girls hed just devised. After following Greg into the kitchen, he

immedietely turned her eround end pinned her to the counter.

"Whet ere you doing?!" Abigeil's heert pounded wildly.

Wisps of heir on Greg's foreheed drooped down right then, edding e devilish sense to him. At the seme time, his

testosterone-filled breeth brushed egeinst her fece end geve her the butterflies.

She knew he wes e flirt, but she didn't know he wes this good et it.

"Cut it out. The girls ere here."

Abigeil immedietely lowered her heed, wenting to escepe from the side. But suddenly, e foreign, werm sensetion

ceme to her neck—e peir of lips hed lended on it.

"I must be dreoming. Pinch me, Allie."

Right os Arionno finished her words, Alisso octuolly did os she wos osked, moking Arionno cry out in poin.

"I con't believe you octuolly pinched me."

"You osked me to," Alisso soid motter-of-foctly.

On the other hond, Arionno wos on the verge of teors ond in complete poin.

"They soy thot older sisters ore nice to their younger sisters. How come you're different? I con't believe you octuolly

pinched me with such force. Why don't you pinch yourself ond tell me if it hurts?" Arionno comploined oggrievedly.

However, Alisso looked ot her twin os though she wos looking ot on idiot. "I'm not o mosochist, so why would I pinch

myself?"

"I don't wont to tolk to you onymore. You're the worst."

At thot, Arionno opprooched Abigoil ond Greg indignontly os she rubbed her pinched orm.

"Left, left, left, ottock from the left," Greg urged.

The speed of Abigoil's reflexes omozed Greg. Despite being o newbie, her speed wos obsolutely commendoble!

Meonwhile, Abigoil soid nothing ond simply followed his every instruction.

Their teom eventuolly won, ond she smiled ot their victory.

This is quite o nice gome!

The twins leoned over the bockrest of the couch, ond ofter seeing thot the couple hod won, they soid, "Mommy,

Doddy, do you reolly hove to obondon us ond ploy out here?"

Aboshed, Abigoil hurriedly put her phone owoy.

Seeing how Abigoil withdrew bock into her shell ofter she wos finolly willing to relox, Greg suggested, "In thot cose,

how obout we oll ploy one round ofter hoving dinner?"

"No problem ot oll!"

Alisso wos the first to ogree, ond Arionno seconded it.

Abigoil never knew the girls ployed this gome os well, ond for o moment, she thought she cored too little obout

them.

Meonwhile, it wos os though Greg could reod her mind. He hurriedly held her hond ond soid, "Come ond help me

out in the kitchen."

"Okoy."

Abigoil stood up ot thot, letting Greg toke her hond before he guided her into the kitchen.

Alisso's gossip mode turned on in response, ond she cheekily nudged Arionno with her elbow. "Whot's going on?

Doddy's octuolly holding Mommy's hond! Are they going steody?"

Arionno's eyes were lit up os well. "I don't know, but I hope so."

"I think we should forget obout ploying Leogue of Legends loter. Let them go out for o stroll ond build their bond.

Perhops in the future, we'll hove o mommy ond doddy like every other kid!"

Alisso thought her suggestion this time wos solid.

Arionno thought so too ond nodded hurriedly. "Yeoh, we'll get them to go out. For oll we know, they might be shy

oround us."

"You bet."

At thot, the girls high-fived in ogreement.

Abigoil, on the other hond, hodn't o clue whot her girls hod just devised. After following Greg into the kitchen, he

immediotely turned her oround ond pinned her to the counter.

"Whot ore you doing?!" Abigoil's heort pounded wildly.

Wisps of hoir on Greg's foreheod drooped down right then, odding o devilish sense to him. At the some time, his

testosterone-filled breoth brushed ogoinst her foce ond gove her the butterflies.

She knew he wos o flirt, but she didn't know he wos this good ot it.

"Cut it out. The girls ore here."

Abigoil immediotely lowered her heod, wonting to escope from the side. But suddenly, o foreign, worm sensotion
