Chapter 103: He Needs To Boost Her Confidence
Seeing her face suddenly stiffen and slightly pale, Sawyer no longer wanted to tease her. He could tell she was nervous now.
"My mother heard about you from my father, but since I didn’t tell them any details, they don’t know anything about you," He chuckled lightly before continuing, "They’ve asked me several times, but I always ignored their questions." He paused as he noticed she was less tense.
"Abby, I promise I won’t pressure you until you are ready," Sawyer spoke again after seeing her reluctant to say anything. "And I hope that doesn’t take too long because my mother asks about you every day." He grinned.
Abigail breathed a sigh of relief to hear him. She wasn’t ready to meet Sawyer’s family. She felt she needed to improve herself first; being a barista at a small café wasn’t something she wanted them to know.
She didn’t want Sawyer to face criticism for being in a relationship with an ordinary girl like her. She also wanted to erase "Snow" from her name. Until then, she wouldn’t allow him to tell his family anything about her.
"Abby, when are you ready to meet my mother?" Sawyer asked softly, checking to see if she had changed her mind.
Abigail felt pressured again upon hearing his question.
"I told you before, please give me more time. I’m trying to become the best version of myself to stand beside you, Sawyer. But not now; I lack confidence. And you know my plan to change my name, right?"
Sawyer nodded, aware that she intended to erase "Snow" from her name. He had already scheduled an appointment with his lawyer to help her file the necessary paperwork with the court. It was a simple matter, and he didn’t have to worry about it. However, he still needed to boost her confidence, which was challenging for him.
