Chapter 173: Honeymoon Plan
Sawyer’s voice trailed off when he noticed her eyes narrowing and her beautiful eyebrows slightly raised, clearly showing her annoyance.
"Abby, my dear, why did you give me that look? You should be proud that you are the reason I’m falling in love again, right?"
"I do, and I’m proud and glad to hear that. Thank you, Sawyer..." Abigail smiled as she turned to face him, wanting to look into his eyes. "But I’m just curious—do you still have any feelings left for her?"
Sawyer frowned.
Noticing the change in his expression, Abigail quickly added, "I mean, she is your childhood sweetheart—your first love, or at least your first crush. Moreover, she has princess-like beauty, a glamorous and hotshot acting career, and comes from a wealthy, old-money family. And then there’s me; I’m completely different from her—"
"Indeed, you are completely different from her. Personally, you stand out without any of the traits you mentioned about her," Sawyer smiled as he noticed her eyebrows furrowing even more. "And for that, among other things, I love you more than I could ever express..."
"I’m serious!" Abigail responded, irritated that Sawyer seemed not to understand her feelings. "Gosh! Can you please praise me a little?" She lowered her eyes, not wanting him to see how sad she felt. But it was too late.
"I am serious too, Abby. I praised you, right?" He smiles. "My feelings for you are within any logical reason and beyond. Because I don’t believe logic alone can make me deeply, madly in love with you."
Sawyer could see her expression darken; she looked angry. Instead of trying to calm her down, he leaned closer, gently placing his hand on her chin to lift her gaze to his.
