Chapter 188: DNA Test
There was only one person Abigail resembled, and that was her grandmother. Even her mother didn’t share the exact resemblance; they only had the same eye color. Surprisingly, this older man also had the same eye color as her.
James clenched his hands tightly, impatient to understand why Sophie had left him. This mystery loomed as the biggest question in his life and continued to confuse him. He felt he could never find peace without hearing Sophie’s reasons for her departure.
Knowing Sophie talk about the past to Abigail awakened his curiosity.
"Abigail, can you tell me why your grandma suddenly vanished from my life?" James asked. The tension in his heart became more apparent as his breath grew short, waiting for her response.
Sawyer, who sat beside Abigail, was also curious. He knew a little about Sophie; she hated the wealthy families in the capital. At that moment, he was unsure of Sophie’s exact reasons. However, after learning that Sophie was James Philips’ long-lost fiancée, he began to understand her feelings: she despised the Philips family.
"I’m sorry, Grandpa Philips, but I can’t say anything. You’ll need to ask my grandma about it," Abigail replied, refusing to discuss it further.
She didn’t want to talk about it, not out of hatred for this man, but because she was in the dark about what had happened in the past and who was telling the truth. Her grandma had only told her that her grandpa had left her for another woman. In contrast, Grandpa Philips claimed that his fiancée had departed without saying a word. He still tried to look after her grandma despite the circumstances.
Seeing James’ disappointment, Abigail felt guilty but didn’t know how to respond. She turned to Sawyer, silently asking for his help.
When Sawyer saw Abigail’s awkwardness, he smiled at her before looking at James. His expression grew serious as he said, "Grandpa Philips, please stop pressuring Abby. I agree with her; you should ask Grandma Sophie, not her."
