Chapter 131: Upset
Seeing the look on Abigail’s face when she opened the door, Genevieve could tell she had made a mistake by inviting her to her room.
She too remembered the last time Abigail had been here, and the memory shamed her. She felt even worse knowing that she was doing the same thing even now by being with Jamal.
"Let’s go to the library instead," Genevieve said and stepped out of her room before Abigail could walk inside.
Abigail didn’t miss the flicker of guilt in Genevieve’s face, but she remained silent as she followed Genevieve down the hall.
After the incident five years ago, Abigail had not had any reason to go to Genevieve’s room especially since Genevieve had been in school and then she too had traveled out of the county shortly after.
As they walked into the library, Abigail remembered the last time she had been there with Genevieve. It had been the morning Genevieve woke her from sleep with a splash of water on her face and asked her to do her assignments.
The thought occurred to Genevieve at the same time and she sighed inwardly. She doubted there was any part of the house where there wasn’t a memory of her cruelty and wickedness to Abigail.
She didn’t deserve forgiveness. Asking for forgiveness would be too selfish of her. How could she ever ask or expect Abigail to forgive all of that?
"Let’s sit down," Genevieve said as she took one of the seats, and Abigail took the seat opposite her, wondering what Genevieve wanted to talk about.
Was it about Ryan? Or did she want to apologize and tell her the truth now?
"What do you think about Pete?" Genevieve asked, and Abigail’s brows pulled together.
