Chapter 195: Possessiveness
Sophia’s expression softened with sympathy as she listened to Abby’s words, a pang of sorrow echoing in her own heart at the pain her friend was experiencing. "What did you see?" she asked gently, her voice a comforting presence in the midst of Abby’s turmoil.
Abby took a shaky breath, her hands trembling as she reached for her phone, the images still burned into her memory like a searing brand. With trembling hands, she handed the device to Sophia, unable to bear the weight of the truth it held any longer
Sophia looked at the pictures, her brows furrowing in concern and recognition. It seemed like the photos were captured from a CCTV, but the woman in them looked oddly familiar. A sense of realization dawned on her, and her eyes widened in shock as she made the connection.
Abby watched Sophia’s reaction closely, her heart racing with anticipation. "Do... do you know who she is?" Abby’s voice trembled with a mixture of fear and hope as she waited for Sophia’s response.
Sophia took a deep breath, her mind racing as she considered her next words carefully. "Yes, I think I do," she admitted, her tone grave. "But can I give you some advice first?"
Abby’s brows furrowed in confusion, but she nodded, eager for any guidance Sophia could offer in navigating the turmoil of her emotions.
"Of course," Abby replied, her voice tinged with uncertainty.
Sophia paused, gathering her thoughts before speaking. "Before jumping to conclusions or making any decisions, I think you should talk to Remo," she suggested earnestly. "Communication is key in any relationship, and there may be more to this than meets the eye."
Abby’s heart clenched at the thought of confronting Remo, the pain of betrayal still raw and fresh in her mind. But deep down, she knew that Sophia was right. She couldn’t let her emotions dictate her actions without giving Remo a chance to explain.
With a shaky nod, Abby swallowed the lump in her throat, steeling herself for the difficult conversation that lay ahead. "You’re right," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. "I... I need to talk to him."
"Yes, and it shouldn’t be on the phone," Sophia affirmed, her tone firm yet empathetic. "Wait for him to come home. I know it’s painful, but I’ve known Remo for years. He wouldn’t intentionally hurt you. He looks at you like you’re all he sees. He probably doesn’t even realize it, but he is in love with you. A man in love like Remo wouldn’t do anything that would make him lose you."
Abby absorbed Sophia’s words, feeling a glimmer of hope amidst the turmoil of her emotions. She nodded slowly, a faint flicker of determination igniting within her. "You’re right," she murmured, her voice tinged with both apprehension and longing. "I’ll wait for him."
