Abigail was truly infuriated. She knew Brandon Piers had left the banquet with Bertha Swift, and surmised that he would take her home. But she never expected that he would spend the night at Bertha's house.
Although she also knew that the reality might not be exactly as the reporters wrote, Abigail still couldn't help but overthink.
What if it were true?
Whether it was true or not, just the thought of it made Abigail unbearable. She sat on the bed with a sullen face, her eyes growing misty, her heart filled with both resentment and sorrow.
She didn't understand why things had turned out this way. Was it necessary to part? And in such a manner!
Her heart ached, and she couldn't help but recall the scene of Bertha Swift holding Brandon Piers's arm today, and how he spoke to her in a low, gentle voice.
