Abigail Green came out of the nursery holding Teddy; the little guy had fallen asleep again.
This time, however, he slept soundly.
Kennan Max had already explained the truth to Noel Roberts. As Noel had predicted before, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, having been misled by both Abigail Green's emotions and Pullan's words.
His previously charming and unrestrained face now showed rare signs of annoyance. He coldly returned to the car.
Kennan Max escorted Abigail Green back to the Piers' Mansion.
To Abigail's surprise, the Piers' servants, who had originally seemed to vanish from the world, returned to the courtyard, each going about their duties as if nothing had happened.
Grandfather Piers, dressed in a blue-gray Zhongshan suit, leaned on a chair in the central hall. When he saw Abigail carrying Teddy inside, he stood up with his cane. "How is Teddy?"
"He's fine. He's asleep," Abigail replied softly.
