Abigail dropped to her knees and burst into tears. She was surprised at how ruthlessly she drove him out of the house. She, who had never disobeyed him in the past two years, had talked rudely with him.
From where did she get this courage?
Out of anger and anguish, she drove him away from her. Even though she was hurt, she couldn't bring herself to break up with him.
Abigail had thought that she wouldn't return to him until he valued her… until he realized he needed her not for Alison's heart, but because he loved her. That resolve started to dwindle when she saw him walk out the door.
She felt as if he would never come back to her. She regretted saying those hurtful words.
"Abi…" Rachel squatted beside her and patted her on the head.
"Mamma…" Abigail threw her arms around her neck and cried. "I asked him to leave… He left… He just left."
