Love Unspoken

Chapter 1470 Abigail shot him a look. "Think two weeks is enough?" Elliot bit his lip, still looking worried. Abigail sighed, grabbed his hand, and dropped ssnacks into it. "Hey, don't sweat it. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. We just won't get hitched," she said, trying to sound nonchalant. But, of course, the nosy woman from earlier overheard.

"So, you got yourself a boyfriend now?" she chimed in.

Hearing that grating voice, Abigail clenched her fists, trying to keep her cool as she turned around. "Why are you always lurking around? Are you skind of pest?" The woman didn't take the bait, just gave them a smug look, sizing them up.

She'd been sulking after Abigail's earlier jab and was hiding out, plotting her revenge. She didn't expect to stumble on something this juicy.

Abigail with a young boyfriend, and his family not even on board? Too funny.

The woman sneered, "Abigail, I thought you'd be single forever. But look at you, a cougar now. Dating a kid? If I were his parents, I'd be against it too." Abigail stood up, grabbing a wine bottle. "Shut up! I've had enough of you!" The woman instinctively stepped back, eyeing her warily. "Abigail, your boyfriend's parents are probably here too. Start a fight, and you two are done for." Abigail snapped, "None of your business. Got nothing better to do? Go unclog a sewer or something." The woman ignored her and turned to Elliot. "Hey, kid, seriously? How can you like such a rude, old woman? If you marry her, can she even have kids?" Elliot frowned, clearly fed up. "That's none of your business!" The woman's face fell.

Elliot said, "Abigail, let's get out of here." Seeing the woman deflate, Abigail felt a rush of satisfaction. She put down the wine bottle, remembering her promise to Oliver not to cause trouble. She was just trying to scare her.

To rub it in, Abigail slung her arm around Elliot's shoulder. "Let's go." The woman watched them leave, seething. She wanted to smash the cup in her hand.

Was that guy blind? How could he like someone like Abigail? She seemed even more envious.

Meanwhile, Landon, who was chatting with someone, caught a glimpse of Abigail and Elliot arm in arm and got momentarily distracted.

"Mr. Kennedy?" someone called him.

Landon snapped back. "What?" The person teased, "See a beauty? You were staring." Landon didn't respond, just took a sip from his glass.

Abigail and Elliot found an empty table. Abigail, feeling a bit hungry, grabbed something to eat.

Elliot followed her. "Abigail, trust me, I'll convince them." Abigail seemed to ignore him, shoving a small cake into her mouth.

Elliot was about to say more, but Abigail suddenly turned to him. "Elliot, do you have a boyfriend?" Elliot blinked, confused. "No." "If you don't even have a boyfriend, why are we talking about marriage? What if you get one later and he doesn't agree? What if he wants to marry you abroad?" Abigail pulled him closer. "You're still young. Don't stress about this now." "But..." Elliot started.

Abigail cut him off, "No buts. Get your degree first, then we'll talk." She realized Elliot was too young, and she couldn't go through with it. Plus, he didn't even have a boyfriend yet. Elliot hesitated, glancing at her. He still had a good impression of her because Abigail looked like a handsman.

Elliot took a deep breath. "I don't need a boyfriend. So, would you marry me?" Abigail spat out her cake, hurriedly wiping her mouth with a napkin, leaving scream on her nose and face. "What are you talking about?" Her eyes looked a bit dazed, and with the cream on her nose, she looked kind of cute.

Elliot's expression was a bit awkward. He avoided her gaze, his cheeks slightly red.

Abigail's expression beccomplicated. "Elliot, I have to remind you, I'm a woman." "I know," Elliot replied. Abigail pointed at herself. "You know what that means?" Elliot nodded slightly.

Abigail was shocked. "Then what do you mean by what you just said?" Elliot looked up at her, blinking. "I meant it. If you marry me, I won't have a boyfriend." Abigail raised her hand to stop him. "Letcalm down for a moment." Elliot looked at her eagerly. "Did I scare you?"

"You terrified me! Aren't you..." She looked around and lowered her voice.

"Aren't you into men? How can you change so quickly?" Elliot was silent for a moment. "But I haven't found a guy I like yet, and I'm more interested in you." It had been a long tsince Abigail was this quiet.

She grabbed another cake and stuffed it into her mouth. After m chewing a couple oXtimes, she said with difficulty, "You might be too young and confused. Go hand think it over." If Elliot kept this up, there was no way she would marry him.

Her original goal wasn't to get married; it was to deal with her parents. She wanted freedom, not a husband! If she married Elliot, she might end up with a wife instead.

The thought made her hair stand on end, and she instinctively distanced herself from Elliot.

Elliot noticed her pulling away and lowered his eyes silently. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay. Don't be like that," Abigail said, forcing a smile. She tried to stay calm, but Elliot's words just now made it difficult. Elliot said, "I must have scared you. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those things." Abigail waved her hands repeatedly. "No, it's just... I don't know what to say!"
