Chapter 7
Nicole’s pale face wore an expression of fear and panic, her hand gripping Eric’s as if she was drowning, clinging to the last plece of driftwood. Eric urgently gripped her hand in return. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll take you to the hospital right now.”
With that, he lifted her into his arms. As he turned to leave, he couldn’t help but glance back at the crowd. He still hadn’t seen Abigail. Nicole had mentioned seeing her earlier, so she must have left alone.
Nicole’s low, painful cries grew more urgent and harder to bear when she was in his arms. Unable to think of anything else, Eric hurried away with her.
After they left, Abigail struggled to climb out of the jostling crowd. The Ferris wheel had suddenly malfunctioned, causing the waiting visitors to panic and flee, pushing and showing each other in the chaos.
She had been caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by a group of people rushing past. More people continued to push toward her, but luckily, she was near a display board that somewhat shielded her.
Otherwise, with so many people crowded together, she might have been seriously injured or worse.

When she finally got up, rubbing the spots where she had been stepped on, she turned to look for Eric and Nicole, but all she saw was the empty cabin.
The people inside had already disappeared
At that moment, Abigall felt like she had tallen into an endless abyss. In the face of danger, Eric had only cared about taking Nicole away, completely forgetting about her!
She felt as though she was a fool for holding on for this long. Her eyes lowered, and she bitterly forced a smile.
She thought, “Abigail, enough! Erve whole years–and you still haven’t warmed his heart. What more can you possibly expect? It’s time to let go! Let him go, and let yourself go too!”
After leaving the amusement park and returning home, Abigail signed the divorce agreement she had already prepared and sent it to Gomez Group.
This time, she was really ready to set him free
The next afternoon, Eric received the divorce papers Abigail had sent
At that moment, he had just finished accompanying Nicole to the hospital. So much work was piling up at the company that he had to leave in a hurry, When Skye Wright, his secretary, handed him the papers, his face immediately darkened. He tossed them aside and irritably bogged at his tie
Abigail had really gone too far this time!
Yesterday, at the amusement park, she disappeared without saying a word, making him worry for a long time.
Nicole had been blaming herself, crying even though her eyes hurt. She felt guilty for agreeing to come, causing Abigail to misunderstand and leave.
The doctor had wamed that Nicole’s eyes couldn’t handle too much crying
And yet, after making a mistake, Abigail showed no remorse and even dared to send a divorce agreement to threaten him.
Did she really think that he wouldn’t divorce her with Derrick around?
He felt it was time to teach Abigail a lesson
“Freeze Abigail’s cards!” he ordered coldly
Skye besitated momentarily before asking, “All of them?”
Eric shot a cold glance at him.
Skye shivered. “Got it, sir.”
Abigail had been a full–time housewife, with no income. Eric was curious to see how long she could survive without her cards.
Skye was highly efficient, immediately carrying out the arder to freeze her cards.
However, Eric didn’t know that Abigail had never used the cards he had given her over the years. So, when he freee the cards, it didn’t affect her at all.
He thought that once she could no longer live outside, she would obediently come back and beg him. He would give her another chance out of respect for Derrick
He didn’t expect that she was serious this time–she was determined to divorce him.
After several days of returning to an empty house, Erie could no longer stay calm. It was just one person missing, yet the large villa felt as cold and desolate as a tomb,
Has Abigail called?” he asked darkly, turning to the housekeeper.
Eric’s expression softened slightly. “What did she say?“”
She hesitated and said, “She asked me to ask you when y
you would sign the divorce agreement.”
Eric’s face darkened instantly, a chilling air enveloping him. The housekeeper dared not speak, quickdy bowing and retreating
He angrily sat down on the couch, his chest feeling like it was burning with fire. Dialing Abigail’s number, he was ready to scold her and ask what she was trying to do,
However, after two rings, the call abruptly ended. He was stunned when he heard the busy signal on the phone
He couldn’t believe it–she actually hung upon him.
Not only that, but she had also blocked him.
When Eric tried calling again, the line was dead. His anger surged, and he couldn’t understand what had happened.
Could it be that Abigail was actually serious about divorcing him?
He felt an overwhelming sense of frustration for reasons he couldn’t explain. And the most bizarre part was that, as he struggled with his frustration, it slowly turned into….penic.
Eric realized something was wrong with him.
Taking advantage of a call from Derrick, he drove back to the Gomez residence. He had thought he might find Abigail there, but reality disappointed him
On the couch. Derrick was fiddling with a delicate antique vase.
When he saw Erie return alone, he frowned. “What are you doing back here? Where’s Abby?”
ויו
“Hasn’t she returned?” Eric lowered his eyes, hiding his emotions, and casually said, “I thought she was staying at your place these past few days,‘ Hoaring this, Derrick paused in his cleaning, his sharp gaze fixing on him. “What did you say? Abby’s been gone for days? Why? Did you upset her again?”
Eric frowned. “How could I upset her? It’s clearly her fault..”
He tried to explain what had happened at the amusement park, but his tone couldn’t help but betray his frustration.
After complaining, he frowned again. “Grandpa, you tell me. It’s just a small issue, so why is she making such a fuss about wanting a divorce? What is she really after““”
Derrick glared at Eric, almost unable to restrain himself from throwing the vase at him.
“A small issue? You think this is a small issue?” He couldn’t help but want to pry open Eric’s sloill to see what was inside. “If I were Abby, I would have divorced you Bo0 times by now!”
The amusement parktrip had been carefully planned to help Eric build a relationship with Abigail. Instead, he called over that troublemaker Nicole and, In the end, left Abigail alone for her.
Abigail had been kind enough only to send him the divorce agreement. If she had a worse temper, she might have just sent him a bomb to blow him to pieces!
“Grandpa, why are you-”
#shut up!”
Seeing Erle still stubborn, Derrick was so angry that he could only shake his head and sigh.
