Chapter 4418
“Mom, how did you know?” Abby admitted with a small smile, then muttered under her breath, “Oh—I forgot the bouquet and the jewelry Evan gave me.”
She stood up and walked outside.
Mrs. Du chuckled. “You left all the gifts he gave you in the car? That must mean you’re not that into him yet.”
Abby was already out of earshot and didn’t respond.
When she returned with the bouquet and jewelry in hand, Mrs. Du couldn’t resist teasing her again. “If your feelings for Evan aren’t that deep and you two could split up at any time, have you thought about giving Spencer a chance?
“Our families have a close bond and a good relationship. Your Aunt Chouinard and I have been friends for decades—she’s watched you grow up. Sure, she’s a bit snobbish, but that’s common in our circle. Besides, with the Du family behind you, and with your own strength—both brains and boldness—no one would dare to push you around. If you were with Spencer, your Aunt Chouinard would treat you like royalty, probably better than she treats Spencer.”
