Married at First Sight

Chapter

4454 She motioned for the secretary to return to work.

Once alone, Abby walked to the VIP room.

Evan had been pacing nervously. He hadn't touched the tea or snacks. He didn't know why Abby wasn't answering-was she mad? Had she misunderstood? He regretted not replying to her immediately. He just rushed over to explain in person.

She should've known Paisley was her enemy. And he'd promised he only loved Abby. Still, while waiting, he reflected. Clearly, he didn't fully understand how girls

think. He needed to learn and grow.

Next time something like this happened-even if he planned to show up in person -he'd still send a message first.

This couldn't happen again.

He turned toward the door-just as Abby walked in.

"Abby!"

He rushed over. "I want to hug you. Can I?"

He didn't wait for an answer. He pulled her into his arms.

"I'm sorry. I messed up again. I should've explained before coming here. I'm not interested in Paisley. I don't like her at all. You warned me about her, and I let her in just to see what she looked like so I could be on guard.

She confessed her feelings and insulted you but I shut her down. I told her I only want you.

I didn't know she'd record that video and send it to you. If I had, I'd have hadnoveldrama

security throw her out immediately.

Forget being a gentleman-someone like her doesn't deserve that."

Abby listened quietly. His panic and sincerity were clear.

She tried to push him away. "My sister needed me. I was in her office. I didn't

mean to make you wait. I know you don't like Paisley. I know she made that video

on purpose.

You called, but my phone died. I left it in the office to charge."

She lied. The truth was she'd left it behind on purpose.

Evan looked at her. "You're really not mad? You didn't misunderstand?"

Abby smiled. "I'm not mad. I know what kind of tricks Paisley plays. You didn't reply, and I figured you were busy. I didn't push. But next time, just send a message first-it'll help."

She didn't admit how much she cared. Or how jealous she'd been.

But deep down, her feelings for Evan ran deeper than she realized.
