Chapter 561 A Marriage Proposal

The next morning, Abigail was abruptly awakened by her ringing phone. She frowned and impatiently answered, “Hello?”

“Miss Quinn, it’s me! Ronaldo!” the cheerful voice on the other end exclaimed.

Abigail took a deep breath and sighed in frustration. “It’s so early… Can’t you let me sleep at little longer?”

“The sun is already high in the sky! Let me tell you, Eric’s grandmother called him back and said they were coming to Eastbay to get him. I told his grandmother that I was taking Eric out to sea and that we wouldn’t be back for six months. She was furious. Do you think I did the right thing?” Ronaldo asked.

“How is Eric feeling?” Abigail gradually felt herself becoming more awake.

“He’s fine, I guess,” Ronaldo replied uncertainly. “He’s really pitiful. Not only did he fail to win your heart, but he also ended up sleeping with a woman. He’s a big star. You’d think he would have better self-awareness. Yet, he ended up in bed with some random woman!”

“Could you please lower your voice?” Abigail sat up and brushed her hair away from her face.

“Oh, it’s fine. He’s busy collecting seashells far away from me. I brought him to the sea early in the morning. Honestly, he seems to be enjoying himself,” Ronaldo replied carefreely.

“If only he could be as carefree as you, he wouldn’t have so many troubles,” Abigail murmured.

Eric had always supported her unconditionally through all her ups and downs. Even though. his emotions eventually got the best of him, causing her some trouble, she still couldn’t deny that he had always been there for her. Regardless, this was just a minor test of their friendship, and she genuinely hoped he could find happiness in his life.
