Chapter 254 Willingly Became His Mistress

Eric’s eyes drooped, and with a few shifts, he appeared troubled.

Abigail felt somewhat resigned.

The night breeze tousled her soft hair, and she raised a hand to tidy it up. decided what to ask, I’ll head

He felt a sense of urgency and reached out to grab her wrist. “Abigail.” He called out and immediately r

y I didn’t inform you!”

Josh had told him they would apologize together to Abigail once the time was right. However, he did not

want that. He could not stand the days of dating Kelly as he did not like her.

“Finding her is a good thing. Why apologize? This way, I can finally relax. After all, you insisted on

treating me like the Pearsons‘ daughter, which was quite a burden and made my gron

uneasy.” Abigail stopped and smiled. Her smile was completely genuine, with no pretense.

Eric took a step closer, looking into her eyes. “It’s our fault for being so reckless, causing you trouble. B

ut even though the Pearsons

have found their lost daughter, our relationship remains the same. You can still call me ‘Eric‘. If you nee

d anything, just hit me up, and I’ll come to side.”

She knew precisely what he meant by this subtle message. “To be honest, being mistaken for the Pear

sons‘ daughter brought me plenty of benefits from you all. I appreciate your help, and I think the mistak

e was a stroke of luck. I don’t want to cling to a fortune that doesn’t belong to me and trouble you furthe

r,” she politely declined. He wanted to say more, but she continued, “Eric, this is the last time I’ll call yo

u that. We’re from different worlds and cities. I’ll never forget your help, but I

also want to continue and lead my life. Thank you for taking care of me.”

With that, she turned and walked into the hotel. At that moment, she realized that Eric might have a slig

ht fondness for her, which began from a mistaken identity. He should have a marriage alliance with the

Pearsons, provided that Sean did not lie to her. In that case, Eric should return to his circle and treat th

e Pearsons‘ found daughter well rather than coming to her.

She would be thrilled if the elders from both families were friendly to talk to and decided not to see her t

rouble. Yet, what if they found her and Eric’s relationship too complicated and felt enraged?

Moon was at the height of its career and could not afford any mistakes. Just dealing with Sean was givi

ng her a headache, let alone the combined forces of the Davidsons from Capitalis and the Pearsons. L.

Moon could not handle it, and neither could she.

Eric watched her as she walked into the hotel step by step, his hand slowly forming a fist by his

side.

The following morning, Abigail received a call from Ronaldo when packing her bags. She did not want t

o trouble him to take her to the airport, but little did she know that his timing was perfect.

She answered the call and chuckled in a relaxed tone. “Up so early? I was planning to leave quietly. Ho

w did you catch me so easily?”

“Don’t be so relaxed, pretty. Hurry! Pack your bags and switch rooms. Eric’s fans have infiltrated the ho

tel. If they catch you, it’ll be a big problem!” He sounded worried, like an anxious kid.

“What?” Abigail had hardly finished speaking when the room’s doorbell rang urgently.

She held her phone, gazed at the door, and listened to Ronaldo’s explanation. “Did Eric hold your hand

at the hotel last night? I know there’s nothing between you two, but the paparazzi twisted the story and

posted it online. It’s already trending. Some media have revealed his engagement to the Pearsons‘ hei

ress in Capitalis. They said you willingly became his mistress!”

“I’ve got someone ringing my doorbell. Can you contact hotel security?” Abigail was not panicking. After

all, she was in a high–end hotel, and Eric’s fans could not harm her.

“I’ll

get in touch with them. Stay in your room. I’m coming in a few minutes!” Ronaldo said and hung up.

She ignored the doorbell and continued packing.

Ding!

Within just two minutes, her room’s door unlocked with a click. Abigail’s heart tensed, but it quickly drop

ped when she saw Sean. “You…”

“Come with me. Kevin, help her pack her bags!” He approached and grabbed her wrist, leading her out

side.

“I’m almost done packing,” she said in a hurry. She knew Kevin was unfamiliar with how much she had,

so she worried he might miss something.

“There’s no time. Many reporters and Eric’s fans have taken the elevator up. First, come into my room t

o hide,” Sean explained with a serious expression.

“Don’t worry, Abigail. I’ll make sure your luggage is safe.” Kevin gave her a rea*suring smile at the

door.

She stepped out of her room just as the faint sounds of commotion came from the direction of

the elevator.
