Not One, But Two!

Chapter 118

Chapter 118

Greg had been observing Abigail's expression. If she showed any signs of displeasure or disgust, he would readily leave with her. To his surprise, she remained smiling throughout the meal, and the joy on her face made him set his mind at ease. "Alright, you guys should go back and continue training. I'll leave with Abigail now. If I have some free time tomorrow, I'll visit you guys again."

He was pretty full. Even though Alec and the others were reluctant to part with them, they wouldn't dare to make the couple stay as they watched Greg and Abigail leave.

"Do you think they're boorish?"

"No, they're all straightforward people."

When Greg saw that she was calm, he finally became at ease.

"Take a nap in the afternoon when you go back. Also, it'll take one to two days for the paternity test to be ready. You're on leave now, so don't exhaust yourself," Greg suggested.

When Abigail saw the dark circles under his eyes, she nodded her head. "Alright."

They drove the car back to Allie's Garden. Instead of returning to his own home, Greg headed to Abigail's place and even took a rest in her room.

"Come over. I want to hug you." He stared at Abigail and made such a demand like he was a little kid.

"No. It's too warm, and I don't like it. Have a rest now. I'll go to the study and call Amy."

Obviously, Abigail wouldn't give him a chance to bed her. This man was full of vitality, and he already had enough food. As such, no one could guarantee that he wouldn't want to do something to her.

Instead, she wanted to take things slow.

In reality, Greg didn't intend to bed her as he just wanted to tease her. Upon seeing that she had some matters to attend to, he didn't insist on making her stay and directly dozed off on the bed. His stable breathing sounded soothing to Abigail. This man is always unsuspecting when he's with me. Then, she headed to the study and called Amy.

"Amy, have you prepared the computer I wanted?"

"Yes, it's ready. I'll send it to you tomorrow and have it installed. Also, Dr. Kain, someone has been investigating you recently."

Her words startled Abigail.

"Who is it? Is it a patient?"

"No. He's known to be Young Master Ethan, and he's been looking into your background."

At that instant, the image of a man's face sprang into Abigail's mind. Why is he trying to find out more about me? Could it be that the celebrity's wounds have not healed? No way. I'm certain that the surgery was successful. "Got it. I'll be careful."

After hanging up the call, Abigail took a glance at the sleeping Greg and decided to head over to the Buckley Residence. Alissa had fully recovered as her face was glowing again. Moreover, she could never sit still, so she would frequently go to the gym and exercise. Abigail decided not to disturb her. Instead, she went straight to Arianna's room. Arianna was looking for some information on the internet when she saw her mother stepping inside, so she was surprised.

"Why are you here, Mommy? Where's Daddy?"

An annoyed Abigail asked, "Why do you always ask about your daddy when I'm the one visiting you?"

With a smile, Arianna replied, "That's because Daddy is deeply in love with you now. So, he's supposed to follow you around all the time."

"You're just a young kid. Who taught you all these?"

"It's available on the internet," Arianna replied honestly.

Abigail stroked her head and said, "Will you do me a favor?"

"Yeah?"

"Help me investigate someone and lure him to a different IP address. Just make sure that he doesn't find me." Abigail didn't want to invite trouble to herself, especially when it came to someone like Ethan.

A helpless Arianna uttered, "Mommy, you can totally do this on your own. You're enslaving me."

"This isn't slavery but some training for you. Hurry up."

After passing her the information about Ethan, Abigail took a look at her daughter's room. The place was decorated like a room for a princess, and it was apparent that Greg truly loved his kids.

While working on her task, Arianna asked, "Mommy, where do you want me to lure this person to?" Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Anywhere is fine as long as it's not in Harrion. I don't want him to make things difficult for me."

"Alright." Arianna's fingers flew over the keyboard, but she soon grunted.

"What's wrong?" Abigail knew that her daughter must have discovered something.

With a frown, Arianna replied, "This guy named Ethan seems to be hacking the system of Daddy's company."

"What?" Abigail knew that both men were not on good terms, but she didn't expect Ethan to have the guts to hack into the system of Greg's company. What is he trying to do?

"Plant a Trojan horse and make sure that he can't hack into the system for a while. Tell your daddy about it later."

Her words startled Arianna. "Mommy, why don't you tell Daddy about it yourself?"

"I'm creating a chance for you to get along with your daddy."

Upon coming up with a reason, Abigail got up and returned to her own room. Initially, she wasn't planning on making a move. Even though Ethan was looking into her background, she could just tell Arianna to stop him from doing that. However, it never crossed her mind that he had the guts to hack into the system of Greg's company. Regardless, Greg was her man now. As such, she cast a holographic computer from her wrist and started working on it.

Meanwhile, Greg was sound asleep when his phone started ringing. Frustrated, he picked up the call and snapped, "Troy, you'd better really have an emergency. Otherwise, I'll transfer you to somewhere remote."

Certainly, Troy was aware that Greg would become grumpy upon waking up. If possible, he would never want to disturb his rest. However, their company was in a crisis now. "Mr. Buckley, our company's defense system is getting hacked again. Our internet security specialists are unable to fend the hacker off."

Troy almost sounded like he was crying. In an instant, Greg no longer felt sleepy. There were many secret documents in his company. If they were stolen, not only would the company be harmed, he and his mother would also get into trouble. "Contact King."

"We've contacted her but to no avail. The middleman said that King hasn't taken on any tasks for a long time," Troy said anxiously.

Greg scowled. "I don't care how much it'll take. Just increase the price. Contact her agent and tell him that I'll offer 100 million."

Upon hearing that, Troy was stunned, for 100 million was a lot of money. Nevertheless, he quickly called King's agent.

Faced with such a crisis, Greg didn't dare to be negligent as he picked up a coat and threw it over himself. He wanted to inform Abigail about it before going to the company, but when he reached the study, he saw the woman trying her best to stop the other party's Trojan horse. She was completely unaware of the man's presence.

When he saw that Abigail was so adept at using a computer, he couldn't help but recall that Arianna once told him that no one was born to be a genius, and that she had inherited her mother's intelligence.

At that time, he found the kid's words to be interesting. However, when he saw Abigail's demeanor, expression, and codes that kept flashing through the screen, he fell into a dazed state.

What kind of an amazing girlfriend have I found? Besides the fact that she's beautiful, adept at cooking, and touted to be the best surgeon in the world, she's also an expert in information technology. Is such a wonderful woman really my girlfriend?

While he was in his thoughts, Abigail's phone suddenly started ringing. When she turned her head and saw Greg standing behind her, she felt her heart skipping a beat. "When did you come? I didn't even hear your footsteps."

She subconsciously shut the computer.

Greg had seen some codes flashing through the screen, but he had no idea what those were. Upon seeing that Abigail had shut the computer, he quickly uttered, "Something has happened in the company, so I'll have to go over now. I'm here to tell you about it."

"Alright, go ahead. I'm not a kid anymore, so you don't have to keep me company all the time."

Her words slightly displeased Greg as he went over and hugged her before saying in a small voice, "Woman, you're hurting my ego, and you're making me feel dejected. A man wants to feel that he is needed by his woman."

Abigail found it funny. She had no idea how the man came up with this kind of fallacious reasoning, but it was effective. "Alright then. I need you, but I have to work now."

"Does your work require you to use codes?"

His words startled Abigail, but she still replied with a smile, "It's a side job."

"You have many secrets with you. Alright, I'll explore them in the future. Don't exhaust yourself and remember to take an afternoon nap. I'll head to the company now. Call me if there's anything."

"Alright."

It wasn't until Greg left Allie's Garden that Abigail picked up the phone. "What's wrong, Alan?"

"My goodness! You've finally picked up the call. Mr. Buckley from Buckley Group is looking for you. He wants you to lend him a hand and track down a hacker. He's offering you 100 million. Do you think you have time to take on this task?"

Alan Barlow was tempted by the money. Previously, Abigail had stopped taking on new tasks as she reckoned that she no longer had to overwork herself. Now that Greg's company was in a crisis, she immediately agreed to it. "I'm taking on this task, but I don't want 100 million. Just 10 million will do."

"Are you out of your mind? Most people increase their prices, but you're lowering it instead. It's money, Abigail!"

"Do as I say, or I won't take on this job."

"You!"

Before Alan could finish his words, Abigail directly hung up the call. After all, she could decide the amount of money she wanted to earn from her boyfriend. Alan wants to share a part of the money? In his dreams!

Then, she quickly opened up her computer again. In just a short while, the other party had broken through her interception. It seemed that the other party was not to be underestimated as well, but Abigail sneered and keyed in some programs into it. Soon, the hacker on Ethan's side was defeated as he was on the brink of a nervous breakdown.

"Damn it! It's King! Young Master Ethan, the other party has invited King to interfere in this matter. We have to retreat immediately. Otherwise, our location will be exposed."

As soon as this person finished speaking, King, who was actually Abigail, penetrated their defense system and started attacking them. After all, Abigail had never been fond of Ethan. When they were still in Marona in the past, he seemed to be suppressed by Greg. However, it never crossed her mind that he would pull a dirty trick behind their backs.

At the thought of this, she directly tossed a program at them. In an instant, the other party's computer exploded with a boom.
