Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 866 You Guys Are Really Dogs

With Damon and Alfie joining the group. the gathering became livelier. Damon, married for years, didn't pay much attention to Valentine's Day, but the enthusiasm of the group stirred his interest.

"Design for the merchant's boats? Can a well-designed boat really move my wife? How do we quantify this emotional value?" Damon, utilizing all his intellect, couldn't grasp the concept.

Alfie, rubbing his nose, pondered for a while. "The merchant's boat designs aren't that impressive; yachts would be better.”

"Let's be resourceful; aiming to match the luxury of yachts would be a fascinating challenge,” Sean was determined to use the merchant's boats for his design.

"Are you in love?" Damon looked at Alfie, noting his shift in focus to family over the years and unaware of Alfie's romantic life. Alfie's smile was uncontrollable, looking blissfully foolish. "Yeah, my wife is so cool. I'll introduce her to you guys on Valentine's Day!" "I can tell; you're henpecked,” Kevin remarked teasingly.

“Better henpecked than a flirtatious turnip who can't even win over a simple designer," Alfie hit back sharply.

Kevin felt this gathering was particularly joyless. He clung to Xavien, expressing mock affection. “Now, only you are with me." "Sorry, I'm a bachelor. That's different from you,” Xavien politely smiled.

Kevin released him with an exaggerated eye roll. "Wait till you're old and alone—"NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

'I've lived freely for decades. Suffering in old age seems fair," Xavien's smile grew more annoying.

Kevin flared his clothes open with a sneer. "Fine, you bunch of dogs, hurry up and think how do we calculate this 'heart-moving' value!” "If you don't want to die here, speak respectfully," Sean threatened, having been called a dog

Kevin snorted. "So many eyes are watching. Do you plan to murder your dear brother?"

"He's so cheap.” Alfie couldn't help but comment.

Aside from Kevin, everyone nodded in agreement.

Just then, Josh hurriedly arrived, bringing along his beloved son, Larry.

"There, someone even brought their son. Kevin is going to bleed from jealousy.” Alfie mocked cheekily.

"You'll definitely be the last in this Valentine's Day contest.” Kevin cursed venomously.

"Ah, using curses because you can't win an argument." Alfie was exasperated.

Sitting down, Josh amiably inquired of Sean, "Sean, did you need something from me?"

"Want to join us for Valentine's Day?" Sean leaned back, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

Josh raised an eyebrow. “The way you put it sounds interesting.”

Kevin and Alfie mischievously pinched Larry's cheeks and hands.

Larry pouted, furrowing his brow. "Dad!"

"Wow, he can say ‘Dad'!" Alfie exclaimed in surprise, his expression as dramatic as if seeing a child for the first time.

Kevin also found it fascinating.

The boy was only two years old, yet his expressions were so varied.

Josh lowered his head and rubbed it against Larry, asking, “What's wrong?”

"Bad!" Larry pointed at Alfie and Kevin, showing his displeasure.

‘Hey, you Iitle guy, how can you say we are bad? Once you recognize-us, you'll get more pocket money worth millions. We aren't bad; we are your god bof wealth," Alfie coaxed Larry.

Kevin chimed in, "Exactly. When you grow up, you'll know our goodness."

"Doesn't this look like two old wolves deceiving a little bunny?” Cameron whispered to Xavien.

Xavien found his comment quite apt.

Damon, not very fond of the Pearson Family, opted for silence

Sean and Josh discussed their Valentine's Day plans, while Alfie and Kevin were tasked with entertaining Larry. In no time, Larry warmed up to Alfie and Kevin, sitting with each for a while.

When sitting next to Damon, Larry looked up with his round, gleaming eyes.

Damon felt somewhat awkward.

Yet, Larry was undeniably adorable, reminiscent of a porcelain doll.

"Hello there..." Damon greeted him hesitantly.

Larry reached out and tugged at his face, saying, "Good! Good!”

Touched by the tender little hands on his face, Damon thought of his” daughter, who had been born tovhis wife, and impulsively suggested to Josh" “How about setting upa baby betrothal?" : to

Caught in the midst of discussing boat designs with Sean, Josh was almost choked by his saliva upon hearing this. "That's up to my wife. If she disagrees, I can’t do much."

"Arranged child marriages seem problematic; they always end badly in dramas,” Alfie expressed his disapproval of the idea "The child's own will is more important," Sean stated succinctly.

Damon laughed. "I just blurted it out because Larry is so adorable; he’s truly mesmerizing.”

Hearing the praise for Larry, Josh couldn't help but beam with joy. "Thank you."

Larry dissolved any slight awkwardness between the two
