“Good morning.”
1/8
Abigail took the initiative to greet Felix, and they waited for the elevator together.
“Are you going for your morning run?”
Abigail shook her head. “I’m going out to buy some groceries and make breakfast. Have you eaten it yet? Do you want to join
me?”
She felt guilty. She had invited Felix to dinner twice. One time, it was ruined by Diana, and the other time, he threw up so badly
that he didn’t eat much.
He raised his eyebrows. “Sure. I’ll go shopping with you.”
Abigail and Felix went together to the supermarket downstairs in the residential compound, where there was a variety of goods.
He pushed the cart. She picked a pumpkin and planned to make pumpkin soup and two side dishes.
The pumpkin soup was delicious and, most importantly, easy to make.
“For the past few years, have you prepared a nutritious breakfast for your ex–husband every morning?”

Stunned by Felis’s question. Abigail couldn’t help but laugh at berseli
“Although I learned to cook breakfast for him, he didn’t like it at
At that moment. Abigail’s cell phone rang.
As soon as the call was connected, the angry voice of her father,
harles Taylor, came from the other end.
“Abigail! Where are you now?”
“What’s the matter?”
“Come home right now!”
Before Abigail could reply, the call was hung up.
Evidently, her family knew that she was getting a divorce.
She glanced back at Felix with an embarrassed expression.
He shrugged and said, “I’ll take your stuff back for you. Take care of your matter first. By the way, send me a photo of your ID information. I’m going to deal with your divorce in a while.”
Abigail said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I invited you to have breakfast with me, but it was ruined. Next time, I
will make a big
meal to thank you.”

“I’ll remember that.”

It was eight o’clock in the morning when Abigail returned to the Taylor Villa.
As soon as she entered the villa, Charles and his wife, Laura Taylor, sat on the sofa with long faces.
At the sight of her, Laura quickly stood up and approached her.
“Abigail, you’re finally back. Did you have a quarrel with Anthony?”
Abigail went up to Charles and drew Laura to a seat.
“Dad, Mom, did Anthony tell you something?”
In annoyance, Charles slammed the table.
“Early this morning, the Robinson Group cut off our funding. Now, the company is in crisis. If you hadn’t quarreled, why would Anthony have made this decision?”
Abigail clenched her fists.
When she married Anthony, the Taylor family, who were on an equal footing with the Robinson family, even gained the upper hand.
But the Taylor family had been in decline for the past two years and really needed the support of the Robinson family.

But when the Taylor family was doing well, they helped the Robinson family a lot.

Abigail didn’t expect that Anthony was so despicable as to use this method to force her to compromise.
However, she was even more convinced that divorce was the right choice.
At that moment, Abigail could no longer hide it from her family.
She gazed at Charles and Laura seriously.
“Dad, Mom, in that case, to be honest, I’m going to file for divorce.”
“What?” Laura was shocked and worried about Abigail.
Charles slammed the table in a fit of exasperation again. “How dare you!”
Abigail, who had anticipated their reaction, had no intention of giving in.
“I’m serious. This time, I want a divorce no matter what.”
“What about Marcus? He is so little. If you get divorced, who will raise him?” Laura was anxious.
“I’ve decided to leave Marcus to Anthony. I only want half of our property, nothing else.”
Chapter 17 Don’t Call Me Dad Charles panted heavily.

“That’s enough! How far are you going to take your conflict? You can’t divorce anyway. I won’t agree!”
“Dad!”
“If you insist on a divorce, don’t call me Dad!”
Furious, Charles covered his heart with his hands. Laura
hurried forward to support him.
Abigail understood that this was the most difficult time for the Taylor family. Without the financial support of the Robinson family, they might face bankruptcy.
In addition to the Taylor family, it was about the livelihoods of hundreds of employees across the company.
But Abigail had already made sacrifices for the Taylor family for years, and now she really didn’t want to endure it anymore.
She begged Charles and Laura in tears.
They were both stunned.
“Dad, Mom, I realize that my decision is very selfish, but you have no idea what I’ve been through over the years. I usually only tell you good news and hide the bad. Do you know that just a few days ago…”
When talking about the fire a few days ago, Abigail still felt a
Chapter 17 Don’t Call Me Dad
lingering fear.
People were always weak in front of their parents.

Laura noticed that Abigail hesitated to speak. “What happened a few days ago? What’s been going on all these years? Aren’t you always a loving couple?”
For a moment, Abigail didn’t even know where to start.
Disappointment was never caused by one thing but by the accumulation of innumerable things.
She was determined. “Anyway, I must get a divorce.”
Charles and Laura didn’t persuade her anymore.
With a straight face, he got up and went upstairs. Laura pulled her to the sofa.
“Your father is worried about you and the company. Don’t blame him. After all, there are still hundreds of people who rely on him for a living.”
“Mom, don’t worry. I will try my best to negotiate with Anthony so as not to affect the company.”
Staring at Abigail, Laura couldn’t help but shed tears.
“Tell me the truth, is it because of Michelle? Did Anthony cheat on you?”

Abigail lowered her head in silence.
Emotional infidelity was as disgusting as physical infidelity.
Laura slapped her thigh angrily.

“What a bastard! How could he betray you? When he was disabled, you took care of him by his bedside, but Michelle had already left him. How dare he!”
The more Laura spoke, the more she felt sorry for Abigail, and she wept nonstop.
Abigail wiped the tears from Laura’s face and hugged her in her
arms.
“Mom, it’s okay. It’s all over.”
It took Laura a long while to compose herself, and then she disengaged herself from Abigail’s arms and gazed at her.
“However, you have been married for so many years. Are you. really getting a divorce? Abigail, sometimes, you can live an easy life by turning a blind eye.”
Abigail had thought about this before. Even if it meant
sacrificing herself, she had to let Marcus live with his parents. But that fire made her change her mind.
Making concessions for the sake of others would only bring her contempt.

“Mom, I want to start my life over. I will definitely get a divorce.”
When Marcus was sent to the kindergarten, the parent–child party was about to begin.

The other children, accompanied by their mothers, arranged the scene in an orderly manner.
