Chapter 183 She Couldn’t Stand By!
For an instant, Mabel raised her eyebrows at Abbot Houng. “Abbot, how do you…”
“You can take a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink. Same as love between them, I hope
you can
understand that.” Abbot said freely and his words hit the nail on the head.
Mabel’s look froze. “I just…”
In order to bring them together once more, she tried everything to make them encounter each other but
to no
avail. Wasn’t she wrong?
Think of it, Mabel gave a deep sign in her heart. Abbot is right. If she was doing a God–favored thing,
they
wouldn’t be on such an even worse term for three years in a row since their divorce.
Not until now, did Marbel realize that what she had done was a mistake and would cause serious

She just couldn’t wash her hands of them easily because she knew that there was no possibility at all for

Mabel was torn between sense and sensibility, like being thrown into confusion.
Abbot Houng had figured out her dilemma. “You just have to face up the face and make light of it. If they
are a
predestinated match, they won’t go separate ways.
At the moment, Henry and Nova were waiting for Mabel outside together but they were in a different

Nova was afraid that Mabel knew the truth while Henry looked unperturbed.

Before leaving, Mabel bent over Abbot Houng reverently. “Thank you for your wise counsel and I will
keep it in
my mind.”
“You’re welcome, god bless you.” Abbot gave her a smile back.
Then, they headed for home and two of them were in a state of preoccupation.
On their way back, Mabel was obviously a little down, which depressed Nova badly. She took Mabel by

and asked anxiously, “Grandma, what did you say with Abbot Houng?”
Mabel’s eyelashes fluttered but she didn’t reply to her instantly. Hesitating for a moment, Mabel finally

her mouth sighing. “I asked him about the future of you and Henry, but he just told me to take it easy.”
Nova turned melancholy when she heard that. As for Henry, who concentrated on driving and said no

Henry compressed his lips with a sulky face.
However, what irritated him, even more, was the words following.
“But…” Mabel looked perplexed. She knew Abbot Houng’s words made sense but she couldn’t stand by
and see
them parting…
“Grandma, our marriage was doomed from the start and even earlier if without you. You know Henry had
no
