Love Unspoken

Chapter 1516 Abigail stood there, totally out of it, staring at Oliver. She just couldn't wrap her head around what he was saying.

Landon's cold face popped into her mind. Would he really say something like that? Abigail opened her mouth and said bitterly, "Could he be lying to you just to get you to cooperate?" Oliver shook his head. "No, Landon might not always do the right thing, but he keeps his word. Plus, we don't have any beef with him. Why would he lie toabout this? There are tons of companies in Amber Bay; why pick on us? Even if he is lying, we don't have any other options right now." What Abigail really wanted to hear was that Landon was lying, so she could feel a bit better.

But she also didn't want Landon to be lying to Oliver, because that would probably drag the Vanderbilt family into it. No matter how she looked at it, it seemed wrong and pointless. This was the toughest choice Abigail had ever faced.

Oliver patted her shoulder. "Just rest at home. Don't stress about this anymore." Abigail stayed quiet, her throat feeling like it was blocked by a rock, making it hard to speak.

Oliver left, and she stood there for a long time.

Finally, she went back to her room and locked herself in, not coming out for days.

Quinn called Abigail, but she didn't pick up, and her phone stayed off.

Quinn was super worried and wanted to go to her house, but Alexander wouldn't let her, especially after what happened last tand with the Vanderbilt family now in the spotlight. Quinn could only worry at home.

She asked Alexander, "Alexander, what's Landon been up to these days?" Alexander casually flipped through a book on the sofa, turned a page, and said, "I don't know." Quinn frowned. Oliver and Landon were probably up to something shady, and Alexander knew but didn't want to tell her.

Quinn sighed and looked back at Sprout.

Sprout was happy with his walker, running around until he got tired and then sitting in it to sleep. He had two dogs to play with, and they knew nothing, living carefree every day.

A few days later, Abigail finally turned on her phone, which had been off for a long time.

After turning it on, there were several missed calls, all from Quinn.

Abigail was silent for a while, found Quinn's number, but seeing it was already eleven or twelve at night, she didn't call back.

She opened the curtains and looked at the dark night outside. It was pitch black, with only the lights around the villa shining, making it seem particularly desolate.

She sighed, turned, and walked out of the room.

Most people in the villa were asleep, but a few maids were still tidying up. They greeted her as she cdown. One maid asked, "Ms. Vanderbilt, going out so late?" "Yeah, just going for a walk nearby," Abigail said, not paying any more attention to them, and walked out on her own.

The wind outside was a bit strong, and the night was a bit chilly for this season. She shrank her neck and strolled along the path outside the villa, the streetlights casting long shadows of her figure. She hadn't walked far when suddenly something pressed against her waist from behind.

She paused, sighed helplessly, and suddenly turned around. "You guys..." Seeing the person behind her, Abigail was stunned. "It's you?" It was none other than Landon.

With the light behind him, Landon stood there, his face obscured by the backlight.

Abigail's gaze shifted down to the gun in his hand, and she couldn't help but laugh. "Is it another toy gun?" Landon stared at her for a moment. "Take a guess." Abigail didn't want to guess. After experiencing two kidnappings, she was used to such things. Seeing it was Landon, she felt a subtle sense of relief.

If Landon could still show up here to kidnap her, it meant he was temporarily safe.

Abigail didn't think he had any reason to kidnap her now.

"So, what do you want to do by kidnappingthis time?" Abigail asked.

"Get in the car," Landon instructed.

Abigail saw the car not far away, remained silent for a moment, then walked past him and got in the car on her own.

After she got in, Landon also got in and drove away.

The car was very quiet. Abigail sat in the back, occasionally looking up at the rearview mirror, only able to see Landon's glasses, or rather, just the gold-rimmed frames. Abigail asked, "Where are you taking me?" "Where do you want to go?" Landon asked her.

Abigail was taken aback, her mind going blank for a moment. "What do you mean? Are you planning to elope with me?" She thought Landon would refute her, maybe call her narcissistic, but Landon remained silent.

Abigail's expression suddenly becserious. She sat up straight, staring at him. "Are you really planning to elope with me?" "Would you be willing?" Landon asked.

His response left her speechless and her mind in chaos, unable to say a word for a long time.

"Stop joking. What new trick are you planning to play on me?" Abigail asked.

Landon remained silent.

The longer he stayed silent, the faster Abigail's heart beat. She instinctively grabbed her pants with her fingers.

After a while, she cautiously said, "Then, at least letpack my things." Before she finished speaking, she closed her eyes in frustration, even wanting to slap herself.

'What nonsense am I talking about!' she roared inwardly.

The next moment, she suddenly heard Landon say, "Do you really think I want to elope with you?" Abigail was stunned again. "What?" "Your narcissism is getting worse," Landon said.

"I knew it." Abigail laughed in exasperation, also laughing athen own foolishness. "How could I think that? I was just messing with you." After she finished speaking, the car fell silent again, and Landon ignored her. Abigail angrily turned to look out the window, her mood extremely complicated.

The car drove on a remote road, and for a while, no one spoke. Abigail watched as the road becmore and more secluded. It was a familiar experience, but she no longer felt the fear of being kidnapped. She had never been on this road, but Quinn used to frequent this place. It was a very complex mountain road, and at the top, there was a countryside estate. By the tthey reached this place, it was already daylight, almost noon.

Landon parked the car in the yard and got out.

Abigail looked around. There were r green mountains and clear waters everywhere, Looking up, she could see the mountains. It was a beautiful place. She opened the car door and got out, looking at the surrounding yard. She turned to Landon. "What is this place?"
