Chapter 203 Keep Her Safe
“How <b>much </b>do you like me?”
Abraham paused.
He realized that Ste was especially affectionate after drinking, and right now she was more irresistible than ever.
He <b>leaned </b>down, warm breath brushing her neck <b>and </b>flushed cheek.
His deep voice, with a slight rasp, whispered, “How much do you like me?”
“A whole, whole lot, she replied softly, her voice still dazed from the <b>wine</b>..
Even in her drunken haze, that simple, sincere answerpletely melted the hardness in his heart.
Just then, his phone rang.
He stood up gently. Ste had already closed her eyes, like a sleepy kitten unable to stay awake.
He answered, “Speak.”
“Mr. Abraham, as you expected, Lancelot is <b>hiding </b>in Rivermount.”
“Found him?” Abraham asked.
“No, but the man beside him, Elliot, showed up today.”
In the dim light, Abraham’s normally cool eyes glowed with danger
He <b>said </b>coldly. “Keep a close eye on <b>him</b>.”
“Yes, Mr. Abraham.”
“And…” Abraham paused, ncing at the sleeping Ste on the bed. “Assign <b>more </b>men to quietly follow her.”
By “her,” he meant Ste<b>, </b>of course.
Abel hesitated. “Should I tell Ms. Dawson not to go to the studio for now?”
“No need, <b>Abraham </b>replied.
“Understood.”
He clearly <b>understood </b>what Abraham meant; he didn’t want Ste to feel even a hint of danger
Abraham wanted her world to remain peaceful and simple. He didn’t want her to live in fear.
That year, after she identally witnessed Abraham kill someone, she almost shut downpletely
Since then, he never let her interfere with family matters.
Until Kelly and Derrick stirred up trouble.
After hanging up. <b>Abraham </b>stepped out on the balcony and lit a cigarette.
Another call <b>came </b>in.

“Yes,” he answered.
“You know how he’s feeling about Star. <b>You </b>must protect her. The child is fragile.”
Finisher
Fragile?
He turned to <b>look </b>through the ss door at the sleeping Ste.
His lips curled into a warm smile. This little girl! Fragile!
Still, he replied, “Got it.”
“I hear Derrick is heading for Rivermount. Are your men enough?”
“They are”
“Should we have Marie go with them?”
Three years ago, when some people took advantage of the chaos, Ste was forced to leave the Dawson family.
Even now, Evelyn hadn’t forgotten.
“No need, Abraham replied.
Compared to Derrick, Marie is even harder to deal with. She is a master at hiding people.
<i>If </i>she really does sneak Ste away again, there is no telling what kind of misery she has put her through.
Back when she took Ste for training, no one could find her. Ste came back as <i>if </i>she had shed ayer of skin.
“True. That girl is a handful.”
Just thinking about her daughter gave Evelyn a headache.
She is as wild as a boy and even managed to get so dark a tan. Not sweet at all.
Not like Star, so obedient and pretty in her <b>little </b>skirts.
When I got Marie, I <b>was </b>thrilled, I wanted to dress her up like a doll.
But Marie wouldn’t wear dresses. Only pants. She hated every piece of clothing I bought
“You protect <b>Star </b>well. When you’re done, bring her <b>back</b>. There’s nothing good in that Rivermount ce. I looked into her birth parents; they’re no good.”
Knowing where Ste was, Evelyn had done a thorough background check
All the secrets of the Reed family had been dug up.
<b>And </b>the trouble the Reeds were in now? It wasn’t <b>just </b><b>Abraham’s </b>doing. Evelyn <b>had </b>als
“Understood”
They exchanged a few more words before ending the <b>call</b>.

<b>Back </b>inside, Abraham saw that Ste <b>had </b>kicked off the nket again, her cheeks <b>bright </b>red.
