Chapter 773 The Whip

Colin didn't say much after that.

After going downstairs with Abbot, he told Rebecca's mother that he had already called and explained the situation to Rebecca's father.

Rebecca's mother was a bit puzzled, but when she heard Colin say that he had already informed Rebecca's father, she didn't stop them and walked them out.

In the car, Abbot leaned forward, his hand resting on the back of the driver's seat, and asked, "Colin you didn't call Mr. Black, did you?"

Colin raised his eyebrow slightly and said, "Do you think I'm someone who has no manners?"

Abbot pondered for a moment and said, "Well, in this aspect, you're doing okay."

When it came to dealing with elders, Colin was absolutely impeccable.

He wasn't pretending, but he was genuine and gave heartfelt respect to the elders.

Seeing that Colin remained silent, Abbot didn't continue to ask either. He leaned back and closed his eyes to sleep.

Colin glanced at the rearview mirror and took off his coat, tossed it to the back.

The coat hit Abbot, who suddenly opened his eyes. "Huh?"

Colin smiled and said, "Cover yourself. Don't make your flu get worse."

Abbot twitched his lips into a smile and replied, "Not bad, our Colin knows how to be considerate."

"Shut your mouth and don't talk." Colin finished speaking and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. "By the way, where should I drop you off? The Carters' mansion, or your place?" Abbot didn't say a word.

Colin raised his eyebrow and sounded confused, "Huh?"

Abbot remained silent.

Colin looked at the rearview mirror and asked, "Did you become mute?"

"Didn't you tell me to shut up?"

Colin playfully scolded, "Since when you have become such a good boy? Just because I told you to shut up and you are doing so?"

"In front of Mr. Farrell, I dare not speak much, fearing that talking too much might lead to my demise."

Colin chuckled softly, "Don't be too mean. So, where am I taking you?"

Abbot replied, "Definitely back to the mansion. With my current condition, I need to go back and make my presence in front of my mom, you know, seeking for..."

Abbot had originally intended to say "seeking for his parents' love", but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized something and fell silent.

He ended up scolding himself, "Damn, what a slip of the tongue."

Colin teased, "Well, your emotional intelligence has improved ever since you are getting into a relationship."

Abbot pursed his lips and awkwardly glanced at Faye's reaction in the rearview mirror.

Faye looked up and smiled gently, "I'm not that sensitive."

"Come on, it's not about you being sensitive or not. I can't get past that hurdle in my own heart."

Faye's smile deepened, "Then... Would you like to apologize to me?"

Abbot got the cue and said, "Faye, I'm sorry."

Faye smiled in response, "It's alright. I forgive you."

Colin narrowed his eyes playfully and said, "How did you call her Faye in your apology?"

Abbot took the opportunity to provoke, "Are you envious? Or jealous?"

Colin teased, "Neither, just afraid you'll meet your demise from saying too much."

As they spoke, the car arrived at the Carters' mansion.

Colin parked the car and asked Abbot to get out, "I have two boxes of wine in the trunk. They're good. Take them for your father."

Abbot nodded, grabbed the two boxes of wine from the trunk, and walked into the house.

Upon entering the living room, he saw Camila sitting on the couch with a stern expression.

Seeing his mother's displeased face, Abbot set the wine down and spoke, "Mom, I'm back." Camila responded with a scoff, "Hmm."

That "hmm" made Abbot shiver.

Stepping forward, Abbot tried to appease her, "Mom, who gets you upset?"

After speaking, seeing his mother's lack of reaction, Abbot started playing the sympathy card, "Mom, catching a cold from getting rained this time made me truly understand what it means when illness strikes suddenly. You don't know, I..."

Camila turned her head to look at Abbot, cutting in ruthlessly, "Are you that weak?"

Abbot was puzzled and he asked, "Huh?"

His mother sneered, "Aubree, bring over the things that the Blacks sent."

As her words fell, Aubre brought out six large boxes within a short while.

Abbot's lips twitched. "From the Blacks?"

Camila nodded with a scornful smile, an expression that left Abbot feeling uneasy.

Swallowing nervously, Abbot asked, "Mom, what are those?"

Camila coldly chuckled, "Which box are you referring to?"

Abbot pointed casually and said, "That one."

Camila turned her head and looked at Abbot with extreme sarcasm, saying, "Deer antlers and... Whips."

As her words fell, the living room fell deathly silent.

A few seconds later, Abbot took in a sharp breath.

Deer antlers would help to boost fertility and fortify the waist and knees.

Clearly, at Abbot's age, he was young and strong. There was absolutely no need for waist and knee fortification. Since these items were not meant for strengthening his waist and knees, the only other option was the first one. Abbot struggled to swallow and said, "Mom."

Camila coldly chuckled, "Don't call me. I am not qualified to be your mom."

Abbot quickly waved his hand and continued, "It's not like that, please listen to my explanation..."

"You don't need to explain to me. You shouldn't explain it to me either. Think about who you should explain it to..."

The arrival of several boxes of health supplements turned the Carters upside down.

By the time that farce was over, it had been three hours.

Abbot returned to his bedroom and immediately called Colin.

Colin picked up on the other end, his voice was low and tinged with a laugh, "Speak."

Abbot stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, frustrated, and pulled at his hair while he said, "What did you tell Mr. Black?"

Colin chuckled lightly, "If you want to know, go ask Mr. Black yourself." With that, he hung up the phone directly.

After the call ended, Colin turned the steering wheel and his smile deepened. His phone, placed on the center console, vibrated twice.

Colin glanced down and saw that it was a WhatsApp message from Abbot. He turned to Faye and said, "Honey, could you check what Abbot sent me?"

Faye picked up the phone and opened the message. Upon seeing the photo Abbot had sent, she burst into laughter.

"What's going on?"

Faye turned the phone screen toward him and said, "Take a look for yourself."

The photo Abbot had sent was of the health supplements that Rebecca's father had given him. It was a close-up shot, and the labels on the boxes were quite prominent. Colin commented, "Mr. Black is quite ruthless."

A few minutes later, the car arrived at Fennth Community.

As Colin and Faye entered the gate, Cindy approached with a smile and said, "Guess who came today?"

Before Faye could answer, Carlotta, who was sitting on the couch stood up.

Seeing Carlotta, Faye's eyes lit up, "Carlotta."

Carlotta smiled and asked, "I heard from your uncle that you went for a medical check-up at the hospital today?"

Faye nodded, "Yes, just finished."

"How are the results?"

Faye smiled and replied, "Everything looks good, but there are a few test results still pending."

Carlotta reached out and held her hand as they both took a seat, "No need to worry. I'm sure you and Colin's body are just fine."

Faye blushed and spoke candidly, "Yes, we're just preparing for pregnancy, so we're getting checked for peace of mind."

After changing his slippers, Colin walked over and greeted Carlotta, "Carlotta."

Carlotta smiled in return and said, "Are you busy these days?"

Colin walked over to the armrest of the couch where Faye was sitting and took a seat. Then, he answered with a smile, "It's manageable, not too busy." Carlotta replied, "Aren't you planning the wedding? You two should take a few days off when you can."

Colin agreed, "Sure."

As he was about to continue, his phone, which was in his pocket, started to ring.

Colin took out his phone and glanced at it. He saw an unfamiliar number and swiped the screen to answer, saying, "Hello, who's this?"

After a moment, a sweet and playful voice came from the other end, "Mr. Farrell..."
