Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1657

"Say yes, say yes!"

"Get together! Give her a kiss!"

From a distance, Sienna and Lincoln cheered enthusiastically, enjoying the moment.

"Hey!" Taylor shot them an embarrassed glance, suddenly unsure of where to put his hands. "Abigail, enough. Just because you're having issues with your boyfriend doesn't mean you can use me to fill the gap."

"Who said I'm using you?" Abigail's voice rose, her tone turning serious. "I mean it, Taylor. I like you. I want to be with you. So, what do you say? Can I pursue a relationship with you?"

"W-Wait, what? Since when do women chase men?" Taylor stammered, clearly thrown off by the sudden confession.

"Well, it's happening now, so what do you think?" Abigail's gaze softened, her eyes sparkling with hope, adding a surprising charm to her otherwise tough exterior.

"I… I…" Taylor struggled to find his words, looking around nervously. In a panic, he pointed behind her and blurted, "Hey, look, a spaceship!"

Abigail turned instinctively. Apart from Helen and the children, there was nothing but a vast, empty sky.

Taking advantage of her distraction, Taylor bolted.

When Abigail turned back, all she saw was Taylor's silhouette disappearing around the corner.

"Taylor!" she shouted, stomping her foot in frustration. "You coward! Go ahead and run! No matter how far you go, I'll track you down!"

Before confessing her feelings, Abigail had prepared herself for rejection. Of course, it would have been ideal if Taylor had said yes, but instead, he'd somehow found a third option.

There was no denying it—she was smitten. With her heart set on Taylor, she'd simply have to endure his antics.

Helen couldn't hold back her laughter, teasing, "Go get him! We're all rooting for you!"

Without warning, tears sprang to her eyes, and she began to cry, as if a painful memory had suddenly resurfaced.

At the sight, Lincoln's expression shifted, instinctively becoming more serious.

The man knelt beside Ivy, offering her comfort as she wept for a moment. He then gently helped her to her feet before turning his attention to Helen.

"You must be Ms. Terzian. I'm Kevin, Ivy's brother," he said, his expression reserved and a hint of sadness in his eyes. "Thank you for caring for Ivy during this time."

"It's my pleasure. Ivy is very well-behaved; I hardly had to worry," Helen replied, recognizing him from the photos she had seen.

"I returned a few days ago but was preoccupied with family matters. Now that everything is settled, I'm here to take Ivy back with me. I plan to move abroad for good," he explained briefly.

Helen nodded in understanding. "Of course, family should be together. It's for the best."
