Chapter 349 Change of Mind
Josh found Kelly’s idea appealing, but convincing Sean was no easy task. To some extent, Abigail and
Sean shared similar personalities. Once they had formed an opinion about something, they were notnovelbin
quick to change their minds.
“You’re oversimplifying things. Sean won’t easily dispel his misunderstanding toward you with what
Uncle Vincent has done to him. Instead of reaching out to Sean, you might be better off talking to
Abigail directly,” Josh suggested as he tenderly stroked Kelly’s hair. Observing the great effort she had
put into resolving the misunderstandings between her and Abigail, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of
guilt. Kelly’s inherent self-consciousness drove her to seek the approval of others, and she would go to
great lengths to change someone’s negative opinion of her. He had often considered advising her
against such behavior but hesitated, fearing it would damage her self-esteem.
“But Abigail doesn’t like me. The more I try to approach her, the angrier she’ll get. Josh, you and her
are still friends. Can you talk to her about it? I’ll stay by Old Mrs. Graham’s side. What if it works?” She
looked at him with hopeful eyes.
He furrowed his brows. “Do you genuinely want to be friends with Abigail, Kelly?”
“I know you care a lot about your relationship with Abigail, Josh. It’s because of me that things. have
become strained between you two,” she admitted, her voice filled with guilt.
At that moment, Josh found himself at a loss for words, witnessing how Kelly consistently prioritized the
feelings of others.
“Just trust me for once.” She gently shook her brother’s hand.
Looking at her, Josh sighed and said, “Alright, but be cautious. Before you earn Sean’s favor, think
carefully about what you say.” Even though he knew that Sean wasn’t easy to talk to and was ruthless,
Josh also knew his personality; as long as one didn’t step on his boundaries, he wouldn’t hurt anyone.
“Okay!” Kelly nodded. As soon as she lowered her gaze, a glint of triumph flashed across her eyes.
When Abigail and Luna came out of the studio, they saw Josh standing not far away.
“He has been waiting all afternoon, and he doesn’t even say what he wants. He just stands there,”
Cameron whispered to Abigail.
Abigail thought, How smart of him. After all, by not disclosing the reason for his visit, Josh left Cameron
with no grounds to kick him out.
“He’s definitely here because of Kelly again,” Luna said in a hushed voice.

As Abigail descended the steps, Josh approached her and uttered, “I’d like to have a serious
conversation with you.”
Abigail responded, “If it’s about Kelly, you can just forget it.” She maintained her belief that maintaining
distance from them would lead to a peaceful life, even though events rarely unfolded as planned.
When Josh stopped her, Cameron immediately stepped in, positioning himself protectively in front of
her. With a stern expression, he warned, “Mr. Pearson, please don’t get me started.”
Josh looked at Abigail and said, “I promise this will be the last time. After today, I won’t bother you.
anymore.”
Luna grew annoyed, expressing, “Mr. Pearson, do you realize you’re causing trouble for others?
Business should be based on mutual agreement. How dare your family force Abigail to design a set of
clothes for Kelly when she had already refused?”
He responded, “It’s not about the clothes.”
Luna retorted, “Who cares what it’s about? Can’t you see that you’re causing problems for Abigail right
now?” She then attempted to pull Abigail away, intending to leave.
However, Abigail grasped Luna’s hand and turned her attention to him. “Can you guarantee that after
talking to me this time, your family won’t bother me again?” she inquired.
After hearing that, he felt somewhat uncomfortable. He nodded gently and offered an apology in a low
voice, saying, “I’m sorry.”
“Let’s talk then. Do you want it to be a one-on-one conversation, or can Luna join too?” In the end,
Abigail was still a soft-hearted person. Although she certainly disliked Kelly, her first impression of Josh
was nice. Thus, she didn’t want things to get ugly between them. Moreover, perhaps she was also
influenced by Sean’s reminder.
Half an hour later, Abigail and Josh sat in a restaurant. She didn’t order anything and asked him coldly,
“So, what do you want to talk about?” To be honest, she had a hunch that it would be about Kelly.
He explained, “Kelly went to visit Old Mrs. Graham to clear up the misunderstanding. She did
everything to please her, hoping that Sean would put in good words in front of you. After all, he was the
one who uncovered the truth. She believes that if he vouches for her innocence, you won’t harbor ill
feelings towards her.”
She couldn’t help but chuckle upon hearing this. After a moment, she nodded and inquired, “Anything
else?”
Abigail admitted that Kelly was skilled at lying and undeniably clever. In Josh’s presence, Kelly had the
knack of using her misunderstanding as a convenient excuse. As long as there was no concrete
evidence linking her to Vincent’s actions, she could continue playing the innocent card.

Abigail found it the first time she had encountered such a shameless woman.
“I don’t want Kelly to come into contact with the Graham Family. I can a*sure you there’s indeed. no
connection between what happened to Uncle Vincent and her. I’ve checked it many times. When we
found her, she was living with her adopted family, and she was leading a cautious and sensitive life.
She’s genuinely hurt that you harbor negative feelings toward her,” Josh spoke
sincerely, locking eyes with Abigail.
