Chapter 674 Do Not Harm The Lonely
After taking a moment to think, Ronaldo turned to Abigail and said, "Ms. Quinn, if you truly want meto guide you in the right direction, then listen to me. Simond is the most suitable person for this. Lethim handle the risks, and you just need to take care of your friend and her child."
"But how can I trust Simond if you don't tell me who he really is?" Abigail said in a low voice.
Ronaldo sighed, "I'm telling you, but you don't believe me. Rest assured, Simond's interest lies incooperation, not driven by financial motives or desires. Moreover, among all the people in Adral, itwas only you who rescued him. That's destiny."
"What destiny? You know about my relationship with Sean; it's not appropriate to say such things,"Abigail retorted.
Ronaldo chuckled and then became serious. "Simond has a special identity; I can't reveal it. Maybeyou have a negative impression of him, but there won't be any problems if you work with him; I canguarantee that."
After Abigail responded, she hung up the phone.
She leaned back in her chair and brushed her hair back. As she looked at the WhatsApp friendrequest from Simond on her phone, she became lost in thought.
After much contemplation, she decided to ignore Simond's friend request.
She believed there would always be another way.
The next morning, Abigail was surprised to see Josh coming downstairs for breakfast.
Josh noticed Abigail and nodded slightly. "Morning."
"Morning." Abigail sat next to him, observing his gaunt appearance, and then said, "You've really letyourself go."
Josh, holding a bowl of soup, subconsciously looked at his wrist.
His wrist bones were protruding, very noticeable.
"I know I shouldn't be like this, but I can't control my emotions," Josh sighed, explaining to Abigail.
"Forget about the past. There are so many good women out there; it's not worth it," Abigail pickedup a spoon and took a sip of soup, "By the way, after you broke up, did she ever contact youprivately?"
"I don't remember," Josh replied. When they broke up a few months ago, he drank heavily almostevery day, getting drunk to the point of losing control.
He often dreamt about her—dreaming about the things they had done in bed, in the car, and invarious other places. It felt like a ridiculous dream.
Abigail didn't ask any further upon hearing his answer.
In his current state, there was no point in asking.
Sean came downstairs and sat next to Abigail. He took a sip of water and asked her, "Are we goingback to Pendorf today?"
"Um... well," Abigail had forgotten about it and made plans to meet with Daniel today.
"You can't go?" Sean raised an eyebrow and asked.
Abigail touched her nose and said, "I was busy last night, and my brain wasn't functioning well. Iforgot about today's plan and promised to meet a client."
"Then let's meet the client first." Sean had no choice but to go along with her.
Dealing with family members was straightforward. But if a client withdrew, the entire business wasat risk.
"I'll finish the meeting in the morning, and we can go back in the afternoon!" Abigail blinked her eyesand said to Sean.
Seeing her rare liveliness, Sean nodded and said, "Okay, great. I can also take care of somecompany matters."
Before Abigail could fully smile, she saw Josh looking at the two of them with a slightly displeasedexpression.
"Alright, let's not flaunt our happiness and spare the feelings of the single people." Sean looked atJosh, still smiling.
Josh felt a pang in his heart. They weren't even flaunting their happiness, but he still felt lonely.
"I'm full. I'll go to the office first." Josh stood up.
Abigail also got up and walked with him to the door.
"What else do you want to say?" Josh asked Abigail while changing his shoes.
"Josh," Abigail called out softly.
Josh was taken aback. He turned to Abigail and felt his heart melt. "Hmm, what's going on?"
His voice quivered slightly.
Abigail used to address him coldly. This was the first time she genuinely called out to him.
"Please don't hold any grudges against Luna. Take care of yourself. Maybe she's dealing with somemental health issues and is receiving treatment somewhere out of your sight," Abigail whispered toJosh, being careful not to let her words reach Sean's ears.
"Alright..." Josh replied absentmindedly.
"Josh, you need to prioritize your well-being. Love is not essential for survival. Don't allow others tomistreat you, okay?" Abigail continued.
Josh nodded. "Okay, I understand."novelbin
Abigail watched him leave and then frowned as she turned back to the living room.
Sean looked at her and said, "Josh's situation should be much better now. He's also trying to moveon. Soon, he should be able to completely overcome it."
"Yeah, I know." Abigail nodded. She couldn't help but feel sorry for Luna; they were deeply in lovebefore.
During that time, Luna was filled with happiness, treasuring every moment with Josh.
The reason Josh struggled to move on for so long was likely because he truly understood Luna'spast affection for him.
He comprehended the depth of her love, which made it even more painful and difficult to acceptwhen she eventually let go.
"Speaking of Luna, it's quite strange that she has completely disappeared. As your friend, herabsence is peculiar. Don't you think so?" Sean added.
