Female Novel
Chapter 691 I Miss You
Before Abigail could say another word, Kevin's voice interrupted her. "Josh is really foolish. He'sbeen with Luna for so long. How can he still not understand how temperamental she is?"
"There's really nothing wrong, Kevin," Abigail insisted, defending herself.
Since she had already collaborated with Simond, there was no reason to involve Kevin in this mess.The weight of her debts to Sean and Luna burdened her, and she knew she could never fully repaythem.
At this point, she just wanted to stand by Simond's side alone.
If any future issues arose, the people she loved and cared about would remain unaffected.
All the causes and effects stemmed from her actions and Vincent's greed. If there were any issuesto be addressed, the Pearsons should handle them themselves.
Upon hearing her words, Kevin sighed. "You really..."
"Kevin, it's not that I don't trust you. I'm really okay. I'm in Eastbay dealing with the pearl business.Ronaldo has a batch of pearls he wants to sell at the end of the year. He helped me before, so I'mreturning the favor," Abigail said to Kevin with a smile.
Kevin simply responded with an "Oh."
She tactfully avoided mentioning Luna, neither confirming nor denying Luna's presence. He thought,Is it possible that Luna isn't really with her?
After a brief conversation, Kevin hung up the phone.
Just as he was about to turn around, he noticed Josh leaning against the door of the private room,quietly observing him.
"Why are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?" Kevin approached Josh.
"Is Luna with Abigail?" Josh, now clear-headed, showed no signs of a hangover.
"I'm not sure. I asked her, and she didn't strongly deny it. She just said she wasn't with her and thatshe was in Eastbay doing business. It didn't seem like she was lying to me," Kevin respondedseriously. Then, he asked Josh, "Do you still want to find her?"
"No, it's just that I haven't heard from her for a long time. It's as if she's disappeared," Josh saidquietly.
As he turned around to open the door of the box, Josh asked Kevin, "Why did Abigail call him?"
"Maybe she feels too busy and hasn't been taking care of him, so she feels a bit embarrassed aboutit," Kevin replied with a smile.
The two of them entered the private room and found Sean still sound asleep. Walking over to him,they sat down and leaned back on the couch, staring blankly at the TV screen.
Kevin checked the time on his wristwatch. "It's getting late. I'll take you guys back to the hotel soyou can rest."
"Okay." Josh raised his hand to massage his temples.
As they helped him out, Kevin couldn't help but gossip with Josh. "He's really heartbroken."
"Abigail has only been with him for less than a week since he came back. She doesn't tell himanything and is very secretive. Can he not be heartbroken?" Josh expressed, considering their six-novelbin
month relationship during treatment.
When Sean first came back, Josh heard him talk about his experiences with Abigail for half a year.Sean mentioned that their relationship was different from before and had made significant progress.
Given the current situation, this statement seemed ironic in light of Sean's feelings.
"Well..." Kevin hesitated, unsure of what to say in that moment.
Josh fell silent. It seemed like he had a lot on his mind, but ultimately, he chose to remain silent.
"If you want me to help find Luna, I can do that. Since Abigail won't tell us, it's not like we can't findout." Kevin raised an eyebrow at Josh.
Josh didn't respond.
Kevin understood that Josh's lack of denial was equivalent to admission.
The next morning, Abigail called Sean again.
After a night of heavy drinking, Sean, feeling like his head was about to explode, answered the calland mumbled, "What's the matter?"
He believed it was work-related.
"Are you upset?" Abigail's voice carried a hint of uneasiness.
Sean's drowsiness immediately diminished. He ran his fingers through his hair, gazing outside toobserve the brightening surroundings.
"I'm not upset. I went out for a drink last night. What's going on?" Squinting at the brightness outsidethe window, he lay on the pillow, gradually adjusting to the new day.
"I'm sorry. I called you yesterday but had to hang up due to an emergency. I intended to talk to youlater in the evening, but you didn't answer, and Kevin picked up. I've been neglecting you becauseof my busy schedule lately." Abigail sincerely apologized to Sean over the phone.
Sean felt a pang in his heart, ultimately sighing softly. "If it's not work-related, what have you beenreally busy with?"
"It is work-related. I'm dealing with Marimora pearls. Mr. Fernandez's Marimora pearls haveproduced another batch, and I'm here to purchase them," Abigail explained, having coordinated thestory with Ronaldo the previous night. When they called, Ronaldo would assist in covering up thelie.
Although Sean was aware that Abigail was not being entirely truthful, he still responded, "Then,you're busy. I'll sleep a little longer. I have a headache."
"Sean..." Abigail softly called out, a tone that seemed to touch Sean's heart, causing it to beat a bitfaster.
"What's wrong?" His tone unconsciously softened.
"Nothing. I just miss you," Abigail said with a smile.
The corner of Sean's lips curled up slightly. Propping himself up, his heart seemed to melt into apuddle. "Even if you're busy with work, take care of yourself. You don't have to worry about me."
"I know. But I was hoping you could do me a favor," Abigail began, feeling a bit embarrassed.
