I Want a Divorce (Abigail and Sean)

Chapter 706 Bringing Up The Past

"It's better if he doesn't know about it," Abigail said. "He was severely injured before because of thismatter. It took him two years to recover. I don't want him to be in danger because of me again."

Josh wholeheartedly agreed with Abigail's words. He nodded and said, "You're right. Sean hasalready done enough for us."

"Do you... Do you want to see Luna?" Abigail asked hesitatingly, unsure if Luna would refuse to seehim.

"No. You've been keeping her hidden from all of us. Isn't that what she wants?" Josh understoodLuna well. She used to be persistent, but now that she has fallen ill, she must be afraid of seeingpeople.

Hearing his words, Abigail felt relieved. Then, she immediately started to comfort Josh. "She's justfeeling under the weather now, so she doesn't want to see anyone. Once she's better, you can seeher." As for whether they could get back together, Abigail felt uncertain. After all, how could Joshaccept Luna if she suddenly had a child?

"From now on, you're with us. Even if you want to leave, you must listen to us." Simond sat on thecouch and looked at him coldly.

"Why should I listen to you?" Josh's eyes were full of disdain as he looked at Simond. "If I'm not withAbigail, should I be with you?"

Simond remained silent as his gaze fixated on Abigail.

"Josh... Just listen to him," Abigail whispered. After all, she now mostly followed Simond's decisions.

Simond smiled and said, "Your sister sometimes has to listen to me too."

"I have to go back now. If I stay out too long, I'll get caught," said Abigail as she prepared to leave.

Josh escorted her to the door. Still, he couldn't help but remind her, "At least try to find a balancebetween you and Sean. You guys have come this far. Cherish it."

"I know." Abigail hadn't really thought about how to find a balance yet. Plus, none of them knewabout Larry's existence.

After leaving the hotel, Abigail waited for a car by the roadside. She wasn't in a hurry and tried tosend a message to Sean.

'Are you asleep?'

It was almost 1 a.m., so Abigail was just trying her luck.

Soon, Sean called. Abigail answered the call while canceling the car she had booked. She decidedto walk back.

"I thought you were asleep," Abigail asked with a smile.

Sean had called her earlier, but they had almost run out of things to say. As a result, he hadn't beenable to sleep until now.

"Abigail, I can't sleep," Sean said sincerely. "After the call, I've been thinking about it. What exactlywent wrong between us?"

Hearing his words, Abigail stopped in front of a shopping mall.

Even though it was late, many people were still in the mall. There were quite a few night owls inSaraville. Abigail sat on a chair by the mall entrance and asked, "Is there really a problem betweenus?"

Sean didn't know how to answer when he heard Abigail's words. He couldn't figure out whetherthere was a problem or not.

"Sean, I'm just a bit busy now, but it'll be over soon. Can you give me some time?" Abigailwhispered to Sean. She made this call to repair their relationship.

"I never understand what you are busy with. It's not that I don't want you to be busy, but I have noidea what it is," Sean said. The fact that Abigail was hiding things from him made him feeluncomfortable.

"I was busy with those things before. You never said you wanted to know," Abigail grumbled.

"Is it the same as before, Abigail?" Sean got angry again. Alice already had an accident, yet Abigailstill refused to tell him what she was doing with Ronaldo!

"What makes it different?" Abigail expressed her dissatisfaction. She didn't text him to argue.

"Never mind. I'm going to bed," Sean said, wanting to end the conversation. He was afraid that hemight say something out of anger, leading to a breakup.

Before Abigail could respond, Sean abruptly ended the call.

Abigail sighed silently as she held the phone.

Early in the morning, Abigail decided to go for a walk. It was then that she bumped into Charlesonce again.

"How was the fish yesterday?" Charles asked Abigail with a smile.

"It was delicious." She planned to buy something as a token of appreciation for him. She never likedowing favors to anyone.

"Are you going grocery shopping?" He walked beside her and asked again.

Abigail thought Charles was actually quite nice, although a bit talkative. She wasn't much of a talker,but he always had a lot of questions.

"Yes, Mr. Horton. I often see you alone. Where is your family?" Abigail couldn't help but inquire.

"My daughter and son are both living abroad, so I'm alone here. I'm getting old and I long to be backin my hometown," he chuckled.

She realized he must have been lonely for a long time, so having someone living next door musthave brought him joy.

"Aren't they coming back for the New Year?" She looked at him.

"They have settled down abroad. Why would they come back to see me? I sometimes ask them tovisit, but they're always too busy. So, I've stopped asking," Charles finished with a sigh. "They haveall grown up. They no longer need me."

Abigail sensed his melancholy and thought about Alice.
