Female Novel
Chapter 811 A Reunion of Old Friends
Night had fallen when Lina and Colby returned with bags in hand.
Meanwhile, Kevin had asked to meet Sean.
The four of them coincidentally met at the entrance.
"You're back." Sean was the one who spoke first.
"Are you guys heading out?" Lina, carrying a large bag, widened her eyes.
"What is it?" Abigail assisted with some of the heavy bags.
The elderly couple were quite adept at shopping—they were purchasing items all day long.
Colby explained, "We weren't sure what the kid likes, so we bought a variety of things. We lackexperience and fear he may not enjoy it, so we thought we'd bring it back for you to review."
"He enjoys everything. He hasn't had the chance to play with anything good before," Abigailresponded.
"Poor child…" Lina immediately felt sorry for him.
Colby chimed in, "Then we bought too little. The child hasn't had the opportunity to play withanything, so shouldn't we buy more?"
Sean rubbed his forehead and remarked, "You might as well bring back the entire mall. Then wewon't be lacking anything."
"I'm serious. Do you think I'm joking? Luna and Josh's child is over a year old. What about yours?"Colby began to criticize Sean. "You married Abby earlier, but you didn't want to have children forthree years. I'm counting on you, but I can't rely on you even after I'm gone!"
"Why are you speaking about him like that? The child is coming over tomorrow. Since he doesn'thave one, Abby's brother's child will have to do for now." Lina pulled Colby back.
Abigail handed the items to the maid, who followed her out. "Inform Grandpa and Grandma that weare going out for a stroll to bond and hopefully conceive this year so they can have a great-grandchild by the end of next year."
"Alright. I will let her know," the maid replied with a smile.
"Mary, I will hire a professional chef tomorrow, so you can just tidy things up and accompany mygrandparents from now on," Sean said, leading Abigail away.
Mary shook her head with a smile.
Upon arriving at the club where Kevin was, Abigail couldn't help but mutter, "He brought her here?"
"There are only a few good places. It's not a big deal," Sean said, holding her hand as they enteredthe elevator.
Abigail couldn't resist asking, "What's the woman's name? What's her family background like for aregular family to entrust their daughter to someone like Kevin?"
Sean embraced her waist and whispered, "Irene was captivated by him. There's nothing we can doabout it. And Irene's family situation is complex. Her parents don't approve of him, so hergrandparents are looking after her."
Abigail understood why Sean had been set up on a blind date with the woman.
"This wasn't my decision. It was Grandma's decision, alright?" Sean quickly clarified.
Abigail nodded. "I haven't said anything yet. Why are you so nervous?"
"I'm afraid you'll misunderstand," Sean said.
The elevator halted, and the two arrived at the designated floor.
Sean guided her into the private room, and Kevin was the first to stand up and exclaim, "Sean, youbrought Abigail here!"
"Yeah." Sean walked over, holding Abigail's hand tighter.
It was then that Abigail noticed Irene.
Irene looked at them, her gaze filled with envy.
Young women like Irene mostly envied the relationship between Abigail and Sean.
But they didn't know that Abigail had also endured heartbreak and suffering before becoming whoshe was today.
"Irene, this is Abigail. You've heard of her." Kevin gestured to Irene.
Irene obediently approached him and greeted Abigail.
Abigail hummed and nodded, unsure of what to say next.
"Cameron will be here soon," Kevin guided Irene to sit down.
Abigail couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic. "Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I'veseen Cameron. How is he?"
During Analise's funeral, he was away on an important mission and couldn't make it back.
"He's doing well. Now, he's the personal bodyguard of a big shot, but it's quite dangerous. Hetravels all over the world," Sean replied.
Abigail was slightly surprised upon hearing that. "That's impressive."
"Indeed, but his marriage has hit a rough patch," Kevin whispered.
Abigail looked at Sean.
Sean held her hand, lowering his voice as he explained, "Because he was too busy, he missed outon his wife giving birth and didn't return home for several months. Plus, another woman has hereyes on him, which is why they're having some issues."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the private room swung open.novelbin
Abigail turned to see who it was.
Cameron had indeed matured a lot, looking more stable and dignified in a suit that enhanced hishandsome appearance.
"Abigail, it's been a while." Cameron closed the door and smiled at Abigail.
"Cameron, you've really matured." Abigail stood up, walked over, and observed him. "You're lookinggood."
"You don't blame me, do you? I was on a mission abroad during your grandmother's funeral andcouldn't make it back," Cameron explained apologetically to Abigail.
He stood tall and strong, with his head bowed like an obedient dog.
"There's no need to blame yourself. Grandma doesn't blame you, either. Come, have a seat,"Abigail said, leading him to the couch.
"It's great to see you all doing well," Cameron sincerely said, his gaze shifting to Sean.
Abigail cleared her throat. "I heard you and Isla haven't been getting along?"
"I've been too busy this year. I missed out on her giving birth and wasn't there during her recovery.She's been upset ever since. Her family thinks I'm not good enough. It's really frustrating." Cameronsat down, looking helpless.
