Chapter 30
When the time came for most people to get off work, Ana lise had already
made dinner and a pot of locust flower tea. However, she ate nothing as she
began to peer at the entrance. “Why isn’t Sean back yet?”
Abigail glanced at Ana lise and remembered what Tom had said. She felt as if
a bunch of cotton was stuffed into her throat.
Abigail couldn’t imagine the difficulties Ana lise had to go through to come to
a completely unfamiliar city with her failing vision, as well as her inexperience
in leaving the town she lived in.
She even brought so many things with her.
Did she feel like she couldn’t make it, and that was why she wanted to see if
Abigail was fine?
She feared that Abigail would be all alone in the city.

She feared that when she passed away, Abigail still didn’t have a child, so the
latter would be left alone with no family in this world.
How could she bear to let Abigail go through that?
Abigail tried to suppress the heat creeping into her eyes as she smiled and
got up. “He’s still busy. Don’t worry, I’ll give him a call right now.”
She got up and walked into the bedroom. She rubbed her eyes and hesitated
for a long while, then dialed Sean’s number.
She made up her mind that even if she had to beg and plead, she would get
Sean to come over.
It would be enough if he could just eat a meal and drink some tea.
Unexpectedly, it didn’t take long for the call to go through. Sean said in a cold
voice, “What is it?”
Abigail was stunned for a moment, then said hesitantly, “Um, are you busy
right now? Can you come over for a meal?”
On the other end of the line, Sean frowned.
He didn’t expect her to act so quickly.
“I still have some matters to attend to.”
Seeing that Sean didn’t decline, Abigail was over the moon. She didn’t care
about why; she just feared he would escape again. “I-It’s okay. Are you in the
office? I’ll go pick you up.”
Sean was speechless.
Kevin was right. Abigail was just playing hard to get.
After hanging up, Abigail changed her clothes, then told Ana lise not to go
anywhere while she went to get Sean.
Sean was in his office, and Abigail had no problems getting there.
When she opened the door and went in, Sean was working on the computer.
There was a slight change in the look in his eyes when he saw her coming in,
but those emotions were quickly hidden from sight.
“Have a seat.”
Abigail sat down and tried to explain the situation. When she saw that Sean
wasn’t occupied anymore, she rubbed the fabric of her clothes between her
fingers.
To be honest, she was the one who suggested the divorce, so it was a little
embarrassing for her to say the following words. Her face turned bright red,
and she closed her eyes and steeled herself before saying, “Can we not get a
divorce for the time being?”
Before Sean could say anything, she hastily explained, “Wait, don’t protest yet.
I know you don’t like me, but don’t worry. I don’t like you that much either.
However, there’s a bit of an emergency on my side. My grandma is here, and
she’s under the impression that we’ve been on good terms all this while. Also,
she’s ill, so I don’t want to affect her with news of the divorce.”
“Sean, our relationship is between us, I don’t want to involve other people.”
She paused momentarily, then continued, “Please just compromise for the
time being. At the very least, let’s pretend to be good to each other in front of
Grandma. When this is over, I’ll send her home, then you can do whatever you
want. Is that okay?”
Sean didn’t expect Lina to be waiting for him, and he couldn’t help but frown.
“Is Grandma truly here?”
Abigail nodded. “Yes, she came this morning. I know that this-”
“Are you sure? That I can do whatever I want?” Sean raised an eyebrow as he
posed the question.
Abigail didn’t expect him to agree. She wished she could worship Sean right
now as she hastily nodded.
Sean pointed at the door. “I want you to get out right now.”
Abigail fell silent.
She was annoyed, but she could only turn around and leave. After all, she
was asking him for a favor.
However, before she arrived at the door, she heard his cold voice sounding
behind her. “To be clear, if either of us angers the other, the person must be
responsible for appeasing the other.”
Abigail’s eyes lit up. This was her first time feeling that Sean was human.
However, before she could praise him, her phone rang.
