The Spare Wife

Chapter 18

Once Kevin finished his speech, he caught a hint of flash inside Sean’s eyes

and quickly stopped talking. Then, he threw an invitation on the table and ran

away as though his life depended on it. Before running out the door, he

added, “By the way, Alana has signed an agreement with us. Didn’t you

mention you wanted to book her latest design? Remember to come over.”

He was eager to see how Sean would react once he found out Abigail was

Alana.

“Get out,” Sean ordered coldly.

“Okay!” With that, Kevin left, leaving Sean to skim through the contract.

However, his gaze would inadvertently land on the divorce settlement. We

had a passionate night last night, and she’s already anxious to make Kevin

her second man today. Heh, how bold of her.

Frustrated, he tugged on his tie and heard a faint ring from his phone. When

he glanced at it, he discovered Joan had sent him an invitation to East Joy

Talent’s fashion gala, along with the text, ‘East Joy Talent has sent over their

invitation! Thank you so much, Sean. I wouldn’t have gotten such an

opportunity if it hadn’t been for you. Would you like to come with me?‘

Looking at the invitation on his desk, he pondered momentarily and replied,

‘Sure.‘

Just after sending that text, he received a call from his grandmother, so he

hurriedly answered it. “Grandma.”

“Did you give Abigail the things I asked you to deliver?” Lina’s kind voice had a

trace of authority in it.

It would have been better if she had not mentioned that because it reminded

Sean of the morning. He thought that since their relationship had reached its

end, he would end it right there. Therefore, he used the excuse of helping Lina

to ask around for Abigail’s new address. However, he never expected to

bump into the scene of her and Kevin together.

He replied in a deep tone, “I’m busy and don’t have the time.”

“How could there be no time for you to do such a simple task? You can give it

to her after work!” The voice from the phone seemed somewhat angry, but

she suddenly thought of something and added, “She had been taking

medicine for three years, but nothing happened still. Is she infertile? Have you

gone for a checkup?”

Feeling vaguely uncomfortable after hearing that, Sean took a deep breath

and explained, “Us not having a child has nothing to do with her.”

As Abigail was not around, Lina did not have to pretend anymore and

scoffed. “Your grandfather is such a stubborn mule, insisting on letting her

marry you. It’s been many years since then, so you can give her the money

and end this relationship if you have no feelings for her. Also, is Joan

pregnant yet?”

He frowned. “Grandma, there’s nothing between Joan and me. I’m just taking

care of her out of a promise.”

Lina retorted silently, You even left Abigail last night. How can you say

there’s

nothing between you two? However, she said, “Fine. I know my grandson is

the most reliable, I’m saying that we can’t let a descendant of the Graham

Family stay outside.”

In other words, if Joan was pregnant with Sean’s son, he could bring the child

back. After all, they were not wary that Abigail would not accept the child. Her

sole purpose in marrying Sean was to bear his children, and since she had

not been able to deliver, they would let another woman do it instead.

Suddenly, Sean recalled that though Abigail accompanied him to the

Graham Estate every month, she seemed to dislike returning there. Besides

giving birth to his child, she was willing to do anything. So, was it because she

was forced to listen to such seemingly pleasant but truthfully hurtful words

whenever she returned there?

Even he felt like he could not stand it anymore. “Did you say you weren’t

feeling well? Stop worrying about such matters and focus on your rest.” After

hanging up the phone, he sat inside his office but could not help but grab his

keys and call Kevin. “Where did you bring Abigail?”

Then, Kevin began laughing hysterically. “How did you know I brought her

away? Did you send someone to spy on me?”

Sean threatened, “Kevin, I heard from your brother that your family company

has projects in a rural town that no one is willing to go…”

“Ahem!” Kevin choked on a cough and almost fainted from suffocation. He

yelled in frustration, “Sean, you’re horrible! Am I a friend or foe?”

“Address.” Sean immediately hung up and soon received a location on his

phone, along with an angry emoji. ‘You will regret threatening me!‘

Initially, Kevin was ready to tell him about Abigail’s real identity, but now, he

had decided not to. Since they were friends, they could just trick each other!

Sean replied to the text, ‘I don’t care.’

On the other hand, Abigail was discharged from the hospital after feeling

better. She packed her things and was about to leave when she

coincidentally bumped into Sean alighting from his car.

At that moment, she still donned the same casual outfit when hospitalized,

with Luna’s coat draped around her shoulders. No mirror was needed for her

to know how pale and dispirited she looked.

However, she was stubborn and did not want to embarrass herself before

the man. As she turned around to leave, Sean strode toward her and said,

“Grandma has something for you.” Of course, there was also something he

wanted to give her. After sweeping his gaze across her figure, he saw her

pale lips, unamused. “What happened to you?”
