The Spare Wife

Chapter 652 Apology

Upon hearing this, Alice nodded and remarked, “They’ve been here for quite a while without having a good time. It’s time for them to relax.”

Instantly, Sean and Abigail were delighted.

But before they could fully enjoy their happiness, Alice continued, “You still need to be careful about what Sean eats. He can’t eat everything like you. There are many things he can’t eat, do you understand?”

Sean felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this.

It had been a long time since he had eaten seafood, and he couldn’t help but miss what he used to enjoy.

Abigail glanced at Sean and said, “It’s already great to be able to go out.”

He was always on the move. But for the past few months, he had been stuck in Alice’s place. It would be a lie if he said it wasn’t tough.

There were no entertainment activities here, and even the use of mobile phones was restricted. He was bored to death.

Sean thought Abigail made sense.

“Then I’ll come pick you up tomorrow!” Ronaldo ;diately chimed in.

The days flew by in Eastbay. Abigail familiarized herself with the local customs and culture.

In June, Sean’s condition had significantly improved since his arrival at Alice’s. However, L.Moon faced a serious issue.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

A mole within the company eluded Luna’s detection, and the clothes they had produced were circulating on the internet before the fashion show.

This wasn’t the first occurrence of such an incident.

The business partner insisted on meeting Abigail in person to address the matter.

During dinner, Abigail informed them, “I have to go back for half a month. There’s a big problem in the company.”

Alice didn’t mind. Before they arrived, she had heard from Ronaldo about the identities of the two. Both were big shots in major companies, and the fact that the company had been running smoothly for such a long time without them was already rare.

Sean felt a bit reluctant. They had been together all this time, and now that they were about to separate, he couldn’t help but feel a bit down.

Abigail reassured him, “I’ll be back as soon as I’m done with work, don’t worry.”

“Yeah, sure.” Sean found it difficult to ask her to stay. Originally, when they came to Alice’s place, they hadn’t even confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend. The fact that she stayed with him for so long without leaving was already considerate enough.

After dinner, Abigail packed her things, occasionally glancing at Sean, who was on his phone.

“Listen to Alice’s advice. Your current situation is already good. Just hold on a little longer, and you’ll get better,” said Abigail. She didn’t have much to pack, just a few clothes.

But Abigail never lacked clothes, so it was fine to leave them here.

Sean looked up and suggested, “You should go back and take care of things. I can manage on my own. It’s okay.”

His words unintentionally carried a hint of resentment, making Abigail feel uncomfortable.

“The situation at the company is quite serious. I have to go back now, but I’ll come over as soon as I’m done,” Abigail explained to Sean. She had become quite accommodating toward him lately.

After all, he was the patient.

“It’s okay. I’m the one who’s been holding you back,” Sean said.

He meant it sincerely and unintentionally, but it made Abigail feel uncomfortable.

“What do you mean by holding me back? We’ve been together for so long, and now you’re saying this. It’s a bit ungrateful,” Abigail expressed her discomfort, forcefully zipping up her backpack.

Sean quickly clarified, “I didn’t mean it that way. I meant that you also have your own things to do, so it’s already good enough that you’ve been with me for so long.”

“If you believe you’re holding me back, it implies that you still consider our matters to be separate,” Abigail remarked, tossing her bag aside.

Sean couldn’t fathom why she became upset; he believed he was merely stating the truth.

After Abigail lay down with a stern expression, she ignored Sean.

“Are we having communication problems again?” Sean asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.

“I have a flight tomorrow. Can you stop arguing with me at times like this?” Abigail felt that she had already spoken very clearly. Why can’t he just think about it more carefully?

Speaking of which, even though they had been together for so long, they still argued over small things.

Every time Abigail thought they already understood each other enough, Sean would immediately disappoint her like now.

She meant that Sean’s concerns and matters were also her own, and she had never felt that he was

holding her back by staying here. If it truly bothered her, she would have left long ago.

Unfortunately, Sean had a stubborn head when it came to relationships.

He tended to fixate on the reality of a situation and often overlooked her feelings.

“I’m not arguing with you. My tone of voice is pretty gentle, right?” Sean squeezed her shoulder and mentioned.

Abigail silently let out a sigh. “Can I just go to sleep?”

“Okay…” Sean could only shut up.

But he was also wondering where he went wrong.

When they spent a lot of time together, they argued. Sean knew that after a day or two, they could resolve their misunderstandings.

But this time, he felt a bit uneasy about allowing her to leave with a heart full of anger.

As Abigail was drifting off to sleep, Sean suddenly said, “I’m sorry…”
