The Spare Wife

Chapter 656 You’re Not Here 

Abigail turned around and looked at him, her smile cold and distant. “Since we can’t have a meal right away, forget it. I just came back from out of town, and I need to go back and have dinner with my family.”

Her schedule today was quite busy. First, she had lunch with Lawrence and Scarlett, and then she went to visit Sean’s grandparents and Analise.

Tomorrow, she would officially start working.

She wanted to finish this matter as soon as possible and then balance the situation between Sean and the company.

Luna had been covering for her for half a year. She couldn’t let her continue to bear the pressure after she finished handling things.

Moreover, L.Moon was different now. Previously, there wasn’t such a large volume of orders. Now, in addition to the pressure from Fairy Meadow, there were other brands that needed L.Moon’s designs, as well as the entertainment team she had independently created before. All of these things invisibly put a lot of pressure on Luna.

Daniel was a little surprised. He didn’t expect Abigail to care so much about her family.

As he watched Abigail’s figure walking away in the distance, it took him a long time to snap out of it.

Abigail had just arrived at the Pearsons’ when Sean called.

“What’s wrong?” Abigail pressed the answer button and reached out to take a pair of fork and knife to pick up her food.

“You’ve only been back for half a day, and I already miss you. How’s everything going?” Sean’s voice was filled with nostalgia.

Abigail licked her lips. “It’s alright, but we haven’t found the mole. They probably had a plan long ago, so it’s not easy to catch them.”

After all, there were quite a few designers who had resigned or been fired from L.Moon.

“If we really can’t find them, I can have someone help you.” Sean’s voice carried a smile.

“You take good care of yourself. The external matters have nothing to do with you. Once you’re better, you can come back and do whatever you want.” Abigail immediately became serious.

Sean responded with an “oh.” His mood was a little low. “I feel a bit annoyed when you’re not here.”

After she left, Sean realized that Alice’s house was really boring. He had finished all the chores in the morning: sun drying peanuts, fetching water, and tidying up the vegetable garden. Without Abigail to chat with Alice during lunch, he felt the house suddenly become quiet.

“I’ll come over as soon as I finish handling things. If you feel bored, you can exercise more. If that doesn’t work, consider helping Alice clean the house thoroughly. Do everything you can.” Abigail wanted to go over now, but she couldn’t do anything about it.

“That’s it. I’ll try to find something to do this afternoon,” Sean said.

He didn’t want to complain too much to Abigail. After all, she had a lot of work at her company. If he bothered her too much and she made a mistake, it wouldn’t be good.

“Well, just give me a call if you need anything.” Abigail’s tone softened.

Lawrence and Scarlett looked at her, their eyes filled with surprise.

Abigail had a different look every time she came back, and this time, she looked completely new.

After hanging up the phone, Abigail noticed that they were looking at her. “What’s wrong?” She asked.

“You look different again. I am a bit afraid to talk to you,” Scarlett whispered. Even though Abigail seemed gentle now, she still felt a bit unfamiliar.

“Don’t be.” Abigail sipped her soup.

To celebrate her return, Scarlett had prepared a lot of dishes.

Abigail thought Alice was really good at cooking. Compared to her, Abigail felt that others couldn’t master the dishes and servings as she could.

Abigail felt like her mouth had been pampered by Alice.

“You don’t seem as fair as before, but you look much healthier,” Lawrence sat beside her, his eyes full of affection.

“I go out for exercise and sunbathing every day, so it’s inevitable to get a bit tanned. I’ll be going back to Pendorf after dinner,” Abigail said, eating faster than them.

“You just came back. Take a good rest and go tomorrow,” Scarlett immediately persuaded.

“I have to deal with company matters tomorrow. I can’t leave Sean alone in Eastbay. The sooner I finish, the sooner I can go there,” Abigail said, then thought of Luna and added, “How are Luna and Josh doing in their relationship?”

When it came to them, Lawrence didn’t say much. He could only look at Scarlett.

Scarlett lowered her gaze and looked at the food in her bowl, feeling quite upset. “They have been arguing a lot in the past three months. Luna rarely stays at home anymore, and Josh’s temperament is no longer as gentle as before.”

“What does Josh really think about this relationship? Have you asked him?” Abigail asked again.

“We did ask. He always says it’s his own fault. But in these three months, instead of making progress, their relationship has become more tense. I don’t think they will make it,” Lawrence said and started eating slowly.

Abigail sighed and remained silent.

“If you can persuade Luna, please do so. They have been together for so long, what can’t be resolved? This is the first time that Josh has been in love, and there are many things he hasn’t done well, and we know that. Let Luna give him a chance.” Scarlett’s face was full of worry. She genuinely liked Luna and hoped that Luna could marry Josh. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

They were already at the stage of discussing marriage. How did it end up like this?”
