Abigail’s Second Life

Chapter 28
0
Ana lise had been staying in the village, taking care of Theodore. She had never been to the city before, so she was naturally clueless about navigating the roads here.
Abigail's heart clenched upon hearing her grandmother being scolded. She was concerned about leaving Ana lise alone at the bus station, for it wouldn't be safe for her. Feeling anxious, she said, "Grandma, could you pass the phone to the driver? I'll talk to him."
"Hey!" Ana lise hurriedly handed the phone to the driver.
The driver scolded impatiently, "What's wrong with you? How could you let an old lady go out alone? She can't even tell me where she wants to go. She's delaying my business!"
Abigail apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry for the trouble, sir. Please take my grandma to the north gate of Aqua Serenity Manor. I'll wait for her there, and I'll pay you triple the fare. Is that okay?"
Aqua Serenity Manor was an upscale neighborhood, Naturally, the driver agreed since she was polite and offered to triple the fare. "Alright, but if you don't show up, I'll just leave her by the roadside."
After hanging up the phone, Abigail glanced toward the City Hall anxiously. There are many people inside now. If I go in and collect our divorce certificate now, I might miss Grandma's cab.
She got out of the car, intending to talk to Sean. "Can we collect the
certificate another day? Something just came up."
At her words, he took a deep drag of his cigarette and stubbed it out, giving her a cold look. "Are you joking with me?" You were the one who urgently wanted to get the divorce certificate in the morning, and now that we're here, you're telling me that something came up. Are you playing games with me? Abigail knew she was at fault. The last time she wanted to get the certificate, she was late and ended up not collecting it. Now, she had to stand him up because of her own affairs. If he didn't know the reason, he might think she was playing hard to get.
Seeing his displeased expression, she couldn't get angry either, she could only be honest. "I'm in a hurry. My grandma is coming, so I have to pick her up. I didn't mean to stand you up. It's my fault this time. Next time, why don't you set the date? I promise I'll be there even if it's raining knives."
His eyes darkened when he heard her say she would be there even if it was raining knives.
However, she couldn't care less at the moment, for her mind was full of her grandmother. After speaking, she turned around and hurriedly ran to the roadside, waving her hand to hail a cab. Her panicked actions resembled those of someone escaping.
Left alone at the entrance of the City Hall, Sean wore an extremely dark and gloomy expression.
After a while, he got back into his car and drove to East Joy Talent.
In the room, Kevin held a teapot with a picture of a beautiful woman on it
while taking a sip of tea. "Why do you look so dissatisfied?"
After Sean gave him a cold glare, he pulled out a chair and sat down, lighting
a cigarette. "Do you think everyone is as promiscuous as you?" Naturally, Kevin didn't think Sean had come to him during work hours just to find a place to smoke. Suddenly, something came to his mind. He moved closer to Sean and sniffed the man. "What's with the fiery temper? Did Abigail leave you, making you angry the entire night?" salch thi Find Nøvil.not website on Gøøgll to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Hearing this, Sean's fingers tightened
around his cigarette. He then gave Kevin a cold glance. "Why are you so enthusiastic about her affairs?"
"Ahem!" Kevin immediately controlled ΟΥ his expression. "I'm just concerned must
about you. I mean, if you have
feelings for her, just take the initiative. This stoic face of yours is only for people like us. No woman falls for that. She's been looking at your cold expression for three years, so it's no wonder her heart sank. It would be strange if she doesn't want a divorce." He then leaned closer, bringing his chair nearer to Sean. "So, have you two gotten the divorce certificate yet?" The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest

Sean sneered. "Don't mention it. Every time we're about to, she finds an excuse
to avoid it."
At his words, Kevin playfully rubbed his chin. "Well, it seems like someone is
giving her advice from the shadows."
"What do you mean?" Sean raised an eyebrow.

"Think about it. In the past three
years, you could count the number of
times you two have met on one hand. Now that you're getting divorced, you see each other more often, but when it comes to official business, it's impossible to get it done. Based on my many years of experience, she's... playing hard to get. She's trying to attract your attention in a different way. Women can be stubborn, so just pamper her a bit. Didn't you say that
your grandparents love her? Naturally, she's definitely the better
choice as a wife." Chapter 28

As Sean came out of Kevin's place, he was still a bit puzzled. However,
considering Abigail's recent behavior, it indeed seemed like she was trying to catch his attention. The most obvious sign was how they used to meet only once a month, but now, they would meet each other every few days. Other than trying
to catch his attention, he couldn't explain why the woman, whose world used to revolve around him, had suddenly turned into a different person.

In the past, he might have found her scheming, but this time, he didn't feel as uncomfortable. In fact, he was
even looking forward to it. Now that she's playing hard to get, I wonder when she'll finally make her move! On the other hand, as soon as Abigail got out of the cab, she suddenly sneezed twice in a row. An old saying from her hometown immediately came to mind as she thought, One sneeze, someone misses you; two sneezes, someone curses you; three sneezes, cold's debut. Two sneezes? Which wicked person is cursing me
