The Spare Wife

Chapter 256 They Never Stopped Seeing Each Other
Owing Anthony a favor has already made things difficult enough for me, and now I’m owing three people favors at the same
time. I’m going to have a hard time repaying them. But now, there’s no better option. If I show up, things may get even worse,
thought Abigail. Eventually, she stepped aside to make way for
the man.
Sean opened the door and walked out.
There was a lot of noise outside. Not only did Ronaldo’s security guards snatch the cameras from the reporters, they also
warned Eric’s fans in strong language.
Just then, Sean’s chilly voice rang. “What are all of you doing here?”
In an instant, everyone’s heart sank; silence reigned over the hotel corridor as everyone turned their heads simultaneously to
see Sean standing at the door to the hotel room.
It was impossible to ignore his commanding presence as his tall and imposing figure stood at the door. Impatience flickered in his
eyes as his gaze swept over the faces of everyone present. Despite the casualness with which he glanced at everyone, these
people, who were all meeting him for the first time, noticed his gaze that was enough to strike fear into anyone’s heart.
Immediately, Ronaldo came up and went along with him. “Mr. Graham, my sincere apologies for disturbing you and your friends‘
rest. These people sneaked into our hotel early in the morning to take unauthorized photos. I’ve called the police, and they’ll be
here soon to arrest them.”
Sean darted an impassive glance at him. Then, he gave a slight nod, saying, “This is a star–rated hotel, after all. You need to do
a better job of ensuring the safety and privacy of your guests.”
“Did you hear that?!” yelled Ronaldo, pretending to be furious, in a reproachful tone to the young man following him.
The young man nodded repeatedly. “You’re right, sir. The police will be here in a minute, and none of these people taking
unauthorized photos are going to get away with it! I’ll report to you all about the developments later. Whether it’s complimentary
rooms or compensation, our hotel will definitely take responsibility.”

At that moment, Kevin stepped out of Abigail’s room. Pretending to be frightened, he patted his chest. “I was scared to death
early this morning. I was just about to go out for breakfast when a bunch of people suddenly barged into my room holding
phones and cameras and pointed them to my face.”
Inside the hotel room, Abigail pressed her ear against the door, paying attention to the commotion outside. She heard the noise
quiet down in an instant, and then there was silence.
She stood waiting by the door for over ten minutes. Suddenly, there was a rhythmic knock on the door, upon which she
immediately knew it was Sean. When she opened the door and saw only
him, Ronaldo, and Kevin, she couldn’t help but crane her neck to look in the direction of her own hotel room.
“Don’t worry. They’ve all been taken away by the police,” said Ronaldo, reassuring her with at
cheerful smile.
Kevin let out a long sigh of relief. “Thank goodness you’ve already left with Sean. They had your room key and barged into your
room. These fans and reporters are so audacious!”
Sean quietly shot a dark look at him.
Noticing the guilt in Abigail’s eyes, Kevin instantly understood why Sean had shot him a look–his words were making her feel
guilty. “It’s okay! We’re friends, aren’t we?” he hurriedly added in an attempt to ease the situation.
Abigail was nonetheless very grateful to them. “Thank you so much for your help today. If you need my help in making designs in
the future, feel free to let me know.”
“Oh, come on! We’re friends,” replied Ronaldo with a wave of his hand. “After all, it’s the hotel’s mistake. It’s already lucky for the
hotel that you’re not making a fuss about it.”
Sean turned to look at Abigail, his voice gentler without him noticing as he spoke. “The hotel’s security lapse has nothing to do
with you.”
“I’ll deal with the hotel about this. Mr. Fernandez could’ve stayed out of this; since he has helped me, I need to thank him for
this,” replied Abigail in a businesslike tone.

“You’re welcome, senorita. Would you prefer to have breakfast first or head straight to the airport?” Ronaldo asked her with a
smile.
Abigail had merely treated Ronaldo as a client before, but his timely phone call had saved her today. Without the phone call, she
wouldn’t have left with Sean; instead, she would have been caught by those reporters as well as Eric’s fans. If they started a
stream, put her on the internet, and confirmed that she was staying at this hotel, she would have a much harder time clarifying
the situation. “Mr. Fernandez, can you recommend a place for breakfast?” she asked in a softer voice. Since Ronaldo had helped
her this time, she felt the need to remind him of several things as a way to repay his favor.
“Then come with me.” Ronaldo waved his hand, his expression filled with delight.
Kevin muttered to Sean, “Even without him, we could handle it...” This has unexpectedly caused Abigail to have a much better
impression of him. Well, this is going to put Sean in greater danger.
Abigail didn’t say much upon hearing his words, though.
Just then, Sean’s phone rang. He said to Abigail, “I have to answer this–it’s probably about the surveillance footage. You guys
wait for me here.”
“Okay.” Abigail nodded.
As she watched the man step aside to answer the phone, an inexplicable sadness crept over her. They were already divorced,
and yet it seemed like they had never stopped seeing each other. And now, today’s incident forced her to be entangled with him
once again.
“Just send the complete surveillance footage to Miss Smith from L.Moon. She knows what to do.” Although his voice wasn’t loud,
everyone in the room heard him clearly.
Seizing the opportunity, Ronaldo cozied up to Abigail, saying, “I’ve prepared some seafood for you. It was sent out for delivery
last night, so Miss Smith will receive it by noon today. You’ve got to try it; it’s very delicious.”
