The Spare Wife

Chapter 294 Does Mr Graham Know?
Alfie received a phone call during their meal. He immediately dropped his sycophantic demeanor and furrowed his brows. His
whole presence became assertive and was impossible to ignore.
Abigail thought to herself that this guy looked quite intimidating when he got serious.
“Are you sure it’s related to the Pearsons? All right. I’m having a meal with Ms. Quinn-” He hadn’t. even finished his sentence
when Abigail snatched his phone away from him.
“We’re done eating. Send us the address, and we’ll come right away,” she said before ending the call and handing the phone
back to Alfie, who looked somewhat resigned.
Then, he took his phone and said, “This meal was quite expensive. Please consider my wallet and also the feelings of the
uneaten food. They will feel unappreciated.”
“We’ll come again next time, and it’ll be my treat. My grandmother is more important,” she replied firmly.
Alfie stood up while muttering, “Mr. Graham wouldn’t want you to handle things on an empty stomach, but you’re the biggest...”
Abigail didn’t pay attention to his quiet muttering. Instead, she took her bag and vacated the premises.
Not long after they got in the car, Abigail received a strange
call.
Alfie was sitting beside her as he watched her hesitate as to whether she should answer. He playfully extended his hand and
pressed the answer button for her.
She was shocked by his behavior. When she snapped back to her senses, she wished she could punch him.
Alas, he simply acted in a goofy manner and motioned for her to answer despite being the recipient of her ferocious glare.
Abigail reluctantly pressed the speaker button. Meanwhile, Alfie didn’t hesitate to lean closer and eavesdrop on the conversation.
“Is this Ms. Quinn?” the person on the other end of the line asked.
“Yes. Who are you?” Abigail replied coldly.

“I’m a staff member at the train station. The owner of this phone has fainted in the train station restroom. We found your contact
information in her phone. Can you please come to the station to accompany her to the hospital if it’s convenient for you?”

Abigail hesitated while looking at Alfie.
He found the situation incredibly perplexing...
So, he took out his phone and made a call.
After she hung up, she stared at him without saying anything.
Alfie’s call got through, and he asked with a sardonic smile playing on his lips, “Are you guys playing a prank on me? Ms. Quinn
received a call from the train station staff saying her grandmother was there. Did you guys leave your brain in the trash while
you’re on the job?”
Abigail leaned closer to eavesdrop.
“We searched the Pearsons’ premises and didn’t find Abigail’s grandmother. Boss, you should bring her to the train station and
check things out a young man answered.
“Do you even know how to do your damn job?!” Alfie snapped and told the driver to head to the train station.
“It’s not that your people can’t get the job done. It’s that they know your people will be going there. So, they moved her before
you could trace things back to them.” Abigail comforted him.
Alfie licked his lips and said with a sly grin, “This time, it was Pearsons’ distant branch that was the mastermind behind the
kidnapping of Old Mrs. Quinn. They assumed that since Mr. Graham. wasn’t a local, he wouldn’t dare to confront them. They’re
quite an audacious bunch. Unfortunately, they don’t know that Mr. Graham is way worse. Honestly, he wouldn’t bat an eye even if
you asked him to fight a deity.”
Abigail was curious. “Does Mr. Graham know what you think of him?”
“Of course, he doesn’t. I’m just a small fry he assigned here. He doesn’t care about my thoughts,” Alfie replied confidently.

Still, she couldn’t help but think that he sure seemed to be enjoying himself working as a small fry and ridiculing his boss.
After the brief banter, all of her thoughts were focused on her grandmother.
Abigail and Alfie soon arrived at the train station and followed the instructions of the station’s staff to the waiting room.
Analise was sitting in the waiting room and drinking water. When she saw Abigail rush in, she froze for a moment and then
scolded her sternly, “What’s the matter with you? Didn’t I tell you to stay at home?!”.
“I was worried about you. Also, don’t you dare start with me! You came to Capitalis without telling me! How could I stay home
and not worry about you?! Besides, I wouldn’t stop you from visning
Capitalis. So, why did you have to keep it from me?!” Abigail shouted. After a while, her voice started to take on a tremulous
quality.
Analise had always been a tender-hearted woman. So, when she saw Abigail shaking from her emotions as tears welled up in
her eyes, she sighed helplessly and replied wearily, “I just wanted to visit an old friend. What’s there to worry about?”
However, Abigail couldn’t stop herself from rushing over and giving her a tight hug. “But you rarely leave the Quinn Village...”
“Oh, look at you. You’re already an adult, and yet you are crying like a child. You’re making at spectacle of yourself.” Analise
patted her back gently.
Abigail only tightened her embrace around Analise as she muttered petulantly, “I haven’t been able to sleep or eat properly these
past two days, and I had no idea where you were-
“You know that I will leave you one day. You need to get used to it,” Analise said dotingly as she gently pried herself away from
the koala monster that was Abigail.
‘She isn’t in good health. You need to make sure she doesn’t go around under such scorching heat. Otherwise, it could be
troublesome if she suffers from heatstroke.” The station staff took the opportunity to advise Abigail after their emotional
encounter.
“Okay. I understand,” Abigail answered while holding Analise’s hand; her eyelashes were still glistening with tears.
“Let’s go, Ms. Quinn. You have been busy all day and haven’t had lunch yet. Why don’t you have lunch together with Old Mrs.
Quinn?” Alfie kindly suggested.

“Okay.” Analise agreed as she supported herself with the chair. “I’m still quite healthy despite my age. There’s really no need to
treat me like a child.
Abigail squeezed her hand lightly and said, “I’m just worried about you. Don’t you worry whenever I’m away?”
“Hmph. Worry? Why should I worry? Have you ever seen me stopping you from running yourself ragged?” Analise retorted.
Sometimes, it was truly challenging to communicate with the elderly.
Abigail didn’t want to argue with her. Plus, she was overcome by relief, knowing that Analise was fine.
