Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail and Sean) novel Chapter 11

"Accompany me to the Graham Estate tonight. Grandpa wants to see you."

Abigail stared at the stack of canceled orders in her hands. She was already extremely frustrated, to begin with, but hearing Sean's voice now only added fuel to her fury. Thus, she said indifferently, "I'm not in the position to visit the Graham Estate."

At the other end of the line, Sean was quiet for a few seconds before ordering, "We're not divorced yet. You cannot decide whether you want to go or not."

Due to certain reasons, Sean was raised by his grandparents, Colby Graham and Lina Toth, and listened to everything they said. Therefore, he didn't object when they wanted him to marry Abigail. During three years of his secret marriage to Abigail, his understanding of the obligations of a husband and a wife, besides the monthly coitus, was visiting the Graham Estate regularly to show Colby and Lina how blissful they were as a form of assurance.

Whoever made the elderly couple sad was Sean's enemy.

If this call had happened any other time, she would have thought that he was being self-centered and demanding again. Yet, right when her company was in a crisis, he called and threatened her to go to the Graham Estate with him.

She couldn't help but let out a contemptuous chuckle. My three years of love and dedication were for nothing. Not a single shard of it had touched Sean. For Joan's sake, he's willing to go as far as exterminating me.

So, she took a deep breath and went straight to the point. "Will you solve the crisis at the studio if I go to the Graham Estate with you?"

Sean agreed without even thinking twice. "Okay. I'll pick you up tonight." After he hung up, his spirits were better than he imagined, and his lips even curved upward unintentionally.

He rarely took the initiative to contact Abigail and he would usually ask his assistant to contact her whenever Colby wanted him to visit with her. However, he decided to make this call personally because she had been throwing a tantrum recently. So, in his opinion, this call would serve as an out for her.

…

Sean called an internal line and gave his order emotionlessly, "Find out what issues L.Moon has encountered. There's no need to inform me about anything and just take care of it straight away."

Sean's eyes turned gloomy, and a ball of frustration welled up in his chest. She says that she's acting, which means she still wants a divorce. But I've already solved the crisis for her studio. Why is she still unhappy? There was only one reason he could think of, and he asked in sarcasm, "Did you already find your next husband?"
