Chapter 202 You Won’t Keep Anything From Me, Will You?
Sean turned around, frowning as he regarded Abigail. “What are you trying to say?” His tone quickly took on a hint of anger.
“Nothing. I was just asking.” she replied immediately.
As he stared at her, he suddenly curled his lips into a mocking smile. “Do you still think I would deceive you for Joan?”
“I’m going to the kitchen.” She sidestepped him, not wanting to continue this conversation.
Sean, who was just about to say something in response, was interrupted by Analise’s words as her voice rang out across the room, “Sean, let me know if there’s anything else you want to eat.”
He immediately replied, “It’s fine. If you make too much, you’ll end up eating the leftovers tomorrow.” Analise was frugal, and he had seen her consuming leftovers several times.
After dinner, he didn’t speak to Abigail again until she had fallen asleep.
In the middle of the night, he finally gave up trying to catch a wink. So, he got up and went to the yard to smoke. Abigail doesn’t trust me at all.
Early the next morning, he learned that Abigail had already flown to Ouisford after catching an early flight by the time he woke up from his slumber.
She had informed Lynette that she no longer needed her to pick her up. Once that was done, she placed her entire focus on her embroidery.
Alas, her focus was broken when she overheard the staff working in the studio that Lynette was arguing with a man around lunchtime. It seemed that this mystery man had been waiting at the door bright and early. So, she decided to see just what on Earth was going on.
She could hear Lynette’s frustrated voice at the entrance as soon as she stepped out of the backyard.
“I’ve been sending her to and fro for several days. If I wanted to harm her, I could have done it a long time ago. Why would I bother waiting?”
“I’m sorry, but she’s working at the moment. You can’t enter,” Cameron replied sternly.
“You have no right to bar my entry even if I don’t know her. This is an embroidery studio; if I’m not mistaken, you don’t own this establishment. Step aside.” It seemed that Lynette had been here. for quite some time, considering the desperate tenor in her voice.
At this moment, Abigail came to the door with a helpless expression on her face. When her gaze landed on the two people who were arguing by the entrance, she raised her voice as she inquired,
“Are you guys done?”
As soon as Lynette saw Abigail, she looked absolutely distressed. “Abby, even if you and Josh have a disagreement, you shouldn’t take it out on me.”
“I’m not! I just feel bad about bothering you every day,” Abigail explained gently.
“Why? I don’t mind. Besides, I’m just giving you a ride. It’s not like I’m doing any hard work,” Lynette quickly responded.
Yet, Abigail merely shook her head in response. “It’s fine, Lynette. I’m not that close with Josh anyway. I’m just a stranger who just happened to make his acquaintance at best. It feels weird to keep bothering you.”
Suddenly, Lynette’s eyes turned red-rimmed. Unfortunately, when she took a step closer to Abigail to argue her case, she was promptly blocked by Cameron once more.
“What’s with you?! Seriously!” Lynette felt the last strands that were restraining her temper snap as she hissed.
