Chapter 543 A Meaningless Bath
Lina discreetly carried a plate while Analise had her back turned, but Abigail caught her in the act, leaving her standing there awkwardly. Sensing the tension, Lina immediately turned around.
“You said you’d rather starve than eat this. Why? Feeling hungry now?” Analise taunted with a smirk.
As Sean descended the stairs, he overheard Lina complaining, “Sean, did you hear that? This elderly lady
wants to starve me!”
“Old Mrs. Quinn has been threatening to starve you for a month, but you’re still as strong as ever. You can even take her on,” Sean calmly replied as he sat down next to Colby, preparing to watch TV.
Furious, Lina sat at the dining table with her plate. She shamelessly took a few bites and then glanced at Abigail.
Abigail felt quite uncomfortable in this situation. The arrogant old lady was now genuinely despised by
everyone.
Despite that, Abigail elegantly and slowly ate her meal.
Lina, on the other hand, ate while sneaking glances at Abigail. After observing Abigail throughout the meal, she became increasingly annoyed.
Unable to hold back any longer, she started to criticize, “Why don’t you control her, Analise? Why would a young girl dye her hair this color?”
“Can’t you keep your mouth shut even while eating?” Analise scolded.
“And her clothing. Why would a young girl dress with such a low neckline, almost exposing her chest? Sean, don’t you know how to control her? You follow her around all day, and you can’t even control her,” Lina continued, finding fault with Sean.
Without paying much attention, Abigail continued to sip her soup. She thought that Lina’s criticism would bother her, but now she found that she didn’t feel anything. Maybe she genuinely didn’t care anymore.
On the contrary, Sean was getting irritated, so he walked up to Lina, saying, “Why do you care about what she’s wearing? Are you not hungry?”
“I am hungry,” Lina replied, taking a few more bites of her food.
“Mind your own business. She’s single, and she can dress however she wants. Even if she were married, she could still dress as she pleased. How can a fashion designer not wear stylish clothes? How can she convince her fans?” He admonished her.
After finishing her soup, Abigail told Analise, “I should head back now.”
Lina glanced outside and muttered, “Why go back when it’s so dark? The mountain road is not well maintained, and it’s easy for cars to skid. Remember last month? Steff’s daughter-in-law was in a car accident because the car skidded.”
Sean was surprised by her words, and Analise immediately became nervous. “I forgot about that. Abigail….”
“Cameron drives quite steadily,” Sean reassured them. In fact, he was worried that Abigail wouldn’t be able to sleep well here.
