"But now she is facing those of us who have entered society," Abigail said in a low voice.
Lynette glanced at Sean. Judging from the combination of Abigail's attitude, she assumed that Abigail and Sean weren't that close yet.
Based on what Josh mentioned, Sean's status was lower than Abigail's now.
Sean parked the car in front of the cafe and looked at Abigail. "Are you going to have coffee today?"
"Of course," Abigail immediately replied.
She would have her coffee fix every day. Why would she go without it today?
When Sean got out of the car, Lynette asked Abigail in a hushed voice, "Abigail, what stage are you at with Sean?"
Abigail looked at her strangely. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, are you in love now? If you are, don't dwell on the form of address, or he will be upset," Lynette whispered. "Sean treats you well and obeys you now. If you don't accept him, you'll be risking Lily taking your place if he's upset!"
Abigail sighed. This little girl worries too much.
With someone as cunning as Sean, he would find a way to save himself even if he really fell into Lily's trap.
"Eric was unlucky. He's a handsome celebrity, for goodness sake! How could he be taken advantage of by someone like Lily? He must be miserable!" Lynette's expression carried a hint of disappointment.
Abigail became curious upon hearing that. "What did Lily do to make you dislike her so much?"
"When Lily was abroad, she slept with someone's boyfriend and used various tricks to seduce him. After sleeping with her once, that person's boyfriend started blaming his own girlfriend. I'm afraid Sean might do the same," Lynette explained while showing a disdainful expression. "Some men actually consider a woman who sleeps with them as someone precious."
"She slept with Eric, too, but he still doesn't like her." Abigail didn't mind Lynette's words at all.
"Eric is different. He grew up with us and treats Lily like his sister. Who would've expected that she would do such a disdainful thing? When I heard about it, I felt so bad for him!" Lynette lamented.
Noticing Sean coming out of the cafe, Abigail cleared her throat. "He's coming out."
"Anyway, you should keep an eye on Sean. If he gets tainted by Lily, it will be too late for you to regret," Lynette muttered again.
"I got it. I will protect him," Abigail reassured, feeling slightly annoyed from all the nagging.
"Don't blame me for nagging. Look at Josh and Luna. They rarely go home and only stay in the hotel every night. Who knows when they will have a baby?" Lynette acted like an adult when she spoke. "They might even beat you to it."
Abigail silently took a deep breath.
After Sean got into the car, she felt a sudden relief.
