"I got you, Lawrence." Sean smiled gracefully. He had undergone a complete transformation, leaving Luna at a loss for words. It was as if he had been reborn.
Abigail sat beside him, leaning on his arm. She pointed her phone's camera toward the sky and exclaimed, "Look, the sky here is so blue. I never realized that the night sky in the city is different from the one in the countryside. The night sky here is dazzling, with stars that resemble diamonds filling the expanse."
Luna could not help but feel envious upon seeing this. "Oh, I seriously wish I could join you guys."
"After we finish here, I'll take your place." Abigail turned the camera back.
Luna immediately agreed. After discussing some daily matters, she expressed her desire to talk privately with Abigail, who proceeded to walk outside with her phone.
Once outside, she asked Luna in a hushed tone, "What's wrong?"
"Your relationship with Sean seems different now. Have you recently broken down the barriers between each other?" Luna asked softly.
In truth, she envied Abigail greatly. The dynamic between Sean and her was no longer the same as before. Previously, Luna always felt that he was desperately trying to please Abigail, but Abigail, still haunted by the pain of her failed marriage, was always hesitant about their relationship. She always felt that something was missing between them. But now, that feeling seemed to have vanished.
"No, it's the same as before." Abigail was rather confused. Honestly, she did not feel any significant changes between her and Sean.
Since they arrived at Alice's place, they had been preoccupied with various trivial matters daily. The only difference was that they did everything together. Due to his fragile health, Alice wanted Abigail to be by his side at all times, fearing that he might faint or have an accident at any moment.
"It's different! Haven't you noticed? I can't quite explain it, but I feel like you two have formed a deep, profound bond. When others see you together, they perceive you as a natural couple, and no one can come between you," Luna said eagerly.
Abigail leaned against a tree, gazing at the night sky with a smile. "Is that so?"
So, this is how relationships are nurtured, huh?
"Yes! It surprised me, too. What surprised me even more is that you two now possess such pure temperament, as if you've embarked on a spiritual journey." Luna believed that Sean's reappearance in the public eye was bound to cause a sensation.
On the other hand, Abigail, as Alana, was already a public figure, so her next appearance would undoubtedly spark speculation within the industry about what she had experienced to become so composed, poised, and captivating.
Her best friend was improving day by day, and it made Luna a little envious.
