Abigail moistened her lips, trying not to pressure Luna too much even though she was anxious. Deep down, she sensed that Luna's behavior was not solely due to relationship problems. She couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, unsure if it was just her overthinking or if it stemmed from the pain Vincent had caused her in the past.
"If you truly have issues with Josh, I won't interfere. I respect your decisions," Abigail said softly.
Luna nodded and smiled as she set her glass down. "Don't worry. I'm just going to clear my mind. Once I sort things out, I'll explain everything to you."
Abigail nodded in understanding. Luna mentioned going on a trip and posted that she will only respond to messages or check her phone occasionally. When she has time, she will reply in the event of an urgent matter. Therefore, her replies will depend on her mood.
The months passed slowly, and thanks to Abigail's reforms, L.Moon was on the right track by the time June arrived. Wearing a mask and sunglasses, Abigail stood at the airport.
From a distance, she spotted a tall figure walking out of the arrival gate. It was a man who exuded calmness and composure. Beside Abigail was Xavien, who caught sight of Sean and couldn't help but widen his eyes in realization. "Is that Mr. Graham?"
Sean, dressed casually and appearing much gentler than before, attracted the attention of many people who glanced at him. They marveled at his appearance and admired his unique aura.
Abigail was about to respond when her phone chimed. "Yes, that's Mr. Graham," she replied, taking out her phone to check the message from Luna.
Last July, Luna mentioned going on a trip. Since then, Abigail had not seen her return to Capitalis. Although the two women were in touch via phone calls, Abigail felt that they were growing apart.
Luna's long-distance relationship with Josh lasted less than two months and ended in a breakup, leaving her whereabouts even more uncertain since then.
'Ms. Quinn, what is your connection to the owner of this phone?' Abigail felt a bit dizzy upon reading the message. She looked at the number and confirmed that it was registered under Luna's name in another city.
'Yes, this is my friend's phone. Where is she?' Abigail's breathing suddenly became tense. Just yesterday, they had a video call, and Luna seemed fine with no signs of any problems.
'She's encountered a little problem. I'll give you an address. You'll have to come alone.' Reading the message, Abigail furrowed her brow.
"What are you looking at?" Sean's voice came from above her head.
Abigail pocketed her phone and looked up at Sean. "Besides checking messages, what else can I look at? You've changed a lot in the past year and a half."
"Really? I'm hungry," he said with a smile.
"Why don't you let Xavien take you out for a meal? I have something to attend to, but I'll come back and talk to you once I'm done," Abigail said, reaching out to squeeze Sean's hand before turning and leaving.
Xavien was also taken aback. What is going on? They haven't seen each other in a year and a half, and she just runs off after a brief encounter.
"What... What baby?!" Abigail's scalp tingled. We haven't even seen each other in eighteen months, so whose child is Luna carrying?! Luna broke up with Josh ages ago, so whose child could this be?!
