Abigail couldn't help but miss him, but she felt even more guilty towards Sean.
Over the past month, she had kept too many things from him, especially her fear of him finding out about Larry.
She hoped that nothing would happen in the next two years and that Luna would remember everything and recognize Larry as her own.
"Yes, I do," she replied, her guilt making her words lack confidence.
Despite Sean sensing her distraction, he swiftly dismissed any feeling of loss, reassured by the knowledge that she would be back soon.
"I'll wait for you at the airport. If you're too tired, you can take a nap on the plane," Sean said, his voice carrying a hint of laughter.
"Okay," Abigail tried to lift her spirits.
She hadn't done anything wrong to Sean. The child belonged to Luna, not her.
After convincing herself of this, Abigail felt much better.
...
Back in Capitalis, as Abigail walked out of the airport, she saw Sean and Xavien.
He seemed to be saying something to Xavien, who nodded in response.
When Xavien saw Abigail, he immediately pointed towards her.
Sean looked in her direction.
And in that moment, Abigail suddenly felt an indescribable emotion. She quickly walked towards Sean.
"I'm back," Abigail said, standing in front of Sean with a faint smile in her eyes.
Xavien stepped forward to help her with her luggage.
Sean couldn't hold back any longer and reached out to hold her hand, wanting to embrace her. But knowing that Abigail was always reserved, he could only gently stroke the back of her hand. "You look tired. Is work exhausting?"
"It's okay. Should we go to a restaurant first, or should I go back and take a shower and change clothes?" Abigail noticed that many people were watching them, and she felt a bit embarrassed.
"Let's go back first. You can take a shower and rest for half an hour before going out again," Sean suggested, realizing that Abigail was much more tired than he had imagined.
"Okay," Abigail nodded.
When they arrived back at Pearson Residence, Lawrence and Scarlett were overjoyed.
After Abigail finished showering, she sat on the couch watching a drama and eating. Lawrence sat beside her, looking at her with a gentle expression. "Sean has been eagerly waiting for you to come back. Finally, he has you back."
"There was a sudden issue at work; I couldn't help it," Abigail replied, looking at Sean and lifting her chin slightly. "Shall we go home tomorrow to visit Grandma and Grandpa?"
"Sure." Sean nodded. Although he spent a lot of time in Pendorf, Abigail hadn't come back for a month due to work, so she must be missing Analise a lot.
Scarlett served juice to Abigail and Sean. She sat next to the couch, hesitant to speak.
