Abigail gazed at the dark sky, searching for stars but finding none. She couldn't help but sigh.
"Doesn't everything depend on human effort?" she murmured softly.
If Josh sided with Luna, would things turn out differently?
Josh didn't respond to Abigail, but his grip on the handle of his suitcase tightened slightly.
"By the way, I heard something while I was out this time. Ronaldo even asked me for advice, but I didn't know what to suggest," Abigail said, trying to sound casual.
"What did you hear?" Josh gathered his thoughts and looked at her.
"Ronaldo has a close friend who is still in love with a girl despite breaking up because of an accident. He's reluctant to let go and wants to reconcile, but then the girl becomes pregnant. The problem is, no one knows who the father is," Abigail explained slowly, improvising a story on the spot.
"So, his friend is unsure whether he should get back together with the girl?" Josh quickly grasped the situation.
"No, his friend doesn't even know that the girl was taken advantage of and became pregnant. What do you think? If we tell his friend, would he still choose to be with the girl and accept the child?" Abigail asked, feeling like she had just set a trap by suggesting that Josh go find Luna.
"I believe any decent man wouldn't accept this situation. If the child is aborted, that's a different story. Of course, I'm not advocating for abortion. The man responsible for getting her pregnant should take responsibility." Josh calmly expressed his opinion.
Abigail felt uneasy upon hearing his words.
She shouldn't have said that. Who would want to be the second choice?
"But if I were in his friend's shoes, I would confront the man who took advantage of the girl and see how she handles the situation. I think that would be the best solution," Josh added, considering Abigail's feelings. As a woman, she would naturally sympathize with the girl in this situation.
"In that case, let's not tell his friend. If they've already broken up, it's best to leave it at that," Abigail suggested.
Now, she hoped that Josh wouldn't go looking for Luna; even if he did, he wouldn't be able to find her.
After returning home, Abigail took a shower and came downstairs to find Sean sitting in the living room, organizing several documents.
Sensing someone's gaze, he looked up and met Abigail's eyes.
"You didn't even inform me when you returned." He put down the documents, wearing a reproachful expression.
Abigail walked over and sat down next to him, smiling. "I wanted to surprise you. Did someone tell you I was back?"
