It is said that Abigail used to be his favorite. Whenever Sean had a disagreement with her, Old Mr. Graham always stood on her side.
Upon hearing this, Abigail frowned. "Why didn't you guys tell me?"
If she had known that Colby was sick, she would have definitely gone to see him as soon as she returned. Even if Lina was angry and didn't allow him to see her, she would kneel down just to catch a glimpse of him.
"You were busy those days, so we didn't want to bother you," Scarlett said gently.
Josh chimed in, "If you want to see him, I can go with you tomorrow. But we need to make an appointment with Sean first. Otherwise, we won't even get in the door."
"Okay. I'll talk to him," Abigail said. She knew she had to personally call Colby and apologize to him.
Josh nodded and didn't say much more.
Abigail went back to her room and dialed Sean's number.
As soon as the call connected, she said, "I want to talk to Grandfather."
"Maybe it's better if you come in person to talk to him." Sean's voice sounded a bit helpless. He knew what Abigail wanted to talk about, and he felt that she was being insincere.
What could they possibly talk about over the phone?
Abigail pursed her lips and said softly, "Okay. I understand."
Sean hung up the phone.
Abigail took a deep breath silently. Hopefully, giving a heads-up in advance would ensure that she wouldn't be blocked at the door tomorrow.
Abigail hardly slept that night. She even wondered if her jet lag was acting up, as she had been experiencing insomnia lately.
Early in the morning, she stood in front of the mirror, carefully applying concealer to her dark circles.
Scarlett watched her with concern. "Are you not used to being back?"
"It's okay." Abigail covered her dark circles, then turned to Scarlett and asked, "Do I look a bit more energetic now?"
"The tiredness on your face can be covered up, but what about your eyes? If you can't sleep well during the day, come to the gym with me so you won't have trouble falling asleep." Scarlett said as she handed her a lipstick, "Put on some. It will make you look healthier."
"Okay. I'll join you after I finish my work." Abigail thought to herself that she didn't have time to enjoy herself now.
She had no clue about Luna's situation.
When she was asleep, her dreams were always chaotic.
After breakfast, Abigail planned to go to Pendorf. She was about to pack up when she heard the maid say that there was a car parked outside.
"It's been parked for quite a while. About ten minutes." the maid told her.
Abigail grabbed her phone and went outside.
Opening the gate, she saw the license plate and raised an eyebrow. "You didn't go home last night?"
Sean leaned against the car window, his gaze slowly scanning her face, and replied evasively, "Is the jet lag bothering you?"
When Abigail returned, she did look refreshed, but as time passed, her spirits began to wane.
"Well, maybe." Abigail felt a bit awkward.
She couldn't believe he could tell she was wearing makeup.
Sean opened the car door and said casually, "Get in. Grandfather and Grandmother are waiting for you."
Abigail was taken aback, "Let me go get my things first."
