Chapter 229 Cultivating Feelings
“What are you looking at?” Abigail’s face held a mix of confusion and embarra*sment.
She wasn’t sure if Sean had overheard her conversation with her grandmother.
“Your grandmother wants to leave the hospital again?” Sean had caught a snippet of their
conversation.
Abigail gave a small nod. She didn’t intend to have a deep conversation with Sean and was about to head back.
“Let’s take a stroll?” Sean approached her.
“No need, I still have work to finish.” She wanted to get it done quickly and return home so her grandmother wouldn’t have to stay in the hospital for too long.
“You should take a break occasionally. What if you get too tired and end up in the hospital, which would delay your work even more?” Sean gently held Abigail’s wrist without much thought.
Abigail immediately tried to pull away.
“Help me take a look at the scenery here and give me some design advice,” Sean said, pulling her toward the exit.
“This is something you should ask an architect, not a fashion designer!” Abigail freed herself from Sean’s grasp.
“Sometimes, professional designers may not have better ideas than cross–industry designers,” Sean said, pulling Abigail’s hand once again.
Abigail was dragged out by him.
They happened to run into a couple who were taking a leisurely stroll, fanning themselves. Abigail stopped making a fuss at once and followed Sean.
“Taking a walk?” The woman recognized Abigail and initiated the conversation.
Abigail nodded.
The man was engrossed in scrolling through his phone, occasionally exchanging a few words with
the woman.
Abigail awkwardly followed Sean, listening to the couple’s casual chatter.
“Do you think the plan to turn our village into a tourist village will really work? I’m still counting on the compensation to buy a new house in the city,” the woman, fanning herself, asked her
1/4
husband.
“They want to demolish all the houses in the village. But what can they do if a few holdouts refuse?” The man’s tone was indifferent.
“We should try to persuade those holdouts. Otherwise, the whole village will suffer if we don’t get the compensation,” the woman continued.
Sean and Abigail listened in silence, not offering any comments.
“What are you talking about? Why should we persuade them in a nice way?” The man grew impatient and snapped at the woman.
The woman pursed her l*ps and fell silent.
Abigail wondered why he was so upset. He had such a bad temper. It was surprising that he could find a wife.
At this moment, Sean suddenly took Abigail’s hand, whispering, “Let’s walk faster.”
“Why?” Abigail lowered her voice. She suspected that Sean was deliberately showing affection in front of others.
“Just walk faster.” Sean hastened his steps.
Abigail was pulled along, and they jogged on.
As they pa*sed by the couple, the woman murmured, “Being young is a wonderful thing.”
There was a hint of envy in her tone.
“This is quite rare,” Sean said to Abigail.
Nowadays, it was really hard to see fireflies,
Abigail took out her phone, snapped a photo, and sent it to Luna.
“I’ve never seen fireflies, even though Quinn Village is in the countryside,” Abigail said to Sean after sending the photo.
“Quinn Village used to be a tourist village, so it was crowded. There couldn’t have been fireflies,” Sean explained.
She had designed starry skies and oceans before, but she had never thought about fireflies as she had never seen them.
