Sean thought she was asking if Lawrence was now a qualified father.
He frowned, looking very serious. "It's not easy to explain in a few words. Let me think."
Explaining the situation regarding Lawrence without being biased or overly critical was a challenging problem.
Abigail looked at him disdainfully. "Is it so difficult to answer? You never even considered it. You even told Grandmother you want to have a child with me."
Upon hearing her words, Sean was momentarily stunned. "Huh? Are you not talking about Lawrence?"
Abigail looked at him expressionlessly. "Forget it. Just pretend I didn't ask."
As the elevator stopped, she was about to leave when Sean immediately grabbed her hand.
Abigail was pushed against the elevator by him, staring at him with wide eyes. "What's gotten into you all of a sudden?"
The elevator doors opened.
Many office workers outside the elevator stared at the scene inside, craning their necks to get a better look.
Sean turned his head and glanced at the people outside the elevator. He spoke gently, "Could you all please wait for the next elevator and help press the close button of the elevator door?"
He was truly charming.
The girl at the door didn't even think about it and immediately helped him press the close button.
Sean's gaze returned to Abigail. Seeing her flushed face, he leaned in and stared at her up close. "Being a good father is not just something you say with your mouth. You'll only know when we have a child. You should know that men and women have different ways of treating children."
Because men don't carry the child, many husbands don't have much emotional connection even at the moment of the child's birth. After all, they are not involved in the process of pregnancy.
Without involvement, how would they know what it means to be a good father?
"Alright. Stop talking." Abigail pushed Sean's hand away, and her cheeks turned red.
But Sean remained unfazed. He kissed Abigail's lips and whispered, "Even Lynette calls me 'brother-in-law.' Can you give me a proper title, too?"
He truly hoped that Abigail could give him the identity of a boyfriend so that his heart could finally settle down.
"Don't push it. We agreed on two years, and it's only been a short time." Abigail pushed him away but didn't seem too displeased with the kiss.
Sean sighed and took two steps back. He turned around and pressed the button to open the elevator doors. "It's really difficult to get a title."
"It's difficult to pursue a girlfriend, especially one who has been divorced from you." Abigail deliberately teased him.
Sean looked at her with a mournful expression.
Abigail snorted.
Who asked him to act recklessly before?
The elevator doors opened again, and it was the same group of people as before.
Abigail felt embarrassed as Sean held her hand and walked out, attracting the attention of everyone around. She felt like she wanted to disappear.
Abigail felt that he looked down on her.
"Who is bullying whom in these situations? Is your mindset still stuck in the past, thinking I'm an easy target for bullying?" Abigail was annoyed. Was it because she had acted too weak before that Sean thought she could only be bullied?
"They had more people on their side." Sean added, "I'm worried about you."
"Alright. I'm not a child. If I'm bullied, I'll fight back." Abigail pushed him away.
Sean got into the car and sat inside, looking at her reluctantly. "Call me if anything happens, and I'll come right away."
"Got it. Just go." Abigail said.
Sean instructed the driver to start the car.
The car slowly drove away.
Abigail stood there and watched for a long time. When she was about to turn around, she saw Luna and Josh standing not far away, looking at her.
She felt embarrassed, as if she had been caught red-handed. "Why didn't you say anything when you came over?"
"We can see that you're reluctant to let him go, huh?" Luna approached Abigail and teased her.
"What are you thinking about? I was just lost in my thoughts, so I didn't go back immediately," Abigail said, turning back to Luna.
Josh followed them and said, "If you don't want to leave, just say it directly. Being stubborn all the time isn't good."

Updates?...
I hope you get rid of this wicked girl, Callen, (she is not worthy of Sean or any of his extended family) and Mr Hinton and let Sean and Abigail live in peace … put the drama on someone else. Colby needs to enjoy his grandchild....
Sean and Abigail need a proper wedding including the handmade dress saved by Sean. Please don’t get them into another long separation and let them be happy with children as the story continues....
Thank you for the update...
Sean is not a mind reader, Abigail needs to be explain the whole story starting with Luna’s swearing her to secrecy regarding the child, the genetic issues and Martin’s assistance in stabilizing the child’s genes so he could be genetically tested. Abigail blames Sean for her situation but it’s due to her not being honest. They need to settle this, get married and have a child of their own....
