I Want a Divorce (Abigail and Sean) novel Chapter 819

Kevin paused for a moment, then smirked. "Is this because of Sean?"

Irene didn't appreciate him talking about Sean like that, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she spoke earnestly, "I went there to learn design from Alana. I know about your past. None of your relationships have been long-lasting."

Kevin's hand, which was resting at his side, was clenched slightly.

"I know, too. One day, I'll end up like that, so I've never expected you to like me." Irene stood up, meeting his gaze. "I've always been self-aware. I understand, given my background, you wouldn't truly choose me."

"How do you know I'd treat you the same as those other girls from the past?" Kevin was getting a bit angry. He admitted he was a bit of a playboy, but he genuinely wanted to treat her well.

"I'm not special. You always say I like Mr. Graham, but shouldn't someone like him be liked?" Irene spoke softly. "I think a man who can be loyal to his partner is easily attractive to the opposite sex."

Kevin's palm stung from his nails digging into it.

"On the day we met on a blind date, he sat with me and talked a lot, but in the end, he told me I wasn't suitable for him. He couldn't betray the person he liked, and that's respectable," Irene said slowly. "You can't do that, can you?"

Kevin stepped forward and grabbed her hand. "What if I can change?"

"But I'm afraid I can't even keep track of how many ex-girlfriends you've had. When we are out together, everyone whispers behind our backs, wondering how long I can remain by your side before your drunk exes start calling you, asking you to pick them up," Irene stated frankly.

"Irene, I'll change this time," Kevin murmured.

Abigail pursed her lips and instinctively glanced at Sean.

"If you want to talk to me, I'll still listen," Irene remained gentle. "But if there's another time in the future when you choose another girl over me, I won't come back."

Kevin felt like he couldn't hold onto her, not because of Sean, but because of his own past mistakes. Only after meeting a girl he truly liked did he realize how unworthy his past was.

She couldn't trust herself with him.

Sean was somewhat annoyed. When Irene said she had to go back to work, he asked Xavien to see her off.

Kevin sat on the couch, his gaze blank.

"Don't blame everything on me. If being affectionate is a crime, then I'll plead guilty." Sean rarely made such flirtatious remarks.

Abigail coughed lightly. "You were pretty much the same before. I mean, after three years of following you, my heart was practically in pain. Isn't this just the beginning for you, Kevin?"

Kevin sighed. "If only I had known. If I hadn't been so reckless before, maybe I wouldn't have felt this lack of affection from her now. Can you guys believe it?"

"The whole 'prodigal son returns' thing doesn't really work," Abigail furrowed her brow and said calmly.

"Is there really no chance?" Kevin persisted.

"It all depends on your determination, but I don't think a leopard can change its spots. Right now, you think you can change because you like her, but love doesn't last forever. Many loves fade with time, and for someone like you, with a low sense of morality, infidelity is quite common." Abigail didn't truly believe him.
