Chapter 133 We’re Not the Same
Unprecedentedly, Sean did not get intimate with Abigail that night. Until 3.00AM, he still could not figure out why she had changed. She’s been using the pseudonym ‘Alana’ for three years to take orders. It doesn’t make sense for her to change her behavior just because of work. No matter how
hard I think, it seems her change started when she started working outside after Joan’s appearance.
Wait. Is she jealous because of Joan?
Suddenly, he seemed to have understood. He turned to look at the peaceful expression on her sleeping face and drew closer.
Abigail felt herself gently pulled into his embrace. Instead of resisting, she chose to yield.
The next morning, she came out of her room and found Sean having breakfast with Analise with a- gentle attitude as if nothing had happened between them the night before. She sat down and saw
Analise serving her a bowl of soup with a smile. “Thank you,
Grandma.”
“I’m relieved seeing you two are fine. I bought a ticket home, and Julie will take me. You can rest assured.” Analise looked at Abigail with loving eyes.
Abigail’s smile faded when she heard her grandmother’s words, enveloped with a great sense of reluctance. After a while, she replied softly, “Okay.”
“Get along well with Sean. Don’t spend all your time on work. You need to take care of the family as
well. Remember, men’s work centers around the outside, while women’s work centers around the
home,” Analise instructed with a natural tone.
“I know.” Abigail’s throat tightened. After Grandma returns home, I will once again be alone in this
city, with no relatives by my side.
When Sean looked at her, he could sense her hidden reluctance beneath her calm exterior.
“Sean, Abigail has a bad temper. She’s stubborn and doesn’t like to talk about what’s bothering her.
If something upsets you, try to make amends with her, communicate openly, and don’t resort to
silent treatment, okay?” Analise patted the back of his hand, her tone naturally affectionate.
Abigail understood why Analise was acting this way. The Graham Family was wealthy and powerful,
and she, a child raised by a rural woman, marrying into the Graham Family felt like an unexpected twist of fate. Therefore, Analise felt a deep sense of inferiority, thinking that Abigail had reached
for the stars by marrying Sean.
In fact, Abigail used to think the same way, which was why she felt so insecure, even in her love for Sean.
“She doesn’t have a bad temper. She’s been good to me for the past three years,” Sean said gently to Analise. Regarding her departure, he did not have strong feelings. He could not feel the same reluctance as Abigail, so his tone remained casual.
