The Spare Wife (Abigail Quinn and Sean Graham) novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163 Love That He Detested

Abigail struggled to push Sean away.

“This isn’t just about the crew. We need to consider if there are any hidden cameras in the hotel,” Abigail retorted, her eyes fixed on Sean.

Sean let out a cold chuckle. “Are you afraid of our relationship being exposed?”

“Just like how you initially looked down on me and were afraid of our marriage getting exposed,” Abigail countered, refusing to appear weak.

Sean released her and gazed at her with deep intensity. “Abigail, I have to ask, is loving someone something you can start and stop so easily in your heart?”

He remembered clearly that Abigail had married him because she loved him deeply.

“If I were to say that I regretted liking you and regretted marrying you, what then? Since the Moment your grandmother drugged me, I regretted it deeply. You were capable of leaving me for Joan, and for your grandmother, you could abandon me as well. I was the one constantly being cast aside by you,” Abigail said self-mockingly.

Sean fell into a long silence before he finally spoke, looking directly at Abigail. “Abigail, put yourself in my shoes. Would you abandon someone who raised you?”

“So, why is it wrong for me to let you go?” Abigail shot back.

It was just a matter of reciprocating what he did.

Besides, he was unwilling to talk about Joan at this point. Even now, he kept it from her.

“In the future, if Grandpa wants to see you, I’ll bring him to you,” Sean said calmly.

“I only hope that there will be no connection between us,” Abigail asserted firmly.

Sean pursed his lips, suddenly feeling somewhat powerless.

Back in the room, they had breakfast. Suddenly, Sean asked, “When did you start liking me? Can you tell me?”

“Just eat,” Abigail said, avoiding the topic.

“Even if I were to face a death sentence, I should at least be allowed to die understanding what I did wrong, right?” Sean smiled faintly, as if he had come to terms with Abigail giving up on him.

Abigail recalled a distant memory.

When she was engulfed by the sea, even though he was physically frail and usually aloof, he did everything to get her out of danger.

Abigail’s eyes turned slightly red, and tears fell onto the table without warning.

Sean was momentarily stunned, quickly grabbing a tissue to wipe away her tears.

Due to his saving her life when she was younger, she vowed to devote herself to him and tried her best to get closer to him.

Yet, she didn’t know why loving someone had to be so painful. Her love during those three years was much like a burden to him, and she had been met with his aversion and neglect.
