The Spare Wife (Abigail Quinn and Sean Graham) novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201 What a Coincidence

As soon as Abigail walked toward Analise, she crouched down and playfully poked the orange kitten.

The orange kitten was startled by her appearance and quickly hid away.

Abigail couldn’t help but smile at this.

Analise averted her eyes with a touch of discomfort as she watched Abigail having fun with the kitten. “How long are you planning to stay this time?”

“I’ll probably leave tomorrow. I’ll take you to Pendorf once I wrap up my work. You can’t refuse this time, Grandma.” Abigail sat on a chair, looking serious.

Alas, Analise immediately expressed her rejection, saying, “I’ve already said it repeatedly. Don’t waste money on buying a house. Why won’t you listen to me?” She was well aware of how pricey properties were in Pendorf. So, she was only saying all this because she didn’t want to put too much pressure on Abigail.

“It’s not a waste of money. My savings are more than enough for something like this. I won’t even need to take a mortgage,” Abigail replied with quiet confidence.

“What if I don’t want to go to the city?” Analise asked softly.

Although Abigail understood that Analise had grown accustomed to the countryside, she couldn’t possibly allow her grandmother to stay here alone without her guilty conscience bugging her.

“Grandma, please listen to me…”

“You rarely visit me. Why don’t I cook some of your favorite dishes?” Analise changed the topic and refused to continue discussing it.

Abigail sighed wearily as she thought, It seems it would take a lot to convince Grandma to come with me.

She helped Analise water the plants in the yard after lunch. Suddenly, she received a call from

Eric.

Although she wasn’t exactly pleased with him at the moment, she still answered the call.

“Miss Quinn, I’m really sorry about what happened, especially after learning that Josh paid a visit to your home completely unannounced,” Eric started apologizing earnestly.

“Eric, I can empathize with the Pearsons. I understand that it’s hard for them to live with the knowledge that one of them is missing. However, I believe I’ve already made things abundantly clear during our call last time. So, why did Josh visit my grandmother?” She hoped that with her clear stance this time, Eric and Josh wouldn’t keep fixating on her.

“I’m sorry, Miss Quinn.” He couldn’t think of any other way to appease her other than apologizing to her again.

When she recalled that this person talking to her was a popular celebrity, she figured it wouldn’t do to be so harsh. So, she softened her tone and replied. “It’s okay. I’m not mad at you guys anymore. Just please don’t visit my grandmother to satisfy your curiosity. She’s getting on in age and doesn’t handle surprises very well.”

Eric answered guiltily, “I’m really sorry.”

“It’s fine. I’m a bit busy now, so I’ll be hanging up,” she said calmly.

Initially, he wanted to tell her more about the Pearsons’ situation. Unfortunately, there was no denying her stance on this matter. Therefore, he had no choice but to reluctantly end the call.

Meanwhile, Abigail continued with her chores after hanging up the phone. It didn’t matter to her what Eric and Josh had claimed; she would only believe in Analise’s words.
