Chapter 216 She’d Be Angry
Analise let out a heavy sigh as she gazed at Sean, her voice laced with bitterness. “G-Get a divorce tomorrow. From now on… our two families will have nothing to do with each other. I don’t want to see any of you ever again..
Sean had arrived today with a glimmer of hope still lingering. However, she had clarified her stance, and he ultimately lost Abigail.
At his silence, Analise asked through her tears, “What did you people take my Abby for… How could you mistreat her this way? You bought the house for her. Why was she accused of stealing it… Abby’s the apple of my eye. I know our family isn’t good enough for the Grahams. After she married you, I kept telling her to compromise and let you get your way… How could you cheat on her? How could you betray her…”
The Abigail she loved so dearly suffered so terribly at the hands of the Grahams.
Sean held Analise’s hand tightly, unable to speak. He couldn’t deny that the Grahams had mistreated Abigail. Back when he hadn’t developed feelings for her, he disregarded how Lina treated her. Little did he know that before marrying him, she had been the apple of her grandparents’ eyes, and they also cherished her dearly.
By the time Abigail and Luna returned, the man had left.
Witnessing Analise’s silent tears, Abigail rushed forward to take her hand. “What’s the matter?” Her voice was filled with worry.
“It’s fine… I’m fine… Abby, you won’t have to put up with the Grahams once you file your divorce tomorrow. You can do whatever you want. I’ll take good care of myself. You won’t have to worry about me.” Analise’s eyes were swollen. She wouldn’t have wanted Abigail to get a divorce if the Grahams hadn’t gone too far.
Many women faced hardships after divorce, and Abigail would be no exception. Hence, Analise wished she were a few decades younger to continue looking after her.
Luna joined Abigail and gently assured Analise, “Old Mrs. Quinn, I’ll take good care of Abby. Even though she won’t have the Grahams anymore, shell still have me. Don’t worry. We’re like sisters- to each other.”
Analise smiled and nodded. She held Luna’s hand, hoping that Luna would become Abigail’s pillar of support.
The night sky darkened.
When Kevin found Sean drowning himself in alcohol at the hotel, he was utterly shocked. “You never drink so much. What’s going on?”
Caught up with work, Kevin hadn’t heard about the Grahams and Quinns situation. He wouldn’t have known that Sean had been drinking heavily in front of his client if that client hadn’t called Kevin.
“Am I not allowed to get drunk?” Sean shot back before taking another gulp.
Kevin’s expression grew solemn. “You never drink like this in front of clients. What on earth is going on?”
“They wanted to share a toast with me, so I ensured they got as many as they wanted. What’s wrong with that?” Sean eyed Kevin with a mocking smile.
“Something’s up with you. You’re never like this. What happened?” Kevin started getting frantic.
Sean didn’t speak. He quietly downed more alcohol.
“Did you get your heart broken?” Kevin sat down and asked.
Sean’s brows knitted together. “Do you only think of the worst when it comes to me?”
