Chapter 217 A New Beginning
After filing their divorce papers, the two left the courthouse.
As soon as they appeared at the entrance, Cameron, who had been waiting outside, came over and handed an envelope to Sean.
Sean took the envelope and held it out to Abigail. “Honey… This is the last time I’ll be calling you
that.”
Abigail had planned on refusing to take the envelope from him, but after hearing his abrupt comment, a complicated mix of emotions welled up inside her. As she stared at Sean, she felt both wry and sad.
“Alright,” Abigail said coolly as she took the envelope.
With pursed lips, Sean gazed at Abigail. After a long silence, he averted his eyes and said, “I’ve made you
suffer a lot the past three years. When it came to both my family and our relationship, I disregarded your feelings and well–being. I want to apologize for that.”
Even Sean found the situation ironic.
Perhaps Abigail doesn’t want to listen to these meaningless words anymore. Maybe she’s been looking forward to the divorce for a long time now. I’m the only one who doesn’t wish to let her go. She has finally regained her freedom.
Abigail looked at Sean and said impassively, “That won’t be necessary. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways.”
She could still remember just how happy she had been when she married him. She had loved him in secret, and whenever she looked at him then, she thought everything was worth it.
From today onward, those memories would all be relegated to the past. She was going to lock them up and throw away the key–never to be revisited again.
Sean felt his chest tightening. He subconsciously loosened his tie before glancing at Abigail. “How do you want me to deal with the incident involving your grandmother?”
“You don’t need to ask for my opinion. That involves you and your family. It has nothing to do with me,” Abigail replied. Neither she nor Analise had the power to make any sort of request.
It wasn’t as if she could ask him to piss Lina off so that she would get a heart attack and end the hospital too.

The only way to resolve this matter was to carry on living their separate lives after the divorce and not have any more contact with each other.
Sean nodded. “Cameron, give Abigail a ride one last time.”
“No need,” Abigail rejected. “Luna’s waiting for me.
Cameron glanced tentatively at Sean.
Sean took one last look at Abigail before saying to Cameron, “Let’s go.”
When Abigail got into Luna’s car, she let out a long exhale.
Luna held her and said consolingly, “Congratulations on regaining your freedom. You can date
anyone you want now.”
Abigail leaned against Luna’s shoulder. “Yeah.”
In any case, he didn’t believe that a divorce signified the end of his relationship with Abigail. It could also be a new beginning.
Lynette nodded. “Has Lexie been pushing you too hard? If you don’t want to do it, the Pearsons can help you.”
