Chapter 243 The Power of a Present
Abigail stiffened up and glared at Sean, shouting, “I don’t want your life! I don’t care what you can give me. Let me go!”
Under the influence of alcohol, he clamped his hand firmly on her wrist, displaying a stubborn expression.
During their struggle, Abigail, wearing high heels, lost her balance and stumbled into Sean’s embrace. Seizing the opportunity, he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her passionately, intending to rekindle their connection.
Her body quivered as she was almost drawn into the intense kiss. However, her rationality prevailed, and she pushed him away, speaking slowly and deliberately, “We are divorced! You have no right to interrogate me over someone else’s present! Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to treat me like this?”
