Chapter 349 Change of Mind
Josh found Kelly’s idea appealing, but convincing Sean was no easy task. To some extent, Abigail and Sean shared similar personalities. Once they had formed an opinion about something, they were not quick to change their minds.
“You’re oversimplifying things. Sean won’t easily dispel his misunderstanding toward you with what Uncle Vincent has done to him. Instead of reaching out to Sean, you might be better off talking to Abigail directly,” Josh suggested as he tenderly stroked Kelly’s hair. Observing the great effort she had put into resolving the misunderstandings between her and Abigail, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt. Kelly’s inherent self-consciousness drove her to seek the approval of others, and she would go to great lengths to change someone’s negative opinion of her. He had often considered advising her against such behavior but hesitated, fearing it would damage her self-esteem.
“But Abigail doesn’t like me. The more I try to approach her, the angrier she’ll get. Josh, you and her are still friends. Can you talk to her about it? I’ll stay by Old Mrs. Graham’s side. What if it works?” She looked at him with hopeful eyes.
He furrowed his brows. “Do you genuinely want to be friends with Abigail, Kelly?”
“I know you care a lot about your relationship with Abigail, Josh. It’s because of me that things. have become strained between you two,” she admitted, her voice filled with guilt.
At that moment, Josh found himself at a loss for words, witnessing how Kelly consistently prioritized the feelings of others.
“Just trust me for once.” She gently shook her brother’s hand.
Looking at her, Josh sighed and said, “Alright, but be cautious. Before you earn Sean’s favor, think carefully about what you say.” Even though he knew that Sean wasn’t easy to talk to and was ruthless, Josh also knew his personality; as long as one didn’t step on his boundaries, he wouldn’t hurt anyone.
“Okay!” Kelly nodded. As soon as she lowered her gaze, a glint of triumph flashed across her eyes.
When Abigail and Luna came out of the studio, they saw Josh standing not far away.
“He has been waiting all afternoon, and he doesn’t even say what he wants. He just stands there,” Cameron whispered to Abigail.
Abigail thought, How smart of him. After all, by not disclosing the reason for his visit, Josh left Cameron with no grounds to kick him out.
“He’s definitely here because of Kelly again,” Luna said in a hushed voice.

As Abigail descended the steps, Josh approached her and uttered, “I’d like to have a serious conversation with you.”
Abigail responded, “If it’s about Kelly, you can just forget it.” She maintained her belief that maintaining distance from them would lead to a peaceful life, even though events rarely unfolded as planned.
