The Spare Wife (Abigail Quinn and Sean Graham) novel Chapter 574

Chapter 574 Retreat 

Abigail snorted. “You looked down on me, assuming I had no thoughts of my own back then.” 

Sean held her hand and pulled her into his arms. “Abby, do you prefer the person you are now or the person you were in the past?” 

“What about you?” she asked. 

“I’ve always had feelings for you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have pursued you for such a long time,” Sean replied. In the past, whenever Abigail had mentioned divorce, he hadn’t taken it seriously. At first, he was upset, but now he realized he had been quite oblivious. Back then, he had mistaken her seriousness for playing hard to get. 

Intimately, they cuddled and finished the movie. Still, Luna had yet to come back, and Abigail guessed that she probably wouldn’t return tonight. “I don’t think Luna will be back today. Josh is quite cunning, luring her away with the promise of a movie,” she mumbled to Sean helplessly. 

Sean turned off the projector, recalling the scent of Abigail when she left his embrace. “It’s because they’re in love, or else Luna wouldn’t have left with him because of a few mere words from him.” In his opinion, Luna loved Josh a lot, or she wouldn’t have given in to him so easily, unlike Howard, whom she wouldn’t hesitate to reject. 

“You should go back now.” Abigail nudged his leg. 

“Okay.” 

As heartless as she had always been, she didn’t even consider keeping him for the night even though it was already so late.. 

The next morning, while Abigail was working, Cameron approached her and stopped, not knowing how to bring up the topic. “Just tell me what’s on your mind,” she said, staring at him. 

“You guys were right. Her parents are unhappy with my job, saying that I’m earning too little,” he said calmly. 

She had a hunch as she set the document aside. “What did she say?” 

“Isla mentioned she doesn’t have any issue with it. In case her parents oppose us, she’s willing to elope with me,” he said, reflecting on Isla’s stance, which brought him some solace. It was the first instance where he empathized with Abigail’s sentiments when Lina disparaged her. This experience provided insight into what it’s like to be judged, particularly by the family of someone he deeply cared about. 

“Do you think it’s alright for a postgraduate student to elope with you?” Abigail asked instead. 

When Isla mentioned this yesterday, Cameron was so overjoyed that he didn’t consider it much. 

“Clearly, it is inappropriate. In the future, the most Isla could be in Capitalis is a high school teacher. Haven’t you considered working hard for her since she has fallen for you?” she gently 

asked next. 

Cameron was helpless. “I told them that I plan to set up a security company, but her parents think that it’s not a dignified career because I’ll just be a watchdog at the door.” 

Scratching her head, Abigail suggested, “Why don’t we wait for Sean and listen to his opinion?” 

There were other choices for a dignified career. Still, they thought that a security company was the most suitable choice for Cameron because of his skills. 

“Being in a relationship is a little troublesome,” he mumbled. It was true that he liked Isla, but he wasn’t as infatuated with her as Sean and Abigail because he had only known her for a short time. 

Dumbfounded, she didn’t know what she should say and was quiet for a moment. “Let’s wait for 

Sean.” 

“I know that Isla is highly educated, and her family has raised her well. I think I can support a family with 15,000 a month, but her parents disagree.” Scratching his head, Cameron looked a 

little troubled. 

Knowing that he had received a blow, Abigail stood up and patted his shoulder comfortingly. “Are you stupid? I consider you as my brother, and you still think that you’re not good enough?” 

Cameron remained silent, overwhelmed with distress. Abigail decided to call Sean, who had initially planned to scout a location for Cameron’s security company. After receiving her call, Sean promptly returned to L.Moon. “You can start up another company if not a security company. What do you have in mind?” he asked. 

Cameron scratched his head. “Can I just give up?” 

Just then, Analise walked in and was anxious when she heard this. “What are you giving up on? The relationship?”
