Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 11

“Accompany me to the Graham Estate tonight, Grandpa wants to see you”

Abigail stared at the stack of canceled orders in her hands. She was already

extremely frustrated, to begin with, but hearing Sean’s voice now only added

fuel to her fury. Thus, she said indifferently, “I’m not in the position to visit the

Graham Estate.”

At the other end of the line, Sean was quiet for a few seconds before

ordering, “We’re not divorced yet. You cannot decide whether you want to go

or not.”

Due to certain reasons, Sean was raised by his grandparents, Colby Graham

and Lina Toth, and listened to everything they said. Therefore, he didn’t object

when they wanted him to marry Abigail. During three years of his secret

marriage to Abigail, his understanding of the obligations of a husband and a

wife, besides the monthly coitus, was visiting the Graham Estate regularly to

show Colby and Lina how blissful they were as a form of assurance.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Whoever made the elderly couple sad was Sean’s enemy.

If this call had happened any other time, she would have thought that he

was being self–centered and demanding again. Yet, right when her company

was in a crisis, he called and threatened her to go to the Graham Estate with

him.

She couldn’t help but let out a contemptuous chuckle. My three years of love

and dedication were for nothing. Not a single shard of it had touched Sean.

For Joan’s sake, he’s willing to go as far as exterminating me.

So, she took a deep breath and went straight to the point. “Will you solve the

crisis at the studio if I go to the Graham Estate with you?”

Sean agreed without even thinking twice. “Okay. I’ll pick you up tonight.” After

he hung up, his spirits were better than he imagined, and his lips even curved

upward unintentionally.

He rarely took the initiative to contact Abigail and he would usually ask his

assistant to contact her whenever Colby wanted him to visit with her.

However, he decided to make this call personally because she had been

throwing a tantrum recently. So, in his opinion, this call would serve as an out

for her.

Sean called an internal line and gave his order emotionlessly, “Find out what

issues L.Moon has encountered. There’s no need to inform me about

anything and just take care of it straight away.”

Before the day was over, more than half of the canceled orders at L.Moon

were restored. While Luna was still worried about the 2.8 million that they

owed to the factory, the customers with canceled orders had all returned to

her. They agreed to raise the price to compensate for the losses of the studio,

and some even directly transferred the final payment without further

prompting.

So, she turned to Abigail with a look that was mixed with surprise and

concern. “Did Sean do this?”

Abigail’s heart, face, and words were equally cold as she uttered, “Yeah. A

meal in exchange for 2.8 million. That’s a good deal.”

At 7.00PM, Sean arrived on time to pick her up, and they went to the Graham

Estate without any exchange of words.

Before they entered the yard, he stopped in his tracks suddenly. When he

caught sight of the deadpan look on her face, he grumbled in

disgruntlement, “With this expression of yours, Grandpa will definitely smell a

rat.”

In a split second, she curled her lips into a professional smile. “Fret not. I’ll

finish the act since I’ve already given you my word.”

Sean’s eyes turned gloomy, and a ball of frustration welled up in his chest.

She says that she’s acting, which means she still wants a divorce. But I’ve

already solved the crisis for her studio. Why is she still unhappy? There was

only one reason he could think of, and he asked in sarcasm, “Did you already

find your next husband?”

Abigail wiped the smile off her face and answered provocatively, “So what if I

did?” Does he think that he’s the only one with special privileges and then

condemn me if I do the same?

The spot between his brows twitched in annoyance, but before he could say

anything, the main gates swung open, and Dahlia greeted them with a

surprised smile. “Mr. Sean and Ms. Abigail, you’re back!”

Sean held back his tongue and muttered softly in acknowledgment before

walking in. After they were indoors and changed into indoor slippers, one of

them went upstairs to look for Maverick, Sean’s father, while the other went to

the living room to meet Colby and Lina.

Lina called Abigail to her side and observed her body. “You’re still not

pregnant?” she asked and sighed. Then, she steered the conversation away.

“It’s alright. Try again next month.”

Although her last statement carried no blame, it sounded like a curse to

Abigail. There was no need for complicated incantations from Lina. Just those

words were enough for her to tense up as it served as a regular reminder

that this marriage was never equal when it started.

Before this, she would prepare for pregnancy so diligently because she

thought that Lina was sincerely concerned about her. Until one day when she

accidentally overheard Lina’s conversation with Dahlia, the butler, and heard

the disdain in her voice. “Back then, I agreed to their marriage solely because

I wanted her to bear our family a descendant. Her grandfather owes us a life,

so it has to be paid with life as well, and I can only acknowledge that the debt

is paid after a child is born. Otherwise, I wonder whether the Quinn Family is

just taking advantage of us because we’re indebted to them.”
