Ch. 11..20

I Want a Divorce 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.

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

2/6 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.

One Meal for 28 Million However, he decided to make this call personally because she had been 3/6 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?” 12/16 Sun, One Meal for 28 Million 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.” 61%

At 7.00PM, Sean arrived on time to pick her up, and they went to the Graham Estate without any exchange of words.

4/6 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?” Sept 61%

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 One Meal for 28 Million that this marriage was never equal when it started.

6/6 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

I Want a Divorce Chapter 12-Colby had been an upright man all his life and would never tolerate something like this. Even if Abigail wanted to have a child, Sean would have to be a willing party as well.

Although Abigail was highly discomfited by Lina’s words, she only answered obediently, “Okay.” Colby couldn’t help but frown upon his wife’s actions. “The kids rarely come home as it is. Don’t bring this up at every chance you’ve got.”

“Don’t deny it. You want a grandchild as badly as I do,” Lina snapped.

Nonetheless, he changed the topic. “Abigail, some rumors have been going around outside recently. What do you think about them?” 1/7 Abigail maintained her usual meek demeanor. “I trust that Sean will handle it well.” Chapter 12 She’s Not a Maid 2/7 Her answer was well–received by Colby. “Ignore what the masses are saying.

You’re the only granddaughter–in–law the Graham Family acknowledges.

That woman who isn’t recognized by us will never enter our doors.” “You should work harder and bear him a child. Then, he’ll come home naturally,” Lina added. When Colby was about to lose his temper, she quickly stopped herself from saying more. “Okay, I’ll stop. Stay here for the night. I’ve prepared your favorite food for dinner.” Abigail wanted to say something, but Lina had already risen to her feet and paced into the kitchen happily.

When Colby’s stern, sharp eyes fell on Abigail’s face, they turned soft and gentle. “Don’t take Lina’s words to heart. She just wants you and Sean to have a blissful, complete family of your own.” “Yes, I know,” she answered softly.

He sighed at the sight of her looking so dim as though the fire in her had gone out. “How is your grandmother doing?” 16 Sun, 24 Sept 61%

In fact, she appeared a great deal happier. “She’s doing well.” 3/7 “Is she still unwilling to move here and live with you?” Colby inquired.

Abigail was in a trance for a couple of seconds before answering, “She’s used to life in a village and finds the city too noisy for her liking, but I’ve asked some villagers to help me keep a lookout for her.” Colby was an old friend of Abigail’s grandparents, Theodore Quinn and Analise Stein, and she chatted with him about some trivial stuff regarding Analise. She even knew how often Analise fed her chickens today, which showed how attentive she was to Analise.

Colby felt as though he was looking at another person through her face as he regarded her. “Theodore is lucky to have you.” Abigail paused for a second before breaking into a smile. “No, I’m the lucky one to be brought up by them.” She’s Not a Maid However, he said no more on the matter.

4/7 After dinner, Sean and Abigail retreated into their bedroom. This was the first time they were spending the night in the Graham Estate after their wedding night.

While Abigail was feeling a little uneasy, Sean broke the silence. “Grandma went for a physical checkup yesterday and her heart is not as it used to be.

Thank you for agreeing to her request to stay the night.” Abigail nodded expressionlessly. “You’re welcome. This is what I should do.” For the sake of 2.8 million, I can sleep anywhere, she added silently in her heart and walked further into the room decisively.

This was their marital suite and was originally decorated in black and white color schemes, which made the room simple and cold, but a soft carpet was just recently added. The lights were not turned on; only a red–colored, thick candle was lit on the coffee table in the living area.

Abigail stopped halfway and couldn’t stop herself from recalling their firstShe’s Not a Maid night as husband and wife. It didn’t help that the candlelight danced at the exact same angle.

5/7 That time, she thought that they would treat each other politely on their first night together, but somehow, they found themselves tangled in each other’s arms later. After that night, Sean suspected that she had drugged him and ignored her for a very long time afterward.

Her memories of this room didn’t bring her any fond memories, and she could clearly remember how agonizing her first time was. To make matters worse, Sean was half–mad at the time and refused to let her rest.

So, she closed her eyes and swallowed any bitterness that was welling up within her as she recollected herself for a moment and turned around to head out. “I–I’ll ask for another room from Dahlia.” Sean frowned. “Do you want Grandpa and Grandma to know that we’re sleeping separately?” A surge of hot steam rushed into her head, and she took a few deep breaths 24 Sept 61%

She’s Not a Maid before saying dispassionately, “Okay, we’ll sleep on separate beds, then.

You’ll take the couch.” 6/7 The frown on his face deepened. “Why should I be the one to take the couch when I’m not the one who came up with the idea to sleep separately?” he pointed out in disgruntlement.

A speechless Abigail thought, Fine, I’ll take the couch. It’s only one night.

There’s no reason for me to give a sh*t when he’s not even worried that Joan will be jealous.

Outside the room, Lina took a look at the bowl on the tray Dahlia was holding and asked in a whisper, “Did you add it in already?” “Yes, I added it according to the dosage. It won’t cause them any damage,” Dahlia replied in a hushed voice. “But, are you sure it’s okay to do this?” “I don’t see any problem with it. She has everything to gain if she’s pregnant. If she’s still not pregnant after this, I’m afraid that she wouldn’t be able to bear a child. I have to make early preparations if that happens. Now, go on and She’s Not a Maid make her eat this,” Lina instructed with a stone–cold face.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 13-After Abigail finished washing up, she placed the blankets on the couch and snuggled in when a knock came at the door. She jerked upright with a bounce as she whispered urgently to Sean, who was in bed, “Did you lock the door?” Sean narrowed his eyes at her and asked loudly, “What’s the matter?” “Mr. Sean, it’s me,” Dahlia said. “Old Mrs. Graham prepared some pudding earlier and would like you to try some. I’ll be coming in now if you’re still

awake.” The knob turned and opened with a click.

Abigail literally jumped up from the couch and stuffed the blankets under the bed while Dahlia was passing through the corridor into the bedroom area.

After that, she flipped open Sean’s blankets and slipped in like a fish. The moment she slipped in, she accidentally hit his chest and they both grunted.

Like to Eat in Bed This noise sounded amorous at night, and Dahlia stopped abruptly while walking in. Then, she asked tentatively, “Mr. Sean and Ms. Abigail… May I come in?” Sean gritted his teeth as he glanced at the head with the top sexposed hidden beneath the blanket. An unreadable, dark look washed over his eyes.

“Come in,” Abigail played along and climbed out of the blankets. After she straightened her messy hair, she greeted Dahlia with a smile, “Hi, Dahlia,” She was about to get out of bed when Dahlia hurriedly stopped her. “You don’t have to get out. I’ll bring it to you and take it away once you’re finished.” As Abigail stole a look at the blankets which were not completely hidden, she was certain that Dahlia would realize what was happening if she was here and came to a quick decision–pinching Sean hard under the blankets.

She had no idea which part she had pinched, but it was hard and even hurt her fingers a little. Sean’s expressionless face winced for a second as he was 1218 Sun,

200tle to Eat in Sed the unfortunate recipient of her actions, and blood rushed to his face. So, he hastily got up on the bed and extended his hands to Dahlia. “Pass it to me.” 3/6 Dahlia passed it to him as instructed. “Okay, you can feed her, then.” Sean’s hands turned rigid for a second, and his thin lips smirked. Then, he deftly placed the tray on the bedside table next to him, picked up the bowl, scooped some pudding with the spoon, and delivered it to Abigail’s lips.

At this point, Abigail was speechless and confused. Frankly, she didn’t know what Sean was expecting her to do and looked him in the eyes steadily. He raised his brows, shifting his gaze from her face to the spoon and hinting at her that he wasn’t going to put it away.

Even though she wasn’t a pretentious person and had sincerely loved him for three whole years, she still found it a little awkward to be so lovey–dovey with him in front of others, especially since it was the first time. She knew it was just a pretense, but her heart still fluttered against her chest. On the other hand, her rationale was reminding her that Sean now belonged to Joan.

Don’t Like to Eat in Bed Since she didn’t expect that Sean would help her, she thought about it for a second before saying, “I don’t like to eat in bed.” 4/6 Dahlia watched in dismay as the pudding that had already reached Abigail’s lips didn’t end up in her mouth and hurriedly tried to smooth over the situation. “Oh, it’s only this one time. Don’t fuss over it. Mr. Sean has never fed anyone food in his life!” Abigail breathed deeply and ate the pudding Sean was feeding her when she realized that Dahlia wasn’t going to leave until she had the pudding. As they were sitting and facing the same direction, Sean would occasionally touch her face while holding the spoon.

Her skin was smooth and soft, just like satin, and her cherry–red lips were stained with the sugary liquid from the dessert, giving off a glossy shine and looking like a ripe peach under the light.

He gulped discretely as he held the spoon still in the air for a while. “Is it delicious?” 12:18 Sun, 24 Sept 0 Don’t Like to Eat In Bed Dahlia hastily chirped in, “Would you like to try, too?” 607 5/6 The last thing Abigail wanted was to share a spoon with him because it gave her the idea that they were sharing an indirect kiss.

Therefore, she snatched the bowl from him and finished the pudding in a gulp as she raised her brows at Sean provocatively. “It’s yummy.” But you can’t have any of it.

Amused by her reaction, he chuckled loudly, and Dahlia looked at them once more before hastily keeping away the tray and leaving quietly.

In the meantime, Lina was still waiting at the door, and it was all she could do to stop herself from sticking her ear to the door to eavesdrop. When Dahlia came out with an empty bowl, her eyes practically sparkled. “They finished it?” “Yes, but it’s a shame that Ms. Abigail is the only one who ate it,” Dahlia answered softly.

Septe.o Bar in Bed 6/6 “It’s not a problem. As long as he’s a man, he won’t be able to turn her down,” Lina said. This time, I’m sure I’ll get a grandchild! “Clean the bowl and don’t leave any traces behind,” she added, sounding satisfied.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 14-Meanwhile, in the room, Abigail immediately rolled out of bed as soon as Dahlia left. Unfortunately, Sean pressed her down on the bed before she could successfully escape from his clutches.

She instinctively used her hand to shove him away. As a result, she did manage to create some distance between them. “She’s already gone.

There’s no need for us to act now.” Alas, he simply gazed deeply at her, his voice hoarse when he asked, “Didn’t

you want this when you grabbed me earlier?” A confused and speechless Abigail shrieked in dismay, “I was just reminding you not to let Dahlia come to my side of the bed! Are you a sex addict or something? How do you always relate everything to that?!” Nonetheless, he merely ignored her while he suppressed his desire and guided her hand downwards until it landed on a certain place.

There Was Only One Thought on Her Mind At this rate, she had a strong urge to just remove her hand from her body 2/9 forever. Sure, it would be difficult to live without a hand, but she would make it work somehow. Still, she desperately tried to withdraw her hand from his grip, her face was flushed crimson. “What are you doing?!” He responded by enunciating each word slowly yet firmly, “Remind me again, did you have to grab me here earlier?” When she made a mad grasp at him a moment ago, her aim was rather unfortunate. Coupled with her panicked grip, it hurt so terribly that he suspected that she wanted his line to end with him today.

Abigail finally realized what he was insinuating. Her face turned into a rather violent shade of red, but she stubbornly retorted, “Fine. Let me go. I need to wash my hands.” Sean’s eyes darkened. “You’re disgusted by something you use?” She earnestly replied, “You should know that what I’m avoiding might not be an object…” There Was Only One Thought on Her Mind But the person? Does she really despise me that badly? Sean’s previously good mood disappeared in a puff of smoke when he thought of that.

3/9 The hazy mist in his eyes gradually dissipated as he calmly regarded her for a few seconds. Then, he turned around and got off the bed. “You can have the bed.” With that said, he walked straight out of the room.

Abigail didn’t care where he was going; since he had already given her permission to use the bed, she would obediently make use of it.

It was probably due to the sudden change of location as she failed to fall asleep even though she was utterly exhausted. In the end, she kept tossing and turning in bed, trying desperately to get some shut–eye. To make matters worse, she felt increasingly warm, which did nothing for her already discomfited state.

Why does it feel so hot and humid when it’s only March?

There Was Only One Thought on Her Mind Abigail agitatedly undid two buttons on her sleeping gown, only to find the temperature still too high for her. Moreover, for some reason, she kept thinking about Sean’s hand holding the spoon when he was feeding her the pudding earlier.

4/9 She could tell at a glance that his fair and long arms were quite strong.

Wait, why am I thinking about him at a time like this?! She couldn’t help but feel annoyed at herself for being so easily charmed by his looks. Eventually, her emotions got the better of her as she kicked the blanket off her person in a fit of ire.

Just as sleep had finally descended upon her, someone pushed open the door and entered the room.

Sean couldn’t help but slightly raise an eyebrow at the sight of the person on the bed.

In the dimly lit bedroom, the moonlight was filtered by the thick and luxurious curtains, leaving only a faint glow that fell on her slim waist.

There Was Only One Thought on Her Mind That was the place he loved to touch the most when they were intimate; both his hands could easily encircle it.

60 A sly glint flashed in Sean’s eyes. He had told her to sleep on the bed, but he didn’t say anything about him sleeping on the couch.

5/9 Therefore, he naturally slid under the covers on the other side of the bed. Just as he was about to close his eyes, a pair of warm, soft, slender, and fair hands caressed his chest.

Her fingers then slipped in through the gap between his buttons and slid downwards.

She acted without restraint by entwining her slender and straight legs.

around his body in the cover of the darkness. When her softness unintentionally brushed against him, the man’s breathing gradually grew heavy. Yet, his voice remained as cold as ever when he demanded, “You didn’t want it earlier, so why play this game of cat and mouse now?” Unfortunately, Abigail was tormented by the heat invading her senses and Sun,

6/9 couldn’t care less about the man’s sarcasm. She even let out a little moan to tempt him.

Emboldened by the little noises she was making; he couldn’t be considered a man if he continued restraining his desires.

Thus, he swiftly pressed her back onto the bed with one hand.

Her babbles were drowned by provocative kisses as his slightly cool tongue forced its way past her teeth, greedily taking every breath that belonged to her.

There was only one thought in her mind.

Well, the audacity of the man! I’m clearly unwell, yet he dared to insinuate that I’m the wanton one in this tattered relationship! He was the one who would do anything to sleep with me!

Hence, Abigail didn’t feel like she was going against her conscience now that she had that particular thought fueling her sanity.

There Was Only One Thought on Her Mind Alas, at the critical moment, Sean’s phone, which had been placed aside, started ringing now, of all times.

7/9 Neither of them paid any attention to it at first, but the person on the other end wasn’t clearly inclined to give up. The calls kept coming one after another.

Sean eventually reached for his phone and answered the call.

A woman’s crying voice faintly came through the phone.

He didn’t even hesitate for a second before he swiftly pulled away from Abigail, hastily sputtering, “Wait for me. I’ll be there right away.” In fact, he didn’t even spare a glance at Abigail after hanging up the call.

Instead, he hurriedly put on his clothes before leaving. He didn’t even bother to look at her once from the beginning to the end.

Abigail lay alone in the darkness as she stared at the ceiling while her body burned with passion, but her heart felt as cold as ice.

There Was Only One Thought on Her Mind She felt tortured as she was forced to endure such extreme differences as her mind and body warred against one another. After a while, the tip of her nose started to sting as she lowered her head and glanced at her near–naked body.

She had heard people say that once an arrow was on the string, it had to be shot; no man could stop at the critical moment.

What kind of true and sincere feelings did Sean have for Joan to be able to stop at a time like this?

Abigail stared blankly at the ceiling as she lay utterly motionless for a time.

Fortunately for her, she had all the time in the world to finally regain her composure even though her body still burned.

8/9 This time, it was nothing like the night of their wedding, where she had found release. Even though the process left a great deal to be desired, she was still somewhat happy.

She knew she was a fool. Regardless, she wasn’t that stupid to not notice that There Was Only One Thought on Her Mind there was something wrong with the pudding Dahlia brought earlier, And the night of their wedding… Was that also her doing?

Abigail couldn’t tell if she was disappointed or broken–hearted.

Although her legs refused to cooperate with her at times, she still forced herself to go to the bathroom and filled the bathtub with cold water. Then, she even brought out all the chilled drinks and alcohol from the bedroom’s mini fridge. Once she tossed everything into the bathtub, she stepped into the tub with her gritted teeth.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 15-Cold.

It was a chill that went bone deep.

Abigail leaned against the edge of the bathtub. Although the cold water sluicing against her skin helped somewhat, it was still a terrible ordeal to endure after she was drugged with an aphrodisiac. Fortunately, she somehow managed to drift off to sleep.

She soaked in the cold water all night, and the next day, she felt somewhat

dazed.

Before she left, she also made it a point of informing Dahlia. “Sean went out early last night and didn’t come back all night. I don’t know what he’s doing, but I’m not waiting for him; I’m going to work.” She didn’t care about what Sean was up to. She just wanted Dahlia to inform Lína that the two of them hadn’t consummated their marriage last night.

One Final Blow Also, she wasn’t the one who ran away.

པའ60- 2/9 She didn’t even know how she left Graham Residence. When she stood at the doorstep of her studio, Luna was taken aback by her pale face. “Where did you go last night? How did you end up like this?” Then, she hastily went over to support the dangerously swaying Abigail. Yet, the moment her skin touched Abigail, she could tell that Abigail was definitely running a high fever. “Why did you come here when you have a fever?! I’m taking you to the hospital right now.” Abigail weakly waved her hand in dismissal. “No, I want to go home and sleep. Just give me a ride.” Then, she instinctively touched her belly as those words fell from her lips.

That was the spot where she had received numerous injections to stimulate ovulation. After she left that dreadful place the last time, she was traumatized enough that just hearing the word ‘hospital‘ could make her nauseous.

One Final Blow As Luna had been her best friend for many years, she immediately 3/9 understood what Abigail meant. “Okay, we don’t have to go there if you don’t want to. I’ll take you home.” Then, she caressed Abigail’s forehead out of concern as she immediately put aside her pressing work and drove Abigail back to the apartment.

As Luna puttered about, pouring her water and frantically searching for fever–reducing medicine, she started questioning, “Did Sean bully you? You were fine when you left. How did you end up in such a state?” Abigail didn’t want to worry Luna, so she didn’t tell Luna the truth. “It’s nothing.

I probably didn’t sleep fitfully last night. You know how I am with my blankets. I probably just caught a cold. So, you can go back now. I don’t want to infect you with whatever I’m coming down with. Besides, I’ll make sure to take the medicine. I’m sure I’ll be as fit as a fiddle soon enough” As she said this, she forced herself to open her eyes. “I finally managed to get our business back on track. I won’t feel at ease if you’re not there to ensure 12.19 Sun, One Final Blow that everything goes smoothly. Please just return to the studio as soon as you can.” 4/0 The 2.8 million she got by soaking in cold water all night came at a high cost.

She couldn’t afford to lose it again.

The heartbroken Luna parted her lips to say something, but she couldn’t even.

find the words to comfort Abigail. She truly couldn’t imagine how badly cornered Abigail was feeling that she started viewing money as more valuable than her life. She remembered that Abigail had always been rather minimalistic, just what had happened to her?

Finally, she gritted her teeth and took out her phone. “I’ll head to the studio right now, so don’t worry.

“Just have a good rest. I already told my brother that you’re sick, and he’s on his way.” 12:19 Sun, 24 Sept 0 One Final Blow Abigail was awakened by the knocking on the door.

She remembered that Luna had said her brother, Zachariah, would come to take care of her before she fell asleep. So, that was probably him. Although she didn’t want to move, she struggled to sit up and open the door.

5/9 As she opened the door, she was met with a pair of familiar almond–shaped eyes.

The person in front of her was also startled. As he looked at her in disbelief, the light in his eyes shifted from anticipation to complete bewilderment. “Ms.

Abigail? Why are you here? No, wait… Why is it you?” The stunned Kevin only managed to close his jaw with a click, which had dropped out in surprise. Then, he retracted the foot he had confidently placed into the house.

“Why can’t I be at my own home? So? Why are you here?” A chill swept in from outside the door, and Abigail instinctively moved to the side, making way for Kevin. She didn’t want to stand in the cold, nor did she want to leave One Final Blow Kevin standing outside.

“I didn’t expect Sean to hide you even after being married for so long,” Kevin commented lightly. When he noticed her frail state, he didn’t hesitate to awkwardly squeeze in. Nonetheless, the excitement and anticipation in his eyes unconsciously diminished as it was replaced by respect.

“By the way… What’s your relationship with Zachariah?” Kevin asked tentatively.

6/9 “He’s my best–my boss Luna’s elder brother.” Abigail almost slipped up. “Ah… Is your car fixed now?” She quickly changed the topic. Unfortunately, she was feeling a bit dizzy as she forced herself to get up from bed. So, she leaned against the wall, forcing herself to focus on the person in front of her.

“That’s just a minor issue. Where’s Sean? Why isn’t he taking care of you?” Now that he understood her relationship with Zachariah, Kevin felt relieved and probed further.

One Final Blow It would have been fine and dandy if Kevin hadn’t just brought that despicable name into her humble abode. Now that she was forced to think about the person with that name, she couldn’t help but recall her getting intimate with Sean last night.

719 Then, she thought about how he urgently rushed out after receiving a phone call. Sht, what a scmbag.

Abigail coldly snapped, “How would I know?

“I’ll pour you a glass of water. Just sit for a while and run along. I’m fine.

However, I’m sorry for inconveniencing you and making you come all this way for nothing.” Abigail was truly too exhausted to deal with anything. Frankly, all she wanted to do was have a lovely snooze fest in her bed. Apparently, that was not in the cards for her today.

As she picked up a glass from the table and turned to go to the kitchen… Crash!

One Final Blow A crisp sound of glass shattering came from the kitchen.

Kevin quickly threw his phone aside and rushed to the kitchen. That was when he saw Abigail unconscious on the floor. Her slender arm was cut by the broken glass, and drops of blood fell on the floor, leaving splatters of red flowers staining the floor.

“F*ck… Ms. Abigail!” Kevin didn’t have time to worry about keeping his distance from his friend’s wife as he shook Abigail’s shoulder. Still, he quickly withdrew his hand due to the scorching temperature.

This is bad!

So, he quickly carried the unconscious Abigail and rushed out of the house.

8/9 He gingerly placed her in the passenger seat and stepped on the gas, driving away in his car without noticing a familiar dark figure not far away.

One Final Blow The person in the shadows finally moved after staring at the departing red Ferrari.

9/9 “Mr. Graham… I think that was Mr. Stewart.” Xavien, who was standing behind Sean, looked at Sean’s cold face in bewilderment. “S–Should we still go up?” Sean lifted his eyes, emotionlessly gazing at Kevin’s car as it left, his eyes exuding a chill that seemed to lower the surrounding temperature significantly.

“Let’s go back.” After a long pause, he finally issued a command. The assistant obediently started the car and left the residential area without looking back.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 16-Abigail woke up in the hospital.

When she opened her eyes, a handsome face loomed way too close… She was so startled that she quickly shut her eyes and slowly opened them again. It was still the same face, but this time it was clearly smiling. He looked somewhat rakish, with thick eyebrows, almond–shaped eyes, and fair skin that seemed blindingly white. Due to his porcelain fair skin, the two large dark circles under his eyes were particularly conspicuous.

“You’re finally awake.” Kevin let out a sigh of relief after watching Abigail’s amber pupils transition from haziness to clarity. Then, he tilted his head back, looking half–dead as he propped himself up on the hospital bed.

She struggled to sit up halfway on the bed and looked around, only to find Kevin alone in the ward. She couldn’t pretend like she wasn’t moved by his help when she asked, “You didn’t keep vigil the entire time, did you?” 12:19 S Wife 2/6 Then, she seemed to suddenly remember something. Who knows how long I have been unconscious! Someone like Kevin counts money by the second, right? Oh God, how much do I owe him?

So, she blurted, “I don’t have the money to pay for your nursing fees!” Kevin stared at her dumbfoundedly, unable to find the words to say anything to that strange remark. However, he did notice that this beautiful woman would constantly bring up money every time they met.

“Wait a second, is Sean really going bankrupt? Why are you so stingy?” He smirked, and a shrewd light flickered in the depths of his tea–colored, narrow almond–shaped eyes.

Abigail had no intention of spilling her sob story to gain sympathy from him.

Besides, she was afraid that he would turn his back on her if she said she was divorcing Sean.

Still, she owed him a favor that had to be repaid. “I’m sorry you had to go through all that trouble because of me. What would you like to eat? It’s my Bros Wife treat.” She was about to reach out to find her phone and search for a high–end restaurant nearby.

“Forget about the food.” Kevin crossed his legs and sat back on the nearby couch. “Why don’t you do me a favor instead?” 376 “Tell me and I’ll see what I can do,” Abigail replied with a wary look in her eyes.

He raised an eyebrow slightly at her defensive posture. “It’s not a big deal. I just wanted to ask if you could help me talk to Alana. My subordinates almost wore a hole through my floor when you guys left just like that last time. They kept insisting I should do something about it and seek Alana out.” Naturally, Abigail was more than thrilled!

Luna was devastated after they lost the East Joy Talent contract. Who could have thought that the same order would come knocking on their door?

Bro’s Wife Nonetheless, Abigail pretended to hesitate as she didn’t want to blow her cover.

4/6 Thankfully, Kevin was rather naive as he thought that the strange expression on Abigail’s face meant that she was genuinely hesitant. “I know that she has recently become a widow and is indeed in a bad mood. So, there’s no need to force it. I’ll try again when there’s another opportunity.” However, there was no way she was going to let the opportunity which had been served to her on a silver platter slip through her fingers just like that.

So, she immediately replied, “It’s alright. It’s past the mourning period for Ms.

Alana’s husband. There is no problem.” Then, she quickly turned around to find her phone and called Luna to inquire about the contract.

Luna truly was the world’s best friend as she immediately understood the situation. Then, she wasted no time rushing to the hospital half an hour later with the contract and some design samples.

Bro’s Wife 5/6 Since they had already discussed this prior to this and Kevin was in a hurry to sign the contract, there was naturally no room for negotiation. Therefore, both parties reached an agreement at the table in the ward in less than ten minutes.

Alas, Kevin had a strange quirk. He had always been very fond of pretty handwriting ever since he was a child.

So, every time he was done with signing a contract, he would habitually flip to the end to look at everyone’s signature and compare them.

This time, by coincidence, not only did he take a glance at the signature, but he also skimmed through the design samples. Thus, his keen eyes noticed that the signature below the design was completely different from Luna’s handwriting.

So, who exactly is Alana?

Kevin’s eyes lit up, and there was a hint of playfulness and curiosity in his gaze as he scrutinized the two women for a while before smiling. “I’ll take my Bro’s Wife leave now then, Ms. Alana.” Abigail nodded, but Luna didn’t even budge.

bu Kevin cheerfully turned around and left the hospital room as he took note of their reaction or lack thereof.

After Kevin left, Luna practically deflated, causing any feigned composure she had earlier to disappear in the blink of an eye. Her eyes were wide when she asked Abigail, “When did you get involved with Kevin? Did Sean threaten you again?” Abigail looked puzzled. “Isn’t he your brother’s friend?”

I Want a Divorce Chapter 17-What?” Luna didn’t keep in touch with her family after moving out. If it weren’t for the urgent situation and the difficulty in getting someone reliable, she wouldn’t have turned to Zachariah for help.

17 What she didn’t expect was him standing her up after she had, for once in her life, reached out to him.

So, the very annoyed Luna sent a scathing voice message to Zachariah, chewing him out without using even a hint of vulgar language, and promptly blocked him.

Abigail could only stare wide–eyed as Luna yelled at her phone.

Once Luna was done, she shook her short blue hair nonchalantly. “Don’t feel bad for me. I was adopted anyway, and our relationship isn’t exactly fantastic. If it weren’t so urgent and I truly needed the help, I wouldn’t have 12:20 Sun, 24 Sept 0.

Mourning Period bothered to contact him.” Abigail looked at Luna as the latter complained. Still, she only felt relieved when she saw nothing but frustration in Luna’s eyes.

Luna suddenly changed the topic. “By the way, I picked out a few gowns for you this morning. Try them on later.” 27 “I didn’t really see a point in making a big fuss about attending the East Joy Talent’s gala since I only got the invitation due to a whim. However, that has changed now that we will be collaborating in the future. A lot is at stake, so we have to make sure we don’t embarrass ourselves. There will be many celebrities and socialites attending. It will be a good opportunity for publicity,” Luna analyzed the situation seriously.

Abigail thought it over for a moment and nodded in agreement. “Alright, but there aren’t many samples left at home. The styles you picked might be from last year’s autumn collection. Should I make new ones? It wouldn’t be appropriate for us to wear old designs, especially since we’re in the fashion 12:20 Sun, 24 Septe.

3/7 Luna’s eyes lit up in glee. “Oh, my God! Really?! I haven’t worn the clothes you designed in… well, ages!” Abigail’s designs were in high demand. So, Luna could never bring herself to wear the clothes Abigail had designed when she would always end up selling them for a pretty penny.

The moment they started discussing matters regarding fashion design, a confident gleam appeared in Abigail’s eyes. It was as though she was a changed person as she reassured Luna, “Don’t worry. I will definitely make you shine above all else!” Luna let out an evil giggle at that.

Oh, no! It will be Abigail who will shine above all else!

Kevin wore oversized black sunglasses as he strode into Sean’s office inside Graham International’s office building before he carelessly threw himself into Sept

4/7 the chair in front of Sean’s desk. Then, he knocked on the desk. “Sean, do you have your wife’s handwriting?” Sean knew Kevin well; he was the kind of person who didn’t believe in looks when it came to picking up girls but loved to judge them based on their handwriting.

When he recalled the intimate scene he witnessed between them under the apartment, Sean felt even more uncomfortable.

They have only met once. Since when were they so close?

As he felt increasingly annoyed, he frowned. “Are you blind? Can’t you see I’m busy?” Kevin raised his hands in surrender. “Geez, alright. You do your thing.” He stood up and unabashedly started rummaging through Sean’s desk.

Even though Sean didn’t say anything, his eyes turned as cold as a thousand–year–old iceberg with a fleeting glint of fire.

Mourning Period Kevin shuddered as though he could sense the hostility emanating from Sean and immediately ceased his actions. “Just her signature? Can I take a look at just that?” 5/7 Sean reached under the desk and pulled out a stack of papers, tossing them on the table in front of Kevin. “Is this what you’re looking for?” Kevin leaned in to take a look and saw the words ‘Divorce Agreement‘ written in big letters. “Uh… I have no intention to meddle in your affairs; I just want to confirm something,” he uttered absentmindedly, flipping through the papers quickly until he found Abigail’s signature. His eyes instantly turned serious when they landed on the signature.

It was just as he suspected.

Kevin excitedly took out his phone and took a photo of the signature, completely ignoring the fact that Sean’s face had turned completely dark.

How interesting.

Kevin inhaled deeply and gave Sean a meaningful look the instant he had confirmed his speculation. I wonder if Sean knows.

6/7 “Sean, do you know what Ms. Abigail is doing in L.Moon?” Kevin asked, stroking his chin.

A cold and sharp voice replied waspishly, “Shouldn’t you know better than me?” Ha! He doesn’t know. This is getting really interesting.

As Kevin gazed at the ‘widowed‘ Sean who was oozing a cold aura in front of him, he smiled, showing off his pearly whites. “Ms. Abigail told me today that the mourning period for Alana’s husband has already passed.” Sean felt perplexed. “What does that have to do with me?” Mourning Period Kevin fell silent for a while before humming, “I believe now that you were forced to marry Abigail in the first place.” Such a big surprise had been right beside Sean for so many years. Yet, he hadn’t noticed a thing. Now, Kevin was eagerly anticipating seeing Sean’s expression when he found out that Abigail was the elusive Alana he had been searching for.

717 Alas, Sean was completely focused on something else. “What’s it to you? Are you interested in her?” Kevin thought that he was just joking, so he casually replied, “Why do you care about these things? You’re already divorced.”

I Want a Divorce Chapter 18-Once Kevin finished his speech, he caught a hint of flash inside Sean’s eyes and quickly stopped talking. Then, he threw an invitation on the table and ran away as though his life depended on it. Before running out the door, he added, “By the way, Alana has signed an agreement with us. Didn’t you mention you wanted to book her latest design? Remember to come over.” He was eager to see how Sean would react once he found out Abigail was Alana.

“Get out,” Sean ordered coldly.

“Okay!” With that, Kevin left, leaving Sean to skim through the contract.

However, his gaze would inadvertently land on the divorce settlement. We had a passionate night last night, and she’s already anxious to make Kevin her second man today. Heh, how bold of her.

Frustrated, he tugged on his tie and heard a faint ring from his phone. When he glanced at it, he discovered Joan had sent him an invitation to East Joy Divorce Settlement Talent’s fashion gala, along with the text, ‘East Joy Talent has sent over their invitation! Thank you so much, Sean. I wouldn’t have gotten such an opportunity if it hadn’t been for you. Would you like to come with me?‘ Looking at the invitation on his desk, he pondered momentarily and replied, ‘Sure.‘ Just after sending that text, he received a call from his grandmother, so he hurriedly answered it. “Grandma.” 2/0 “Did you give Abigail the things I asked you to deliver?” Lina’s kind voice had a trace of authority in it.

It would have been better if she had not mentioned that because it reminded Sean of the morning. He thought that since their relationship had reached its end, he would end it right there. Therefore, he used the excuse of helping Lina to ask around for Abigail’s new address. However, he never expected to bump into the scene of her and Kevin together.

He replied in a deep tone, “I’m busy and don’t have the time.” WebSouls.

Divorce Settlement 3/6 “How could there be no time for you to do such a simple task? You can give it to her after work!” The voice from the phone seemed somewhat angry, but she suddenly thought of something and added, “She had been taking medicine for three years, but nothing happened still. Is she infertile? Have you gone for a checkup?” Feeling vaguely uncomfortable after hearing that, Sean took a deep breath and explained, “Us not having a child has nothing to do with her.” As Abigail was not around, Lina did not have to pretend anymore and scoffed. “Your grandfather is such a stubborn mule, insisting on letting her marry you. It’s been many years since then, so you can give her the money and end this relationship if you have no feelings for her. Also, is Joan pregnant yet?” He frowned. “Grandma, there’s nothing between Joan and me. I’m just taking care of her out of a promise.” Lina retorted silently, You even left Abigail last night. How can you say there’s 12 20 Sun, 24 Sept 0 GO ivorce Settlement nothing between you two? However, she said, “Fine. I know my grandson is the most reliable, I’m saying that we can’t let a descendant of the Graham Family stay outside.” 46 In other words, if Joan was pregnant with Sean’s son, he could bring the child back. After all, they were not wary that Abigail would not accept the child. Her sole purpose in marrying Sean was to bear his children, and since she had not been able to deliver, they would let another woman do it instead.

Suddenly, Sean recalled that though Abigail accompanied him to the Graham Estate every month, she seemed to dislike returning there. Besides giving birth to his child, she was willing to do anything. So, was it because she was forced to listen to such seemingly pleasant but truthfully hurtful words whenever she returned there?

Even he felt like he could not stand it anymore. “Did you say you weren’t feeling well? Stop worrying about such matters and focus on your rest.” After hanging up the phone, he sat inside his office but could not help but grab his keys and call Kevin. “Where did you bring Abigail?” Divorce Settlement Then, Kevin began laughing hysterically. “How did you know I brought her away? Did you send someone to spy on me?” 5/6 Sean threatened, “Kevin, I heard from your brother that your family company has projects in a rural town that no one is willing to go…” “Ahem!” Kevin choked on a cough and almost fainted from suffocation. He yelled in frustration, “Sean, you’re horrible! Am I a friend or foe?” “Address.” Sean immediately hung up and soon received a location on his phone, along with an angry emoji. ‘You will regret threatening me!‘ Initially, Kevin was ready to tell him about Abigail’s real identity, but now, he had decided not to. Since they were friends, they could just trick each other!

Sean replied to the text, ‘I don’t care.’ On the other hand, Abigail was discharged from the hospital after feeling

Divorce Settlement better. She packed her things and was about to leave when she coincidentally bumped into Sean alighting from his car.

65 At that moment, she still donned the same casual outfit when hospitalized, with Luna’s coat draped around her shoulders. No mirror was needed for her to know how pale and dispirited she looked.

However, she was stubborn and did not want to embarrass herself before the man. As she turned around to leave, Sean strode toward her and said, “Grandma has something for you.” Of course, there was also something he wanted to give her. After sweeping his gaze across her figure, he saw her pale lips, unamused. “What happened to you?

I Want a Divorce Chapter 19-Not wanting to mention last night, Abigail cut in. “This has nothing to do with you.” Sean had yet to speak but was already angered by her words. His face instantly turned cold as ice as he retorted, “Then, who does? Kevin?” She was shocked. What does this have to do with Kevin?

Seeing that she was not speaking, he spoke even more sarcastically, “Abigail, I never pictured you like this. On the one hand, you say you want a divorce

when you’re seducing me. On the other hand, you’re eagerly trying to get things on with Kevin. Why didn’t I know you were so smooth and slick before?” With a puzzled expression, she questioned, “Who’s seducing you?” And who’s trying to get things on with Kevin?

He scoffed. “Then, who was begging me to go faster last night?” ., 60%u 12:20 Sun, 24 Sept ce. You Can’t Marry Him Feeling suffocated, she stared at him in disbelief. “Why don’t you ask your grandma what she did last night?” I swear that pudding was spiked!

With eyes filled with ridicule, Sean retorted, “So what? Did you learn all those tricks you tried the past three years from Grandma?” 2/8 Hearing that, Abigail felt rage surging inside her, traveling from the bottom of her feet to her head. Though wearing a thick layer of clothes, she felt naked before him. She could not describe her feelings; it felt like removing her pride and letting the man stomp on it relentlessly.

For the past three years, she did not merely please him because she wanted a child. It was because she liked him and was willing to do anything to make him happy. However, she did not expect him to use that against her. It seemed like she was merely a ‘toy‘ to him.

Her voice trembled slightly. “Sean, if you’re free now, why don’t we get our divorce done? I don’t want anything from you.” Truly, she wanted nothing to do with that man.

You Can’t Marry Him Sean’s eyes darkened. “Such hurry? Let me tell you that the Stewarts would never acknowledge someone like you into their family.” Three generations of the Stewart Family were involved in politics, and Kevin was their only successor. Therefore, his wife had to be someone with a matching background or one who could benefit them.

3/8 Sean did not intend to belittle her, but he knew that her life would not be any easier if she married Kevin.

Meanwhile, Abigail awoke from her daze. When she realized what he was on about, she was so angry that she trembled and shoved him away. An inexplicable sense of grievance surged inside her as she felt tears in her eyes.

How cheap did he think she was for him to assume she would seduce his best friend before their divorce? More importantly, he even came to remind her that the Stewarts would not accept a divorced woman like her. F*ck him.

He clearly looks down on me and hopes I won’t do well.

You Can’t Marry Him 4/8 With a cold expression, she gritted her teeth and rebuked, “Thank you for your consideration, but even if I want to become Kevin’s kept woman, it has nothing to do with you!” If it were not because she had just recovered from her fever and was feeling lethargic, she wanted to head over and kick that b*stard away. She could not figure out why she was so blind to have fallen for that man. It was he who cheated on her, yet he had the guts to frame her.

The man’s black eyes turned cold, which perfectly concealed his emotion. He stared at Abigail briefly before saying, “You don’t know what’s good for you.” How can you still think of becoming Kevin’s mistress? That’s stooping too low!

At that moment, his assistant, Cameron Hopkins, descended the car. “Mr.

Graham, Mr. Cromwell got into an accident. The client couldn’t find him and went to the company to cause a scene.” Sean’s eyebrows furrowed as he threw the things in his hand to the ground before getting inside the car. The loud noise from the door slamming revealed his bad mood.

You Can’t Marry Him 5/3 In the meantime, Abigail stood in place for a few minutes and decided to pick up the things on the ground before getting into the cab.

Half an hour later, she returned to the studio with packages of all sizes. After heading straight for the second floor, she tossed the things she had grabbed aside, but the pile fell and scattered its contents on the ground, revealing a bunch of supplements.

The things Lina previously sent her were all supplements for childbirth, and it was the same this time.

Initially, Abigail wanted to throw them in the trash can. How could she produce a grandchild for Lina if her grandson refused to want one? It was not like she could impregnate herself. After thinking about it, she took this as a token of kindness since she and Sean were about to get a divorce. Moreover, things that came from a wealthy family like the Grahams would take her several years or even her whole life to repay.

She took a deep breath and placed the things to the side as she planned to return them once she had the chance. When she reached to grab what her Sarhad University.

That doesn’t look like a supplement.

6/8 Frowning, Abigail opened the wrapping and saw a whole set of emerald jewelry. It was the jewelry set she spotted last month and took a picture of when trying it on before sending it to Sean, trying to initiate a conversation or maybe… get him to praise her. However, she did not expect he would buy it for her.

Although he would only return to visit her once every month during these three years, he had never arrived empty–handed. The most he gifted her were jewelry and all sorts of necklaces. As such, she had no choice but to customize an entire room for the jewelry she received. At times, she would walk around that room in the middle of the night, imagining him by her side.

In the past, she believed this was Sean’s unique way of expressing his sentiment and that he had feelings for her. Or, it could be because he thought she was obsessed with such materialistic things that he could fool her by simply buying any piece of jewelry. Suddenly, his efforts seemed You Can’t Marry Him cheap to her.

Remembering what Sean had said to her today, Abigail withdrew her excessive emotions and returned the necklace to its box.

“Abigail! Abigail!” Before she could pack everything up, she heard Luna’s angry voice coming from outside her design room. She quickly opened the door, afraid the other would kick the door down. “Why are you being so rough? Do I have to change this door into one made of gold?” She opened the door wider so that Luna could enter.

7/8 “I asked you to stay in the hospital, but you won’t listen!” Luna raised her hand, wanting to hit Abigail but withdrew it before she could touch her. Then, her keen eyes landed on the gift boxes on the side. “What the heck? Is Old Mrs.

Graham still trying to get you pregnant?” “I’m used to it.” Abigail sniffled and grabbed a tissue, perhaps still suffering the aftermath of a cold.

You Cant Marry Him “I don’t think that’s necessarily true. If she sincerely wants the best for you, everything she gives you shouldn’t be all related to childbirth. I think you’ve boon overly kind and are unaware that someone is trying to guilt trip you,” Luna complained frankly, However, Abigail smiled. “I owe them.

I Want a Divorce Chapter 20-Alright. Let’s put these useless things behind us. There are still a few days before the banquet, so hurry up and get to work. We’ll worry about the rest later. What’s important is that we earn money.” Abigail wrapped her coat around her and sat before the table.In the meantime, Luna sighed when she saw Abigail working so hard. “You’re right. It’s been busy lately, and the dresses have yet to be dispatched for our clients. Even so, there are still several of them waiting to be modified. We do have no time to waste.” Just like what Luna expected, L.Moon was bustling the whole time before the banquet. Sean never came to look for Abigail, who was glad about it since she had no time to attend to him.They finally felt relieved when they were well–dressed and stood before the courtyard where East Joy Talent held the banquet.It was extremely hard to earn that 2.8 million, and she somewhat regretted 20 Private Banquet her stubborn decision to take nothing away after divorcing Sean. She should have asked that b*stard to compensate her.“What are you thinking about? The flashing lights are blinding me.” Luna tugged on Abigail’s arm, excitedly pulling her forward and handing her two invitations. “Kevin has sent us new invitations with both our names. We’re now guests and don’t have to worry about anyone.” Abigail added, “Keep these. We’re now people who have attended private events.” Luna joked, “Credits to him for being a good person. He’s way more reliable than Sean, who always chooses others over us.” East Joy Talent stood up to its name for being the best entertainment company. Although this was a private event, the courtyard was decorated similarly to huge events like the Emmy Awards. All the tycoons from various industries were gathered here.Just as Abigail took a step forward, she heard a ruckus coming from behind Sarhad University. Private Banquet 3/6 her. When she turned around, she saw Joan in a black high–split dress exiting the car with Sean in a black suit.Tonight, Joan had switched her usual sweet look for a more stunning one, with one side of her hair tucked behind her ear. Also, she wore an eye–catching red ruby necklace around her neck.Looking at the reporters madly squeezing toward the entrance, Abigail could not help but feel ridiculed. She and Sean had been married for three years, but he had never brought her to any occasion like this. Previously, she thought it might be because he disliked public events. Now that she thought of it, it was simply because he disliked her.Luna could not hold back her criticism. “That b*stard couple. How dare they show up here!” “Let’s go.” Abigail swept her gaze across them and looked away. Then, she held the hem of her dress and entered the venue with her head high. As she moved quickly, she did not notice the deep gaze of the man behind her. Private Banquet 4/6 Joan sensed something strange going on with Sean, so she followed his gaze and noticed two slender figures in front of them. The one in a feathered halter dress was especially stunning as her waist looked so slim that it might break if held too tightly. In addition, there was a lilac butterfly tattooed on the exposed skin of her back, and it seemed to be fluttering with every step the woman made.Even a woman like her was attracted to her, let alone Sean. A trace of possessiveness flashed in her eyes as she linked arms with him. “Sean, what are you looking at?” “It’s nothing.” He buttoned his coat and composed himself before urging gently, “Let’s head inside.” Seeing that he did not mention anything, Joan sensibly stopped asking and held his arm as they entered the venue.Although it was April, the night was still rather chilly. Luna came here with a task to promote their brand, and Abigail was still feeling unwell after recovering from her fever, so she found a quiet corner to have some time Sarhad University Enroll for Fall Private Banquet alone while Luna went around, socializing with the other guests.Right after Abigail seated herself, she heard a familiar voice not far away.“What’s wrong with you?” Turning her head toward the voice, she saw Joan standing before a young woman in a decorative velvet dress, holding her wet and dripping hem with obvious wine stain.“I’m sorry, Miss Palmer. It wasn’t intentional.” The young woman hurriedly put down the wine glass and grabbed some tissues to wipe down Joan’s dress.5/6 However, Joan stepped back and complained, “Don’t move. It’s already dirty.” The young woman’s hand was left awkwardly in midair. “I’m so sorry. I have a clean dress in my caravan. Would you like to change?” “Who wants to change into your clothes?” Joan was furious.The young woman was at a loss after being reprimanded, and the Private Banquet commotion they were causing had attracted quite a lot of attention.Therefore, the young woman straightened her back and asked carefully, “Then, what would you like me to do?” “Compensate for it.” Joan was growing impatient. “Sean had L.Moon custom–made this dress for me. You know Alana has stopped receiving custom–made orders because her husband passed away, right? It was difficult for Sean to get her to make me this dress.” The young woman’s eyes widened. “H–How much is this dress?” “120 thousand.”
