I Want a Divorce by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 201 What a Coincidence

As soon as Abigail walked toward Analise, she crouched down and playfully poked the orange kitten.

The orange kitten was startled by her appearance and quickly hid away.

Abigail couldn’t help but smile at this.

Analise averted her eyes with a touch of discomfort as she watched Abigail having fun with the kitten.

“How long are you planning to stay this time?”

“I’ll probably leave tomorrow. I’ll take you to Pendorf once I wrap up my work. You can’t refuse this

time, Grandma.” Abigail sat on a chair, looking serious.

Alas, Analise immediately expressed her rejection, saying, “I’ve already said it repeatedly. Don’t waste

money on buying a house. Why won’t you listen to me?” She was well aware of how pricey properties

were in Pendorf. So, she was only saying all this because she didn’t want to put too much pressure on

Abigail.

“It’s not a waste of money. My savings are more than enough for something like this. I won’t even need

to take a mortgage,” Abigail replied with quiet confidence.

“What if I don’t want to go to the city?” Analise asked softly.

Although Abigail understood that Analise had grown accustomed to the countryside, she couldn’t

possibly allow her grandmother to stay here alone without her guilty conscience bugging her.

“Grandma, please listen to me…”

“You rarely visit me. Why don’t I cook some of your favorite dishes?” Analise changed the topic and

refused to continue discussing it.

Abigail sighed wearily as she thought, It seems it would take a lot to convince Grandma to come with

me.

She helped Analise water the plants in the yard after lunch. Suddenly, she received a call from

Eric.

Although she wasn’t exactly pleased with him at the moment, she still answered the call.

“Miss Quinn, I’m really sorry about what happened, especially after learning that Josh paid a visit to

your home completely unannounced,” Eric started apologizing earnestly.

“Eric, I can empathize with the Pearsons. I understand that it’s hard for them to live with the knowledge

that one of them is missing. However, I believe I’ve already made things abundantly clear during our

call last time. So, why did Josh visit my grandmother?” She hoped that with her clear stance this time,

Eric and Josh wouldn’t keep fixating on her.

“I’m sorry, Miss Quinn.” He couldn’t think of any other way to appease her other than apologizing to her

again.

When she recalled that this person talking to her was a popular celebrity, she figured it wouldn’t do to

be so harsh. So, she softened her tone and replied. “It’s okay. I’m not mad at you guys anymore. Just

please don’t visit my grandmother to satisfy your curiosity. She’s getting on in age and doesn’t handle

surprises very well.”

Eric answered guiltily, “I’m really sorry.”

“It’s fine. I’m a bit busy now, so I’ll be hanging up,” she said calmly.

Initially, he wanted to tell her more about the Pearsons’ situation. Unfortunately, there was no denying

her stance on this matter. Therefore, he had no choice but to reluctantly end the call.

Meanwhile, Abigail continued with her chores after hanging up the phone. It didn’t matter to her what

Eric and Josh had claimed; she would only believe in Analise’s words.

On the other hand, news of Abigail’s return quickly made it to Sean’s ears.

Thus, he promptly arrived at Analise’s house with a bag of supplements around the evening.

Abigail had rushed to open the door. So, she didn’t bother checking the door before she swung it open.

Hence, when she caught sight of him, she immediately frowned and demanded, “What are you doing

here?”

“Can’t I come?” he asked as he raised an eyebrow.

Just as she was about to say something, she heard Analise’s voice behind her, calling out, “Is Sean

here? Have you had dinner yet, Sean?”

Sean ignored Abigail and walked into the yard without another word. “Not yet. I was craving your

cooking, Grandma. So, I rushed over. I didn’t expect Abby to be back as well. What a coincidence.”

Abigail couldn’t help but think that he was a shameless and practiced liar. In the end, she could do

nothing but follow him into the house. When she heard that Analise was chatting happily with him, she

could only amuse herself by playing with the kitten.

Sean spent some time with Analise in the kitchen before eventually walking out,

When Abigail recalled that her relationship with Josh had soured, she spoke in a hushed tone, “Come

to my room for a moment; I need to discuss something with you.”

With that, she turned and headed toward her room.

Even though Sean felt a bit annoyed by her bossy behavior, he still followed her into her room. “Is your

idea of discussing something just talking to yourself and then going into the room?” he

asked in irritation the moment he was in the bedroom.

She cleared her throat sheepishly and said, “It’s urgent. That’s why I didn’t consider propriety when I

made that request.”

“Go on.” He took a seat on a nearby chair.

“I wanted to ask if you have any extra manpower. My friend can’t be with me every day due to some

personal issues,” she explained. Since she had decided not to have any contact with Josh, she didn’t

want Lynette to keep picking her up.

“Cameron can help,” he suggested. “If you feel uncomfortable with him following you all the time, I can

have him work on something else when you’re working so he doesn’t disturb you.”

Sean understood why Abigail was looking for an alternative. She’s probably worried that Cameron

might discover that she is hiding her identity.

“That would be fine.” After all, she didn’t have many other options.

“Is that all?” Considering her secretive behavior, he thought she had something more significant

to discuss.

“Yeah.” In fact, she felt a little embarrassed that she had to ask him for help when she had rejected his

offer prior to this.

“Let’s go and help Grandma with dinner then. She’s probably bored out of her mind cooking by herself,”

he suggested, standing up from his chair.

Abigail silently followed him out of the room.

It seemed that she would always be entangled with Sean no matter how hard she tried to avoid any

interaction with him. She had initially thought that with both the Pearsons and the Davidsons. involved,

she would quickly find out about the mastermind of her kidnapping.

“You will tell me if you find out any clues regarding my kidnapping case, right?” she suddenly popped

the question with worry lacing her tone.
