The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 209 Leaving Sean Behind

Sean wore a thoughtful expression as he considered the possibility.

After a moment, he spoke. “We can’t be sure for now. However, if Abby has any connection to the

Pearsons, it would explain why they are helping Eric. Go and investigate the relationship between the

Pearsons and the Davidsons in detail. The more detailed, the better.”

He believed that if they were looking for a family member, it shouldn’t be Eric who was at the forefront

of this particular matter.

So, he suspected that there was another reason behind Eric’s special treatment of Abigail.

The next day, Abigail had planned to explore Capitalis a bit before heading back to Ouisford. To her

surprise, she received a call from Analise early in the morning.

“Where are you right now?” Analise’s voice was heavy, and there was a hint of anger.

Abigail replied quickly. “I’m handling some matters in Capitalis…”

“In that case, can you come back today? I have something to discuss with you.” Analise’s tone

suddenly softened.

Abigail couldn’t help but wonder if her meeting with Josh had been discovered by Analise.

She agreed immediately as she did not want to worry Analise.

Abigail informed Luna and headed to the airport after ending the call.

Sean, who had overslept by half an hour, had intended to invite Abigail to breakfast. Unfortunately,

Luna informed him that Abigail had already left.

Abigail was enjoying some pastries in the airport lounge when she received a call from Sean.

“Why didn’t you wait for me when you left?!” The moment Sean’s call connected, he scolded her

angrily.

“I was in a hurry and forgot to wait for you. You could have come by yourself,” Abigail replied somewhat

guiltily.

She had forgotten about Sean while rushing to catch a cab. Regardless, she did decide to shoot him a

text after she had her meal once the car had started moving.

She didn’t expect him to call so quickly.

“Abigail, are you even human? It seems like I’m the only one worried about

”

She took a bite of her noodles. “You were sleeping so deeply in the hotel. Why would I worry about

you? Do I have to make this trip with you for it to be considered as me taking you seriously?”

Alas, Sean immediately hung up the call after hearing her response.

“What a temper… Abigail held her phone and felt somewhat helpless.

Sean, who had hung up the call, tossed his phone aside.

Cameron stood by his side and asked in a low voice, “Would you like to order breakfast?”

“Breakfast? What’s the point? If you want to cat, just have breakfast alone. Stop bothering me,” Sean

hissed with a scowl.

Cameron nodded and made the executive decision to leave the room.

He had grown accustomed to being the target of Sean’s anger for trivial reasons. It was quite sad, but

that was the reality of his life now.

Eventually, Sean decided to take the day off after sulking for half an hour.

As soon as Abigail returned to Pendorf, she headed straight to the Quinn Village.

At this moment, in the Quinn Residence, Analise was hosting several guests.

Her expression was solemn, and she had a lot on her mind.

She had always hoped that Abigail would heed her advice. Yet, this time, she wished that Abigail would

defy her wishes.

Alas, things didn’t go as she hoped.

The sound of a bell rang at the entrance of the courtyard.

Analise glanced at the person sitting next to her sipping tea. Then, she got up to answer the door.

When Abigail’s figure appeared at the gate of Analise’s house, Joan, who was hiding not far was

shocked.

Analise opened the door and whispered, “Why did you return so quickly? Aren’t you busy?”

away,

Abigail looked a bit dazed. She blinked her eyes and asked, “Didn’t you ask me to come back quickly?”

Her response was met with a sigh from Analise.

Abigail saw Cornelie sitting inside after entering the house.

She put down her luggage and looked at Cornelie with a gentle tone, “Grandma, why did you

come here?”

Cornelie looked at her, and her face displayed a disdainful expression. “I shouldn’t have come here to

disturb your grandmother. Unfortunately, it seems that we have issues to discuss.”

“What is it?” Abigail asked.

“You took the property deed for the house that Sean bought for you, and then house?” Cornelie went

straight to the point.

Analise, who was seated nearby, looked at Abigail with a worried expression.

She had expected that Abigail wouldn’t be able to afford a house in Pendorf.

“You did that?” Analise asked angrily.

“Grandma, that house was a gift from Sean…” Even as she said this, her tone belayed that she didn’t

feel that confident about it either.

Even though it really was a gift from him… What did that matter? Cornelie seemed determined to

blame her.

“Are you telling me that you still want Sean’s gift even though you’re clearly capable enough to earn

money to support yourself?” Cornelie sneered.

Abigail pursed her lips, and after a moment, she said to Cornelie, “I can give you the money for

the house.”

“I didn’t come here to ask you for the money. I came to ask you to divorce Sean. Abigail, the Grahams

have done everything we can for you. Since you can’t fulfill your duties as a granddaughter-in-law, don’t

blame me for being strict with you,” Cornelie said with a calm exterior, but her aura was overwhelming.

“Do you think divorce is a decision I can make on my own?” Abigail retorted.

When Sean tore the divorce agreement up back then at the Graham Estate, Cornelie had seen it

herself.

“You

“You can’t even make an effort to have a child, and now you don’t want a divorce either. Do you really

want to cling to our family like a leech?” Cornelie’s voice grew more intense.

“I have never once wanted to cling to your family, Abigail replied calmly.

Analise stood up and tried to mediate the argument. “Having a child isn’t something she can do alone-

Before she could finish her sentence, Cornelie interrupted with a hiss, “Do you think I’m playing around

with you?!”
