Chapter 136
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 136 Is Sean Pursuing You?
At this moment, Kevin suddenly said, âSean, why donât we let Miss Quinn ride with Anthony in one car? After all, theyâre the ones treating us. They can discuss where to go while riding together.â
Sean glanced at him and saw Kevin desperately gesturing with his eyes.
The moment he released Abigailâs hand, she looked at his calm eyes for a moment before directly following Anthony outside.
Kevin didnât expect her to leave so decisively, so he couldnât help but look at Sean.
Seanâs expression was cold, and it was difficult to discern his current emotional state. This left Kevin somewhat concerned.
âSean...â he called out softly.
âWeâll talk in the car. Sean said, leaving with just that.
When Abigail arrived at Anthonyâs car, she was a bit surprised to see the double âRâ emblem on his car. She couldnât help but think, What a high-profile car Anthony noticed her coming and seemed somewhat surprised. âWasnât Mr. Graham planning to ride with you? Why are you here now?â
âWho knows what heâs thinking?â she said as she walked over and opened the car door.
A smile tugged at his lips. âIt seems like Mr. Graham is pursuing you.â
As she settled into the car, she almost choked on her saliva when she heard his words. She coughed and said, âYouâre overthinking it. He spent over a million on Joan. Can you believe that?â
He raised an eyebrow âWell, heâs really generous with Joan. In that case, is he trying to have both?â
âI donât know about that she replied, not wanting to discuss Sean any further Meanwhile, Kevinâs car had been quietly following Anthonyâs car, occasionally driving side by side 1. In the car, Sean listened to Kevinâs analysis of Anthony âI think Anthony is very scheming. You shouldnât take him lightly,â Kevin said, finding it difficult to put his feelings about Anthony into words but sensing a strong sense of purpose from him.
Moreover, Anthony had been exceptionally kind in front of Abigail.
âOkay,â Sean replied indifferently. His mind was not focused on Kevinâs words. Instead, he seemed lost in thought.
In the restaurant that Abigail had chosen, the four of them sat down together. Anthony seemed at ease during the meal, and Kevin occasionally engaged in small talk.
After the meal, Kevin and Sean got into their car together. Kevin couldnât help but ask, âWhy didnât you say anything? Anthonyâs overly attentive behavior was getting on my nerves.â
âHeâs like a child playing childish tricks. Just like her,â Sean said icily and went straight into his car. Do whatever you want, Abigail. Today, he came impulsively, and as he observed how she treated him, he felt like a fool.
When Abigail got into Antho car, she was surprised to see that Kevin had driven away without. them. However, it wasnât difficult to guess that Sean was probably infuriated again. He never had. much patience, and being rejected by her today would likely make him disdain further confrontation.
In the days that followed, Abigail was busy running around to gather materials, and Sean did not.
appear again.
After a busy week, she noticed a layer of dust on the table when she returned home. After Analise left, Julie also returned to her place. Although she had been in touch with Analise over the days, coming back to an empty home made her feel a sense of loneliness.
past few She tossed her bag onto the couch and sat down, not minding the dust that had settled on it. After taking a short break, she got up to clean the house.
She was so engrossed in cleaning that it soon became dark outside. Afterward, she cooked a plate of pasta and sat on the couch to watch a TV series.
Suddenly, the door clicked open.
When she saw Sean standing there, she paused for a moment and averted her gaze. âIf you havenât eaten, thereâs a plate of pasta in the kitchen. Help yourself. If you donât want it, you can make something else.â
Yet, Sean remained by the door, not closing it. He asked coldly, âHave you thrown enough tantrums? Are you ready to tell me why youâre angry?â
She thought that he hadnât been looking for her during this time because he had come to terms. with their relationship being as it was; she didnât expect him to still be conflicted.
After eating a mouthful of pasta, she continued to watch her TV series without paying much.
attention to him.
âGrandma said that we shouldnât give each other the silent treatment,â he said again.
As she raised her eyes, she looked at him with a cold and distant gaze, treating him as if he were a stranger. âI never threw a tantum. It was just your assumption. I made it very clear the day I left the show.â
âWhat do you take me for? When you wanted to marry me, you didnât care about my wishes. Now that you donât want me, you immediately throw yourself into another manâs arms. Is that so?â He pushed the door shut and let out the frustration that had been building up over the past few days.
With a frown, she retorted, âYou were the one who cheated first. So what if I throw myself into another manâs arms? Who do you think you are to stand on moral high ground and criticize me? I donât need to establish my virtue for your sake.â
âI didnât cheat.â His voice was stern.
âHaha, youâre quite interesting. Do you know why that wedding dress you bought for Joan was 1.3 million?â she asked mockingly.
At her question, his eyes showed confusion. âWasnât that the price you quoted?â
âForget it.â Suddenly, she felt that arguing with him was too exhausting. She was already tired from work, and she had to go fabric shopping the next day. She didnât have time to waste discussing past matters with him.
âHow am I supposed to know if you donât say anything?â He grew increasingly anxious.
