Chapter 403
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 403 What if He Has Fallen for Her Luna could tell from Joshâs behavior that he never considered Kelly might be interested in Sean and couldnât help but probe, âIs she the one your family chose to marry Eric? If she is, isnât she worried the Davidson Family would be displeased about her being so close to Sean?â
After Josh sipped his tea, he replied, âEric has feelings for Miss Quinn. Thereâs another reason for proposing an alliance through marriage, but he wonât marry Kelly. So, thereâs nothing to worry about.â
Luna propped her chin on her palm as she asked, âIf you put it that way, does that mean she can fall in love with whoever she wants? What if she falls for Sean? Will the Pearsons agree to a marriage alliance with the Grahams?â
Her words made Josh suddenly sit upright. âThatâs impossible. Donât you understand Seanâs personality?â
âConsider yourself sensible.â Luna smiled but still felt displeased. Everyone seemed to think Sean would not fall for Kelly. Even though she also believed that, she couldnât help but worry. What if things didnât go as planned?
âDoes Abigail still have feelings for Sean?â Josh asked tentatively.
âNonsense! Abigail would never go back to him. Sean can like any woman he wants, but not Kelly. Sheâs very distasteful!â Luna screamed.
Josh unconsciously frowned. âKelly isnât as bad as you think. If you get to know her better, youâll see sheâs just a bit clumsy in her speech but means no harm. She came to Pendorf, hoping to clear up the misunderstanding with Abigail. Sheâs a kind-hearted person.â
âGosh. Did I offend you by speaking bad about your sister?â Luna rolled her eyes.
âShe is my sister, so I wouldnât want anyone to misunderstand her.â Josh was keen on defending Kelly, Luna scoffed, âNot only are you blind, but youâre foolish as well. Iâm leaving.â
She didnât want to speak to Josh, who unconditionally trusted his younger sister. Moreover, she wouldnât have significantly cut back on her criticism of Kelly if he wasnât a decent person.
âI didnât drink, so Iâll send you back.â Josh got up after her.
Luna held her back and turned around, pointing at him. âDonât think weâre friends because you gave me a suggestion. The fact that you defended Kelly in front of me makes me strongly dislike you. Got it?â
Josh pursed his lips tightly and remained quiet.
1/3 Then, Luna turned around and left without looking back.
The fabric arrived at L.Moonâs warehouse the following afternoon, but Abigail didnât head to the warehouse but stayed in her office, in a complete daze.
The two of them had fought because of this shipment of fabrics, so Abigail didnât feel the slightest bit happy upon seeing the goods arriving at L.Moon. Instead, she felt exhausted.
Seanâs arbitrary interference had made her extremely pissed. Besides, there was also Kelly, who would appear at any moment to disgust her, just like Joan from before.
October soon rolled to her door, and Abigail sent the evening dresses she had designed to the celebrities who had previously emailed her.
Meanwhile, the fabrics and wooden logo tags produced by L.Moonâs processing factory had left the clients satisfied.
âThe first wave of this crisis seems to have passed, and our goods are gradually increasing. However, we canât let our guard down as our shipment date is approaching.â Abigail held a meeting with the shipping department bright and early in the morning.
âI think we can split into two groups and find a group of hired drivers who would help us send our goods to the port while our trucks remain empty. If they try the same tactic as last time, weâll definitely catch them red-handed!â The head of the shipping department suggested this while holding a thermos.
Abigail thought his idea seemed plausible but slightly flawed. âWe will split into two groups. One will move in the morning and the other at night. The morning fleet will create a diversion to ensure the night fleetâs safety,â Abigail remarked.
The head of the department nodded. âYouâre right, Ms. Quinn.â
âWe have to protect our goods!â Abigail stressed yet again.
Once everyone gave their response, Abigailâs phone started ringing.
When she saw that it was from Ronaldo, she immediately answered it and walked outside. âWhatâs up? Why did you call me this early in the morning Tve got some leads. I showed Kellyâs picture to all the orphanages where she stayed and finally found the one she was at Following that lead, I traced the family that adopted her, Ronaldoâs volle was particularly excited âDo you have more encouraging news?â Abigail also felt slightly nervous.
Of course Theard that the Pearsons daughter disappeared while on a trip to Quinn Village 2/3 However, the orphanage director said Kelly was abandoned at the orphanageâs doorstep as an infant. By the time the Pearsonsâ
daughter went missing, she was already several years old and old enough to understand things,â Ronaldo relayed.
Abigail narrowed her eyes. âAsk the orphanage if they have pictures to prove their statement.â
âOkay.â Ronaldo hung up after speaking.
Finally, there was some progress in her search.
Later, Ronaldo sent over the address for Kellyâs adoptive family. When Abigail saw the address, she fell into a deep thought.
Westcape Village, Section 5. That village just happened to be situated in the city of Sicuaro.
Coincidentally, she and Luna were heading to Sicuaro tomorrow for a fashion show so she could visit that village.
Once Abigail arrived at her office, she received a picture from Ronaldo. Inside were a bunch of children, and she truly couldnât make out which orphan was Kelly.
âThis is fine. Stop investigating. We donât want to startle the enemy. Iâll check out Westcape Village, Abigail replied to Ronaldoâs text.
