Chapter 64
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 64 A Scene Too Dramatic âOkay,â replied Abigail.
One of the liveâstream cameras followed Sean and Abigail as they walked away. After the pair entered the separate guest room, the camera stopped at the door instead of following them inside.
These five minutes were considered private time for the two of them.
Sean closed the door and gently locked it before turning his head to look at Abigail.
Abigailâs cheeks were flushed; thanks to the red wineâs strong aftereffects, she was now heavily drunk. As Sean looked at her, she suddenly stepped forward and tugged at his hand, saying, âHow could you be so cruel?â
Fearing that they might be overheard by those outside the room, Sean dragged her to the couch by the window in the room and sat her down. âWhat do you mean by that?â His voice lacked warmth as always, but it softened a lot without him realizing it.
Emboldened by drink, Abigail stared at the face of the man before her with bright, watery eyes. She said aggrievedly, âCanât you tell that I really need your help? I know this is a show, and youâre being fair, but I really lost the draft because I was startled by Joanâs sudden arrival.â She argued with good reason, âHad it not been for your connection with her, that kind of thing wouldnât have happened, and I wouldnât have lost the draft. How could I make a mistake if the draft wasnât lost?â
Sean leaned back on the couch, watching her red lips move as she rattled on and on. Then, his slowly fell on her clothes. âDid you change your clothes just because I asked you to?â
âThatâs because I wanted to please you to make you help me,â replied Abigail, sounding rather frustrated. âYouâre so hardâhearted. Itâs like no matter what I do, youâll never be satisfied, and wonât be happy. Itâs so easy to make you angry.â
Arenât you the one who is angry... and asking for a divorce? thought Sean inwardly. âIs there anything else you want to say?â he asked.
gaze you Abigail complained in a mumble, âWhy did you drink from my bottle all of a sudden? Joan is the person you care about. Donât you fear that sheâll get jealous and that the netizens will call you a sc*mbag? You never clarified the rumors between you and her... You drank from my bottle regardless of how it might affect me. Iâll certainly get criticized for this.â
Instead of explaining himself, Sean merely listened to her muttering to herself.
Sean had no choice but to give up. He stood up and straightened his clothes, saying to Abigail, âGet up. Youâre drunk, so you should go back and rest.â It had previously been agreed that if someone got drunk, they could quit the game early. After all, they were being streamed live. If someone got drunk and threw tantrums or did something outrageous, it might affect the showâs reputation.
Abigail lay down on the couch right away. She felt very sleepy.
âTsk.â Sean clicked his tongue before grabbing her wrist to pull her up.
Abigail slumped into his arms as though she were boneless. âIâm so sleepy...â
Sean held her firmly, wrapping his arms around her while she was in a drunken state.
He pushed the door open while holding the drunken Abigail, who had passed out and was leaning on his shoulder.
The crew member backed away with the camera.
Sean said in an impassive voice, âSheâs drunk. Get her boss here to take her to rest.â
The crew member following the cameraman rushed to inform Luna of what was happening.
Before Luna hurried over, viewers of the livestream were in an uproar.
A viewer commented, âIf this isnât love, then what is?! Sheâs just an assistant, you know? Look at Seanâs handâitâs placed on her waist the whole time to prevent her from falling.â
Another viewer chimed in, âSean is shifting his body weight backward. Obviously, heâs letting her press herself on top of him! Oh, my God! Itâs so sweet for her to lean on his shoulder! Iâm dying!
Are they really not a couple?!â
Another viewer commented, âEven couples donât seem this compatible, right? Seanâs expression is obviously much softer than when he went in, and his gaze has been focused on her the whole time. Itâs clear that heâs head over heels in love with her! This has to be a dating reality show! Why isnât it labeled as such? I want to see them getting all loveyâdovey!â
When Luna arrived to see Abigail slumped in Seanâs arms, she was utterly shocked. This scene... was incredibly dramatic in the context of the entire sho
