Chapter 137 Not Caring for Anyone Now
Abigail stood up with her plate, her expression cold. “That’s because, over the past three years, I’ve told you many things, but you never once cared. I don’t want to talk about it anymore. I think it’s meaningless for you to know now.”
She walked into the kitchen and started washing up.
Just as she was done, Sean hugged her from behind and k*ssed her ear. “Tell me, Abigail. For the past three years….”
“If you want to do it, do it quickly. I need to sleep and wake up early tomorrow,” she interrupted his
words.
Hearing that, he reached out and pinched her waist. “Do you have to be like this?”
She winced in pain, her beautiful brows furrowing. “Are you doing it or not? If not, get out. I wasn’t
home for a week, and you didn’t come home either. Did you get tired of Joan and come back for
me?”
“I was at the Graham Estate the entire week. Why are you simply making a*sumptions? You said that you’re not jealous of Joan, but you keep mentioning her,” he said as he pinched her chin and held her face, forcing her to k*ss him.
With that, the two of them were soon panting in the kitchen. Sean held her tightly, his voice husky. “I have my reasons for not wanting children.”.
“I don’t want to hear them. I won’t have your children. I’ll take contraceptives,” she said in a cold,
hard tone while panting.
When he heard that, his heart sank, and he let go of her. After he adjusted his clothes, he turned to
leave.
Meanwhile, Abigail leaned against the sink and lowered her gaze, looking at the undone dishes. She only returned to her senses when she heard a loud bang from the outside.
The next day, she was busy at the fabric market when her phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was Cornelie calling, she answered the call and walked to a relatively quiet place. She asked, “Is there something you need, Grandma? I’m on a business trip this week. I’m not in
Pendorf.”
Abigail maintained a good attitude while talking to her, but she showed no respect at all, causing
her tone to quickly turn cold. “Yes, why can’t you wait for a week? If it’s about taking supplements to have a child, then I’ll just pretend I didn’t take this call.”
“What did you say? How dare you speak to me like that? I don’t care where you are, but you must return to the Graham Estate today.” Cornelie’s anger was immediately ignited. She’s usually obedient, so why is she being so feisty today?!
“If you want to have a great-grandchild, you need to persuade Sean. I can’t give birth without him. By the way, I’m very busy here. If there’s nothing important, please don’t call me.” With that, Abigail hung up the phone.
A few minutes later, Analise’s call came through. “Abigail, how dare you speak disrespectfully to Sean’s grandmother?” she sc ded.
“Grandma, do you know how much I’ve suffered at her hands? If you side with her without knowing what happened, then I truly have no one to care about me.” Abigail stood in the sun, her eyes
slightly moist as she poured out her heart.
“C-Can’t you at least respect her as an elderly person? Sean’s grandmother has a weak heart. What if you make her sick by provoking her?” Analise’s voice softened.
“I know what to do, Grandma. Don’t worry. I’m busy with work. I’ll call you when I’m free at night,”
Abigail said gently.
“Did you and Sean fight?” Analise was afraid that Abigail would hang up, so she quickly asked.
Abigail licked her l*ps and took a while before she said, “No, we’re fine.”
“Don’t lie to me, Abigail.” Analise’s voice was filled with concern.
“I’m not lying to you. I have urgent matters to handle. If I don’t handle them properly, the studio could face more than a million in damages,” Abigail explained with a smile.
“Why can’t you stay at…”
“Grandma, I just want to be financially independent so that I can handle any unexpected situations.
There are many uncertainties in this world that we can’t control, you know,” Abigail said gently.
If Sean wants to divorce me and marry Joan one day, given Cornelie’s personality, she will make me leave with nothing. If I don’t work hard to save money and buy a house, what if I get kicked out of the Graham Family? I’m not going to rent a house for the rest of my life with Grandma. Most importantly, since Grandma has diabetes, accidents can happen at any time.
“Abigail… Is Sean seeing someone else?”. Analise suddenly asked. Given her age and experience, she
could easily guess the possible reasons for Abigail venturing out to work on her own.
“No, Grandma, please don’t make any a*sumptions,” Abigail said hurriedly. “As the saying goes, you shouldn’t rely on others too much. I can’t keep asking him for money forever, don’t
you think?”
“Then call Colby and explain the situation to him. I’ll leave you to your work.” Being a daughter-in- law is difficult, especially with a strong-willed elder like Cornelie. Analise thought that Abigail might have been embarra*sed when asking Sean for money, which was why she chose to earn.
money on her own.
As
per Analise’s request, Abigail called Colby and explained the situation to him. Fortunately, he was reasonable and told her to focus on her work before hanging up the phone.
While she was busy with work, Cornelie called Sean and poured out her grievances. “Can you
believe it? She’s completely turned against me. I told her to come back and eat well to nourish her
b*dy, but what’s with her attitude? She told me off. You have to divorce her soon. I can’t stand her
any longer!”
Listening to her words, Sean was overwhelmed.
