Chapter 346 His Explanation, Her Confusion
As Abigail arrived at the cafe Sean had suggested, she pondered many things on her way. Ultimately, she concluded that Kelly wasn’t interested in him but was using him as a pretext to further the interests of the Pearson Family. As she took her seat at the designated location, her expression turned serious. “What could be so important that it had to be discussed at a cafe?”
The man signaled the waiter to bring her a cup of warm milk before asking, “What’s with your face? Did you have a rough night yesterday?”
She was still contemplating what he intended to say. So, when she heard his question, she simply hummed in acknowledgment before grasping his inquiry. “Hurry up and say what you want. I
don’t have all day.”
“Even if you’re busy, you still need to find some time and relax,” Sean remarked. Honestly, it was because he wasn’t prepared to explain it to Abigail.
Her expression turned cold, and she demanded, “What are you trying to say?”
He sipped his coffee and began, “Cameron mentioned that you didn’t seem well today, and I thought it might be because of our phone call last night. You seemed to be overthinking things when you knew Kelly was with me.”
“I didn’t overthink about this,” she retorted immediately, aware that it was her gossipy a*sistant who had informed Cameron about her condition.
At that moment, Sean raised his gaze and looked serious. “I understand that you’re not concerned. about the relationship. Instead, you are worried that I might side with the Pearson Family. However, I a*sure you that I will not have any connection with them, and I certainly don’t like Kelly.”
His unexpected statement left Abigail momentarily stunned. She lowered her head and took a few sips of her milk. In that brief moment, she discovered that it tasted unexpectedly delightful. “This milk is quite tasty. I didn’t expect it to be this good.”
“Abigail,” he called out, his tone tinged with a hint of helplessness.
After hearing her name, Abigail looked at him and replied calmly, “I know.”
“That’s good. Initially, Kelly came to my house because Grandma had a minor accident. She voluntarily went to the hospital to take care of her, You know how Grandma is-she treats Kelly dearly, even based on a little white lie,” Sean said softly.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll head back to work after finishing this gla*s of milk.” She was eager to change the topic, not expecting that he had invited her out primarily for this explanation. She felt uneasy, pondering what her a*sistant and Cameron might have gossiped about. Consequently, she decided to instruct her a*sistant to knock before entering her office in the future.

Sean nodded and glanced at his watch, realizing that two hours had pa*sed quietly from the moment he arrived at the cafe to Abigail’s arrival, with another thirty minutes until he departed for the airport.
Lost in his thoughts, he was jolted when she spoke. If you’re busy, you can leave first. It’s fine.”
In response to her considerate words, he lowered his hand and smiled. “I didn’t expect you to remember my habits.” He acknowledged the fact that every time he checked his watch, it signale an impending matter requiring his attention. Therefore, she consistently urged him to tend to hi affairs whenever she observed him looking at his watch.
On the other hand, she set aside her milk upon hearing his words, and a smile graced her l*ps as she replied, “We did share three years of our lives, you know. It hasn’t even been a year since we parted ways.”
Sean’s emotions swirled within him as Abigail calmly reminisced about their shared past. “Yeah…” he murmured with a hint of bittersweetness.
After she left the cafe, Xavien approached Sean and gently reminded him, “It’s time to head to the airport.”
“Okay,” Sean said, suppressing his lingering sadness, and walked toward his car.
Observing Sean’s despondent expression, Xavien couldn’t help but sigh, knowing that Sean hadn’t yet let go of his feelings for Abigail.
After Abigail returned to her studio, feeling tired and in need of rest, her a*sistant informed her that Josh had arrived. Annoyed, she remarked, “I don’t want to see him.” She wasn’t one to entertain visitors when she was exhausted.
The a*sistant, bearing a troubled expression, explained, “He refuses to leave and insists on seeing you.”
“Where’s Cameron?” Abigail inquired as she covered her legs with a small blanket.
The a*sistant continued, “Even if Josh barges in forcefully, Mr. Hopkins can’t do anything about it.”
Reluctantly, Abigail set aside the blanket and stood up, accompanying her a*sistant to the entrance of her studio. She frowned at Josh and asked, “What do you want?”
“Has Kelly been here for the past few days?” Josh asked.
She replied coldly, “I’m not on good terms with her, Mr. Pearson. Why would she come to my place? Don’t you have her number?”
“She’s not answering my calls.” he replied, his anxiety driving him to seek out Abigail.

She stood on the stairway, scrutinizing him for a moment before saying, “Maybe you should ask Kelly about her purpose in Pendorf. I don’t like the idea of me being used as an excuse.”
After hearing Abigail’s words, Josh grew increasingly certain that Kelly hadn’t been to see Abigail in recent days. He also couldn’t help but notice the seriousness in Abigail’s expression and the impatience in her tone, making him wonder if she was dealing with her issues.
Just as Josh was about to leave, Cameron called out to him, “May I have a word with
Pearson?”
you, Mr.
