Chapter 423 Match Eric and Abigail Up
They left the hospital. Martha would occasionally call out to Kelly, but she ignored her. When they reached home, Kelly stormed upstairs, got into her room, and locked the door. Resigned, Martha called Josh. The moment the call went through, she angrily asked, “Why do you never come home? Where are you?”
He would come home after work every day before this, but it had been a few nights since he last came home.
“I’m outside. What do you want?” Josh asked gently.
“Your sister’s angry. Come back and talk to her,” Martha said matter-of-factly.
Josh was silent for a while before he questioned, “She’s mad because Scan stood up for Abigail again, right? You guys should give up. Abigail and Scan share a complex relationship. The Grahams and Quinns are good friends too. It’s not something our family can deal with.”
Martha knew that. That was why she rejected the idea the moment Kelly said they should match Eric and Abigail up, but the moment she said that, Kelly got mad and ignored her. Martha held. her phone and quietly asked, “Say, what are the chances of Eric and Abigail getting together?”
Josh mused over it seriously. “It’s not impossible if he can move her. Abigail doesn’t like Sean. She has enmity against his family because his grandmother hurt hers. Sean’s been the only one giving in this relationship. Abigail ignores him.”
“So, if Eric insists on dating Abigail, his parents can’t do anything about it, can they?” Martha got a little hurried.
That made Josh suspicious
“You think Kelly can date Sean if Eric dates Abigail? You’re overthinking things. You have no idea what kind of man Sean is. You should tell Kelly to give up.”
“If she has no idea who he is, then she can slowly get to know him. He can’t have a heart of stone, can he? Your sister won’t date anyone but him. Just tell me if Eric and Abigail can be a thing if Eric insists?” Martha demanded unhappily.
Calmly, Josh said, “I have no idea. His parents are not simple-minded people. If Abigail’s just a poor orphan who’s still single, then it’s still possible. But the Davidsons know Abigail’s divorced. If she were a part of our family, then she would have a special status, but she’s just a commoner who’s divorced. You think the Davidsons would agree to this?”
If Eric really wants to marry Abigail, I can do the talking.” Martha muttered.
Josh got angry at that point. “Don’t do that just because Kelly likes Sean. He’s not worth the effort. There are a lot of men suitable for her. Why must you go for the one who’ll give you the most ha*sie?”

“Because your sister likes him. We can’t do anything about the dress, but you can’t say we can’t do anything to help her in the world of romance!” Martha snapped. “I won’t take this. Kelly is a brilliant woman. There’s no reason for Sean to refuse. If he refuses, I’ll talk to his grandmother. He won’t defy his own grandmother, no?”
Before Josh could say anything, Martha ended the call. That gave him a headache. He put his phone in his pocket and saw Luna coming out from the partner’s office.
Luna’s face fell the moment she saw him. “I don’t care how long you follow me, but I’m still telling you that I like younger men. We’ll never be a thing. She couldn’t believe Abigail’s prediction. came true. A few days ago, Josh came and confessed to her, much to her shock.
When Luna was down in the dumps in romance, she couldn’t even see any hot men in her area. Now her luck had turned, and two hot guys came after her at once. They hadn’t even known each other for long. Even she thought it was remarkable.
Josh said solemnly, “I’m me, and Kelly is Kelly. If we date, I won’t just take her side.”
“Sorry, but I want someone who can take my side all the time. You can’t do that, and I don’t like your personality.” Luna picked up her files and tried to leave.
Josh went ahead and held her wrist. He frowned as he demanded, “What’s so good about Howard? How long have you known him anyway? Not too long, I bet.”
Speechless, Luna flung his hand away. “I haven’t known you for long either.”
“We’ve known each other since I found Abigail. You call that not long?” Josh pursed his l*ps. He was nervous. They knew each other for a while, but they had never gone deeper than acquaintance level.
Luna looked at him for a while and clicked her tongue. “How many times do I have to tell you? You’re three years older than me. I don’t like that. I like younger men. They’re adorable and obedient.”
“How do you know I’m not adorable and obedient?” Josh tensed his face up.
You’re not adorable at all right now. She thought about how Howard looked at her. His eyes would glimmer, and he would smile like a Labrador. She loved that. “The fact is, we can never be a thing because Kelly is your sister,” Luna muttered. With that, she left.
Josh, however, followed her. “Abigail wouldn’t want you to lose out on a good man just because of Kelly.”
