Chapter 651 The Longest Companionship
Upon hearing this, Ronaldo burst into laughter.
He couldn’t believe that someone as formidable as Sean would now be treated like a child under the supervision of a granny.
“What about Miss Quinn?” Ronaldo couldn’t help but ask.
“She’s accompanying Alice to visit friends,” Sean replied.
“Alice doesn’t have any relatives left. It’s good that you guys keep her company. I’m just worried that once you leave, she’ll be lonely all by herself,” Ronaldo said as he sat down on a small stool nearby.
“No, you don’t really understand her. Alice’s perspective on life is much more profound than us young people.” Sean continued to sun-dry the soybeans.
Ronaldo smirked, “You guys have only been living with her for a short time. But I’ve watched her since childhood. No matter how strong-minded a person is, they will occasionally feel lonely.”
“Then we’ll come to visit her often in the future,” Sean suggested.
Ronaldo looked at him. After a long pause, he said, “You’ve really changed a lot. I’m even jealous of you… How come you’re different every time we meet? It’s so easy for other women to fall for you!”
Sean looked at him. A hint of caution appeared in his eyes. “What… are you saying? You… don’t have a girlfriend, do you… Are you into men?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Men can also appreciate other men, and besides, you’re already handsome. After watchin
you outsmart the criminal forces in the Golden Triangle, I think you’re even more handsome. If it weren’t for the great things you’ve done, I wouldn’t have helped you. Alana is my idol, and I felt that being with you was simply wasting her!” Ronaldo said angrily.
Sean raised an eyebrow and asked, “How about now?”
“Now… It’s still okay. But let me tell you, even if you’re handsome, Alana’s status is higher than yours in my eyes,” Ronaldo said nonchalantly.
Sean nodded. “Luckily, you still idolize women. If you idolized me, I would be afraid you were into
men.”
“You are indeed handsome. But not every man can be swayed by you! Hey, it’s strange, why aren’t you jealous anymore?” Ronaldo looked puzzled. Previously, if Sean knew that there was a man who had feelings for Abigail, he would have been so jealous that he would have wanted to dig out the other person’s brain.
“You wouldn’t understand the kind of relationship I have with her now,” Sean said and continued with his work.
For the past few months, they had been together. Despite the initial hardships, Abigail never backed down and stood by his side all the way.

One night, when Abigail willingly nestled into his arms, he realized that his relationship with Abigail had taken a great leap forward, not physically, but emotionally.
He used to believe that getting closer to her, even just a little bit, would make him incredibly happy.
But that happiness would always fade, and he would worry about losing Abigail. However, he no longer had such thoughts.
Just as Ronaldo was about to tease, he heard voices speaking.
“Among the entire area, only her family raises chickens, and these free-range chickens are quite valuable. Normally, I can only get one from them during New Year’s. It’s thanks to you Sean got to enjoy this,” Alice said with great delight.
“I didn’t expect her to give me the chicken.” Abigail’s voice sounded somewhat shy.
Compared to her previously tense demeanor, Ronaldo could hear from her words that she was truly relaxed and happy now.
That’s good. It seems bringing them here is the right decision.
“Ronaldo, you’re here! You’re quite fortunate. Rebecca’s family raises chickens, and every New Year’s, she’s stingy and only gives me half. However, when Abigail went, she brought back a live one,” Alice said with a cheerful smile upon spotting Ronaldo.
“It seems Abigail has quite a charm!” Ronaldo looked at Abigail.
Abigail replied irritably, “Don’t tease me! I taught Rebecca the embroidery method, and she gave it to me as a thank you.”
“Abigail’s embroidery skills are impressive,” Alice said, then looked at Sean. “Go and sun the soybeans properly.”
“Alright-” Sean’s voice dragged on.
Alice was gentle with Abigail but strict with him.
In Alice’s opinion, those who didn’t take care of their bodies needed to be taught a lesson to help them. remember and learn to cherish themselves.
“Later, you and Abigail will go and get the chicken ready,” Alice instructed him again.
“Okay,” Sean replied.
He and Abigail followed Alice, leading busy and tedious lives here. Every day was filled with trivial matters. Sometimes, they felt tired, and occasional disagreements arose due to differing opinions. However, in the end, Sean and Abigail would compromise for each other.
In the past month, they hardly argue anymore.
Ronaldo walked over to Abigail, circling around her. “Alice really knows how to take care of people. Your aura is unique now.”

“Is that so?” Abigail smiled, much more cheerful than before and less serious.
“Yes, indeed. Oh my, Alice is amazing. How did she raise you two so well? Such a transformation!” Ronaldo praised repeatedly.
“Don’t flatter me here. What brings you here?” Alice waved her hand and walked toward the backyard.
Ronaldo followed. “I have a friend who just got married. The day after the wedding is the day of the parade. I want to take them out for a feast and also participate in the parade ceremony. It would be great for them.”
