Chapter 87 We Are A Couple
Sean noticed that she was curled up like an ostrich, and he continued, “We are still a married couple, even on the show.”
Abigail pursed her l*ps and didn’t want to respond. Being a couple was something that only the two of them knew, and no one else did. When Joan slandered her, he never stepped forward to clarify that they were a married couple. He only mentioned this fact when they were in bed.
He looked at her and asked, “No response?”
“It’s still early. So, if you leave now, it won’t be a big deal even if someone sees you,” she whispered as she closed her eyes.
He
gave her a cold look. “Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?”
Abigail struggled out of his embrace, pulled up the blanket, and sat up. She looked at him with a gentle expression. “That’s because I don’t want to cause Miss Smith any problem, and I don’t want anyone to question the show either.”
Sean snorted but didn’t say much because he could tell that Abigail was trying to please Luna wholeheartedly.
As he covered himself with the blanket, he didn’t bother paying attention to Abigail. When she saw how determined he was to stay, she was at a loss for words. So, she had no choice but to remain
silent and lie there with him.
As time pa*sed, she didn’t know when she had fallen asleep. By the time she woke up again, it was because her phone was ringing.
Abigail opened her eyes and found that Sean was no longer beside her. She presumed that he had returned to his room, so she reached for her phone and saw that it was Luna calling. She immediately answered, “What’s going on?”
Luna panted. “Are you in your room? I brought Victor back to my room, but he’s on a drip. Do you want to come over and wait for him to wake up?”
Abigail was about to respond when the bathroom door opened. Sean walked out naturally toward her with a casual tone. “If you feel any discomfort, feel free to call me anytime. I have some other matters to attend to, so I won’t bother you any longer.”
Her cheeks reddened, whereas Luna, who was on the phone, had a sharp intake of breath before
she chuckled.
When he saw Abigail’s blushing face, Sean calmly approached her and kneeled beside the bed, reaching out to pinch her chin. “Your face is so red. Could there still be traces of the drug in your system? It shouldn’t be; it’s been three hours.”
“N–No… You can leave now since you have work to do!” Abigail nervously pushed Sean’s hand away and buried herself under the covers.
When he saw her like this, he tugged at the corner of his l*ps, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Her heart raced as she felt like she was being suffocated.
Luna spoke up softly. “Is he gone?”
“He’s
gone… I’ll be right there.” Abigail had never been so embarra*sed in her life.
“I’ll wait for you,” Luna said without teasing Abigail.
After she hung up the phone, Abigail freshened up in the bathroom, changed into different clothes, and then went over to Luna’s room.
She never expected Kevin would also be there. He was on a phone call when Abigail entered, and he raised an eyebrow with a mischievous smile while intentionally raising his voice. “Mr. Graham, I won’t keep you on the line any longer. Miss Quinn is here, and we need to discuss official matters.”
Abigail felt that his behavior was slightly inappropriate.
After Kevin hung up, he looked serious. “Don’t worry. We’re currently investigating this matter.”
She glanced at the unconscious Victor on the couch, still maintaining his cold appearance. “How’s he?”
“We don’t know whether he’s okay yet, but there’s no need for you to be concerned about what he might do!” Luna answered with a cold look at Victor.
Kevin walked to the side, still with a smile. “If Victor did this alone, it’d have been obvious.”
Kevin walked to the side, still with a smile. “If Victor did this alone, it’d have been obvious.”
He had received preliminary results from his investigation indicating Victor’s innocence.
Just then, Victor, on the couch, made a sound, and all three pairs of eyes turned toward him. He
opened his eyes and was startled, especially when he saw Kevin’s teasing eyes, which caused his legs
to weaken.
In reality, the effects of the aphrodisiac had taken a toll on him, and he didn’t have much strength
left in his legs.
“Miss Smith, I had no idea. I just wanted to give Miss Quinn some medicine, and I had no idea I’d take it myself. I don’t even know when I took it!” Victor struggled to get up as he kept speaking.
Abigail also recalled what they had consumed earlier, and everything seemed perfectly normal,
without any suspicious elements.
“I discovered that the medicine you gave to Abigail was purchased from outside. I’m quite curious.
Why would our production team need you to ask someone to purchase medication from outside?”
Kevin’s eyes had a trace of coldness.
