Chapter 60 Increased Suspicion

His words were meant as a joke, but Abigail got triggered after hearing his mention of getting a child. She had always hated discussing matters of childbirth, and she felt rather sorry for herself when she heard Sean bringing it up. He never wanted a child, yet he says these things to hurt me.

She knitted her brows together for a moment before she smoothed them out and addressed him in a friendly tone. “You know Luna never went to you. I was the one who left the draft behind, and you sent it back to me. You should remember if there was a mark on it.”

Sean nodded a little before speaking. “Are you sure you want us to talk in such secrecy?”

The conversation seemed rather serious, yet they were caught in a rather intimate position. They had been in several types of positions while having a conversation, but they had never been stuck in a spot like that before.

Abigail seemed to snap out of a daze then and tried to wriggle her way out. “I’ll go out to take a

look” She barely moved before the man held onto her slim waist.

“Let’s just talk here.” His voice sounded rather raspy, but he had a serious look on his face.

Abigail lowered her gaze as she felt her cheeks turning red. “Can you help me retrieve the copy of

the draft that has a mark on it? I believe two copies were submitted, so it shouldn’t cause any issues to the show if you just take the dirtied piece back.” Sean clearly remembered the two copies of the draft. There were a few designers who had submitted their drafts earlier that day, and one of them

was Alana,

as a luxury item under his brand. Naturally, he had the privilege of screening through all the drafts

first. However, his gaze darkened at the thought of the annotation that had been left on Alana’s

draft

Sean took a glance at Abigail’s face before he spoke in a casual tone. “You didn’t hesitate to come over to me just for the sake of a draft. It seems like you really care about Alana.”

Abigail frore for a moment before she realized what was going on. He thinks that I staged that whole incident earlier. A surge of anger rushed through her chest, but she eventually suppressed the urge to kick the man. I have to control myself for the sake of L.Moon and the diamond!

Sean scoffed at her words. “You know me. I don’t care about Alana’s innocence, and I don’t need you to worry about my reputation.”

Abigail pursed her lips and remained silent for a while after that. She knew that it wouldn’t take much for Sean to reclaim his innocence with the role he had on the show. Furthermore, she knew that he couldn’t care less about the reputation of anyone else other than himself.

Sean then pinched her chin before adding in a deep voice, “You made a mistake this time, Abigail. You should be the one bearing the consequences. If I help you this time, what’s going to happen

next time? You deserve to learn a lesson.”

She thought that he was going to leave after finishing his words, so she reached out and clutched onto his arm. She tried her best to remain gentle as she spoke in a rather anxious tone. “I’ll lose my job if this gets out, Sean. Miss Smith is really nice, and she allowed me to realize my own worth. I’m begging

you to help me just this once.” She swung the man’s arm back and forth as she spoke in a rather coquettish tone.

However, Sean didn’t seem too impressed by her actions. Ever since Abigail asked for a divorce, she

had acted all distant and peculiar around him. It was rare for her to be so submissive, and she

always had some ulterior motive every time she acted in that manner.

“Do you really want to get a divorce?” Sean changed the topic all of a sudden.

Abigail couldn’t figure out what the man was trying to convey, so she took a while to contemplate

his words before responding in a cautious but sincere tone.

“Don’t worry. I put in a lot of thought and contemplation before deciding to ask for a divorce. I didn’t do it out of resentment and anger, and I’m not going to try to get revenge on you after our divorce. I’m not angry at Joan at all,” she explained.

Sean scoffed at her words. She sounds so sincere now, but her actions don’t match her words at all. Sean wasn’t interested in playing hard to get, so he simply pushed Abigail away before stepping out of the bushes.

“You’re a married woman, so you should dress in clothes that cover your stomach. I don’t want to see you wearing this in the future,” he warned her. After taking two steps away from the bush, he stopped and turned to look at the woman, who had a look of shock on her face. “If you feel like all that you deserve is

deserve is a job that involves serving others, then you should be able to feel that same

sense of worth with me.”

Abigail didn’t understand why the man seemed so annoyed at her all of a sudden. She furrowed her brows as she tried to recall what she had said that made the man angry. She wanted to make sure not to repeat the same mistakes. Meanwhile, Sean loosened his tie after walking away from her. Then, he pulled his phone out to send a text to Cameron. ‘I want to see all of Luna’s personal

details. Get me as much information as possible.‘

Abigail returned to her room as she continued to worry about how she could approach Sean once more. I have to convince him to help me reclaim that draft.
