Awakening from his nap, Sean blinked at Abigail, and his teary eyes made him look somewhat harmless.
Abigail stared at him, assessing.
"What's wrong?" He looked at her with a bewildered expression.
"Wake up. It's time for dinner," she said. Sean did look charming; she initially liked him not only because he had saved her from almost drowning but also because she hadn't seen a man more handsome than him.
He yawned. "I've been too busy lately. I didn't even know I dozed off."
Turning toward the bedroom door, Abigail said, "Go back and rest well tonight. There's nothing important later, and you don't need to wake up so early to drive me to work."
"If I don't drive you, other men will. I can't give them a chance to do so."
With the passing of Gary, Eric's eyes were fixated on Abigail after he returned. Sean suspected that if he wasn't around Abigail, Eric's parents would have Eric come to woo her.
Compared to Lily, who drugged Eric to sleep with him, Abigail was much more outstanding. Currently, Abigail was the sought-after one, and Sean didn't want her to be taken away.
"Do you think I'd get into any cars?" Abigail coldly asked.
Instead of answering, Sean asked lazily, "If it was Eric's car, would you?"
She didn't know how to answer this question. If it were Eric, she would definitely get into his car. After all, Eric's relationship with her was different.
"I knew it. If it were Eric, you would definitely get in his car. I can't give him a chance." Though Sean was smiling, he felt disappointed inside, for she couldn't firmly tell him that she wouldn't get into Eric's car.
"You don't need to do this, you know?" Abigail said calmly. She felt that Sean had never truly trusted her. Does he think I will easily give up on him?
He sighed. "I feel uneasy because you haven't confirmed our relationship."
They had been together for so long, but she was still unwilling to confirm their relationship. Why? Does she still have doubts about me?
While they were talking, they had already descended the stairs.
When Lily saw Sean, she shamelessly assessed him as though she were looking at her prey.
This disgusted Abigail.
Sean furrowed his brows, feeling repulsed as if he had swallowed a fly.
"What are you looking at?" Abigail pulled Sean behind her and asked Lily with an unfriendly expression.
"I'm just looking. Even if he marries you, it's not against the law for me to look. Anyway, you're not married, and you've been divorced," Lily said arrogantly before walking toward the dining room.
