Sean thought she was asking if Lawrence was now a qualified father.
He frowned, looking very serious. "It's not easy to explain in a few words. Let me think."
Explaining the situation regarding Lawrence without being biased or overly critical was a challenging problem.
Abigail looked at him disdainfully. "Is it so difficult to answer? You never even considered it. You even told Grandmother you want to have a child with me."
Upon hearing her words, Sean was momentarily stunned. "Huh? Are you not talking about Lawrence?"
Abigail looked at him expressionlessly. "Forget it. Just pretend I didn't ask."
As the elevator stopped, she was about to leave when Sean immediately grabbed her hand.
Abigail was pushed against the elevator by him, staring at him with wide eyes. "What's gotten into you all of a sudden?"
The elevator doors opened.
Many office workers outside the elevator stared at the scene inside, craning their necks to get a better look.
Sean turned his head and glanced at the people outside the elevator. He spoke gently, "Could you all please wait for the next elevator and help press the close button of the elevator door?"
He was truly charming.
The girl at the door didn't even think about it and immediately helped him press the close button.
Sean's gaze returned to Abigail. Seeing her flushed face, he leaned in and stared at her up close. "Being a good father is not just something you say with your mouth. You'll only know when we have a child. You should know that men and women have different ways of treating children."
Because men don't carry the child, many husbands don't have much emotional connection even at the moment of the child's birth. After all, they are not involved in the process of pregnancy.
Without involvement, how would they know what it means to be a good father?
"Alright. Stop talking." Abigail pushed Sean's hand away, and her cheeks turned red.
But Sean remained unfazed. He kissed Abigail's lips and whispered, "Even Lynette calls me 'brother-in-law.' Can you give me a proper title, too?"
He truly hoped that Abigail could give him the identity of a boyfriend so that his heart could finally settle down.
"Don't push it. We agreed on two years, and it's only been a short time." Abigail pushed him away but didn't seem too displeased with the kiss.
Sean sighed and took two steps back. He turned around and pressed the button to open the elevator doors. "It's really difficult to get a title."
"It's difficult to pursue a girlfriend, especially one who has been divorced from you." Abigail deliberately teased him.
Sean looked at her with a mournful expression.
Abigail snorted.
Who asked him to act recklessly before?
The elevator doors opened again, and it was the same group of people as before.
Abigail felt embarrassed as Sean held her hand and walked out, attracting the attention of everyone around. She felt like she wanted to disappear.
