Vincent fixed his gaze on Abigail, a smug satisfaction lingering in his eyes, similar to that of a narrow-minded individual reveling in their perceived triumph.
"Sean really believes in you," he suddenly said out of the blue, then casually walked into the house.
Abigail's eyes filled with deep hatred, but she quickly suppressed it.
"Let's go," she said calmly to Sean and walked out.
Sean followed her.
As they sat in the car, Sean finally spoke up, "Your animosity toward Vincent today seems a bit unusual."
"I have always disliked him. If it weren't for the terrible things he did, you wouldn't have found yourself in such a situation," Abigail replied.
Luna had endured suffering, yet Vincent, the primary wrongdoer, remained unscathed.
She couldn't understand it. Is it possible that virtuous individuals perish prematurely while malevolence endures for millennia?
"It's alright. There will come a day when he pays for his actions," Sean comforted Abigail.
Although he felt that Abigail was acting strangely today, he believed in her.
If she had something to share, she would surely tell him.
After all, they had been together for so long.
Even if she was keeping something from him, it was likely a decision she arrived at after thoughtful deliberation.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Sean ordered the food while Abigail played with her phone and asked him, "Have you seen Josh recently? How is he doing?"
"What else could he be doing? Besides, when he's working, he's pretty normal now. He's usually very introverted and cold. Probably because he truly despises Luna," Sean paused for a moment and continued, "I think it's common for relationships to come to an end, but Luna's way of breaking up with him was exceptionally heartless."
"Do you know how they broke up?" Abigail was somewhat surprised.
She had asked a few times before, but unfortunately, Josh didn't explain in detail and told her not to worry, saying that he didn't blame Luna.
"Not long after he came back, I took him out for a drink to help him cope with his pain. After he got drunk, he told me some things. He said they were getting along well, but Luna started getting inexplicably angry, even though he made a lot of effort to salvage the relationship and tried not to provoke her. Unfortunately, in the end, she still hurt him deeply." Sean leaned closer to Abigail.
"Josh mentioned that in the month leading up to their breakup, Luna almost drove him crazy. Every night, when they were sleeping together, he would turn over, and Luna would suddenly wake up. Then, she would fly into a rage and start smashing things, telling him to get out. Was Luna always like this?" Sean couldn't help but feel that this Luna was entirely different from the one he knew before.
If she truly had character issues, she would have shown her true colors after working with Abigail for so many years.
