Luna's circumstances prevented her from devoting all her time to work.
"That's it, then. I'm also working on developing the company's management team. When we get married again, we'll have more time for our family!" Sean spoke optimistically about his future with Abigail.
Abigail looked at the anticipation on his face and smiled, but she couldn't help but wonder if all of this could be achieved within two years.
"Let's take a walk after dinner, Sean. I have something to tell you," Abigail said, holding his hand tightly.
"Okay." Sean began to sense that Abigail had something weighing heavily on her mind.
While they were sitting down to eat, Lawrence suddenly said, "You went on a business trip to Saraville, right? I don't think we have any business there, though."
His words made both siblings at the table tense up.
Josh didn't dare look at Abigail and instead replied, "I went to visit Mr. York. His granddaughter just returned from studying abroad, and he wanted me to meet her."
"Why didn't you tell me about this?" Lawrence muttered with a puzzled expression.
Scarlett seemed worried. "You're not going to be with his granddaughter, are you? I like Melanie York as a person, but I wouldn't want her to be a part of the Pearsons."
"Why not?" Abigail asked instinctively.
Sean looked at her but didn't say anything.
"I'm someone who goes by first impressions. Mr. York's granddaughter is exceptional in every way, and I think she would be a good match for anyone. I just don't really like her. She seems too serious at times, and she wouldn't gel well with an introvert like Josh." No matter what, Scarlett still preferred Luna. Luna had a lively personality and a quick temper, but most importantly, she could bring out the best in someone as reserved as Josh.
"Is that so? What do you think, Josh?" Abigail looked at Josh curiously.
She originally thought that Josh had gone to Saraville because of her. Her heart thumped nervously, but she was eager to hear his answer.
When she heard that he went to meet someone, Abigail felt a bit disappointed.
She didn't want Josh to find out, but at the same time, she wanted him to know as well.
"I don't have any feelings for her. Our families were pretty close when we were younger, but they moved to Saraville, and we lost touch," Josh explained to Abigail.
Abigail felt a little relieved, but soon, she felt like she was being selfish. Given Luna's situation, Josh would never accept her, even if she was the victim.
After finishing their meal, Abigail went for a walk with Sean.
