Abigail's Second Life novel Chapter 711

However, Abigail still yearned to be with Sean.

"I'll listen to it when I have the time. I have something to attend to here. I'll be ending the phone call now," Sean said, preparing to hang up.

"Sean, I did encounter some problems last night. I was afraid that if I answered your call, you would worry about me. That's why I declined your call." Abigail's words were partly true and partly false. Nevertheless, her desire to reconcile with Sean was genuine.

"Abigail, I thought that after spending so much time together, we could talk about anything. Now, I realize that we have nothing to talk about," Sean had reached his limit with Abigail's concealment.

Even if she told him the truth today, he would still cave because of what she had said before.

"Do you want to break up?" Abigail asked bluntly.

"I don't want to. I just need some time to myself. My eyes are always on you. To make matters worse, my thoughts are always revolving around you. I'm done. I want to live for myself for a while," Sean calmly replied.

"Okay. Then, take your time," Abigail said before hanging up.

There was no point in saying anything more at this point.

Furthermore, Abigail was never good with words. She didn't know whether she should say some sweet words in order to change Sean's mind.

When she thought about that, her mind would wander to the fact that she would be absent for a long time because of Luna.

Sean would overthink and get angry when he learned about this.

In that case, it would be best for them to have some space of their own.

Abigail couldn't help but think ruefully. Back then, when I was upset, I would ask Luna out for a drink. Now, the only thing waiting for me is a lonely dinner and hours of self-introspection.

...

Meanwhile, in frustration, Sean slumped back in his chair after ending the phone call.

Cameron was watching his men train with a lollipop in his mouth. When he caught sight of his former boss so troubled, he couldn't help but say, "If you can't bear to be apart from her, find her. Why torture yourself?"

"What do you know?" Sean said, standing up to continue his workout.

Cameron joined him on the treadmill. As they ran, he said to Sean, "Maybe she really has something going on? It's important to empathize with your partner. Just take a look at my relationship. My girlfriend suddenly wants to further her studies. So, I support her decision. What else can I do?"

"She didn't tell me the truth," Sean said quietly, "I've always been afraid to investigate Grandma's matter because she refused to come clean. You should know how uncomfortable and frustrating this feels."

Cameron nodded in understanding before suggesting lightly, "I've been thinking... Could Grandma's matter be related to Vincent's fraud? Just think about it. You've had to receive treatment for your injury for two whole years. Maybe she feels guilty?"

Sean remained silent.

Nevertheless, he couldn't help but find that Cameron's words did make sense.

"Why not? If it involves Vincent, this is no longer a minor issue. Do you think she can solve it with just Ronaldo by her side? Have you forgotten what happened to you when you went there? What if she has been smuggled abroad? It will be useless to regret it once that happens," Cameron said, walking to the side and scolding a lazy security guard.
