Abigail's Second Life novel Chapter 763

Abigail ended the call with Simond and hesitated for a while before dialing Sean's number.

She made several attempts, but Sean didn't answer.

She speculated that he might consider it a strange number and mistake it for a scam, so he chose not to pick it up.

After a moment of thought, she decided to send a message to Sean. 'I'm Abigail Quinn. My phone was destroyed, and I'm borrowing someone else's.'

Shortly after sending the message, she received a call from him.

She quickly answered the call and felt a sense of relief as tears welled up in her eyes. "Sean, I—"

"Can you explain what you've been doing?" Sean's voice was cold. "You've been lying to me, haven't you?"

Her throat tightened as she struggled to express the multitude of emotions. Eventually, she let out a forced laugh. "Yes, I've been lying to you all along. I was planning to explain everything to you after it was all over."

"If it's because of Luna, you could have just told me. Why didn't you? Do you really think so little of me that you'd rather believe Simond than me?!" Sean's voice was filled with anger.

Abigail listened quietly while being unsure of her feelings.

She felt sorry for him, but she wasn't overly upset by his questioning today.

This day was bound to come. Sean had found out, and she no longer needed to live burdened by secrets.

"It's not that I don't believe you, but there are things I must keep from you," she said softly. "I apologize, but... if you can't forgive me, I won't blame you."

"Abigail." Sean's voice trembled with emotion, but he quickly subdued it. "You're with another man and raising a child in secret. How am I supposed to accept that? Tell me whose child it is and what your relationship is with that man. I won't inquire about anything else. Just tell me, and we can pretend none of this ever happened."

"I can't reveal the child's identity yet. It's not the right time. As for the man, he's just a doctor's son. I went to see him regarding my matters." Abigail's voice grew steadily calmer.

In truth, she didn't believe that he truly wanted to pretend nothing had happened.

They would have disagreements in the future, and he might dwell on these thoughts, leading to unnecessary worries.

"Do you truly not care about our relationship?" he asked her.

"Do you not know whether or not I care about our relationship? Sean, I know it's wrong for me to keep things from you, but I have my own matters to attend to. I need to finish what I have to say. If you don't want to forgive me or get angry with me, I'll explain when I come back." She didn't want to argue with him over the phone.

And she didn't have the energy for it anymore.

Originally, she had only called to hear his voice, but she didn't expect this outcome.

Sean's throat tightened, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Fine. If you don't want to say it, then forget it. Do as you please."

"Okay," she replied before ending the call.
