Abigail's Second Life novel Chapter 796

After escorting Abigail to the entrance of the banquet hall, Sean did not leave immediately.

Inside the banquet hall, Abigail sat confidently in her seat.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, she chatted warmly with everyone and drank glass after glass of wine.

Sean recalled that she hadn't used to drink this often before. In the past six months with Simond, she seemed to have learned many things from him.

Meanwhile, Xavien quietly approached Sean and noticed that he was staring ahead without blinking, so he followed his line of sight.

Under the spotlight, the woman who haunted Sean's dreams was holding a glass of wine and talking to the people around her. After finishing her words, she boldly drank the wine in one gulp.

Xavien couldn't quite recognize Abigail. "Is that Ms. Quinn?" he asked with uncertainty.

Sean withdrew his gaze and walked toward the elevator. "Are your eyes not working well despite your young age? Should I be reflecting on whether I've overloaded you with work lately?"

"It's not that. It's just..." Xavien hesitated.

People who had been through certain experiences would change. Xavien and Sean had been to Golden Triangle. For some of them, once they stained blood on their hands, they would become a different person.

It was easy for a villain to pretend to be good, but once a good person did something unacceptable, they would become completely different from before.

Abigail belonged to the second category.

Sean stood at the elevator door, hands in his pockets, not answering Xavien.

Xavien entered the elevator with him and stated, "She didn't even tell you that she came back."

"Why do you have so much to say?" Sean glanced at him.

Xavien was not the same as before, and he wasn't afraid of upsetting Sean anymore. He merely smirked and teased, "What do you mean? You came all the way just to see how she's doing, didn't you? She's doing fine, so now you can relax."

"You're just that shallow." Sean chuckled. Abigail's grandmother suddenly passed away. How could she be fine?

Xavien looked at him without uttering another word.

In fact, Sean was much happier now that Abigail had returned.

During the six months when he broke up and lost contact with her, he had never been in the mood for jokes. Now, he was starting to speak more lightheartedly.

"Mr. Stewart wouldn't want you to fall for her," Xavien reminded Sean.

Sean didn't say anything, but the ease on his face visibly disappeared.

"Until we retrieve the funds, you and Ms. Quinn can't be together. Besides, she did choose Simond Simpson in the first place without bothering to give you an explanation." Xavien thought all of them had treated Abigail nicely. Everyone around Sean was very accommodating to her, so he couldn't fathom why she would treat Sean like that.

"Who said I wanted to be with her?" Sean questioned indifferently. "I still have a month with Ms. Walker."
