When Cameron decided to leave, Abigail chose to go with him.
"I'll go over with Josh early tomorrow morning." Abigail straightened her clothes. "Grandma is no longer here, and Cameron is inexperienced in this area. I need to assist him."
Kevin leaned back on the couch and clicked his tongue twice. "Abigail, you're truly remarkable. You handle every situation with grace upon your return."
Sean gave him a kick. "Instead of teasing others, why don't you focus on yourself?"
Abigail was quite displeased with Kevin, mainly because he used to be too flirtatious, and she couldn't even keep track of the number of girlfriends he had.
However, it was fine as long as he maintained a good relationship with Irene.
Kevin rubbed his leg. "What's wrong with me… I'm trying to behave, aren't I?"
He was feeling irritated deep down, so his words weren't as pleasant.
Sean noticed but didn't say anything further.
Initially, he had asked Kevin to help out, but Kevin was acting rather off today. But considering how he was with many attractive girls, it didn't seem so strange.
"Honey, I'll go with you." Sean put his arm around Abigail's shoulder.
Abigail glanced at him. "It's just one night. There's no need to be so clingy."
"I can't bear to be apart even for a second," Sean purred.
"You're way too cheesy." Abigail crossed her arms but didn't refuse.
As they boarded the plane, Abigail felt a bit tired and fell asleep immediately.
Cameron couldn't sleep, staring blankly at the starry sky outside the plane. In the past year, he had matured a lot and became much quieter.
"Speaking of which, it was Old Mrs. Quinn who arranged this marriage for me. I wonder if she would be upset to see how things have turned out," Cameron said with a hint of melancholy in his voice.
Sean looked at his profile for a long time before asking, "Feeling lost?"
"Yeah, sometimes I wonder if it would have been better to date longer before getting married. The child came so suddenly, and her changes were so abrupt, too. I just feel lost," Cameron said, shifting his gaze to Sean's face.
"Mr. Graham, these past few months, I've been afraid to go home most of the time. I dread the thought of her arguing with me when I get home. I don't know how to communicate with her. When she cries and throws a fit, I feel both heartbroken and annoyed, but I don't know what to say." Cameron looked completely lost.
Sean patted his shoulder. "Take a nap first. Everything will be better with Abby here."
Cameron lowered his eyes. "I can't let you guys help me forever."
"So, remember what she does when she does it," Sean said. "Marriage is indeed difficult to maintain. The initial passion and love slowly fade away, and it becomes a mundane life. As you gradually become closer like family, you may start to feel repulsed by her or even be attracted to other women outside, but you must stay true to yourself."
