Chapter 124 I Want to Know Who He Is

Abigail could not be happier. She picked up a garlic shoot and started peeling it slowly, her speech

slowing down as well. “Alright. You can focus on your work. I’ll go home and visit Grandpa and

Grandma for you.”

“Why do you sound like you don’t care if we have a fallout?” Sean frowned, looking displeased.

She put on an innocent expression. “Really? Wasn’t I just trying to cover for both of us?”

He fell silent, his face cold.

When they started cooking, Analise complimented Sean on his skills in cooking fish and asked him

to help prepare a dish. She also made Abigail come into the kitchen and assist.

As such, Abigail crouched by the trash can while peeling garlic. The two of them worked as if they

were strangers.

Analise and Julie, who had been eavesdropping at the door for a while, had not heard any conversation

from the kitchen. They exchanged a glance and slowly sat down on the couch. “They’ve surely been

apart for too long. That’s why they’re arguing,” Julie whispered in a hushed

tone.

However, Analise had other thoughts. It’s probably because of the child that they’re facing criticism.

She let out a soft sigh. “If they had a child, they might not be arguing like this. This can’t go on; do

you have any suggestions?”

Julie smiled awkwardly. “Young people nowadays are reluctant to have children, and it’s

inappropriate for us to push them. If we pressure them too much, it might have the opposite

effect.”

Regarding the affairs of a family, Luna had advised against interfering.

After dinner, both Abigail and Sean served dishes to Analise, but they did not interact with each other.

Finally, Analise could not sit still any longer. “Have you two argued? Sean, did Abigail do something

wrong? If she did, I’ll take it up with her.”

He

put down his fork and knife and wore a gentle expression. “We didn’t argue. I’m just tired from the

business trip, so I don’t feel like talking much.”

At that, Analise looked at Abigail, who quickly picked up a piece of bean curd and offered it to her while

wearing a warm smile. “Where did you get that idea? I even suggested that he stay over tonight.” She

looked at Sean with a playful expression. “Right?”

“Why weren’t you two talking, then?” Analise still found it hard to believe their explanation.

Abigail explained, “I have something to attend to tonight, and I may’ve neglected him a bit, which is

probably why he’s upset. After I finish my business, I’ll talk to him, okay?”

In Sean’s mind, he thought that Abigail was just shifting the blame. His face remained calm as he

replied, “I’m not angry. I’ll wait for you to come back.”

His calm and composed response left Abigail a little puzzled. Is he planning to settle the score later?

She and Luna had left without sorting out the arrangements for the program’s follow–up. If Joan failed

to make her debut smoothly, Sean would undoubtedly teach her and Luna a lesson.

After dinner, Abigail talked with Analise while they washed the dishes together. She discreetly bid Julie

farewell and then left. However, the last thing she expected was to see Anthony and his car at the

entrance of her building.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she was surprised to see him leaning against his car.

“How did you find me?”

“I just asked around on Facebook.” Anthony stood up straight. He was wearing a brick–red suit with a

bright blue tie, which gave him a somewhat flamboyant appearance.

“You could’ve just told me the address instead of coming here,” she said as she approached him.

He smiled and raised an eyebrow. “It’s a duty of a senior to pick up a junior. Come on. Get in. Director

Lewis is waiting for us.”

She had studied design and met him during a competition in college, and he had been keeping an eye

on her ever since. At times, he often provided her with guidance on her designs. Afterward, when she

started the studio with Luna under the pseudonym Alana, he recognized her immediately based on her

design style. Since then, they kept in touch privately.

He was talented but had to return home to inherit his family’s business after graduation.

Sean turned and returned to Abigail’s room. Suppressing his anger, he took out his phone and was

about to contact Cameron to investigate the identity of the person she was working with when

Kevin suddenly sent him a picture.

He opened it.

As he saw the content of the photo, he narrowed his eyes slightly. After zooming in, he saw the

admiration and appreciation in Anthony’s eyes as he looked at Abigail, who had a confident smile

as she interacted with Lewis.

Following that, Kevin sent a link to an Instagram post, which Sean clicked as he approached a

nearby chair.

The post was about L.Moon Studio collaborating with Lewis on a new drama, and it garnered

significant attention. Both Lewis‘ and L.Moon Studio’s Instagram had comments numbering in the

tens of thousands. However, what caught Sean’s attention was that Star Media had mentioned

L.Moon Studio in a separate post and specifically tagged Alana’s Instagram account.

Then, he sent a message to Cameron on Instagram with a photo. ‘Find out who this man is besides

Director Lewis. I want to know his whereabouts immediately.‘
