The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 271 The Unimpressive Sean

“This time, we have a formidable opponent. Let’s talk more about it tonight. I’ll come to pick you up,”

Kevin said and quickly hung up the phone. I have to inform Sean about this.

Abigail also wanted to share a few more words with him, but when the call was disconnected, she

didn’t feel like calling him back. She intended to let him talk to Sean, but now it seemed inevitable that

she would have to meet with the latter.

When Luna returned, it was already evening, and Abigail was preparing dinner at home with Analise.

As soon as Luna entered the house, she and Abigail quickly returned to their room.

Meanwhile, Analise put her task aside and secretly followed them, leaning against the door to

eavesdrop on their conversation.

Luna already knew about the crisis at L.Moon. Since she rushed back from a distance, her face was

visibly tired.

“Have some rest first. We’ll go out after dinner. This situation involves too many people, and the two of

us discussing it won’t help much.” Abigail patted her on the shoulder.

“Abby, if Micah runs away, will our design drafts be leaked? If that happens, the market will be flooded

with counterfeit products, leading to L.Moon’s closure, right?” Luna’s face turned pale at that.

Seeing her like this, Abigail felt guilty. She sat down beside Luna and held her hand. “I won’t let that

happen. You have to trust me. If worse comes to worst, I can negotiate with the Pearson Family,”

Abigail said softly.

Outside the door, when Analise heard that, she slowly moved away and walked into the kitchen with a

heavy heart.

The two didn’t chat for long, and Abigail asked Luna to rest before going to the kitchen to help her

grandmother.

“How is Luna? She doesn’t look good,” Analise asked with concern, sounding as she usually did.

With her usual expression, Abigail replied, “She’s just tired; it’s nothing.”

Analise nodded and didn’t say anything more.

During dinner, Luna didn’t eat much. After finishing the meal, the both of them went downstairs

together.

Originally, it was Kevin who was supposed to pick her up, but instead, she saw Sean standing by the

car. He was tall and imposing. Under the moonlight, his long legs were particularly eye- catching.

When Abigail saw him, it didn’t surprise her. It was Luna who turned to look at Abigail immediately.

“Let’s go,” Abigail held Luna’s hand and said warmly.

Only after Luna realized that Abigail knew that Sean would be coming did she finally relax.

Abigail stepped forward and greeted him. “Good evening.”

With a nod, Sean opened the car door for Abigail. “Hop in.”

After everyone got in, the car drove into the night and stopped at the entrance of Fantasy Bar.

The three of them got out of the car, and it was only then that Sean told Abigail, “Kevin came earlier to

make a reservation, so he didn’t go to pick you up.” It was as if he was afraid she would

misunderstand.

“Got it,” Abigail replied.

At this moment, Sean noticed that both she and Luna weren’t in high spirits and understood that the

incident at L.Moon had hit them hard.

Once inside the private room of the bar, they took their seats, and Kevin asked Abigail and Luna, “Do

you prefer low–alcohol wine?”

“You can handle the order,” Abigail replied.

Leaning back in her chair, Luna suddenly announced, “Bring me a bottle of whiskey.”

Abigail knew her friend was in a bad mood and thought it would be good for her to vent.

When Kevin heard her order, he raised an eyebrow and looked at her before saying, “Sure. Let’s have

a drink and discuss the situation thoroughly to find a good solution.”

In fact, Luna felt frustrated. She had previously refused Sean’s help, but he had actually been helping

them quietly all along.

I’ve been investigating Micah Carott from your company. I expect there will be some news in the next

couple of days. If she’s connected to Kelly, you should personally go to the Pearson Family to hold

Kelly accountable.” Sean got straight to the point after the waiter left to fetch the drinks.

With her hand interlocked, Abigail spoke calmly. “I already have a plan for Micah. You guys are their

target now. Mr. Stewart is ensnared, so you must be careful too.”

She made this reminder in a very casual manner, but it made Sean’s heart swell with happiness.

All this while, Luna kept an eye on Sean and couldn’t help but think to herself, Look at him, acting all

unimpressive.

“Thank you for the reminder, Ms. Quinn.” A smile played on Sean’s lips uncontrollably,

“You should also rein in your behavior, Mr. Stewart. It’s not easy to clear your name once you’ve been

labeled a playboy.” Luna, seeing Kevin sitting there and smiling, couldn’t help but remind him aloud.

He has been bashed online, and the stock market of East Joy Talent has been dropping continuously.

How can he still be in the mood to smile?

“I’m a playboy, and I deserve criticism. I have nothing to clear.” Kevin leaned back on the couch

casually, his face a mask of indifference.

Luna couldn’t help but purse her lips in disdain.

“How much do you know about Kelly?” Abigail asked Se

After taking a sip from his glass, he replied, “Kelly is not a good person. Besides, the Pearson Family’s

situation is even more complicated than the Davidson Family’s. It would be quite time- consuming to

investigate her.”

When Abigail went to Eastbay, Sean was concerned for her safety, and they had limited time. And so,

he had only investigated some of the Pearson Family’s history and had stopped because he didn’t

consider Kelly a significant threat at the time.
