Chapter 817 Saving the Damsel in Distress
Abigail couldn't help but chuckle as Sean looked at him disdainfully. "Don't stick to me. I only want your sister to stick to me."
"Forget it. You'd best behave yourself in the future, as I'm rather unforgiving," Josh warned Sean.
Sean was not afraid at all. "Okay, but I have my wife to protect me."
Abigail was quite annoyed at this point. When they looked at her, she quickly spoke up, "Don't expect me to make any choices. I've always been fair. If you fall into the water, I won't save any of you because I can't swim!"
"Forget about that. Let's talk about Luna." Sean stopped joking with them.
He had been wanting to talk to Josh about it.
Josh's face turned serious at the mention of it. Holding Larry, who was playing by himself, he asked solemnly, "Do you have a plan? Eric hasn't contacted me recently."
"I've sent someone to check the situation first. Once Eric agrees to our plan, the news will be released immediately. If he doesn't agree, then so be it," Sean replied seriously.
"I'm worried that something might have gone wrong on Eric's end. He hasn't replied to any of the messages I've sent," Josh said in a deep voice.
Sean leaned back in his seat, looking at the sea of clouds outside, and said softly, "Let's just release the news directly. It's better for his safety."
"When will your people have any news?" Abigail asked.
"This week. After we've met everyone we need to see, we'll head over to New Yoke." Sean reached out and grabbed Abigail's shoulder.
Abigail nodded, her gaze falling on Josh's face. "Josh, you stay home and take care of Larry. Andrew and Martin are your responsibility, and keep an eye on Simond too. I heard he went missing, and I'm afraid he might come back. You need to protect the child and everyone else, understand?"
"I want to come with you." Josh's eyes held a hopeful look.
"You need to stay home. You won't be of any use there." Sean was blunt. "You don't know how to use weapons or fight. You'll just be a liability."
Josh was left speechless.
All he wanted was to go and save his loved one.
"I know what you're thinking, that saving Luna will make a difference, but going there is risking your life. Without any skills, it's pointless." Sean's tone was cold.
Josh knew the man was right, so he fell silent.
"It's okay. We've got this. You stay home and take care of our parents," Abigail tried to reassure him.
In the end, Josh reluctantly agreed, "Just make sure to stay safe."
When they reached Pendorf, Sean heard that Irene and Kevin had a fight.
It was a rare occurrence.
"After you left, Mr. Stewart suddenly confronted Irene, accusing her of liking you and not being able to forget you. Irene got angry, and they ended up arguing at the club before parting ways," Xavien
explained carefully to Sean.
Sean felt a headache coming on.
Abigail listened quietly beside him.
"Find out more and then come to my office," Sean said before quickly hanging up the phone.
Abigail looked at him. "Do you still have to protect Irene?"
"I had a previous agreement with her. She asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend for three months. Once she finished renovating her home, we would break up," Sean explained to Abigail.
Abigail nodded slowly. "What else?"
"I have been entrusting her to Kevin because her biological parents would abuse her," Sean continued.
"Be more specific." Abigail frowned. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to find an excuse for Sean and continue their sweet relationship.
"She was raised in the countryside. Her parents had only wanted one daughter, but she was an accident, and they didn't really want her, so they sent her to live in the countryside. Recently, Grandma wanted to… set me up on a blind date, so she asked around, and her family quickly pushed her forward," Sean said, raising his hand to touch his forehead.
Abigail closed her eyes and made a sound of agreement, sounding utterly regal. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Sean continued, "Grandma thinks she is similar to you and wants her to replace you… However, Grandma also knows that I can't forget you."
Abigail opened her eyes and looked at him. "Kevin is not a suitable match for her. If she is a good partner, it would have been better if you had introduced her to Xavien instead of Kevin, right?"
Sean agreed, "I was in a confused state of mind at that time and didn't expect to make another mistake."
"Bring her to your office and inquire about the situation." Abigail felt sorry for the girl who lived with her grandparents and was disliked by her own parents.
When the family needed her, she was cast aside as a tool.
Knowing that Sean might still have feelings for his ex, she still had to intervene.
"Okay." Sean immediately sent a message to Irene.
"How is her design sense?" Abigail asked again.
"I have no idea. I'm not interested in her at all," Sean answered honestly.
Abigail licked her lips and said, "If the design is good, bring her over to L.Moon. She will have more exposure and broaden her horizons."
"If you don't like her, then don't worry about it. I will take care of it," Sean said calmly. He didn't want to do it just for the sake of it.
