Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 898 Pregnant

"It seems like you're well-informed about Danielle's past actions," Abigail exclaimed, her mind racing to catch up with the recent facts. She hadn't even had the chance to inquire about the depths of Danielle's misdeeds.

"It's because of what Cindy brought up. Hence, it was investigated by Xavien,” Sean revealed, sensing the importance of addressing the issue head- on.

With Cindy having Harold’s support, she had a shield against the relentless onslaught of criticism from netizens. However, if Abigail were to confront this alone, she would have to weather the storm solo.

As a public figure. her options were limited. Apart from directly addressing public opinion, there seemed to be no other recourse.

"Do you think the scandal involving L.Moon is finally reaching its conclusion?" Abigail still clung to the hope that the chaos surrounding L.Moon would eventually subside.

"Without a doubt, there's been a noticeable decline in popularity, but perhaps that's for the best. You've been pushing yourself too hard all these years, so it's time to take a step back and breathe. There’s no need to constantly be on edge. Plus, we can start thinking about starting a family.” Sean suggested, a gentle smile tugging at the corners of his lips.

"But what about your company?” she questioned, her concern evident. She wouldn't stand for him quietly transferring the company's assets online and sending her back home to focus on starting a family. “Oh, Graham International? Xavien is keeping an eye on it. I've been indulging in farming lately," he quipped, his tone light-hearted.

Abigail speculated that Lina had developed a newfound passion for gardening, and without delving further into the matter, she simply nodded in agreementThis content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Alright.”

Upon their arrival at the restaurant, Sean took a moment to offer words of comfort to Harold over the phone The can of worms Cindy opened ended up causing quite a stir, and Graham International was significantly implicated.

"The Hinton Family is like a predator lurking in the shadows, eagerly waiting for any sign of vulnerability from our side to strike mercilessly," Sean expressed, his brow creased with worry as he concluded the call and shared his concerns with Abigail.

While holding the menu in her hands, Abigail's face was etched with worry as she pondered their next course of action. "What do you think we should do?"

I've been in contact with reputable media outlets recently. I'm considering sharing my story with them," he revealed, recognizing the importance of establishing official connections, even if it meant maneuvering through the complexities of bureaucracy and potentially increasing his tax burden.

Relying solely on Graham International to withstand the relentless pressure exerted by the Hinton Family in Capitalis was simply not sustainable. Harold couldn't afford to make any missteps. Ancther slip-up could result in him once again falling prey to the Hinton Family's relentless attacks. "Are we really going to make adjustments?" she inquired, her voice tinged with concern.

"Yes, I've made my decision. But don't worry, I'll make sure everything is handled smoothly going forward," he reassured her.

After Cindy's heartfelt apology video, the situation surrounding Danielle underwent a noticeable shift. However, despite this, L.Moon's platform was undeniably experiencing a decline in traffic. The once vibrant daily sales of Fairy Meadow had dwindled by a significant 20% compared to pre-incident levels.

"Let's put a pin in it for now and eagerly await the unveiling of our new autumn collection," Abigail suggested as she gently placed the sales report aside and turned her attention to Garrett.

"The impending resignations of several talented designers from our design department have me deeply concerned. They've always been dedicated and trouble-free." His expression grew solemn. The loss of talent signaled a slow descent into decline.

"In times of adversity, birds seek

Garrett let out a wistful sigh, and he gave a bittersweet smile. "At least the burden will lighten, even if only by a fraction."

"Perhaps this downturn is L.Moon's opportunity to recalibrate and gradually stabilize." She recognized the need for the company to adapt and evolve in response to changing market dynamics.

“Your words bring me much relief," he replied half-jokingly to lighten the mood

With a graceful smile, Abigail rose from her seat-"Why dwell on pessimism When we're simply facing the inevitable? Danielle's incident” merelyaccelerated it. Now that'we have moment to spare, whynot take the opportunity to contemplate your marriage?" Content.belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Garrett was momentarily taken aback by the sudden shift in conversation. "Marriage? Why the sudden urge to discuss marriage? I'll take my leave now,” he exclaimed, feigning exasperation as he made his escape

After a tiring day at work, Abigail trudged back home. However, as soon as she stepped through the door, she was gently pulled into the room by Scarlett

Abigail queried softly, “Mom. what's the matter?"

"Abby, have you noticed it's been a while since your last period? Since you've been back, I haven't seen any signs of it," Scarlett remarked. She had always kept track of her daughter's monthly cycle

A sudden realization dawned upon Abigail as she pondered, /f has indeed been two months since my last menstrual cycle. She covered her mouth, and a playful glint danced in her eyes. "Could it be that I'm pregnant?"

Determined to confirm their suspicions, an eager Scarlett declared, "I'll have Lawrence buy a pregnancy test kit for you right away,” her enthusiasm palpable as she rubbed her hands together.

Before the pregnancy test kit could be obtained, Sean arrived.

Sitting anxiously on the sofa, he clasped Abigail's hand tightly. His tension was evident, as could be seen from the beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Lawrence returned with the pregnancy test, and with bated breath, Abigail retreated to the bathroom to conduct the test.

Upon seeing the two distinct lines on the pregnancy test kit, Abigail felt a rush of embarrassment tinged with joy as she emerged from the bathroom and handed the pregnancy test kit to Sean.

When Sean saw the result, he wasted no time in passing the pregnancy test kit to Scarlett before enveloping Abigail in a tight embrace. His voice was filled with overwhelming emotion as he spoke, "You're going to be a mother."

Abigail enveloped him in a tender embrace, her voice barely above a whisper as she delivered the joyful news, “Congratulations, you're going to be a father.”

"Let's schedule a hospital visit for tomorrow to determine the timing of Abigail's conception. And... perhaps we should consider getting the marriage certificate first?” Lawrence felt that obtaining the marriage certificate would bring him peace of mind.

"Of course, I'll consult with Abigail." Sean agreed and reluctantly released Abigail from his arms but still kept his gaze fixed on her. The lingering reluctance to avert his eyes served as a silent reassurance to both Lawrence and Scarlett.

Happiness surged through her heart, unlike anything she had ever experienced before.
