“Unfortunately, my grandma answered my phone today. She’s in poor health and was quite upset, which is why I
came here. I don’t know how to communicate with Miss Fernandez, and I’m unclear on why she’s behaving this
way. So, I had no choice but to seek advice from wife, Mr. Fernandez,” Abigail responded calmly, maintaining eye
contact with him.

these inconsequential matters, don’t you think?”
“It hasn’t been confirmed that it was my daughter’s doing yet, so I can’t give you an answer,” Carla declared with a

After concluding the call with Sean, Tony returned to the room and looked at Abigail with a much friendlier
expression. “I called Lacey, but she’s currently studying in another city and can’t return.”
“That’s right. Lacey is pursuing a career as a violinist, Carla said proudly.

Abigail was taken aback by the sudden change in his attitude. She couldn’t help but wonder, Did that call have
