The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 562 Love Is In The Air

Analise appeared to be quite knowledgeable in this area. Sean thought to himself, “I should discreetly ask her for

some advice when I can have a private conversation with her.”

Cameron scratched his head and replied, “Alright, Grandma.”

“Go on now. Bring me back some good news!” Analise urged him towards the door. “Do you have enough money?

If not, let Abigail transfer some to you. Be generous in front of the girl. She’s a city girl, and we can’t afford to be

stingy. Besides, it won’t hurt to spend a little more. when you’re courting someone.”

“I have enough, Grandma. Cameron became increasingly nervous as she spoke. His palms were getting sweaty at

this rate. Nevertheless, he was also quite happy to see an elder so concerned about him.

Abigail listened with delight. Her eyes were filled with genuine joy.

“When you leave, make sure to accompany the girl to her vehicle. Don’t just leave on your own, okay?” Analise

continued to nag even though they were already by the doorstep.

Cameron left reluctantly, thinking that it wouldn’t hurt to learn more about how to woo someone. He took all of her

words to heart.

Abigail couldn’t help but tease Analise when she saw her lingering at the door. “Grandma, he’s already gone. You

can stop looking.”

“Cameron is such a good boy. He listens to everything I say, unlike the rest of you. You guys have given me nothing

but stress!” Then, her tone gradually gained a hint of anxiety as she muttered quietly, “How much should we

prepare for the dowry? City girls demand quite a sum. If she wants a house, we’ll have to consider buying one for

her. Should we buy a house in Pendorf or Capitalis? But the prices for even a single apartment are sky-high over

here!”

Abigail felt that Cameron had taken Analise’s attention away from her when she wasn’t looking. So, she playfully

challenged in a pitiful tone, “Grandma, are you disappointed in

me?”

“No, but when will you and Sean get married again and have a child? I do want to meet my grandchild before I pass

away. Plus, that way, I would be able to tell your grandfather all about it when we meet in heaven,” Analise said.

She was old-fashioned, believing that one should start a family as soon as they got married.

“I want to marry someone else. Who said I’m going to remarry him? Stop taking his side, Grandma,” Abigail

challenged playfully.

Sean looked at Analise and asked, “Who is she talking about?”

“Who knows? She’s just stubborn,” Analise retorted with a chuckle.

Abigail took a deep breath and said, “I need to get back to work. What are you guys planning

to do?”

“Look at you! Working here, working there, working everywhere! Be careful. Someone else. might snatch Sean

away while you’re working,” Analise grumbled.

“That won’t happen. I only have Abigail in my mind,” Sean replied solemnly.

Just as they were joking around, Abigail’s phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a call from

Josh. At that moment, she knew that the Pearsons wanted her to go to the hospital again. So, she answered the call

and asked casually, “What’s up?”

“Grandpa is awake and wants to see you. Are you busy right now?” Josh asked.

Abigail hummed in response. After all, she couldn’t possibly refuse since it was an elderly person in the ICU.

“Grandma, I’m going to the hospital. Do you want to come along?” Abigail stood up tinge of sadness on her face.

with a

“Let Sean accompany you. I’ve never liked hospitals.” Analise tried to give them some space.

As the duo left L.Moon, Sean noticed that Abigail was unhappy. “It’s just a visit. We’ll be back soon enough,” he

reassured gently.

“We can’t stay in the ICU for too long,” Abigail said.

Sean leaned closer to her and said, “Cameron is already looking for a girlfriend. When will you consider me?”

“Do you think I’m in the mood to discuss this?” Abigail gave him a sidelong glance.

Sean suddenly remembered what Analise had said and asked, “Do you like bubble tea? I’ll

get you a cup from a nearby cafe.”

“Bubble tea is too sweet. I prefer coffee,” Abigail replied. She enjoyed coffee during work as it kept her alert.

“In that case, maybe you shouldn’t have any. You can rest when we get back,” Sean replied. without hesitation.

At that moment, Abigail’s expression changed drastically. She pushed Sean away and leaned against the car door

“If you’re not going to buy it, why are you asking? Stay away from me.”

Sean quickly realized that he may have been too straightforward earlier. “I’ll buy you one

when we pass a coffee shop later.” He immediately changed his approach.

“I don’t want it anymore!” Abigail snapped.

Sean scratched his nose and pleaded, “Can you give me another chance?”

“I said I don’t want it. What’s your problem?” Abigail said coldly.

Sean quietly observed her expression. He felt that she was simply sulking. Could this be how a girlfriend acts in the

early stages of a relationship? As he thought about that, he asked, “If you want to drink it, it’s better to admit it.

After all, I’m not a mind reader, and I can’t tell if you. genuinely don’t want it or if you’re just angry with me.”

“I’ve said I don’t want it. What else do you want?” Abigail replied. Men can be so annoying.

“You

say you don’t want it, but you seem angry. I offered to buy it for you, and you refused to drink it. I have no idea

what you want at this point,” Sean said, trying to remember if Abigail had been like this in the past.

Abigail felt her annoyance reach its peak and fell silent.

Sean took the opportunity to consider his options. When they passed a coffee shop, he told the driver to stop. “I’m

going to get you one anyway.” Getting it is better than nothing, right? If she doesn’t want it, I can just drink it. If she

does want it, but I didn’t get her coffee… Yeah, it’s better to buy one, just in case.

Abigail fell silent, her gaze fixed on his back. She found it hard to fathom how dense Sean. could be. Had he always

possessed such a limited emotional intelligence? Perhaps I overlooked it due to my lack of familiarity with him in the

past?

He purchased the coffee and extended it towards her. “It’s hot. Give it a try and let me know if you like it. If not, I

can always get you another one.”

“You’re quite persistent,” Abigail remarked, taking a sip.
