The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 571 She Still Doesn’t Trust Him

Luna readily agreed, saying, “Sure I don’t feel right letting you handle all this work on your

Own

Their relationship was once passionate, but now it had fizzled out. Luna no longer felt as dependent on Josh

After dinner, Josh managed to convince Luna to watch a new movie.

Abigail was too exhausted from work to go out, so she sat at the dining table with Sean in

silence.

“After sitting for a while, are you going back later?” he asked her.

She nodded and replied, “I’ll stay a bit longer.” She was truly drained and didn’t want to move.

“If you really don’t want to go, I can carry you,” he said with a smile, leaning back in his chair.

She let out a huff. “Do you want Grandma to scold me? Are you feeling better?”

“Probably not yet; it’s not that easy to recover,” Sean honestly replied. He only wanted to please Abigail, forgetting

that his health was far from what it used to be.

“We’ll leave in half an hour,” she said, leaning back in her chair and replying to messages on her phone.

“Working like this is too tiring for you. I suggest finding a way to delegate some of your responsibilities,” he advised

her.

“There’s not much I can do. Luna and I jointly own the company, and there are no suitable candidates to manage it

temporarily. Plus, I don’t trust anyone else,” she said. At the moment, she had no intention of grooming a president

for the company.

“At the very least, you can find someone to help you. You’re going to wear yourself out at this rate,” Sean earnestly

suggested.

“I’ll only be tired like this for the next two years. We can talk about grooming someone after two years. It’s not

easy,” Abigail said.

L.Moon had only been in operation for less than a year, and even if they wanted someone to take over, it would

take time.

He thought to himself, Another two years… However, he didn’t dare to interfere in her affairs. After all, L..Moon had

been through too much, and she would not trust someone who suddenly took over.

“How about I help you with your work tomorrow? Maybe I can be of some use,” Sean suddenly suggested.

Abigail watched him cautiously and asked, “What do you want to do?”

Her suspicions left him exasperated. I’m willing to help without considering my health, and you still think I want to

take over your company?”

“It’s not what I mean, I just don’t like it, she calmly replied.

Even if they were to be together in the future, she didn’t like the idea of spouses interfering with each other’s

businesses. Suppose one day, things between them didn’t go well again, and he knew about the company’s

operations… Indeed, Abigail didn’t trust Sean too much because their marriage had issues once. She thought that if

they ended up separating due to falling out of love with each other for a second time, it would result in a complete

mess, and even L.Moon would suffer.

He looked at her for a while and then asked, “Do you think I would interfere with your company and make you less

free in the future?”

“Sean, don’t make wild guesses, she calmly said.

“I know you don’t trust me. His voice carried a hint of disappointment.

Abigail frowned as she looked at Sean. “Do I need to trust you for work? Many things can be trusted, but L.Moon is

something that belongs to Luna and me. I know you mean well, but I simply don’t want anyone to interfere, not

even Josh. I only need someone promoted from within and completely devoted to me. Do you understand?”

At this very moment, he finally understood that her failure in their first marriage had permanently closed her heart.

During this year of ups and downs, she was no longer the same person who only cared about design.

“I was too hasty in my thinking and didn’t consider your feelings.” He apologized first.

“In the future, your career is yours, and mine is mine. This is my bottom line. Even if we are together in the future, I

don’t want L.Moon to have any connection with you. I don’t want to consider any marital property.” Abigail

explained in an extremely calm tone to Sean.

I..Moon was the only thing she and Luna could hold on to. After all, Sean and Josh both came from wealthy families.

Abigail didn’t trust that love and marriage could shelter them for a lifetime. If one day they divorced, she and Luna

still had L.Moon to rely on, and they wouldn’t end up with nothing.

Sean looked at Abigail and said, “If you’re willing, I’m willing to give you everything I have in case you don’t feel

secure.” He understood why she was so concerned about L.Moon now.

When they divorced, the things Lina had said had left a scar on Abigail’s heart. Even though these wounds would no

longer hurt, the scars were permanent. Moreover, Abigail had a difficult three years in the Graham Estate.

Everything she and Lama had now was obtained under a lot of pressure, and she would never easily trust others

again.

“I don’t need your things either. I have hands and feet and can earn my living,” she said as she lifted her teacup

and took a sip of water.

These words might seem harsh to Sean, who had put in so much effort and wanted to make amends. However, the

fact was that she couldn’t trust anyone wholeheartedly anymore due to the experiences she had gone through.

Abigail’s nose started to feel sore. She took a deep breath and told Sean, “I’ve paid the price in love, and you might

not understand how I went through those three years, but I won’t blame you. The result of not blaming you is the

situation we’re in now. I don’t know if you’ll regret it, but I won’t.”
