Chapter 632 Everything Goes Black
Sean glanced at Abigail.
Abigail looked at Lawrence and said softly, “You may think I’m heartless, but let me tell you, many children from
dysfunctional families have parents like mine. Cutting ties is the only way to make yourself more comfortable.”
She didn’t hold onto those outdated beliefs, as she only believed in one thing. “If you treat me well, I’ll treat you
well; if you treat me poorly, don’t expect me to show any mercy.”
Emotions were meant to be reciprocal, so why should one side endure the pain and accept moral constraints? And
why should the one who hurt others be exempt from moral condemnation just because they have no shame?
What kind of logic was that?
“Life may seem long, but it’s actually short. It’s most important to be good to yourself,” Abigail continued.
“I know. I will overcome this hurdle,” Lawrence said warmly as he looked at Abigail. “Thank you, Abby. I wouldn’t
have been able to hold on without you today.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Have you eaten yet?” Abigail’s voice softened.
“Not yet…” Lawrence replied. Their house was in a mess, and their long-time housekeeper had left today because
she couldn’t bear it anymore.
They came back from work to find an empty house with nothing prepared for dinner, and then Molly showed up
with a group of people who caused a scene.
Abigail looked at Sean.
“I’m a decent cook. If you and Mrs. Pearson don’t mind, I can show you what I can do,” Sean said as he rolled up his
sleeves.
“Forget it, we’ll just order takeout. You just arrived today, and you must be tired.” Lawrence shook his head.
“I’m not tired,” Sean immediately replied.
Today, Lawrence’s words made him feel guilty. He felt guilty toward Abigail, and he thought that no matter how
good he was to her now, it couldn’t make up for the past hurt.
“Let him give it a try,” she said with a smile. It was the first time she had shown such an expression at home.
Lawrence and Scarlett could only agree.

Abigail followed Sean into the kitchen and asked, “Are you okay? You look tired.”
“What’s the big deal about cooking a meal? You can go and sit outside.” Sean pushed her out of the kitchen.
“I can help, too,” Abigail said.
“I only remember your kitchen mishap. I don’t know if you can be of any help,” he said helplessly as he looked at
her.
Abigail felt a bit embarrassed when she thought about the time she accidentally knocked over a pot in the kitchen.
“Alright, then I’ll leave the kitchen to you.”
Sean nodded.
Abigail returned to the living room and saw Lawrence and Scarlett quietly wiping away their tears. She walked over
and handed them tissues.
The pain that parents bring to their children is only known by the children themselves.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLawrence took the tissues and looked at Abigail with embarrassment. “I made you witness a joke.”
“This is not a joke. No matter how old a person is, the bond between parents will never change. Which child doesn’t
want their parents to love them forever?” Abigail said gently.
When he heard this, Lawrence’s eyes became even redder.
Scarlett held him tightly. “It’s okay…
While they were talking, they heard the sound of plates breaking in the kitchen. Lawrence and Scarlett hurriedly
looked over.

“I’ll go check it out.” Abigail immediately turned and walked toward the kitchen.
Sean was already squatting on the floor as he picked up the broken pieces.
Abigail walked up to him and asked worriedly, “What happened?”
“I accidentally broke it,” he replied.
She had seen him cook many times, and he had never been like this before, so she frowned and looked at Sean.
“Let me help you.”
“It’s fine; you don’t have to worry about me,” Sean continued.
Abigail noticed that his face was a bit pale. She stopped talking and started picking up the pieces for him.
