Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail and Sean)
Chapter 349

Chapter 349 Change of Mind

Josh found Kelly's idea appealing, but convincing Sean was no easy task. To some extent, Abigail and Sean shared similar personalities. Once they had formed an opinion about something, they were not quick to change their minds.

"You're oversimplifying things. Sean won't easily dispel his misunderstanding toward you with what Uncle Vincent has done to him. Instead of reaching out to Sean, you might be better off talking to Abigail directly," Josh suggested as he tenderly stroked Kelly's hair. Observing the great effort she had put into resolving the misunderstandings between her and Abigail, he couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt. Kelly's inherent self-consciousness drove her to seek the approval of others, and she would go to great lengths to change someone's negative opinion of her. He had often considered advising her against such behavior but hesitated, fearing it would damage her self-esteem.

"But Abigail doesn't like me. The more I try to approach her, the angrier she'll get. Josh, you and her are still friends. Can you talk to her about it? I'll stay by Old Mrs. Graham's side. What if it works?" She looked at him with hopeful eyes.

He furrowed his brows. "Do you genuinely want to be friends with Abigail, Kelly?"

"I know you care a lot about your relationship with Abigail, Josh. It's because of me that things. have become strained between you two," she admitted, her voice filled with guilt.

At that moment, Josh found himself at a loss for words, witnessing how Kelly consistently prioritized the feelings of others.

"Just trust me for once." She gently shook her brother's hand.

Looking at her, Josh sighed and said, "Alright, but be cautious. Before you earn Sean's favor, think carefully about what you say." Even though he knew that Sean wasn't easy to talk to and was ruthless, Josh also knew his personality; as long as one didn't step on his boundaries, he wouldn't hurt anyone.

"Okay!" Kelly nodded. As soon as she lowered her gaze, a glint of triumph flashed across her eyes.

When Abigail and Luna came out of the studio, they saw Josh standing not far away.

"He has been waiting all afternoon, and he doesn't even say what he wants. He just stands there," Cameron whispered to Abigail.

Abigail thought, How smart of him. After all, by not disclosing the reason for his visit, Josh left Cameron with no grounds to kick him out.

"He's definitely here because of Kelly again," Luna said in a hushed voice.

As Abigail descended the steps, Josh approached her and uttered, "I'd like to have a serious conversation with you."

Abigail responded, "If it's about Kelly, you can just forget it." She maintained her belief that maintaining distance from them would lead to a peaceful life, even though events rarely unfolded as planned. When Josh stopped her, Cameron immediately stepped in, positioning himself protectively in front of her. With a stern expression, he warned, "Mr. Pearson, please don't get me started."

Josh looked at Abigail and said, "I promise this will be the last time. After today, I won't bother you.

anymore."

Luna grew annoyed, expressing, "Mr. Pearson, do you realize you're causing trouble for others? Business should be based on mutual agreement. How dare your family force Abigail to design a set of clothes for Kelly when she had already refused?"

He responded, "It's not about the clothes."

Luna retorted, "Who cares what it's about? Can't you see that you're causing problems for Abigail right now?" She then attempted to pull Abigail away, intending to leave.

However, Abigail grasped Luna's hand and turned her attention to him. "Can you guarantee that after talking to me this time, your family won't bother me again?” she inquired.

After hearing that, he felt somewhat uncomfortable. He nodded gently and offered an apology in a low voice, saying, "I'm sorry."

"Let's talk then. Do you want it to be a one-on-one conversation, or can Luna join too?" In the end, Abigail was still a soft-hearted person. Although she certainly disliked Kelly, her first impression of Josh was nice. Thus, she didn't want things to get ugly between them. Moreover, perhaps she was also influenced by Sean's reminder.

Half an hour later, Abigail and Josh sat in a restaurant. She didn't order anything and asked him coldly, "So, what do you want to talk about?" To be honest, she had a hunch that it would be about Kelly.

He explained, "Kelly went to visit Old Mrs. Graham to clear up the misunderstanding. She did everything to please her, hoping that Sean would put in good words in front of you. After all, he was the one who uncovered the truth. She believes that if he vouches for her innocence, you won't harbor ill feelings towards her."

She couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this. After a moment, she nodded and inquired, "Anything else?"

Abigail admitted that Kelly was skilled at lying and undeniably clever. In Josh's presence, Kelly had the knack of using her misunderstanding as a convenient excuse. As long as there was no concrete evidence linking her to Vincent's actions, she could continue playing the innocent card.

Abigail found it the first time she had encountered such a shameless woman.

"I don't want Kelly to come into contact with the Graham Family. I can assure you there's indeed. no connection between what happened to Uncle Vincent and her. I've checked it many times. When we found her, she was living with her adopted family, and she was leading a cautious and sensitive life. She's genuinely hurt that you harbor negative feelings toward her," Josh spoke

sincerely, locking eyes with Abigail.
