Chapter 576 Don't Be A Fool For Love!

Startled, Cameron stammered, "O-Okay."

After hanging up, Abigail turned to the sobbing Isla and handed her a tissue. Taking it, Isla sniffled and whimpered without saying a word.

Analise had prepared some snacks for Isla and gazed at her adoringly. "That kid has never been in love before and says things without thinking because he's a straightforward man. Don't cry anymore." Abigail thought that Cameron didn't love Isla enough. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said those things.

Isla's eyes were bloodshot as tears continued to roll down her cheeks.

"I know that he doesn't love me. Maybe he just agreed to date me because I pursued him."

Gently, Abigail patted her shoulder. "In a relationship, when one person is too assertive, it can make the other person seem passive.

But you're already doing better than others by having the courage to pursue your love."

"But what's the point? He doesn't care about me at all," Isla sobbed between sniffles.

"Here, have something to eat. You can't force love to happen. Besides, he might be disheartened knowing that your parents oppose this relationship. I'm not asking you to convince your parents, but you can't be the only one trying to balance both sides," Analise said. "If you truly love him, I'll visit your parents on his behalf and talk to them."

"It's pointless because my parents are stubborn. After he left, they criticized him even more harshly, and if I didn't have classes to attend, they would have locked me up in the house." Tears welled up in Isla's eyes again. "They want to introduce me to their friends, but I don't like their sons at all."

Taking out another tissue, Abigail asked Analise to leave the room before speaking softly to Isla, "I was once deeply in love with someone and managed to marry him. In the end, things didn't turn out well, and I was oppressed and suffocated by his parents for three years."

With her bloodshot eyes, Isla stared at her. "But Cameron doesn't have parents."

"Given the circumstances, you need to be more cautious. Even though your parents are unreasonable, Cameron is right about one thing. Do you think your parents provided you with education and the best things in life just so that you would one day have a conflict with them over a man? A woman can live without a man, but who will help you when you're in trouble if you lose your parents? Will you rely on your friends?" Abigail said with a heavy heart, holding her hand.

No matter how Isla's parents reacted, Abigail couldn't criticize them harshly. After all, it was undeniable that Cameron came from a less privileged background, which was the main reason Isla's parents were against this relationship.

Isla, a big-city girl pursuing her postgraduate studies, stood in stark contrast to Cameron, who hadn't completed his education or established a career. This made her parents uneasy about entrusting their daughter to him. Just the thought that their daughter had fallen in love with such a person filled their hearts with disappointment.

How could they replace it in their hearts to accept him wholeheartedly?

She gradually calmed down.

"It's not a problem to pursue your love, and I guarantee that Cameron is a good man. However, your parents have sacrificed a lot to raise you. Instead of eloping with him, you should replace another way to communicate with your parents,' Abigail continued, reassuring her.

"What happened to you afterward?" Isla asked sadly.

"I got a divorce afterward. Right now, all you think about is love, but what will you do once you don't have it anymore in the future? Don't lose yourself in the pursuit of love. As you love him deeply, it's even more important for you to carefully consider how the both of you will maintain this relationship," Abigail added softly.

"I understand. I'll go home in a while.' Finally, she was convinced by Abigail, but the next second, shock washed over her. "Hey, you were married and divorced, but nobody knew about it!"

"That's my private matter. Are you going to spread it?" Abigail asked with a grin.

Isla pouted. "I'm not a gossip. Although I like your designs, I'm not obsessed." Abigail raised her eyebrows. "Then I have nothing to worry about."

After Isla composed herself, she picked up her purse and left. In this matter, Abigail didn't support Cameron; if he didn't value Isla's feelings when she offered them to him so sincerely, he should let her replace someone who loved her more. If he was already giving up because of such a small obstacle, he seemed like the type to leave without a word if Isla ever disagreed with him in the future.

In the evening, when Sean and Cameron returned, Cameron tried to avoid Abigail the moment he saw her. "Stop avoiding me. How did things go?" she asked coldly.

"We checked out the shop lot and plan to start working on it tomorrow, he answered immediately.

She nodded and chose not to lecture him about his relationship anymore. As someone who had made a mistake in love, the last thing she wanted was to see another girl make a wrong decision-such as eloping impulsively-because of a man.

The wrong choice she made was marrying Sean, and she didn't end up happily ever after. If true happiness were solely based on love at first sight, there wouldn't be so many divorced couples in the world. She couldn't help but empathize with Isla when she heard Cameron's earlier words.

"Are we eating out?" Sean asked Abigail.

"Sure." Rising from her seat, Abigail glanced at Cameron and casually said, "Go wherever you want, but Sean and J are going out alone."

Upon hearing that, Cameron knew that something was going on between them. He wondered if they had reconciled. His mind raced with various speculations. Meanwhile, Abigail had already left with Sean, sighing once they stepped outside.

"Why are you concerned about someone else's relationship? Don't worry about him. If, like me, he regrets it after she's gone, then I won't spare him the sarcasm,' Sean said with a laugh, putting his arm around Abigail.

Chapter 577 Look After Our Home Abigail gave Sean a cold look. "That's like the pot calling the kettle black. Neither of you wins."

Sean nodded. "You're right, but I've changed my ways."

"Let's go. Ignore that brat." Abigail felt annoyed just at the mention of Cameron. She couldn't help but grumble, "That brat had an amazing woman who was willing to love him, yet he refused to accept her. Any other man would be thrilled to be in such a situation."

The two of them entered the restaurant. While Abigail placed their order, Sean messaged Cameron.

'You should really think this through. Abigail and Analise want you to have someone by your side in the future. That's why they said all that. Don't abandon Isla just because of what her parents said: 'It's not easy to replace someone who truly loves you.

At least, in Sean's eyes, Cameron's relationship with Isla had a great start. Isla didn't hate or dislike him, so what was Cameron unsatisfied with?

Cameron quickly replied.

'T know. I'll think about it.

Cameron felt conflicted. Unlike Sean, who was happily married and deeply in love with Abigail, Cameron had never experienced romantic dreams. If he could muster the same intense love and passion for Isla, he might put in the effort to make things work.

However, the challenge lay in the fact that he only held a mild liking for her. He found it difficult to completely change his life for someone he only somewhat cared about.

When Sean finished messaging Cameron, Abigail had finished ordering. She handed him the menu. "What do you want?"

"How much food did you order?" he asked, taking the menu.

"Three dishes," she answered.

Sean flipped through the menu. "Let's just order some drinks. It's only the two of us. We can't eat that much anyway."

"How do you know that?" Abigail asked, resting her arm on the table.

"I went with you on the trip to the village. Back then, I noticed that you don't eat a lot." As he recalled that time, he subconsciously softened his gaze. "Every time I cooked three dishes, you could never finish the food. You always had a lot of leftovers that I had to eat for you."

Embarrassed, she hadn't realized how attentive he had been.

"Okay." Abigail gave up on the menu.

As long as they could finish everything, it was fine.

Sean then ordered a passionfruit drink.

While they ate, Abigail told him about her upcoming out-of-state meeting.

There were many trade shows and meetings in the fashion industry.

Fairy Meadow and L.Moon were both invited this time. In order to attract more customers for Fairy Meadow, she had no choice but to make the trip. The trade show would be open to vendors worldwide.

If Fairy Meadow could gain a few international clients, it would be a testament to the brand's quality.

"Should I come with you?" Sean asked.

Abigail glanced at him. "You don't know anything. Are you going just to look good?"

"I don't want you to attend that kind of event with another man. Is that not okay?" he asked bluntly.

She hummed in response.

"Can I come?" he persisted.

"No way. You have to look after our home. Why do you want to come along?" Abigail adamantly replied.

Sean grinned when he heard her say the word "home" and asked, "Which home? What home?"

Without hesitation, she replied, "Where else? If you're fishing for an answer, forget it."

He couldn't help but sigh. "Alright. You'll be busy with work while I look after our home."

Her main concern was actually Analise. If they both went, Analise would be alone in Capitalis. Abigail would worry less if Sean stayed in Capitalis as well.

After they finished their meal, they sat and chatted lazily.

"This is what dating feels like," he blurted out, observing the whispering couples at the surrounding tables.

"Are we dating?" Abigail calmly asked.

Sean chuckled softly. "Aren't we?" He hadn't known she liked to hide her sweet personality behind a proud facade.

She didn't reply and turned her gaze elsewhere, lost in thought.

Sean followed Abigail's gaze and saw Josh and Luna kissing. He cleared his throat and looked away. "What a coincidence."

Feeling somewhat awkward, Abigail softly asked, "Should we leave?"

"Let's go," he said, standing up.

She grabbed her jacket.

As they left the restaurant, he couldn't help but comment, "Josh always seems so proper. I never thought he would kiss Luna in public."

Thankfully, it was just a brief kiss.

"Maybe he's good at hiding his flirting,' she said.

They walked along the road in silence. At one point, Sean delicately reached for Abigail's hand. She withdrew hers. However, shortly after, he grasped her hand again. This time, his hold was firmer and more secure, as if he feared she might pull away once more.

"What are you doing?" She shot him an angry look.

"I want to hold your hand," he gently replied.

Their wedding had been rushed, and there was a lack of affection between them. Apart from their intimate moments, they were essentially strangers. Sean was eager to make up for the lost time.

Touched by his gesture, Abigail pursed her lips and kept her gaze fixed ahead. She didn't pull away again.

"As long as you're happy, we can take it slow. I'm fine with just dating for a year or two,' Sean said as they walked.
