Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail and Sean)
Chapter 788 Who Is Interested in My Daughter?

Abigail put away her phone and gazed out the window for a long time. She whispered, "I took a life."

Josh slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a sudden stop, then quickly hit the gas pedal again. "Killed... someone?"

They could never imagine such a thing happening in their lifetime.

Abigail nodded. "I had no other choice. If I didn't act, I couldn't leave and couldn't come back."

The situation was different abroad than in Eswadia, and she found herself in a place with armed forces. It was a matter of kill or be killed.

Josh's expression softened with sympathy. "Did you feel... scared?"

"At first, I felt guilty and scared, but... gradually, I came to terms with it." Abigail furrowed her brow and explained that living abroad had taught her to accept things slowly.

"Anyway, nothing will happen. The people you got rid of must have been bad." Josh comforted her.

"They were bad people and had harmed many innocent individuals, including chefs and cleaners in our community," Abigail said softly as she recalled the bodies left unattended and scattered everywhere when they departed.

"What about Simond? Did that b*stard die?" Josh's anger flared at the mention of him. Without Simond, Sean and Abigail would not have reached the point of breaking up.

"I don't know. Let's not dwell on him." Abigail felt a surge of irritation whenever Simond's name was brought up.

She loathed Simond, yet she couldn't help but blame herself for falling for his deception.

Still, she couldn't deny that without his help, she would never have found Martin. Her feelings toward him were tangled, so much so that just mentioning him annoyed her. Josh decided not to press further and remained silent.

Upon arriving home.

The moment Abigail stepped through the door, she was enveloped in tight embraces from both Lawrence and Scarlett.

They held onto her as if afraid she might disappear.

Feeling a bit suffocated from their embraces, Abigail managed to utter, "Ease up, please."

Lawrence loosened his grip, but Scarlett held on to her tightly and gently caressed her for a moment to assure herself that she was indeed real before reluctantly letting go. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, "You're finally back... That's all that matters..."

Abigail nodded and gently touched Scarlett's cheek. "Yes, I'm back for good now. I won't leave again."

"That's wonderful!" Scarlett exclaimed and pulled her into another embrace.

Lawrence gently nudged Scarlett forward. "You go ahead first. Guests are waiting at the door, so we can't keep them waiting."

Josh entered carrying the sleeping Larry, and Lawrence's eyes widened. "Whose child is this?"

"Mine," Abigail, who was walking ahead, replied.

Lawrence was dumbfounded. He looked at Abigail, then at Josh with the baby, struggling to comprehend.

Whose child? Abigail's child? But who is the father? Who dares to cause trouble to my family?

Lawrence felt like he was losing his mind. Upon seeing Martin enter with Andrew, he immediately scrutinized Andrew. "Are you the child's father?"

Andrew was taken aback and shook his head repeatedly. "No, I'm not."

Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Martin, feeling it was unlikely.

He turned and hurried to Abigail's side. "Who is the child's father?"

"I don't know either. Let's do a DNA test first and see if we can match it with the gene bank," Abigail replied.

Lawrence's heart sank, and his face turned pale. "You don't even know who the child's father is?"

"The child is already this big, so how could it be hers? Are you stupid?" Scarlett couldn't stand it anymore. She thought men were clueless sometimes and explained that it took ten months for a child to be born and now the child looked about a year old, which meant it was conceived two years ago.

Two years ago, Abigail was still at home.

After calculating the time, Lawrence also realized that. He felt relieved and said, "I thought there was some new thief interested in my daughter."

Abigail couldn't help but laugh. "What new thief? Are you saying Sean is an ex-thief?"

"He is indeed an ex-thief, ditching you after taking you for a ride... Forget about him." Lawrence didn't want Abigail to feel sad, so he quickly changed the subject. "Go eat, take a shower, and go to bed. Or do you want to take a shower, eat, then sleep?"

"I'll take a shower first. Oh, and prepare a guest room for them." Abigail said as she turned to ascend the stairs.

Andrew looked at the large TV in the living room and felt a bit tempted.

Martin gently nudged him. "Let's go to our room first."

"Do you want to watch?" Josh asked Andrew.

Andrew nodded. "Can I watch for a while before going to my room?"

"Sure." Josh turned on the TV, showed him how to use it, and then escorted Martin upstairs.

Andrew found that Abigail's family was indeed wealthy. Even the TV had a membership, and it was in 4K Ultra HD. Back when he was abroad, some TVs didn't have such high definition, and there weren't many resources either.

After browsing through several shows, his eyes grew tired. Eventually, he decided to watch an animated movie.

Although he hadn't watched many of these, the ones he had seen had intriguing plots and depicted an exciting martial arts world.

He watched eagerly and was fully engrossed in the screen.

Scarlett felt like he might not be very smart, but she didn't dare to ask anything. She just prepared some fruits, desserts, and snacks for him.

"Have some snacks first," she looked at him and intentionally spoke softly.

"Thank you." He flashed her a warm smile.

Scarlett found him quite polite, and she felt a growing fondness for him.
