Chapter 179 Unexpected Encounter

Sean lay down and fell asleep in no time.

Analise brought out a blanket from the house and covered him with it. He looked at the worry in his eyes, and she sighed softly.

She had no idea what had happened between the two of them.

After she returned to the kitchen, she scooped up the dumplings and called Abigail on WhatsApp.

Soon, the call was connected.

Analise looked at Abigail with a face full of affection and asked, "How's work been lately?"

She Had a feeling that this call was related to Sean.

Abigail bit her lip and asked Analise. "It's been okay. What's going on?"

"You haven't come back for a long time, and I miss you. During the New Year, from the first day to the third day, it was Sean who was afraid I'd be lonely, so he came to keep me company," Analise said with a gentle voice.

She sat in the kitchen and glanced at Sean, who was resting in the corridor.

Analise was still anxious about Sean.

Maybe he hadn't been feeling comfortable at home, so he had come to her for some comfort and food.

When Abigail heard what Analise said, she was a bit surprised. After a moment of silence, she asked in a soft voice, "He spent three days with you during the New Year?" "Yes," Analise replied with a smile.

Abigail felt a bit complicated after hearing Analise's words. She chatted with Analise for a while. before hanging up as she was busy.

Abigail's thoughts were in disarray as she sat in the office.

Sean had never mentioned this matter to her.

He could have used this to his advantage and taken credit for it, so why didn't he say anything?

Around noon, Abigail returned to the countryside.

Sean was in the yard picking vegetables with Analise. He squatted on the ground and carefully

pinched the tender white cabbage hearts at the end of February.

Abigail stood outside the fence and looked at him. Her face was full of disbelief.

He isn't at work?

She had just decided to come back and visit her grandmother, and she didn't expect to encounter Sean.

"Abigail." Analise turned around, and when she saw Abigail, her face lit up with joy before she dropped the basket she was holding.

Sean also looked up at Abigail.

It had been so long since Analise had seen Abigail. She rushed out of the yard, held Abigail's hands, and sized her up. Her eyes were filled with tears. "How long has it been since you came back? You didn't even come back for the New Year!"

Her complaints made Abigail truly realize what longing meant.

It turned out that videos and phone calls couldn't relieve someone's longing for another person.

Abigail hugged Analise. "I won't be so busy in the future, Grandma.”

"I didn't mean to blame you for being busy..." Analise let go of Abigail, her eyes red.

Abigail looked at her with a sense of guilt. "I should consider your feelings more."

"It's all right... Did you have lunch?" Analise held her hand and led her into the yard.

Sean was still picking vegetables and occasionally looking at Abigail.

Abigail and Sean joined Analise in preparing the vegetables.

"You're not at work today. Did you come here to relax in the countryside?" Abigail asked Sean after Analise prompted her several times.

"I wasn't in the mood. I came to see Grandma, and being with her makes me feel better, Sean replied.

She hadn't even noticed that Sean had such a good relationship with Analise.

In the past, Analise used to call him 'Sean.

His answer made Abigail smile, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is my Grandma a lucky charm? Does being with her make you happy?" "Because it's relaxing here," Sean replied seriously.

Analise's eyes sparkled with joy. "You can come here more often. It'll be lively in the summer."

Sean's memories of this place are already quite distant. After all, he came here when he was very

young.

"All right," he replied with a smile.

Afterward, the two of them helped Analise prepare lunch.

Abigail felt that the conflict between her and Sean seemed to have been diluted due to this unexpected interaction.

After lunch, Analise went to take a nap.

Abigail and Sean sat in the corridor. She reviewed some materials with a tablet in her hand while Sean Jay on a lounger and looked at her. "Can we talk about the trending topics?" Sean asked Abigail.

Abigail replied, "Sure."

"I admit that our relationship has caused you to be constantly embroiled in controversies. You've indeed been deeply affected," he said to her slowly. Abigail pursed her lips but didn't respond.

If it were in the past, she would probably have thought about going through hardships together

with Sean.

When the incident happened yesterday, she was angry at first, thinking it was the result of Sean repeatedly not heeding her advice.

Now, she realized that she had gradually grown impatient with the man she had once loved deeply.

"Your attitude yesterday made me realize that you probably won't want to announce our relationship anymore," Sean continued.

"It's good that you understand," she replied calmly.

He looked at her profile for a while before saying, "So, it was already predetermined from the very beginning."

Since they got married, all the rules he had set had become punishments for him.

"I used to think I could change you, but it turned out that if you don't like it, you just don't like it," Abigail said candidly.

Sean's eyes had a deep and thoughtful look. "How can you say that I don't like you?"

"If it's necessary to involve Joan in between us, I think It's better not to then," Abigail said with a faint smile.
