CHAPTER 704 GROWING APART

Abigail didn't mean that, for sure.

"That's not it. By the way, have you had dinner?" Abigail glanced at the window, catching a glimpse of Luna's reflection.

Luna looked at her with curiosity.

"Yes." Sean responded like a machine, only answering when Abigail asked a question.

Suddenly, Abigail didn't know what to say. She bit her lip and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

He hummed in response, not attempting to keep her on the line.

After ending the call, Abigail stared at her phone, feeling lost.

She didn't understand why Sean had made this call. Abigail felt that she and Sean had argued before she came to Saraville.

"What's happening between you and Sean?" Luna couldn't help but ask.

"Every couple inevitably experiences conflicts," Abigail replied.

Luna hummed in response and remained silent. However, she seemed slightly preoccupied.

"It has nothing to do with you. Don't overthink it." Abigail put her arm around Luna's shoulder and smiled.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Abigail sat down and sent a message to Ronaldo. 'If you don't help me find someone, I'll ask someone else. Is that okay?'

Abigail didn't want to wait any longer. Luna's situation was straining her relationship with Sean, and she wanted to try to resolve it before things escalated.

'Whatever!' Ronaldo replied harshly.

Then, Abigail sent a message to Simond, asking him to investigate Martin. After sending the message, she tossed her phone aside.

"You can go back after dinner. I'll be fine." Luna smiled at Abigail.

"It's fine. I'll stay with you for a few days." Abigail smiled back.

Luna held her hand and said, "Even though it was painful when you weren't here, it's okay. I know being sick is painful. I'll listen to Susan."

"Luna, there are indeed some conflicts between Sean and me, but it's okay. If he has any problems, I'll be there for him. The same goes for you. If anything happens to you, I'll be here for you. We've always been the best of friends, haven't we?" Abigail held Luna's hand and looked at her gently.

Luna lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you."

"We are best friends. You don't have to thank me." Abigail squeezed her hand. "I've thought a lot about it this time. I feel like I abandoned you last time. So, no matter what, I won't leave this time."

"I thought you would find me annoying," Luna said softly.

"Why would I? I was worried that you would be angry. Luna, don't be upset if I said something harsh. Sometimes, I might be in a bad mood due to fatigue. Don't be angry, okay?" Abigail felt that this was a good opportunity to have a heart-to-heart conversation. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Luna nodded vigorously.

After dinner, the two of them left the restaurant. Abigail held Luna's hands as they strolled down the street.

"I plan to make you some beautiful clothes. What color do you like? I'll go buy the fabric." Abigail asked Luna.

"I'm interested in all colors. You know I love bright colors."

The two of them walked further and further away.

Meanwhile, Josh got out of the car and watched as the girls walked away. He frowned and wondered if he should tell Sean about this.

However, he could tell that Abigail had no intention of telling Sean about it.

Josh watched until the two of them disappeared from sight. Then, he returned to his car.

At the sight of Luna, his heart began to beat again.

So... She was in Saraville all along.

He had previously followed Abigail to Saraville. However, he had to go to a friend's house since he had lost track of her.

...

When Abigail and Luna returned home, Charles was already waiting at the door.

"Is this your fish?" Charles approached them, holding a fish with a straw rope piercing its mouth.

Abigail went over to take the fish and smiled. "Thank you, Mr. Horton."

"I told you to call me Charles. There's no need to be formal. I didn't catch a boneless fish, but I removed the bones for you." Charles waved his hand generously as he spoke.

"Thank you!" Abigail quickly responded.

Charles waved his hand again.

Abigail took the fish home and handed it to Susan. "Charles is a nice guy," she whispered.

Luna hummed in agreement as she tossed her bag on the couch. "I'm going to take a shower. You should too. We can watch a movie later!"

Abigail felt much more relaxed, as Luna's good mood rubbed off on her.

"Susan, grill this fish and prepare more dishes, like sliced meat and squid. We'll be watching a movie later," Abigail instructed Susan.
