CHAPTER 722 WANTING TO DEVOUR HER

Sean was completely captivated by Abigail, and his heart was sent into disarray.

"I miss you, honey," he said in a low, husky voice, his eyes devouring her.

Abigail turned on the shower and looked back at Sean, raising an eyebrow. "What?"

"I miss you," he repeated.

Through the misty air, Abigail's face looked especially gentle.

"I've only been gone for two days." She stood under the shower, her face dripping with water droplets.

Sean gazed at her and said, "Yes, I miss you for every minute and every second you're away."

"Stop being cheesy," Abigail chided, but she felt pleased inside.

After she finished showering, Sean ended the video call. Lying in bed, Abigail messaged him, asking about Simond's plans for tomorrow, and Sean quickly replied to her message.

'I talked to Martin yesterday. He refused to communicate with me unless you came in person.'

At the end of the day, she probably had to get Alice's approval.

'Okay, I'll come tomorrow, but I'm planning to bring someone with me. Is that okay on your end?'

'Who?'

'Sean's brother, Kevin. I have no choice. Sean would get worried if I don't bring him along.'

'...'

Abigail fell into silence as she read Simond's message.

'What's wrong?'

'Nothing. Do what you want.'

She stared at the message for a while before continuing to type.

'I'm sorry for getting angry at you last time.'

Abigail was referring to the day Luna had a depressive episode. holds © this.

'I'm a pretty gracious person, so don't think of me as someone petty. Next time, just let me know in advance if you're bringing someone new instead of telling me after they've arrived.'

'Oh, but I still have my own opinion of things.'

Abigail felt that Simond was completely in control of everything and only wanted her to do as he said, but it wasn't just about him; they both had their own purposes.

Once she sent the information over, Simond called her, and she pressed the answer button.

"I'm not saying you can't make your own judgments, but the premise is that this is a plan between the two of us. If you bring in one more person, there will be more danger," he said.

Of course, Abigail knew that he was right as well.

"What you said makes sense," she agreed. However, Kevin had already arrived, and after some consideration, she figured that it might not be a bad idea if there was someone she could trust to help with the work.

"So?" Simond felt like she hadn't finished her sentence.

"So... Kevin will still come with us. He is Sean's best friend, and if something goes wrong and we leave him alone here, I won't be able to explain myself when I go back," Abigail continued, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Simond silently took a breath. "He's a grown man, what could go wrong? Besides, he has traveled to Europe more times in a year than the time you and Sean have been in a relationship. Are you worried about him?"

"The situation is different, and it's something you can't generalize. Don't you understand?" Abigail rebuked angrily.

"Fine... I don't understand." Simond felt speechless.

Abigail cleared her throat. "Then I'll bring him along tomorrow."

"Up to you. Either way, it depends on Martin whether you can meet him or not," Simond said before he hung up the phone.

Abigail threw her phone aside and yawned tiredly. Then, she fell asleep.

Early in the morning, Abigail finished tidying up and left her room.

Kevin had already bought breakfast for her. "There are only some hamburgers and coffee here. You're going to have to make do," he said.

Abigail nodded and took a bite of her hamburger as she informed him, "I'm meeting someone today. You can come with me, but whether you'll get to meet him depends on him."

"Is this person important?" Kevin asked.

"Yes." She nodded. She was currently torn between one thing—Luna's child was still in Eastbay.

Although Ronaldo Fernandez didn't care about finding a doctor, Larry had always been concerned. After all, he may act tough, but he had a soft heart.

As they exited the hotel, Abigail and Kevin saw Simond's car parked in front of them. Abigail opened the car door and got in, while Kevin hesitated for a moment before joining her.

In the front seat, Simond glanced at him before starting the car.

Kevin naturally struck up a conversation with him, "You're the young master of the Simpson Family, right? I heard you had to come back to the country after not being able to go abroad."

"Can't you keep quiet?" Abigail berated Kevin inwardly for making more trouble for her as soon as he opened his mouth.

However, Simond didn't pay much attention to Kevin's words. His attention was on the road as he said, "We'll be arriving at the John Biological Research Lab soon. I informed Martin in advance, and he said he'll wait for you."

"Meeting at the research lab?" Abigail was somewhat surprised.

The first time they met, she thought he would choose to meet at a restaurant due to the confidentiality of their work.

"Yeah." Simond's face turned serious. "I heard that Martin has a peculiar temper, and... He's different from the people you know. He's already remarried and has a son."

Upon hearing this, Abigail simply acknowledged the information. She wasn't sure whether Alice had ever considered Martin as a potential partner.
