I Want a Divorce (Abigail and Sean)

Chapter 188

hapter 188 Declining Calls

Abigail sent a message to Eric. Thank you so much. Your suggestion was fantastic. I did find a

treasure.

She thought that Lexie would definitely love this belt. Not only was its design unique, but its fragrance

was also one of a kind.

“What treasure?’ he quickly replied.

However, she didn’t tell him the details. Instead, she chose to keep the cards close to her heart. “You’ll

find out when Lexie walks the red carpet.

‘Well, I have to wait a while for that. Still, consider me hooked.”

She felt increasingly grateful as she read the text. Then, she eventually decided to respond. I’ll treat

you to a meal once you’re free.

After she sent this message, she realized that she hadn’t talked to Anthony in a while and owed him a

meal as well. So, she switched to Anthony’s chat and immediately sent him a message. “What are you

up to? Why haven’t you contacted me? Do I always have to do the heavy lifting. between us?”

He replied to her message within a minute. You’re a busy person now. I heard you’re secretly designing

a red carpet gown for Lexie. I didn’t want to disturb you. Where are you now?

When she read his message, she felt touched by the concern of her friends and smiled faintly. I’m

working on some embroidery in Ouisford. However, I want to send some gifts to a few friends. Send me

your address.

He seemed surprised. ‘It’s not my birthday. Why are you sending me gifts? Oh, I’m not the only one.

Who else is receiving your gifts?”

“Do you want it or not? If yes, then send me your address. Of course, she wouldn’t spill just who was

on her friend list.

She had a smile on her face as she sent the text and went into the bathroom to wash her face. When

she looked at herself in the mirror, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

She stared at herself in the mirror and suddenly remembered why the shop owner had seemed familiar

to her today. It was because she bore a striking resemblance to him.

When she came to this realization, she was beyond stunned.

It was only when a message came through on WhatsApp that she lowered her head and replied to

Anthony. Then, she promptly switched to Eric’s chat.

Eric hadn’t replied to her text yet, so she briefly explained to him about her intention to send a gift and

asked for his address.

He promptly replied with an address and then asked, ‘Why are you sending gifts all of a sudden?”

To thank you. Also, I have a question for you. Are you familiar with the owner of that tea house?’

‘Not particularly. Why?’

From his words, she couldn’t discern whether his inquiry was genuine or feigned. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“The shop owner looks a lot like me. Didn’t you notice?’

She then noticed that Eric was typing continuously, but no message came through.

As she looked at herself in the mirror again, she reflected on Eric’s unusual behavior since they had

first met. He has been quite kind to me, but what lies behind his kindness? She ran her fingers through

her hair, feeling a bit frustrated.

When she emerged from the bathroom, Eric had finally replied to her message. Fine, you got me. I did

recommend that place because I found the resemblance uncanny. It doesn’t help the fact that you once

mentioned that you only have your grandparents. So, it made me want to inquire about your parents.

‘Did the shop owner lose a child?” She would be rather foolish if she failed to understand the

implications behind his words. I’m sorry. I’m definitely not his child. My grandparents told me that I’m

their biological granddaughter, and I believe they wouldn’t lie to me without a good reason. Maybe

there’s something they find difficult to talk about, which is why they haven’t said anything about my

parents. Regardless, I have complete faith in them.

Eric felt particularly dejected upon receiving her message. He had initially wanted to ask her more

questions, but her response had extinguished his desire to do so.

Abigail didn’t have any interest in prying into other people’s family matters. So, she decided to change

the topic by mentioning that she would send him the gift.

‘Aren’t you curious about how that child went missing?’ He persisted.

‘It’s none of my business. Besides, it’s inevitable for people to look alike sometimes. If you post his

picture on your social media, you’ll find that countless others resemble him.

‘Okay.

After their conversation concluded, she pushed the matter aside. I certainly wouldn’t doubt the words of

Grandpa and Grandma. Plus, I remember my early childhood memories very well. How could I possibly

be an abandoned child? Grandpa and Grandma have always treated me well, and I’ve never lacked

familial love. Thus, I have never once felt envious of others for having parents.

During dinner, Sean’s phone calls started coming in.

Abigail chose to ignore him as she recalled that he had reconciled with Joan.

Sean called her repeatedly, but she didn’t answer any of his calls.

Shortly afterward, he sent her a message on WhatsApp. Answer the phone. There’s something

important I need to tell you!’

She didn’t fall for his tactics and didn’t open his WhatsApp message either.

Since he failed to reach her, he sent another message. If you don’t want me to show up at your door

tomorrow morning, answer the phone!!

She glanced at the message but didn’t bother to respond.

Luna called her within a few minutes.

The moment she pressed the answer button, she heard Luna’s displeasure ringing out on the other end

of the line, complaining angrily. That jerk Sean can’t reach you. So, he asked me to call you! Did you

two have another fight?”
