Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 27

Abigail called Luna and asked if she wanted to leave together.

Yet, it seemed that Luna was busy with something as her voice was slightly

mu ffled. “Okay, you go ahead first. I’ll head back in a while… Hey, stop it! You’re

making me shy!”

When Abigail heard that, she was speechless for a moment. She knew that

Luna must have laid her eyes on some hot guy and could not step away.

Luna was perfect in every way, save for being perpetually infatuated with

anyone good-looking. It was a habit she couldn’t change.

Abigail said helplessly, “In that case, I’ll be heading back first. I’ll leave the

driver with you.”

“Okay.” Luna hung up the phone eagerly.

Only then did Abigail leave with ease.

The next morning, she dressed up nicely and went to Graham International,

Sean must’ve arranged things beforehand; she only needed to mention her

name before someone led her to the top floor.

“Mr. Graham is waiting for you in his office. You may go in.” The person

knocked on the door for her and left.

When Abigail pushed the door open, she saw Sean still dressed in the clothes

from last night’s banquet, and he was sitting at the computer while reading a

document. The moment he looked up and saw her, his eyebrows lifted

slightly to express his surprise.

After being married for three years, it was her first time visiting Graham

International to see him.

She only glanced at him briefly and averted her gaze, placing the divorce

agreement she had prepared in her bag on the table. “Sign this first.”

Sean’s face instantly turned cold. “Did you come here just for this?” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Hearing that, Abigail looked puzzled. “What else? I was afraid you’d be too

busy to take care of this, so I came in person. I have to go to work later, so

please hurry.” He had already arranged everything with his people outside,

which can only mean that he was prepared for this, right?

With pursed lips, Sean looked at the document on the table. Then, he picked

up a pen and quickly flipped to the page where his signature was required,

signing his name without even looking through the document.

Abigail watched as he signed the papers, but before he could complete his

signature, his phone rang.

“Don’t answer it. Just sign the documents first.” Seeing him about to put down

the pen and answer the call, she held his hand. “It’ll only take a few seconds.”

After taking a glance at her, he hung up the phone and proceeded to sign his

name.

She then handed him the other copy. As she looked at his signature on the

divorce agreement, it was as if she were cradling something precious. She

looked at it several times, ensuring everything was correct before finally

putting it in her bag.

As for Sean’s copy, he simply put it in the drawer.

“Let’s go.” Abigail checked the time. “The rush hour is over. We can make it to

the City Hall in half an hour to get the certificate.”

He wanted to say something, but when he saw the hint of expectation in her

eyes, he suddenly felt that saying anything was meaningless at this point.

This was the day she had been looking forward to, and any extra words

would make it seem like he couldn’t let her go. He would never allow such

doubts to appear in his life. In the end, he got up with a cold face, picked up

his coat and car keys, then walked straight out.

Divorce was a matter of significance, so he didn’t get the driver and drove

himself.

Abigail headed to the backseat right away, but Sean wouldn’t allow that to

happen. He immediately grabbed the back of her collar and pushed her into

the passenger seat.

“What’s wrong with you?!” She struggled while slapping his hand away.

Hearing her say that it hurt, he let go of his hand. “Do you think I’m your

driver?”

He tugged at his tie, feeling irritated. When she turned around, she saw a rare

touch of annoyance on his face, and she pursed her lips at that.

He doesn’t even want to pretend anymore. Without speaking, she obediently

got into the passenger seat and fastened her seatbelt before looking out of

the window.

The City Hall was in the same direction as their home, so the scenery along

the way was very familiar. Yet, thinking that this would be their last ride

together, Abigail felt a trace of sadness seep through. She thought she was

men tally prepared, but it felt like something was slowly being stripped away.

She remained still, letting that feeling spread. In her mind, she thought, Right,

even raising a dog for three years would form an emotional attachment.

Over these three years, I’ve invested my youth and effort, but it all seems to

be meaningless. Now, the moment of liberation has finally arrived, but

strangely, I don’t feel all that happy about it.

The two of them remained silent throughout the journey. Once they arrived at

the City Hall, Sean got out of the car first and lit a cigarette.

Abigail took a deep breath and was about to open the car door to get out

when her phone in her pocket started vibrating. Her hand, which was holding

onto the door handle, hesitated for a moment. Upon seeing the caller ID, she

closed the car door once again and quickly answered the phone.

“Grandma?”

From the other end came Ana lise’s cautious voice. “Abigail, where is your

house again?”

Suddenly, someone could be heard scolding Ana lise impatiently in the

background. “Lady, do you want to go or not? My car is still vacant. If you’re

Chapter 27 Divorce

not going anywhere, then get out!”

Ana lise’s voice was mu ffled. “Okay, okay. Let me ask where my

granddaughter’s house is.”

“If you’re dem ented, then don’t come out wandering around! Do you even

have money to pay the fare? Get out!”

When Abigail heard that, her heart ached, and she hurriedly pushed open the

car door and jumped out. “Grandma, where are you?”
