Abigail’s Second Life (Abigail Quinn)

Chapter 720 Love Should Have Boundaries

Back at L.Moon, Sean messaged Xavien.

'Investigate everything about Evelyn, including her experiences in the country over the years and her previous abduction abroad. We need to uncover the truth.'

He was skeptical of anyone who approached him suddenly, despite Evelyn's seemingly genuine story and her pitiful ordeal. The adversaries they faced were too cunning, so he had to proceed with caution at every step. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Abigail noticed his troubled expression as he entered the office and immediately rose to her feet. "What's wrong? Did something go wrong with your errand?"

Sean walked up to her and held her hand. "No matter who comes to you with information about the person who harmed Luna, don't believe them. Our surroundings are not as safe as they appear. When it comes to such a large sum of money, even a small mistake can cost you your life."

In the pursuit of personal interests, human lives became incredibly cheap.

"Has someone deceived you?" Abigail became instantly alert.

"Do you think I would be deceived? I'm just worried about you and your family." Sean was genuinely concerned for her. Luna was already gone, and being careless like this could put Abigail in danger, too.

Abigail hugged him. "I understand, but I have to go abroad in a few days for a design competition."

Sean held her shoulders and straightened her back. "Do you really have to go?"

"Well, L.Moon is my and Luna's brainchild, and no matter what, the studio must continue to thrive. Without her, I will ensure that the studio becomes even better than before." Abigail lowered her

gaze, feeling guilty.

This time, she was going abroad with Simond to find Martin. Coincidentally, there was a design competition taking place there, so she only needed to submit a piece of work, and the remaining time would be spent negotiating with Martin.

"Alright. Take care of yourself, and I'll arrange for Cameron to accompany you." Sean immediately began making arrangements.

Abigail looked up at him and blinked. "Oh... that might not be a good idea. After all, Cameron has a girlfriend. Let him go with someone who is single."

Sean nodded, remaining silent for a moment before saying, "Then I'll have Kevin go with you."

"Kevin?" Abigail was a little surprised as she hadn't heard his name in a long time.

"He hasn't been very busy these past two years, and he's often traveling abroad. He could be helpful to you," Sean reassured her, squeezing her shoulder.

Abigail nodded, not wanting to make Sean suspicious by disagreeing.

"Alright, I'll give him a call. When are you planning to go?" Sean turned and sat down at his desk, which used to belong to Luna but was replaced after she left.

"Maybe in a week," Abigail said.

If it weren't for the competition, she would have made her trip in the next few days.

On the day Abigail set off, Simond had already snuck off a day earlier to make arrangements.

She boarded the plane with Kevin and put on an eye mask, intending to sleep.

Kevin had learned about Luna's passing a few days ago, and he had been trying to process it ever since. Finally, when he had the chance to meet Abigail, it felt like a dream.

Sitting beside her, he watched as the plane slowly took off and couldn't help but ask, "So, you really went there to participate in the competition?"

"What's the matter? Are you trying to test me on behalf of Sean?" Abigail took off her eye mask and glanced at Kevin sideways.

Leaning back in his seat, Kevin looked at the sunlight outside and spoke slowly, "Abigail, when I called you before, I always suspected that something was going on between you and Luna. Do you think Sean doesn't know? Sean values his relationship with you, which is why he hasn't secretly investigated you."

Abigail pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Sean truly values the bond between the two of you. You've been divorced before, and we can't comprehend how much pain he felt from losing you, but he definitely feels uneasy whenever he thinks about it. That's why he is cautious and considerate in your relationship. But is everything truly fine between you two?" Kevin doubted that Abigail had simply gone to participate in the competition.

Sean probably didn't believe it either, but she wanted to keep it a secret, and Sean didn't inquire further.

"Kevin... There are certain things I can't disclose. Luna has passed away, and I can't say it at this moment," Abigail said, honoring her promise to Luna.

After all, once she had said it aloud, Larry would be truly abandoned. Regardless of the future, she will protect Larry for Luna's sake and ensure his healthy growth, even if it meant that Sean would

misunderstand.

These were the responsibilities she must bear. She left Luna because she couldn't tolerate her temper, which resulted in the vast distance between them now.

Hence, she would not utter a word about Larry, even if the entire world misunderstood her.

"I believe trust is incredibly important in a romantic relationship," Kevin added.

"Even in a relationship, personal space should exist. Just because we're together doesn't mean we can have no boundaries. In fact, I want to give Sean a call and ask him if I'm hiding something. Would he think I'm hiding it from him because I don't love him? Kevin, don't you think you're looking at relationships too simply?" Abigail gazed into his eyes, carefully choosing her words.

Kevin raised his hands in surrender. "Alright, alright, you're always so quick-witted. You don't have to tell Sean, but you can tell me. What are you doing here? I promise to keep it a secret. If I leak even a punctuation mark, I'll let a car run me over, okay!"
