    Chapter 179 Unexpected Encounter


    Seany down and fell asleep in no time.


    Analise brought out a nket from the house and covered him with it. He looked at the worry in his


    eyes, and she sighed softly.


    She had no idea what had happened between the two of them.


    After she returned to the kitchen, she scooped up the dumplings and called Abigail on WhatsApp.


    Soon, the call was connected.


    Analise looked at Abigail with a face full of affection and asked, “How’s work beentely?”


    She Had a feeling that this call was rted to Sean.


    Abigail bit her lip and asked Analise. “It’s been okay. What’s going on?”


    “You haven’te back for a long time, and I miss you. During the New Year, from the first day to the


    third day, it was Sean who was afraid I’d be lonely, so he came to keep mepany,” Analise said with


    a gentle voice.


    She sat in the kitchen and nced at Sean, who was resting in the corridor.


    Analise was still anxious about Sean.


    Maybe he hadn’t been feelingfortable at home, so he hade to her for somefort and food.


    When Abigail heard what Analise said, she was a bit surprised. After a moment of silence, she asked in


    a soft voice, “He spent three days with you during the New Year?”


    “Yes,” Analise replied with a smile.


    Abigail felt a bitplicated after hearing Analise’s words. She chatted with Analise for a while. before


    hanging up as she was busy.


    Abigail’s thoughts were in disarray as she sat in the office.


    Sean had never mentioned this matter to her.


    He could have used this to his advantage and taken credit for it, so why didn’t he say anything?


    Around noon, Abigail returned to the countryside.


    Sean was in the yard picking vegetables with Analise. He squatted on the ground and carefully


    pinched the tender white cabbage hearts at the end of February.


    Abigail stood outside the fence and looked at him. Her face was full of disbelief.


    He isn’t at work?


    She had just decided toe back and visit her grandmother, and she didn’t expect to encounter


    Sean.


    “Abigail.” Analise turned around, and when she saw Abigail, her face lit up with joy before she dropped


    the basket she was holding.


    Sean also looked up at Abigail.


    It had been so long since Analise had seen Abigail. She rushed out of the yard, held Abigail’s hands,


    and sized her up. Her eyes were filled with tears. “How long has it been since you came back? You


    didn’t evene back for the New Year!”


    Herints made Abigail truly realize what longing meant.


    It turned out that videos and phone calls couldn’t relieve someone’s longing for another person.


    Abigail hugged Analise. “I won’t be so busy in the future, Grandma.”


    “I didn’t mean to me you for being busy…” Analise let go of Abigail, her eyes red.


    Abigail looked at her with a sense of guilt. “I should consider your feelings more.”


    “It’s all right… Did you have lunch?” Analise held her hand and led her into the yard.


    Sean was still picking vegetables and asionally looking at Abigail.


    Abigail and Sean joined Analise in preparing the vegetables.


    “You’re not at work today. Did youe here to rx in the countryside?” Abigail asked Sean after


    Analise prompted her several times.


    “I wasn’t in the mood. I came to see Grandma, and being with her makes me feel better, Sean replied.


    She hadn’t even noticed that Sean had such a good rtionship with Analise.


    In the past, Analise used to call him ‘Sean.


    His answer made Abigail smile, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Is my Grandma a lucky charm? Does


    being with her make you happy?”


    “Because it’s rxing here,” Sean replied seriously.


    Analise’s eyes sparkled with joy. “You cane here more often. It’ll be lively in the summer.”


    Sean’s memories of this ce are already quite distant. After all, he came here when he was very


    young.


    “All right,” he replied with a smile.


    Afterward, the two of them helped Analise prepare lunch.


    Abigail felt that the conflict between her and Sean seemed to have been diluted due to this unexpected


    interaction.


    After lunch, Analise went to take a nap.


    Abigail and Sean sat in the corridor. She reviewed some materials with a tablet in her hand while Sean


    Jay on a lounger and looked at her.


    “Can we talk about the trending topics?” Sean asked Abigail.


    Abigail replied, “Sure.”


    “I admit that our rtionship has caused you to be constantly embroiled in controversies. You’ve


    indeed been deeply affected,” he said to her slowly.


    Abigail pursed her lips but didn’t respond.


    If it were in the past, she would probably have thought about going through hardships together


    with Sean.


    When the incident happened yesterday, she was angry at first, thinking it was the result of Sean

    repeatedly not heeding her advice.


    Now, she realized that she had gradually grown impatient with the man she had once loved deeply.


    “Your attitude yesterday made me realize that you probably won’t want to announce our rtionship


    anymore,” Sean continued.


    “It’s good that you understand,” she replied calmly.


    He looked at her profile for a while before saying, “So, it was already predetermined from the very


    beginning.”


    Since they got married, all the rules he had set had be punishments for him.


    “I used to think I could change you, but it turned out that if you don’t like it, you just don’t like it,” Abigail


    said candidly.


    Sean’s eyes had a deep and thoughtful look. “How can you say that I don’t like you?”


    “If it’s necessary to involve Joan in between us, I think It’s better not to then,” Abigail said with a faint


    smile.
