    Chapter 226 For The Sake of The Noodles


    The two of them bickered all the


    way, and by the time they returned, the sun was high in the sky. Still, the countryside was shaded with


    plenty of trees, making the temperature pleasant.


    As Abigail headed for the kitchen, Sean asked Cameron, who had been waiting for their return, “Is the r


    oom all set?”


    “Yes.” Cameron nodded.


    “In that case, you should head back to the city first. Don’t let anyone know where I am. If there’s anythi


    ng, just text me on WhatsApp,” Sean whispered.


    “Got it.” Cameron obediently nodded again.


    When Sean saw Abigail chopping meat in the homestay’s kitchen, he asked, “Are you making. breakfas


    t?”


    “Yeah,” she said, a bit puzzled. Was he not here for work? Why did he seem so idle?


    The next moment, he rolled up his sleeves, approached her, and asked, “What do you want for breakfa


    st?”


    “Spaghetti. What are you doing?” Abigail noticed he was reaching for her knife, so she moved away slig


    htly.


    “I’m making you breakfast because it seems you can’t handle a knife safely,” Sean said, swiftly grabbin


    g her wrist and taking the heavy knife from her grasp. She saw him skillfully chopping the ingredients, s


    o she decided to help by washing the vegetables.


    “It’s okay. You can go ahead with your work. I’ll finish and bring your breakfast to your room,” Sean sug


    gested, pausing to look at her.


    “I’ll always make time to cook myself breakfast,” Abigail replied. When she came here, she had alread


    y decided that no matter how busy she was, she would take the time to cook for herself.


    Sean sighed. “You’ve cooked with me twice, and I still don’t have a good impression.”


    Upon hearing his words, Abigail suddenly felt very embarrassed.


    “Fine, do it yourself,” she said, looking irritated, then turned and left.


    Sean grinned subtly as he saw her slender figure walk away.


    Back in her room, Abigail was having mixed feelings. Even though they were


    divorced, sometimes, when she saw him around, it felt like there was not much difference from when t


    hey


    were married.

    The countryside had fewer selections of ingredients than the city, but the freshness made


    up


    for


    1. it.


    Sean cooked two bowls of spaghetti with meatballs. He also thoughtfully prepared some parmesan che


    ese for Abigail.


    In Abigail’s room, there was arge table covered with a tablecloth in the middle, and on ity Lexie’s d


    ress. The dress might not appear impressive at first nce, but the myriads of materials on the table su


    ggested it was far from simple.


    Abigail sat on the single couch, in front of which was a small table where she usually had her meals.


    “I went to see your grandmother before I came. She’s recovering well, and she looks energetic,” Sean


    mentioned to Abigail as he stood by the window.


    She nodded. “Thank you for visiting my grandmother.”


    “No need for thanks. It’s the right thing to do,” Sean replied. Abigail’s grandmother was in the hospital b


    ecause of his grandmother, so morally and ethically, he should visit her.


    Abigail made a soft sound of agreement and said nothing further.


    Sean moved closer to her and stood beside her. “I heard from the doctor that your grandmother hasn’t


    been taking her insulin for diabetes as prescribed. Did you know about this?”


    Previously, Analise had a history of not taking insulin as prescribed. Abigail had repeatedly warned her,


    yet she didn’t change her ways.


    “Did you ask for details?” Abigail asked.


    “I did. The doctor said she’s managing her condition somewhat marginally. When it’s severe, she takes


    insulin and medication, but when it’s not, she neglects it,” Sean exined.


    Upon hearing this, Abigail wished she could fly back immediately. However, what good would it do now


    ? Whenever her grandmother was under observation, she briefly adhered to the prescribed regimen, b


    ut as soon as no one was looking, she returned to her old habits.


    After a moment, Abigail spoke softly. “I’ll call and talk to her.”


    “I have a proposal. Would you like to hear it?” Sean asked.


    “No need. I’ll handle it myself,” she replied firmly.


    “You’re as stubborn as your grandmother. Even with the condition she is in now, you’re so focused on o


    ur personal matters that you won’t even consider my advice,” Sean replied sternly.


    Abigail frowned at him. “My grandmother is in this situation because of your grandmother and


    Joan. I can’t afford to have any connection with you.”


    “You haven’t even heard my n, and you’re already assuming it’s rted to me?” Sean raised an eye


    brow.


    “You proposed it yourself, so it’s hard not to link it with you,” Abigail retorted with a hint of


    sarcasm.


    Sean yfully reached out and pinched her cheek. “Can’t you say something nice? If not for my sake,


    at least for the sake of this te of spaghetti.”


    “It’s not like I forced you to cook it. You wanted to cook it yourself,” Abigail replied, swatting away his ha


    nd.


    “Will you listen?” Sean reached out to poke her cheek again.


    “Just go ahead,” Abigail said, feeling like she wanted to bite off his poking fingers.


    “Okay. My idea is to find a reliable


    family doctor for your grandmother. I can help you with the research, and then you can personally talk t


    o the doctor when you have time,” Scan proposed, gazing at Abigail. He appearedposed on the su


    rface, but he was actually nervous.


    Abigail took a few bites of her spaghetti and pondered momentarily. She actually found this n entirel


    y satisfactory.


    “That could work. But when you’re looking for the doctor, make sure your grandmother and Joan won’t f


    ind out, alright?” Abigail was still somewhat skeptical. She did not want to invite any more trouble from


    Lina.
