Chapter 590 Strict Family


    Abigail and Sean came out of the hospital, and Abigail heaved a long sigh.


    Sean smiled. "What? You don''t like theming to the hospital?"


    "It''s not that. I just can''t get used to it," said Abigail.


    Sean looked at her. "You''ll get used to it soon enough. Analise seems happy with it. Don''t worry. Let


    them talk to her, or she''s going to overthink a lot of stuff."


    Abigail knew Analise was happy. Her wish was to have a reunited family. Abigail decided she would


    toss all those problems behind her. "Let''s get dinner. I''m going to see if there''s any massage parlor


    "Oh, you want a masseuse? I can give you a massage, too, you know." Sean gave her a knowing


    smile.


    Abigail pouted. "Yeah, forget it. You don''t even know how to give a proper massage. Sure, you can


    ease my shoulders for a bit, but the pain wille back stronger tomorrow."


    Sean sighed. "So your work''s been wrecking your body, huh?"


    "No idea." Abigail knew she was in pain, but she had no idea the details of her condition.


    "I''ll take you somewhere tomorrow to get checked," said Sean.


    They went into a hotel. Sean called Analise and told her they were eating out, and then he told Abigail


    to make the orders.


    Abigail had just picked up the menu when Adam called her. She took the call, but instead of saying


    anything, she put it on speaker so Sean could listen as well.


    "Ms. Quinn, if you are not going to make your decision soon, I''ll expose this scandal to the Inte. I


    heard you wanted to make Fairy Meadow adies'' fashion brand under L.Moon. You should know what


    will happen if the president of adies'' fashion brandpany is found to be in a sexual assault case.


    Fairy Meadow will be done for," said Adam darkly.


    Abigail said calmly, "Empty threats. Not like Fairy Meadow''s the one who betrayed women. If you want


    to expose it, go ahead, and make sure it gets to the top trending on Twitter, or you''re a loser."


    Adam flew into a rage, and he scoffed. "Don''t regret this. It''s not easy running apany. Just give in,


    and this will blow over. There''s no need for Fairy Meadow''s reputation to be ruined."


    "You made one mistake, Mr. Strong. If Mr. Creed didmit a crime, what we have to do isn''t cover it


    up. That''ll be a betrayal to women everywhere. That is anathema to why we makedies'' fashion. Fairy


    Meadow''s reputation is important, but the victim''s well-being is more important than that. I will not do


    anything hypocritical. Forget it. That''s all I have to say. Do what you will." She hung up.


    Sean stopped the recording and gave Abigail a look of approval. "Good answer. That''s a good


    foundation for Fairy Meadow''s counterattack."


    "Did Xavien find anything?" Abigail was curious.


    Sean cocked his eyebrow and nodded. "Yes. He found out who that woman was. She''s Adam''s


    mistress and had his child. Adam promised her 300 grand if she yed along with his n. He said it


    was enough money tost her whole life."


    "What a scrooge," said Abigail. His shoe business is booming, but he''s only willing to pay 300 grand for


    a woman''s golden years of youth and her right to conceive?


    "Some people get more miserly the richer they are. That woman only makes fifteen hundred a month


    from being his mistress. That''s about eighteen grand a year. Three hundred grand is a big sum for her,"


    said Sean coolly. And some people only spend a few hundred on a college girl escort.


    "Would you get an escort too?" asked Abigail suddenly.


    Sean ruffled her hair. "What are you talking about? My family''s strict. I wouldn''t do anything like that."


    Abigail grunted and nodded. "Colby''s time is different from ours."


    "If a family''s strict, it''ll be that way for a long, long time. If one of the family members is a canker, then


    the whole family''s probably bad too," said Sean. "Oh, your parents'' family is an exception," he


    continued after a pause.


    Abigail cocked her eyebrow. "A lifetime is a long time. Long enough for love to be spoiled. Long enough


    for people to have a change of heart."


    "There are a ton of prettydies out there. If all of us are only dating for looks, then marriage has no


    point," said Sean coolly. He had no interest in gettingid all day, every day. He thought it was


    disgusting.


    Abigail argued on purpose, "Some people cheat not because of their lover''s looks. Their partner might


    not be as understanding as their lover, after all."


    Sean sighed. "The quality of being understanding is just a facade. It''s a blessing if someone could find


    a partner who meshes well with them."


    Abigail was surprised. "How so?"

    "Take my grandparents, for example. They fight all the time. Your grandparents, however, never seem


    to argue. A couple is made for each other if they can endure the mundanity of life." Sean envied the


    rtionship Analise had with her husband.
