Chapter 860 The Ultimate Reward


    Sean let out a deep breath, his anticipation palpable, as he leaned in to kiss her again. Months of longing had led to this moment, and as the driver


    navigated the car to a secluded spot, the intensity between them only grew.


    After two long hours, Sean finally emerged from the car. His shirt was all crumpled up, and his pants looked like they had been through a mud bath.


    "Fetch a set of clothing for both a man and a woman." he instructed the driver.


    The driver was well-advised to walk away briskly. Meanwhile, Abigail took her sweet time to cautiously step out of the vehicle. Wrapped in Sean''s


    coat, it enveloped her like a protective shield, yet beneath it was her own insecuritiesid bare; she had nothing underneath it


    Quietly, she approached him from behind and enveloped him in a silent embrace. Her feelings were conveyed through the warmth of her touch rather


    than words.


    "What are you thinking about?" he asked, gently taking her hand with a smile on his face


    "I''m just tired, so I''m really craving your embrace." Abigail replied, her voice tinged with weariness


    Turning to face her, Sean gently pressed her against the car, holding her tenderly as he radiated warmth and affection. "I haven''t endured much


    hardship. I''ve recouped the 400 million as well as assumed control of Jonell''s ventures in Monfort, along with the estates and wineries in New Yoke.


    They''re all under my ownership now."


    “And what about 3 million?" Abigail couldn''t help but wonder about the whereabouts of that amount of cash. She had hoped in secret that he would


    keep the money for himself, but he ultimately surrendered it.


    "That money rightfully belongs to the people and should be returned. I wouldn''t feel right keeping it," Sean caressed her nose, his voice brimming with


    affection.


    "That''smendable." Abigail embraced him tightly.


    In that instant, it dawned on her that being near Sean was never close enough. Every moment with him left her craving more. It was a hunger for his


    presence that couldn''t be satisfied. After being in each other''s embrace for a while, Abigail earnestly expressed, “Thank you, Sean.”


    "You''re my wife. It''s natural for me to take care of family matters. There''s no need for thanks,” Sean reassured her as he gently ran his fingers through


    her hair, his heart brimming with contentment.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    Returning home to a hearty meal felt like the ultimate reward.


    Abigail''s face lit up with a shy yet adorable smile.


    "Jonell’s days of freedom are over. He''ll spend the rest of his life in the 2x4 cell," Sean murmured as he absent-mindedly yed with her hair, his


    eyes revealing nothing.


    She wondered about the unresolved fraud case. "And what about the fraud case?”


    “Jonell might have been thrown behind bars, but there are still others involved in Eswadia. The investigation is still ongoing. You''ve noticed too that


    my name wasn''t dragged into the news. This fraud mess caused us so much hell. I don''t want to be dragged into it any further. I want us to marry. We


    can''t deny the fact that we''re not getting any younger, right?" He had made up his mind. He was determined to marry her this time.


    Abigail leaned into his chest. "Okay. I want to marry you too.”


    Sean let out a satisfied sigh. “Once all the challenges that we have faced, I''m finally getting to marry you."


    Abigail felt a pang of sadness as she gave a soft sigh. "I wish Grandma could be here to see this."


    "She''s looking down on us from above, so she''s still part of our journey,” Sean murmured in reassurance while his hand caressed her hair.


    Lost in their shared emotions, they silently exchanged thoughts for a while.


    When the driver returned with their clothes, Abigail slipped into hers, and Sean did the same. Together, they made their way to the restaurant for a


    meal.


    Everything seemed to have fallen into ce. like the settling of dust after a storm.


    In the afternoon, while Abigail and Sean were out shopping, they were interrupted by a call from Josh, who reported that Luna''s emotions were


    extremely unstable.


    "What''s wrong? She seemed fine this morning," Abigail nced at Sean for support.


    Sean draped his arm around her shoulder. "Skip the shopping. We should go to the hospital and check on her.”


    "She tried having a word with Larry, but he didn’t respond well. She felt a bit disheartened because of that,” Josh exined, his tone troubled


    Abigail furrowed her brow.

    Josh expressed his concern. "We can''t indefinitely prevent her from seeing Larry."


    Sean reminded her softly, "Our main focus right now should be on helping Luna recover. Life throws plenty of curveballs our way, but let''s tackle them


    one at a time. Let''s head back to the hospital first.”


    After sharing a fewforting words with Josh, Abigail ended the call, and the couple headed back to the hospital together.


    Despite Larry''s tight grip on Josh, his excitement was clear when he spotted Abigail. His face lit up and he eagerly stretched out his arms as he called


    out, "Mama!"


    Sean motioned for her to go to Larry.


    Abigail wrapped her arms around him. She gently rocked him back and forth, trying tofort him as she whispered, "Why don''t you call Luna


    ‘Mama?"


    Larry buried his head in her arms, fidgeting his chubby body while remaining silent.


    Sean motioned subtly for Josh to follow him out of the ward, a silent yet clear indication that they needed to talk.


    "Josh, you can''t just ring Abigail

    Josh nodded in understanding. "Okay, I get it.”


    Despite not being married to Luna yet, Larry''s refusal to acknowledge her was still a family issue that weighed heavily on Josh.


    Having witnessed Luna getting hurt so many times and he couldn''t help her out, he realized he should deal with things by himself this time.


    "Are you alright? Your face looks a bit scratched up.” Josh noticed a faint scab on Sean''s cheek.
