Chapter 141 Putting Joan in the Film Crew
He raised an eyebrow. âAre you jealous again?â
âStop daydreaming,â she replied, practically rolling her eyes, her expression cold.
He looked at her, saying, âIt mustâve been tough on you to pretend to be a good wife for the past
three years.â
His words made Abigail feel embarrassed. Indeed, she had acted gentle and virtuous back then in
order to make him fall in love with her.
Seeing her reaction, Sean knew that he had hit the mark. Her original personality wasnât what it
used to be; now, this was her true self.
The waitress soon arrived, upon which Abigail handed the menu to her.
After the waitress left, Abigail fell silent. She started watching videos on her phone, deliberately
playing them with the volume on.
Understanding that she didnât want to communicate with him, Sean also took out his phone and
began reading the messages Kevin had sent him. Kevin had sent him countless messages in
succession today, but he didnât like checking his WhatsApp when he didnât have to.
After opening Kevinâs messages, he noticed that the man had sent him a link to a post on
Instagram. He tapped on the link, discovering that someone had photographed him and Abigail entering a hotel. There werenât many comments, but the post still made it to the list of trending topics⊠Obviously, someone was doing this on purpose.
âDid
you get us trending on Instagram?â he texted to ask Kevin.
Kevin didnât reply to his message, for he was probably busy.
As Sean continued to read the messages, he found that Joan had actually explained that he and Abigail were cousins. He frowned at this explanation. Joanâs eager to explain, huh? Abigail and I havenât said anything yet, but sheâs already come forward.
âDo you know weâre trending?â he suddenly asked.
Abigail looked at him and closed the video. âWhatâs wrong?â
Abigail looked at him and closed the video. âWhatâs wrong?â
âJoan said weâre cousins. What do you think?â he said, deliberately testing her attitude.
âIsnât that convenient? It saves you from explaining our relationship,â she replied nonchalantly.
He looked at her and suddenly said, âI donât mind making our relationship public.â
âDonât. I mind,â she hurriedly replied. âBesides, weâre not public figures. Our marriage has nothing. to do with the public, so thereâs no need to explain anything to anyone.â
âAre you trying to leave a way out for yourself, or do you really just not want people to know about. it?â Seanâs eyes narrowed slightly. He strongly suspected that she was thinking about being with Anthony after their divorce.
âJust what are you trying to say? Do you still want to enjoy this meal?â Abigail became irritated at
once. She could easily guess what he was thinking-he probably thought she was saying that for Anthonyâs sake.
Their conversation ended abruptly when a waiter brought a fruit platter to their table.
In the afternoon, Abigail completely ignored Sean.
As it was getting dark, Sean received a call from Kevin, who said Joan had accidentally cut her hand.
deeply.
When Abigail came out of the store and didnât find him outside, she immediately figured out what
had happened.
Sean got back into his car and called her several times, but she didnât answer.
After being busy in Broham for a few days, Abigail got a phone call from Lewis telling her to get ready to join the film crew. She had to join the crew, take measurements of everyone, and sort out their sizes before making their clothes.
On the day of joining the crew, Anthony came to her studio specially to pick her up. âHowâs the fabric selection going?â he asked with a note of concern in his voice as she packed the tools she
Abigail put the ruler into her bag and replied gently, âItâs going well. Some fabrics are being produced according to our requirements, and Iâll be able to get the samples in a couple of days.â
âYouâve been working hard these days. I heard youâve been visiting fabric markets in person,â said Anthony, his voice filled with sympathy.
Abigail felt that his tone did sound a bit odd. Just when she was about to tell him that she was
already married, she heard him continue, âDid you and Sean⊠go to Broham because you came.
across some difficulties and sought his help?â
âNot really. He tagged along on his own,â she explained casually. She quickly realized she couldnât reveal to Anthony that she was married, or he might easily deduce that she was married to Sean. She didnât want anyone to know about her marriage to him. She hoped that their past relationship wouldnât become fodder for gip after their divorce.
âJoan said heâs your cousin. In that case, your cousin seems to care a lot about you,â Anthony teased.
She replied indifferently, âLet them say whatever they want. Iâm not a public figure, and itâs best not
to respond.â
Anthony nodded in agreement. âYouâre right. After all, online attention is a double-edged sword,
Being mysterious to the netizens is a way of protecting yourself.â
âThatâs exactly what I think. Letâs go. Everythingâs packed,â said Abigail with a smile. She did feel much better talking to Anthony. He was far more pleasant compared to Sean, who only seemed to
add to her troubles.
As they both got in the car, Anthony suddenly asked, âA few days ago, some media outlets reported.
that Sean had taken Joan to the hospital. Youâre his cousin; do you know whatâs his relationship with
Joan?â
Abigail didnât feel like answering the question. âWhy are you asking?â
âOh, I heard from Director Lewis that Sean arranged for Joan to join another film crew, so weâre going to meet at Millstone,â replied Anthony before smiling faintly.â
