Abigail’s Second Life

Chapter 42

After a shower, Abigail came out of the bathroom and dried her hair with a towel. She was about to blow dry her hair when Ana lise called out from the living room, "Abigail, it's getting so late. Why isn't Sean back yet? Did he drink too much at a business meeting and is too drunk to get home?"

Abigail was startled by her grandma's voice. She quickly set the hairdryer down and stuck her head out to glance at the clock on the wall in the living room. It was 10.40PM.

She didn't think her grandma would still be waiting for Sean.

"Why aren't you asleep, Grandma? Didn't I tell you? He's quite busy these days. He must've decided to sleep elsewhere tonight."

Abigail rubbed her forehead. She was beginning to get a headache. Usually, Ana lise went to bed quite early, so much so that Abigail assumed her grandma would've gone to sleep by the time she came out of her longer-than-usual shower.

"Hurry up and give Sean a call to ask him where he is. See if he needs someone to pick him up."

Ana lise trembled as she took Abigail's phone from the table and held it out. Her voice was stern, leaving no room for discussion.

Abigail sighed. She couldn't argue with her grandma, so she dried her hands and took the phone.
