Abigail’s Second Life

If she were indifferent, Sean wouldn't have minded. She was vibrant, ambitious, and compassionate. An unjust marriage would only bring her anguish, resentment, and tears. "But you will-"

"You don't know what we've been through. I... I may never forget her in this lifetime," Sean interrupted.

Irene's eyes welled up and glistened with tears. "Do I not stand a chance at all?"

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have given you false hope," Sean said gently.

He almost made another mistake, nearly leading himself into a dead end.

Irene sniffled upon hearing that. "I feel quite pathetic to be rejected by a handsome man so swiftly."

"Don't blame yourself. Everyone must believe in their own worth." Sean reclined in his chair, feeling a bit more at ease now.

He even questioned if he truly understood love.

Why am I being so obstinate?

"May I make an unreasonable request?" Irene spoke softly.

"Go ahead." Sean inclined his head.

Irene moistened her lips before muttering, "Could you give me three months? Let's pretend to be a couple for that time, and I will reimburse you for everything you've bought for me. After three months, I will have saved up enough to renovate my home, so I won't fear my father taking my money."

Sean furrowed his brows. "If you don't like the bag I purchased for you today, you can return it and ask for a refund. If he tries to take your money, you can get it back." Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
