Chapter 138 Trying To Understand

Abigail truly cared about no one now. Not only did she not care about Sean’s prestige, but she also disregarded Cornelie’s words.

“She doesn’t know how to do anything. What can she achieve outside? With a capable husband like

you, she’s still insistent on earning a meager salary outside. Only people who come from the countryside have such poor mindsets,” Cornelie criticized with disdain.

Sean used to dislike Abigail, and he would forget such words in the past. As he carefully listened, he

couldn’t help but feel that these words were like thorns pricking at his heart.

“Why? Did I say anything wrong? We’ve spent thousands to feed and clothe her, yet she’s never

given us a child,” Cornelie muttered.

After listening indifferently, he said, “I’ve said before that I don’t want kids. Why are you making

things difficult for her? Why did you ask her to come back today?”

His tone carried a hint of anger, and Cornelie could sense it. She stuttered, “I-I found a doctor to

treat her.”

the phone.
