The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 287 An Unpleasant Gathering

Abigail had gotten married after she had graduated not long ago. Now that she had gotten a divorce, it was hard for her to respond to her professor’s question.

“I haven’t gone anywhere. I’ve opened a studio with Luna and am mostly working behind the scenes on designs to improve myself,” Abigail replied softly.

Hearing her words, the professor nodded in satisfaction.

Soon, more classmates arrived. Even Luna, who was out of town, managed to make it.

As Luna sat next to Abigail, she gestured to her to look at the table beside them.

Abigail was so engrossed in talking to her professor that she didn’t notice someone sitting beside them. When she turned to look, she saw Sean, along with several other individuals she didn’t recognize. They were all dressed smartly and looked professional.

At the same time, Anthony noticed her gaze and instinctively looked over. Upon seeing Sean at the next table, he thought it was quite a coincidence. However, this restaurant had become a preferred gathering place for upscale people because of a famous chef’s recent national recognition, so it wasn’t entirely unexpected. Hence, it was evident that Sean was here to talk business.

Sean seemed to have sensed Abigail’s gaze and gave her a nonchalant glance. Although his expression appeared composed, his gaze was dark.

Immediately, Abigail averted her eyes.
