The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 364 Reflex

Before Sean could even speak, Kelly cut in, “What’s going on here?” Her gentle voice dissolved the tension between him and Abigail.”

Abigail looked at the man, her eyes cold as she stated, “I’ll visit your family with my grandmother. to express our thanks and to apologize. My grandmother has no ill intentions toward your family; she just wanted to share something good she received with her best friend. She’s more upset than anyone else about this situation. You never got it right-the one at fault in this case is the person who conspired to kill your grandfather!”

She was about to leave after saying this, but Kelly spoke up. “Are you saying that you and your grandmother bear no responsibility for this? Mr. Graham’s grandfather almost lost his life, but you’ve neither visited him nor offered a word of sympathy. Even now, you’re still arguing over who is to blame and who isn’t.”

Abigail turned to fix the woman with a stern look. “Who are you to butt in here? What does the matter between the Grahams and the Quinns have to do with you?”

Kelly’s face turned red one moment and pale the next at the remark. Nevertheless, she put on a helpless demeanor, arguing, “You knew you’re the reason for Mr. Graham’s intense rivalry with Uncle Vincent, and yet you neglected to take precautions. How can you just send food to someone by mail? Since it’s from the same city, why didn’t you deliver it yourself? Or perhaps you never cared about them, which is why Old Mr. Graham suffered. Isn’t that right?”

Her words struck right at the heart of the issue that had been bothering Sean all along. He clenched his cigarette, appearing indifferent as if this had nothing to do with him, but hist breathing became noticeably careful.

Kelly continued to criticize Abigail by saying, “Let’s face it-you guys just wanted to save yourselves from trouble. Sending a package won’t take much of your or your grandmother’s time. Old Mr. Graham is still lying in the hospital, but you never visited him with your grandmother. You say she’s upset, but is it too much to ask for her to pay him even a single visit?”

“Do I really need to explain so much to you?” Abigail looked at Kelly with contempt.

At that, Kelly darted a glance at Sean. “I’m asking on behalf of Mr. Graham. He’s the one who needs your explanation the most,” she replied, a note of sadness in her voice.

“Do you not have a voice, Sean?” Abigail shifted her focus onto the man.

Sean immediately replied, “She took it upon herself to ask on my behalf. Why are you angry
