THE SPARE WIFE - Season 3 Episode 72

After putting Kevin into a cab, Sean headed toward Joan’s residence.

“What’s going on?”

Sean’s expression was dark and mysterious as he sat in the car Xavien used for tailing.

“Their aim is to use Old Mrs. Graham as a threat. She will force you to pressure Mrs. Graham into dropping the lawsuit against Kingston and forgiving him so they can get him released from prison, Xavien stated solemnly.

Sean sneered in response. “Joan is someone who knows how to avoid trouble and seek benefits. She’s already seen the consequences of those who go against me, so she’s not foolish enough to do that. Keep an eye on her. I’m anticipating the good show she will put on for me.”

After saying that, he opened the door and disappeared into the darkness.

At that moment, Joan discussed the next day’s plan with Kingston’s friend.

However, a knock on the door startled her.

She quickly exited the temporary chat application and approached the door, asking in a low voice, “Who is it?”

“It’s me,” the person outside the door replied.

The owner of this voice was precisely the person Joan had been yearning for day and night.

She eagerly opened the door, but when she saw who the guest was, her face quickly turned pale.

The next morning, as usual, Lina set off from the Graham Estate to go shopping at the supermarket.

She pushed a cart through the crowd and occasionally saw couples with children. She would even- envy the parents who carried a little chubby child in their arms for a while before moving on to the next aisle to pick ingredients.

It’s about time Sean goes on a blind date. This can’t go on forever! Lina sighed.

“Grandma, are you shopping for groceries too?”

A familiar voice resonated beside her.

When Lina turned around to see Joan, her expression instantly fell. “Who’s your grandma? I don’t

have a granddaughter! I heard that your brother kidnapped Abigail’s grandmother and got into trouble. How many years of imprisonment was he sentenced to?”

She was eager to get Sean a wife, but Joan’s brother, who had committed a crime, wouldn’t fit her criteria at all!

Joan felt somewhat awkward due to the elderly woman’s reaction. With reddened eyes, she appeared as timid as a rabbit who was bullied. “If it weren’t for that old lady from the Quinns insulting Sean and claiming that he has an affair at the hospital, my brother wouldn’t have been driven to kidnap her. She was trying to frame him!”

“Both of them are ungrateful brats! If Sean were really having an affair, I would’ve had a great- grandchild by now. Why would they even be involved?!” Lina was instantly enraged upon hearing it and started mumbling.

Seeing an opportunity, Joan tagged behind her and added fuel to the fire. “You must watch out for Sean, Grandma. Lately, he’s been in frequent contact with Abigail, and they even went to a bar

together.”

Upon hearing this, Lina immediately turned to her and scolded angrily, “When did they start contacting each other again?”

“Something happened at Abigail’s studio, so she asked for Sean’s help,” Joan explained as she naturally reached out and pushed Lina’s shopping cart.

Lina was fuming by now, and her eyes showed complete disgust. “I knew it! Sean was definitely the one who paid for her fame!”

“Yeah, and who knows how much money he spent!” Joan added, playing along.

“You seem to care a lot about him.” Lina realized this through her observation despite the look of dismay presented on her face.

“You’re aware of my feelings for Sean, don’t you, Grandma? I certainly don’t want him to get tricked by Abigail,” Joan replied obediently.

When Lina turned around to pick her ingredients, she couldn’t help but ponder.

Although Joan had a criminal brother, her intense interest in Sean allowed Lina to keep tabs on him through her. This way, she could make arrangements for him and get rid of Abigail, that leech, once and for all!

After a certain amount of consideration, Lina turned back to Joan. “Speaking of which, your brother went astray because of Sean. It has nothing to do with you. The issues were essentially caused by the Quinns. Without that leech and her grandmother, your brother wouldn’t have resorted to crime.”

Joan burst into tears at her statement. “My brother… is just too loyal. He treats Sean like his own

brother and can’t stand watching him getting bullied by the Quinns!”

Lina could tell Joan was acting, but she didn’t express her thoughts directly.

By the time they left the supermarket, Lina had a big smile on her face. “You really shouldn’t have paid for this. I’m not short of money, so why are you trying to pay for me?”

Joan looked at her with reluctance and uttered softly, “It doesn’t matter whether or not you’re short of money. It’s the thought that counts.”

“Let’s exchange numbers. From now on, you’ll accompany me when I go grocery shopping. You know what Sean’s food preferences are since you’ve been in a relationship with him before, so you can act as my advisor!” Lina suggested, acting like a magnanimous elder.

“Maybe not. My brother has done wrong because of Sean, so Sean doesn’t want me to have contact with him or the people around him. We’ve merely encountered each other by fate today, so he should be fine with it. However, if he finds out I’m in contact with you, he’ll be infuriated,” Joan lamented with red eyes, looking genuinely hurt.

“You know where I live, don’t you? I have a morning exercise routine, and I like to jog along the road outside the Graham Estate. Perhaps you can join me for a run. Sean has been enchanted by Abigail, so he’s not affectionate with me anymore, but I’m getting old, and I really hope to have someone to talk to, alright?” Lina suggested before she left with the accompanying driver.

When Joan watched her back as she left, a smug slowly crept up her face.
