THE SPARE WIFE - Season 5 Episode 22

Sean nodded. “If I didn’t toss in the bait, they wouldn’t have fallen for the trap.”

Abigail thought, Oh, so having the media come up with those stories was on purpose?

The moment she went silent, he knew he said something wrong. He quickly said, “I was really mad when I beat that guy up. You know I love you”

“I don’t,” Abigail commented coolly.

Sean shut up and started playing his game again. Abigail couldn’t understand him. Does he have that much time?

While Sean was playing, Abigail picked up her tablet and started designing again. A while later, he said, “If you work so hard, you’re going to ruin yourself at this rate.”

Abigail was already enthralled with work. She didn’t care what Sean was saying. Sean stopped playing and rested his chin on his hand, staring at her as she worked.

Eventually, someone opened the door. Kelly stood at the entryway. The moment Sean looked at her, she smiled. “Mr. Graham, you’re here too. I’m here to see if Abigail’s fine.”

Abigail put on a look of annoyance. She looked at Kelly and drawled, “I don’t remember being that close to you.”

Martha stuck her head into the doorway. Displeased, she said, “Why are you always ungrateful?”

Abigail wouldn’t entertain her. She exited her design app and put her tablet aside. “Sean, she’s here for you. Take her away. I need to rest.”

Sean looked at her in displeasure, and he stood up. “She’s fine. I’ve visited her, so let’s go home.”

Kelly said. “You should go home now that Abigail wants to rest. I’ll take care of her while she’s asleep.”

Sean looked at her coldly. “She’s not that close to you. You don’t have to stay here and be a nuisance.

Martha heard that, and she got mad. She was about to speak her mind, but Kelly held her back. “I just think it’s hard for you to take care of her yourself, so I came to see if I could help,” she explained quietly.

“Shes noi paralyzed or immobile. I don’t really need to take care of her, Sean stated coldly.

Martha couldn’t stand this anymore. She held Kelly’s hand. “You don’t have to do this. He can die of exhaustion, and it’s still none of your business. She didn’t want Kelly to keep trying to butter

up to someone who didn’t care about her. It was degrading. No matter how brilliant Sean was, she shouldn’t go after him.

Kelly was a little angry, and she flung Martha’s hand away and left. Martha quickly went after her. Nervous, she asked, “Are you angry, Kelly?”

They came to a quiet corner, and Kelly stopped all of a sudden. She wheeled around and looked at Martha. “I asked you to come over so you could help me. Why did you say that to him?”

Martha got fidgety because Kelly was mad. “Sorry. I just don’t want you to be maligned.”

Kelly was displeased with Martha, but she didn’t show it openly. After forcing herself to calm down, she said, “Sean is a proud man. The more you fight him, the more he hates you.”

Martha looked guilty. She said quietly, “I don’t like Abigail’s attitude either. Staying there is just going to make life hard for you.”

“How is it going to make life difficult for me? Ms. Quinn might look like she has a short temper, but she won’t make things hard for me,” Kelly said nonchalantly.

Martha had a lot to say, but in the end, she only sighed. “You keep thinking the best of people.”

Kelly smiled. “It’s alright. We only got along this badly because of a misunderstanding. We’ll clear things up eventually.”

Martha didn’t think so. Sean obviously liked Abigail. Why are you butting in? There’s no point.

Since Martha was quiet, Kelly blurted, “Eric likes Abigail a lot, and she gets along with him well. Will he come back if he sees this news?”

“Not sure, but the Davidsons won’t agree to their marriage. Your cousin has had a crush on him since she was little. Your aunt’s been there for him since he was a kid. She thinks of him as her future son-in- law.” Martha thought Abigail and Eric would never be a thing. The fact that Abigail was an orphan and a divorced woman had already ensured that the Davidsons wouldn’t accept her.

“But you know how Eric is. He won’t go for anyone else now that he has eyes for Abigail. Abigail has it tough. I’d be happy for her if she could marry him.” Kelly put on a look of pity.

“They can deal with their matters themselves.” Martha didn’t want to take part in this. Her sister would be mad if she heard about this, let alone the Davidsons.

Kelly held Martha’s hand and put on an innocent look. “Mom, if we can help Abigail convince Eric’s parents and get them married, will she stop hating me?”
