Chapter 74

Chapter 74 At the same time, Sean was still washing himself up in the washroom. However, he did not go back to Molly’s place for breakfast after he was done. He ate in his own house instead. He sat at the dining table while his tablet was broadcasting the domestic and international financial news and market trend. As usual, a western breakfast, bread, and coffee were placed in front of him.

ney But he was feeling a little different. He felt like his meal was unappetizing without the noise and lively atmosphere next door.

Ding-dong The doorbell rang when he was eating halfway. Tony stood up and went to open the door. It was a young lady dressing femininely and gracefully, standing at the door. Tony knew this person. She was his boss’ fiancée in name, Abigail Nolan. Tony was surprised by her coming uninvited, but he nodded to greet her out of courtesy. “Ms. Nolan, what brought you here?”

“I’m here for Mr. Anderson. Is he awake?” Abigail said gently.

“Yes, he is. Please come in.” Tony responded truthfully before he led her into the living room.

Sean looked up when he heard the sound. He arched his brows a little and said coldly when he saw her walking in, “Ms. Nolan, why did you come here so early in the morning? Is everything okay?”

He sounded cold and distant. Abigail could not help but feel a little disappointed at his attitude toward her.

However, she pulled herself together quickly and went in Sean’s direction while carrying her tiny bag. She smiled and said, “I’m here to have breakfast with you. I woke up early and made some pastries this morning, so I brought some for you to try.”

“How did you know I was here?” Sean asked. He was not a tad bit interested in her pastries and was not happy with her coming to his house either.

Abigail looked scared as she said softly, “Mrs. Anderson told me that. She said that you’ve been skipping breakfast recently.

She’s worried about your health, so she told me to make you something to eat.”

“As you can see, I’m almost done with my breakfast. Thank you for the thoughts, but you don’t have to do this anymore. I have a chef in my house. Besides, I don’t really like people coming to my house uninvited.” Sean lost his appetite as he said without holding back while wiping his mouth with a serviette.

After hearing those words, Abigail was not feeling very good, but she responded anyway, “It looks like I came at the wrong time.

However, there’s another reason why I’m here today. Mrs. Anderson said she wanted to have a meal with my family last time and is thinking about doing it tonight. So, will you be able to make it?”

Sean’s eyes darkened. He knew right away that tonight’s meal was just an excuse for them to talk about their marriage.

He said coldly, “I’m sorry. I have an appointment with somebody else tonight. I’m busy tonight.”

He responded without thinking twice. His answer was simple and straightforward. Besides, he had an appointment with Molly every night for his treatment. However, he would reject her even if it was not for the treatment.

ds But to Abigail, it sounded like Sean was just looking for an excuse on purpose to reject her. He never wanted to acknowledge this engagement anyway. She got a little upset at that moment, but she told herself to give him some time anyway.’ Everything’s going to be fine!’

She believed that Sean would accept her someday, and things would take a turn.

Besides, Sean’s parents agreed to their engagement, and she had never heard anything about him getting too close with another woman either. She was also Sean’s fiancée in name, so she had a few more advantages than others.

She was in a very favorable position.
