Chapter 154
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 154 Immediate Divorce Cornelie went to the kitchen, displeased, and Abigail followed to help.
Afraid they might start arguing in the kitchen, Sean planned to join them, but Colby spoke up.
âThey need to talk about what happened before. Your grandmotherâs personality is like that, and itâs not good for her to keep it to herself.â
âOkay...â Sean could only sit back down.
In the kitchen, Cornelie closed the door before speaking. âWash the vegetables first. Iâll teach you. how to cook if you donât know how.â
Abigail walked to the sink and turned on the tap, slowly washing the vegetables.
Seeing her slow pace, Cornelie grew impatient. âAt this rate, when will we have dinner?â
âIf you want it faster, then come he, Abigail responded calmly. âThis is the way I wash vegetables.â
âYouâve really grown bold, huh? You dare to argue with me. Do you think that just because you have a job, youâve grown wings?
Let me tell you, if you donât quit your job, you should divorce Sean!â Cornelie muttered as she grabbed ingredients from the fridge.
Abigail snorted but didnât respond.
âYouâre a woman, and all you do is work. How much money can you make? Didnât your grandmother teach you that women should stay home to have and raise children?â Cornelie tossed the meat onto the sink, criticizing relentlessly.
âMy grandma taught me never to think about being a manâs maid for the rest of my life, or Iâll bet done for.â Abigail put the vegetables into the colander.
Sean and Colby were watching a show. Suddenly, they heard Cornelieâs shouts from the kitchen. âThis life is no longer livable! I canât take it anymore! I kindly offered to cook for you both, and. Abigail actually ridiculed me for being your maid!â
Abigail opened the kitchen door, drying her hands and looking at Sean. âIâll leave if itâs not okay.â
Colby said in a deep voice, âYou traveled for so long. Why go back now? Since youâre here, consider this place your own home.â
âIs what she said reasonable? Am I the maid of this house?â Cornelie rushed out of the kitchen as she questioned.
Abigail felt a bit repulsed. She turned to Cornelie and said, âAre you saying that if I donât stop working, I should divorce Sean?
Fine, have him send the divorce agreement over, and weâll get done tomorrow.â
it âAbigail!â Seanâs anger flared.
âWhy are you shouting at me? Iâll have you know that even if Iâm made from mud, I can get angry too. You people threaten me with divorce. Am I supposed to be scared? If you donât want to continue this marriage, just say so!
She has a heart condition, and I canât afford to provoke her, so I will avoid her. How can she pick fights with me every day?â
Abigail coldly questioned Sean.
âIf itâs really unbearable, then get a divorce. After all, this brat has an unclear relationship with Joan. Let this old woman find a wife whoâs willing to reproduce recklessly for her grandson.â Colby also growled.
Abigail involuntarily looked at him.
âGrandpa, when Grandma took me to see the traditional doctor, that guy almost killed me with acupuncture. But what did Grandma say? She said I was faking it. Is my life not important in her eyes?â Abigail asked.
Colby only knew that Cornelie complained about Abigail being ungrateful and telling Sean about being taken to a doctor.
âWhat happened?â Colby looked at Sean.
âIâm still looking into the matter,â Sean immediately replied.
Colby turned to Cornelie with a stern expression. âThings have gotten this serious, and youâre still causing a scene? Could it be that youâre actually happy only if something really happens to her? Thatâs enough! Iâm going to draft the divorce papers!â
For three years, Sean hadnât properly fulfilled his responsibilities at home. He was entangled with his first love outside, and Colby couldnât be bothered anymore.
He had a good relationship with Analise.
The Grahams had nearly killed Abigail. If they did cause her death, how was he going to explain this to Analise?
The Quinns had raised Abigail with great difficulty. She was their only granddaughter. If the Grahams made her lose her life, he would be in deep trouble!
âGrandpa, this was all a misunderstanding, to begin with. You know what Grandmaâs temperament is like.â Sean gently tried to placate him.
Colby, however, sneered. âHer temperament? Tell me about her temperament! Furthermore, what misunderstanding are you talking about? You donât want to have a child. Why would she find all sorts of people to help with the pregnancy if not for that? Sean, if you want freedom, fine. Three years ago, I was wrong.â
Sean glanced at Abigail, then said after a moment, âI donât want freedom. I accept this marriage.
Why does the matter of having a child have to be so urgent? I donât understand why we have to have a child!â
Abigail pressed her lips together, remaining silent.
Seeing the situation escalate, Cornelie immediately screamed, âEver since she came to my house, nothing good has happened!
Back in my day-â
âDid I ask for your opinion? You nearly killed someone! Donât you feel a hint of remorse? I entrusted Sean to you, and I have no idea what kind of person youâve turned him into!â Colby interrupted Cornelie directly.
âGrandpa, Grandma, please stop arguing. This is all my fault. I shouldnât have come back today,â Abigail commented softly.
âThis matter has nothing to do with you. For the past three years, youâve been a perfectly good wife. Itâs this brat who doesnât know how to appreciate it. Letâs get the divorce done right now and stop all this fighting!â Colby was furious at that point.
