Chapter 155
The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon
Chapter 155 Disgusted Sean walked over to Abigail. He held her hand as he said to Cornelie, âSince you donât like her, I wonât come back in the future. If you really miss me, just come to my company.â
âSean, Iâm your grandma...â Cornelie hurriedly reached out to grab his hand, her voice trembling.
âI never said you werenât, but you keep causing a scene like this, and everyone is exhausted. She hasnât been home for half a year, and when she finally comes back, you still make things difficult for her,â Sean stated.
He wouldnât divorce Abigail.
Skipping dinner was fine.
Colby sneered upon hearing that . nat, youâre not getting a divorce anymore? Werenât you dissatisfied with this marriage? Your grandma doesnât like this daughter-in-law either. Letâs call it quits. Everyone goes their separate ways! Anyway, Sean, youâre still entangled with your first love. You wonât find any good woman if you continue like that.â
âWhy are you speaking about your grandson like this?â Cornelie suddenly shouted at Colby.
Iâm just stating the facts. Which part of what I said is false? You like Joan, right? Call her over and let her take care of you.â Colby continued to watch the TV after saying this.
Cornelie was infuriated and stormed into the kitchen.
âLetâs eat first and then leave,â Sean whispered to Abigail.
âIâll go upstairs first. When itâs time, have Dahlia bring it up,â Abigail said.
Having dinner with Cornelie really made her feel nauseous.
Sean nodded in agreement.
After dinner, Abigail ate in her room, and Cornelie didnât say a word at the dining table.
After finishing the meal, Colby stated, âSean, if you want to live a good life with her, consider having a child. Weâre not young anymore. In the first three years, she tried everything to get pregnant. She took injections and medication, but you refused. If you continue to refuse, donât hold her back.â
Sean just made a sound of acknowledgment.
Dahlia began to tidy up the dining table.
Cornelie was still displeased, but she didnât dare to say it. She could only hold it in.
It was clear that the Quinns owed the Grahams, but now it seemed like they owed Abigail!
Sticking it out for three years wasnât something everyone could do. Colby used to know that Abigail liked Sean, so he could only let her try hard to see if Sean would develop feelings for her.
But it was obvious that Abigail had used up all of her affection for him over these three years.
Colby glanced at his grandson and sighed as he got up.
âSean, if itâs not working out, just get a divorce. After all, the Quinns owe us. If you donât want to have a child with her, letâs find someone else,â Cornelie muttered quickly when Colby went upstairs.
Sean listened, feeling restless, but he didnât say a word.
You like Joan, and I like her too...â
âGrandma, itâs not that you like Joan, but you believe she can give birth to my child. I wonât have a child with any woman.â Sean stood up indifferently, not wanting to say more.
âSean, Iâm doing this for your own good!â Cornelie stood up as well.
âSo what? Just because you think itâs for my good, do I have to go along with your ideas? I donât quite understand why you, as a woman, have such a strong hatred toward Abigail. Do you feel very happy to give birth to children?â Sean asked seriously.
Cornelie hadnât thought about this issue for a long time.
She looked at Sean, her face showing puzzlement.
Seeing her like this, Sean couldnât get angry with her. Instead, he stepped forward, embraced her shoulders, and said gently, âGrandma, do you know why Iâve never been able to truly get angry with âYou know that Iâm being good to you,â Cornelie said, feeling wronged.
âYouâre my relative and my dearest grandmother. Of course, I never doubt your kindness to me.â Sean led her to sit down on the couch.
âBut Grandma, you need to change your way of thinking. Times have changed. You canât treat your daughter-in-law with the same standards you grew up with,â Sean slowly explained to her.
Cornelie was unhappy. âWhy canât I? We all grew up like this. Why is Abigail exempt from it?â
âOnly a woman without her own ideas will follow such standards,â Sean said calmly.
It was obvious that Abigail did have her own ideas.
He understood very well that trying to change Cornelieâs mindset, who came from an older era, would be incredibly difficult. It might even be impossible for that change to ever happen.
âWhat ideas? Whatâs the use of marrying someone if a woman wonât have children? Who is spoiling her?â Cornelie grumbled in discontent.
âGrandma. Sean frowned.
âIf you can convince me, why not convince her?â Cornelie asked, then turned to tidy up the cover on the couch.
Sean also knew that it wouldnât be easy to persuade her, so he patted her shoulder and went upstairs.
After he went upstairs, Cornelie leaned angrily on the couch, rolling her eyes.
Abigail thinks she can just throw a tantrum all over this house like she owns it, huh? After all these years of me running the show at the Graham Residence, am I supposed to just let a daughter-in-law walk all over me? No way! Abigailâs display of disrespect today wonât slip past me. Sheâs got another thing coming if she thinks Iâll just let it slide. This place doesnât belong to her, and I wonât tolerate her tantrums. Sheâs got some nerve!
