I Want a Divorce by Nadia Gordon

igail and Sean came out of the hospital, and Abigail heaved a long sigh.
Seu sunited. “What? You don’t like them coming to the hospital?”
not that. I just can’t get used to it,” said Abigail.
Sean looked at her. “You’ll get used to it soon enough. Analise seems happy with it. Don’t worry. Let them talk to her, or she’s
going to overthink a lot of stuff.”
Abigail knew Analise was happy. Her wish was to have a reunited family. Abigail decided siac would toss all those problems
behind her. “Let’s get dinner. I’m going to see if there’s any massage parlor later. My shoulders are killing me.”
“Oh, you want a masseuse? I can give you a massage, too, you know.” Sean gave her a knowing smile.
Abigail pouted. “Yeah, forget it. You don’t even know how to give a proper massage. Sure, you can ease my shoulders for a bit,
but the pain will come back stronger tomorrow.”
Sean sighed. “So your work’s been wrecking your body, huh?”
“No idea.” Abigail knew she was in pain, but she had no idea the details of her condition.
“I’ll take you somewhere tomorrow to get checked,” said Sean.
They went into a hotel. Sean called Analise and told her they were eating out, and then he told Abigail to make the orders.
Abigail had just picked up the menu when Adam called her. She took the call, but instead of saying anything, she put it on
speaker so Sean could listen as well.
“Ms. Quinn, if you are not going to make your decision soon, I’ll expose this scandal to the Internet. I heard you wanted to make
Fairy Meadow a ladies’ fashion brand under L.Moon. You should know what will happen if the president of a ladies’ fashion brand
company is found to be in a sexual assault case. Fairy Meadow will be one for,” said Adam darkly.
Abigail said calmly, “Empty threats. Not like Fairy Meadow’s the one who betrayed women. If you want to expose it, go ahead,
and make sure it gets to the top trending on Twitter, or you’re a loser”
Adam flew into a rage, and he scoffed. “Don’t regret this. It’s not easy running a company Just give in. and this will blow over.
There’s no need for Fairy Meadow’s reputation to be ruined.

“You made one mistake, Mr. Strong. If Mr. Creed did commit a crime, what we have to do isn’t cover it tip That Il be a betrayal to
women everywhere. That is anathema to why we make ladies’ fasino Fairy Meadow’s reputation is important, but the victim’s
well-being is more important than that. I will not do anything hypoetical Forget it. That’s all I have to say. Do what you will she

ocked his eyebrow and nodded. “Yes. He found out who that woman was. She’s Adams aistress Shhis child. Adam promised her
300 grand if she played along with his plan. He said it was
money to last her whole life.”
Wh pa scrooge, said Abigail. His shoe business is booming, but he’s only willing to pay 300 grand for a woman’s golden years of
youth and her right to conceive?
Seme prople get more miserly the richer they are. That woman only makes fifteen hundred a month from being his mistress.
That’s about eighteen grand a year. Three hundred grand is a big sum for her,” said Sean coolly. And some people only spend a
few hundred on a college girl escort.
“Would you get an escort too.” asked Abigail suddenly.
Sean ruffled her hair. “What are you talking about? My family’s strict. I wouldn’t do anything like that.”
Abigail grunted and nodded. “Colby’s time is different from ours.”
“If a family’s strict, it’ll be that way for a long, long time. If one of the family members is a anker, then the whole family’s probably
bad too,” said Sean. “Oh, your parents’ family is an exception he continued after a pause.
Abigail cocked her eyebrow. “A lifetime is a long time. Long enough for love to be spoiled. Long enough for people to have a
change of heart.”

“There are a ton of pretty ladies out there. If all of us are only dating for looks, then marriage has not point,” said Sean coolly. He
had no interest in getting laid all day, every day. He thought it was disgusting.
Abigail argued on purpose, “Some people cheat not because of their lover’s looks. Their partner might not be as understanding
as their lover, after all.”
Sean sighed. “The quality of being understanding is just a facade. It’s a blessing if someone could find a partner who meshes
well with them.”
Abigail was surprised. “How so?”
“Take my grandparent for example. They fight all the time. Your grandparents, however, never seem to argue. A couple is made
for each other if they can endure the mundanity of life.” Sean envied the relationship Analise had with her husband.
