The Spare Wife

Chapter 350 I’m Not a Ruthless Person

Abigail nodded but remained silent. She couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret for not recording Kelly’s reaction the last time she called her. However, she knew that even if she had recorded it, it might not have made a difference, as Kelly could always claim that someone else had impersonated her. After all, Abigail didn’t even know whose phone number Kelly had used.

“Of course, it’s your prerogative to like or dislike someone. Still, I was hoping you could put on an act to put Kelly at ease, even just for once.” Josh looked at her hopefully. “As long as she knows you don’t hate her, she’ll leave.”

After hearing that, Abigail’s mind was filled with doubts about whether he truly comprehended. Kelly’s nature. She knew that acquiescing to his request would inevitably plunge her into a web of complications. She questioned the wisdom of playing the saint in this situation. It was evident to her that Josh was placing her in a very uncomfortable predicament, all for the sake of Kelly. He was ready to make a rather impolite request of her. She inquired with a cold smile, “Kelly is important to you, isn’t she? That’s why you want me, an outsider, to endure discomfort for her happiness, isn’t it?”

He knew how selfish and disgusting he was and made a conscious decision to approach her and talk about this. However, he couldn’t bear the thought of Kelly having to humiliate herself before Sean’s relatives just to gain Abigail’s forgiveness. With a pained expression, he confessed, “I know I’m being selfish, Abigail. But I hope you can do me this favor.”

Abigail stared at him for a long moment, her silent contemplation reflecting the transformation she had observed in Josh. A person who had been consistently considerate had now seemingly transformed into someone she despised due to Kelly’s web of deceit.

She couldn’t help but sigh as she considered the apparent lack of principles in some men. Men often treated women they perceived as vulnerable like fragile porcelain dolls, going to great lengths to ensure their happiness rather than standing firm in their principles to help these women grow stronger. As these thoughts swirled in her mind, she couldn’t suppress a rueful chuckle.

Furthermore, she currently enjoys a privileged situation where she doesn’t need to cater to anyone. If you were a good brother, you would have reprimanded her instead of indulging her, which only encourages her self-degradation.” Abigail rose from her seat, her disappointment palpable as she gazed at Josh. “You’re all the same, and
