Luna also experienced its absence. While observing the drama that day, she experienced a range of emotions. She thought, I can depart, but what about Abigail, Larry, and Josh?
"Do you still have feelings for Josh?" Abigail suddenly inquired. She thought, Considering the proximity of Valentine's Day, I need to remind Josh gently.
"Naturally, I still be fond of him. How could I not? We already have a child, so we cannot simply part ways from one another." Luna made a joke.
Abigail was unable to resist smiling. "Yes, we cannot allow him to escape consequences easily! You must remain with him for the entirety of your life!"
Luna nodded, indicating her agreement.
Shortly after that, Josh arrived with food.
"Luna, you may proceed with your meal. I will engage in a conversation with Josh," Abigail said, dismounted from the bed, informed her, and guided Josh out.
Upon closing the door to the ward, Josh expressed confusion by inquiring, "What is happening?"
"Valentine's Day is approaching. How do you intend to spend time with her?" Abigail whispered.
"I've been preoccupied with Valentine's Day activities for the past few days. Let's keep it between us, don't tell her," Josh whispered in return.
Abigail thought, He was quite thoughtful.
"Alright, I will return now," she stated.
Sean had exhibited a mysterious demeanor for several days. On the morning of Valentine's Day, he chose attire for Abigail.
Upon awakening, Abigail discovered a stack of garments that belonged to her on her bed. Observing Sean, who appeared exhausted, standing by the closet door, she inquired while rubbing her eyes. "Are you selecting garments on my behalf?"
Sean nodded, scratching his head, then turned to Abigail and urged, "Hurry up and get up."
"Your actions make Valentine's Day akin to New Year's," Abigail remarked as she pulled back the covers and departed.
"There remains a distinction from New Year's. Please freshen up first. I will select your outfit item by item." Sean escorted Abigail to the bathroom.
After Abigail refreshed herself, Sean helped her change her clothes. After considering various options, from a sleek suit to a graceful dress, he chose to wear a wine-red dress.
Sean gently smoothed down Abigail's hair behind her before adorning her neck with a necklace.
Abigail made contact with the necklace. "Is this item intended as a Valentine's Day present?"
"Yes, to some extent." Sean grasped her hand. "Let us prioritize eating first. Subsequently, we can proceed to take a walk." He thought, The genuine surprise is arranged for the evening.
At midday, Sean escorted Abigail to a Siverdian cuisine restaurant, and upon completion of their meal, the clock displayed two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Would you like to engage in a shopping activity?" Sean lacked specific plans for their upcoming activity.
Abigail displayed a facial expression indicating displeasure. "Do we need to make any additional purchases? Would you like to consider going to the cinema?"
She thought, If I knew, I would purchase a gift sooner. I may not be a dependable partner when selecting a Valentine's Day gift.
"Consider purchasing an alternative item that you can give to Luna," Sean recommended.
He thought, Luna requires emotional fulfilment in all areas, and providing her with sufficient happiness notably enhances her mood.
"Okay, could you assist me in selecting it?" Abigail escorted him to the upscale women's boutique. Preferring not to present a necklace, she opted for a bracelet that still belonged to friendship-style bracelets.
"This Lily gold bracelet is aesthetically pleasing, as the Lily symbolizes good fortune." Abigail presented it to Sean.
Sean regarded her with a tenderness reminiscent of how one would look at a young girl. "Indeed, you're fair. It appears more aesthetically pleasing when you wear it."
"Is my skin fair? I've been outdoors for an extended period and acquired a tan." Abigail has recently been attempting to lighten her skin tone, but she has not perceived it as effective. Upon receiving Sean's compliment, she experienced a slight increase in happiness.
"It is difficult for you to achieve a tan. You were slightly tan before, but now that you have returned, your skin's much fairer. Have you not observed?" Sean squeezed her hand and juxtaposed it with his own.
Abigail observed that she was somewhat paler than Sean. She smiled and remarked, "Compared to you, I am still considered fair."
After purchasing a Lily gold bracelet, Abigail and Sean departed from the upscale boutique.
As the time approached, Sean asked Abigail, "Shall we visit Ocean Vista Haven and explore?"
"Sure." Abigail anticipated a large crowd. However, she opted to accompany Sean on a sightseeing excursion. Upon his arrival in Capitalis, he had been preoccupied with various engagements and had not yet had the opportunity to explore the local attractions.
