Revenge After Prison Never Forgiven (Abigail) novel Chapter 324

Chapter 324

Something about Sebastian’s words stirred a strange feeling in Abigail’s chest. Silll, she replied, “No, I understand. The company has protocols,”

She wanted to act like everyone else, but she didn’t have that kind of confidence. She was already beyond grateful that Halden Group offered her a job, No matter how unfairly she was treated, she had no choice but to endure it

Back in prison, when she was beaten, she had once tried to fight back. But later she learned that in the face of an absolute system, personal res was painfully small. And the price of even a single act of rebellion was devastating

They stopped in front of a fast–food store. Abigail glanced at her phone and saw it had the best reviews. She turned to Sebastian and suggested, “Let’s g with this one.”

Sebastian responded with a simple hum, and the two of them stepped inside.

Sebastian wore a mask, but it didn’t attract any attention. After all, cosplay had become common among y

Abigail kept eating, while Sebastian, whose tolerance for strong flavors was clearly low, barely ate. Aher a few bites in, the chili sauce had him coughing softly, and his ears turned red.

Sebastian took it, then, with practiced precision, wiped the can clean with a handkerchief he’d brought with him. Only after that did he pull the tab and take a sip.

It was sweet, and the burst of carbonation on his tongue wasn’t bad. But he didn’t really like it. Still, watching Abigail alternate between bites of fried chicken and sips of soda, looking so thoroughly content, he couldn’t help but take another sip himself.

To Sebastian, her world seemed so simple. A meal that cost less than a few dozen bucks and a one–dollar soda were all it took to light up her face with

genuine joy.

It was the first time since they’d met that he saw her look so relaxed.

After eating, they returned to the hotel Abigail was beyond sleepy by then, but before heading into her room, she stopped at the door Room 850 where Sebastian stood and said, “I won’t let you doin tomorrow.”

Sebastian didn’t respond directly. Instead, he said, “Good night.”

Abigail scratched her head, thinking, “Yeah, it’s so late already. Talking about work now might just cause insomnia”

The next morning, Abigail arrived at Halden Group headquarters with Sebastian
