He also still has feelings for Abigail and he knows that if he calls her out for lying she will be in a lot of trouble https://padlet.com/alanna_chambers/7icmv65clfchcna9/wish/773470142 2020-09-23 18:54:36 UTC https://padlet.com/alanna_chambers/7icmv65clfchcna9/wish/773470142 He believes people should forgive him, but he hasn't fully apologised of confessed his sins https://padlet.com/alanna_chambers/7icmv65clfchcna9/wish/773472178 2020-09-23 18:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/alanna_chambers/7icmv65clfchcna9/wish/773472178 https://padlet.com/alanna_chambers/7icmv65clfchcna9/wish/773477181 John is a farmer so assuming he sells his goods, if he confessed he could possibly lose customers and then not be able to support his family as easily.
