Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 1139
Johann looked at Louis and said seriously, "I feel a strong connection with Abigail. I like her. From the moment I decided to adopt her as my granddaughter, I've already decided to love and care for her as if she were my own."Louis, I hope that from now on, you won't take the liberty and do things you think are good for me but will end up hurting the people around me again.""All right. I'll listen to you. From now on, I won't do anything that makes you unhappy again." Louis raised his glass and took another sip with Johann.After putting down the glass, Louis looked at the photo on the funeral plaque again and said, "Dana was so beautiful when she was young."Johann took two sips of the wine and raised his head to look at the photo too. "Although her appearance in my photos of her stopped at a young age, I believe she'd still look beautiful even if she had aged."Louis responded, "Indeed, she was beautiful. Even with wrinkles on her face, she'd still look intelligent and elegant

Louis said, "Can you stop obsessing over this? It was a misunderstanding between you two back then. You didn't actually abandon your wife and child."When she was alive, you didn't manage to find her. After she passed away, your granddaughter suddenly came into your life. Doesn't that indicate that she has already let it go?""No. She hasn't. She still blames me. She should blame me..." Johann shouted emotionally, and Louis could not control him.In desperation, Louis turned to the door and said to the butler, "Go and bring Ms. Renee here immediately."'Unresolved issues will continue to occasionally cause pain until they're addressed and resolved completely,' the butler thought. He understood that logic. So, he quickly followed the instructions and hurriedly went to Abigail's room.When he knocked on the door, Abigail had just done showering and was getting ready for bed. Upon hearing that something happened to Johann, she followed the butler and went to Dana Pavilion without ask

Even if Abigail did not say that, Johann would definitely go either way. But he thought now was not the right time.The first reason was that he finally found the person he had been searching for for so many years, but she had passed away. He was not emotionally prepared to see her grave.The second reason was that before Xander left, he had told Johann that Ron might be up to something lately and that keeping Abigail at the Blau residence in Valtara would be the safest option.Johann thought, 'The deceased are gone. It's the living who's the most important. I must keep my promise to protect Abigail well and make sure she doesn't get hurt, especially when she's around me.'"Let's wait for a little longer before going there," Johann said before walking up to Abigail. He held her hand tightly again. He had many things that he wanted to say to her, but he did not know where to start.He pondered, 'No wonder I felt a strong sense of familiarity the first time I met Abigail. It wasn't

This time, Melody did not respond with a text message. Instead, she requested a video call. Abigail accepted it and immediately heard Melody's loud voice. "Caterpie, look into my eyes!"Abigail stared at her.Melody said, "Open your eyes wider."Abigail widened her eyes and said, "I wasn't joking. It's true. I'm at his place now."She then flipped the camera view to show her room to Melody. "This is the room he prepared for me. We even had an important adoption ceremony today."Melody finally believed it was true. "Damn!"Abigail responded, "Keep your voice low."Melody replied, "Not only did my best friend marry the richest man in the world, but she's also the grandchild of a prominent figure from Valtara who's been living outside. I'm so freaking lucky. I don't want to work hard for the rest of my life anymore. You're responsible for taking care of me."Abigail had been feeling unhappy since the afternoon. And it was instantly cured by Melody's cheerfulness. Abigail responded

Abigail was stunned for a moment. She then screamed just like Melody did. "Melody Mane, what did you say? Say it again!"Melody repeated, "I'm pregnant!"Abigail asked, "You're not joking with me, right?"Melody said, "My period has always been on time. But I didn't have it this month. So, I bought a pregnancy test kit, and the result was positive. My boyfriend was worried that the results might be inaccurate. So, he took me to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor confirmed that I'm indeed pregnant."Abigail was extremely excited. "Ah... Does that mean I'm going to be a godmother? Are you having a boy or a girl? I need to prepare gifts for my godchild."Melody responded, "Caterpie, you're so silly. I'm just pregnant for a month. It's still an embryo. We still can't tell if it's a boy or a girl yet."Abigail replied, "I got carried away with excitement. But whether it's a boy or a girl, I'll love them. I'll prepare two gifts. Who knows, maybe you'll give birth to twins with oppo

It was in the early hours now. So, Abigail thought everyone should be asleep. To her surprise, people started commenting on it very soon after she uploaded the episode.[Ah, Caterpie, you finally updated it. Finally. Please draw quickly. I want to know if the sweet couple have recognized each other.][Caterpie, don't be lazy. I'll send you a virtual gift!][Fat Caterpie, work harder. Don't keep us in suspense.]People commented one after another. And in no time, there were dozens of comments flooding the screen.After reading them, Abigail replied with a comment: [Do you all really want the sweet couple to recognize each other so badly?]After she replied, her fans got excited. They kept commenting under her comment.[Ah... Fat Caterpie, who never replies to the readers' comments, actually replied to me!][Fat Caterpie, quickly tell us, when will the sweet couple recognize each other?][I actually hope they don't recognize each other too soon. After all, that guy doesn't even

Abigail was not foolish. She knew that Johann was trying to make up for the debt he felt toward Cassandra by being extra kind to her. "Johann, you don't owe me anything. You don't have to treat me like this."Johann stretched his hand to hold Abigail's hand. He hesitated for a moment before smiling awkwardly. "I know, I know. But it's only natural for a grandfather to be good to his granddaughter."Abigail noticed the cautiousness and disappointment in Johann's eyes. When she thought about the sufferings he had endured over the years, she suddenly felt very sad for him. "Joh... Grandpa..."Johann looked at Abigail with surprise. "Abigail, did you call me?"He did not dare to finish his sentence as he was afraid that he might have misunderstood.Abigail took the initiative to hug Johann's arm. "Grandpa!"Johann was very old. And due to the years of self-blame and longing, he looked more than ten years older than his actual age. He looked much older than his elder brother. People w

Mobius said, "Go ahead. We'll wait for you."Marlin replied, "I haven't had breakfast either."His three brothers responded, "You haven't had breakfast?"They thought, 'Was the ham sandwich just now fed to the fish?'Marlin responded, "I really haven't eaten."Abigail could tell that Marlin just wanted to be with her. So, she walked toward the dining area with him in her arms. But she got tired after a few steps. "Uncle Marlin, do you know how much you weigh?"Marlin responded, "I weigh forty-four pounds."Abigail replied, "No wonder I can hardly carry you."Johann said, "Abigail, put him down and let him walk by himself. His brothers pamper him so much that they carry him wherever he goes. If this continues, this kid might even forget how to walk."Marlin responded, "I won't forget."Abigail said, "It's not far away. I can still carry you to the dining area."Marlin replied, "Abigail, I've heard that you're married. Are you going to have a little kid too?"Abigail paused f

Emma turned and dashed into the bathroom. She cranked the faucet on and splashed water on her face, aiming to soothe her nerves.Although they were engaged, they were still too young, with countless uncertainties looming over their future. The possibility of actually walking down the aisle was up in the air.Decisions made in a rush of happiness could eventually become sources of regret. And Emma knew all too well that she couldn't afford any regrets.She thought that fortunately, Ron hadn't pushed things further, which gave her time to cool off.After freshening up, Emma stepped out to find Ron on the balcony, a cigarette in hand.She couldn't resist chiding him, "I've told you to cut down on smoking. Why can't you seem to remember?"This time, Ron complied, snuffing out the cigarette. "We should get some sleep. We've got to put our best foot forward when we meet your family tomorrow.""Okay, I'll sleep on the couch. You take the bed," Emma responded.Ron simply replied, "As y

Ron looked at her dawdling pace with disdain. "If you, a lady, can handle it, why can't I, a grown man, stay?"His words sounded noble, but Ron regretted them the moment they arrived at the hotel.Despite now earning a decent income, Emma was still reluctant to spend money.This place was hardly a hotel; it was clearly a budget inn charging only a few dozen bucks a night. The hygiene was questionable at best, and safety seemed like a gamble.Ron turned on his heel, dragging her suitcase behind him. "We're leaving, now.""It's too late, and we can't get a refund for the room.""Are you trying to get us killed?"Emma fell silent, her thoughts a whirlwind of frustration. 'I told him he wouldn't be used to cheap places. He insisted on coming with me, and now he won't even let me stay here alone. Why is he so annoying?'However, considering Ron had rushed over in the middle of the night to help her, Emma decided not to hold it against him.Ron picked the best hotel in the area—the

Rebekah glanced over at Ron; she exchanged a knowing look with him before saying, "I'll have someone tidy up the rooms. Why don't you two stay here tonight and keep me company?"Ron replied simply, "Sure."Emma had purchased a midnight flight back to South Florivera, necessitating a rush to the airport, which made staying over after dinner impossible.Yet, she found herself at a loss for words, struggling to decline Rebekah's kind offer.As she hesitated, Ron stepped in to clear the air. "Mom, I've got something on tonight. After dinner, I'll drive Emma back to her dorm."Rebekah raised an eyebrow. "What's so important?" she wondered aloud, thinking, 'Wasn't he the one insisting Emma stay over? What's he up to now?'Ron kept it mysterious. "Life stuff."Rebekah could not help but chide him lightly, "You, always the joker."Right after dinner, Ron insisted on leaving to take Emma back to her dormitory. But as soon as they were out of the gated community, he asked, "So, you reall

Ron chuckled. "I didn't know you were aware that even a cornered rat will fight."Emma shot him a glare. "Are we going or not?"Ron quickly said, "Of course. When Miss Blue commands, how can I dare not obey?"Fearing another of his notorious driving escapades, Emma hastily buckled her seatbelt as she settled into the car.Thankfully, this time Ron kept it smooth, driving steadily.As they neared their destination, Ron finally spoke up, "You know, that Tucker guy is a married man. Don't let his kindness fool you into being the other woman."Emma's gaze on Ron was fiery, seething with anger. "Do you even hear yourself? Is that what you think of me? For the last time: Tucker and I share nothing more than a mentor-mentee relationship. There's nothing else between us.""I'm just looking out for you, worried you might get deceived," Ron said, witnessing Emma's fury for the first time. Yet, he could not help but find her anger not at all intimidating, but rather endearingly foolish.R

The two sisters had a pact: no cell phones at home to keep their secrets from the prying eyes of the Blue family. Thus, Emma could call only at prearranged times, the sole window for Rihanna to catch up.Rihanna's voice bubbled with excitement over the phone, as she chattered away about her life's minutiae.Knowing Rihanna was doing well eased Emma's mind.Just as Emma was about to end the call, she heard Rihanna's voice, soft and wistful. "You're really not coming home for the holidays? If you don't, I'll be all alone."Emma's heart clenched at those words, and she made up her mind in an instant. "I'll come back the day before New Year's Eve."The Blue family had their hands full with festivities that day, too busy to notice Rihanna's absence. Emma figured slipping back unnoticed then would be her best shot.After hanging up, Emma immediately booked a flight from Valtara to South Florivera. With her ticket secured and her last bit of work finished, Emma prepared to leave her off

Emma had no interest in romance, let alone the audacity to dream that Ron might fancy her.This time, she did not pick up the thread of conversation.After dinner, Ron, as usual, drove Emma back to the university.Before parting, Ron said, "Winter break is almost upon us, and the dorms might be off-limits. Are you sure you don't want to stay at my place for a couple of months?"Emma offered a smile in response. "Thanks for the offer. I've spoken with the dorm supervisor and submitted an application in advance. I'll be able to stay over the holiday period."Ron paused before saying, "Well, if you need anything, just let me know. I'll text you my number in a bit; make sure you save it."Emma nodded. "Sure."Without further ado, Ron drove off.Upon returning to her dorm, Emma saw Evelyn and Cassie, busy packing their bags, surrounded by gifts for their parents bought from Valtara.Evelyn asked Emma, "Are you really not going home for the winter break?"Emma replied, "No, I won't

Emma did not have the guts to risk failure because she did not have a safe haven to fall back on.Lucas kicked Ron in the shin. "Come on, if you fancy her, out with it. No Hagrid heir dithers like this."Ron glared at him. "Mind your own business." In his head, Emma was already his. The thought of losing her was unimaginable.Lucas said, "Without my meddling, she'd never be yours."Ron changed the subject. "I called you here for a serious discussion."Lucas replied, "No matter how serious, it can't outweigh the matter of your lifetime happiness."Ron was exasperated. "Lucas!"Lucas relented. "Alright, alright, you talk, I'm all ears."Ron spelled out Emma's music venture with Tucker. After hearing it all, Lucas could not help but see Emma in a new light."Never pegged Emma as such a dark horse," Lucas said.Silently listening to their conversation, Emma was thrilled to have her work recognized.Lucas said, "But, getting back to it, whether a song makes money, and how much, d

Ron barked, "Lucas!"With a chuckle, Lucas responded, "Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing Emma. I'm starving. Let's grab some food and talk business while we eat."Ron snapped, "Get lost!"Lucas could not help but revel in Ron's frustration. "Ron, have you fallen so quickly? Who was it that told me they would never accept an arranged marriage?"Emma was increasingly confused by their banter. "If it's inconvenient for me to be here, I can just take a cab and leave."Ron said, "Call you dumb and you won't admit it!"Emma thought to herself, 'I didn't want to be a third wheel, cramping their style. Was that really so wrong? No good deed goes unpunished, apparently.'Suddenly, Ron grabbed Emma's hand and led her inside. "It's cold out; let's go inside."Emma had to quicken her pace, practically being dragged along.Seeing them together, Lucas laughed heartily from behind. "Ron, oh Ron, never thought I'd see the day.""Don't laugh too soon. Your day is coming," Ron shot back.Th

Emma said, "Okay."Ron asked, "Have you won over your crush?"Lucas responded, "Secret."Ron replied, "Looks like you haven't won her over."Lucas said, "As long as I make a move, there's no girl I can't win over. But I haven't made a move yet because the timing isn't right."Ron asked, "Is it because of the Sandow family?"Lucas answered, "The Sandow family wants to marry their daughter to me, and my family wants me to marry her too. But I've told them long ago that I'm not willing to do that. Nobody can make me marry a girl I don't like."Emma remained silent. 'I didn't expect that Lucas would also have the same problem as me and Ron.'It seems like the wealthier the family, the more they'll arrange marriages based on social status without considering personal preferences.'Lucas seemed to sense Emma's thoughts. "Emma, my situation with the Sandow girl is different from yours and Ron's. Don't lump us together."Ron looked at Emma and suddenly said, "There isn't any other gi
