Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 1390
Nathan's attitude was so genial that Felix could not bare to be vicious with him. "I see that Caterpie didn't want to bother with what had happened and made up with you just like that.""Mhmm," Nathan grunted."Let me ask you this, do you have any plans to live your life with her?" Felix asked."Of course, I do," Nathan replied.Felix then said, "If so, then go and undo your divorce. Do it as soon as Caterpie is discharged; the faster the better. I don't want Caterpie and Pax to be strung along by you for nothing.""There's no need for that," Nathan said flatly.Felix grew anxious when he heard that. "What do you mean by that? You're having second thoughts now? Xander Zane, let me tell you this, if you dare to hurt Caterpie again, I'll be the first to get my hands on you!"Felix then went on a tirade for a good while, and after he was done Nathan said slowly, "We had never been divorced, so there's no need to undo anything.""What do you mean?" Felix was puzzled.Nathan then e

Kane had been working responsibly every day.Aside from Nathan, Kane had been the most exhausted person in the past few months.Now, he merely followed Nathan's instructions and suddenly got scolded.In an instant, his suppressed emotions exploded. "I'm just following orders. Why did you scold me? If you dare, ask that culprit over there to rest properly."Kane then turned his head to look at Nathan. It was very obvious who he was referring to.Felix turned his head to look at Nathan too. His imposing manner instantly weakened.Felix wanted to scold Nathan, but he did not dare to do so. He said, "A-Anyway, from now on, you must tell Caterpie if something happens. Don't hide anything from her again."Nathan looked very unwell. He held his chest and coughed for a while before stopping. "Mr. Thompson, rest assured, the things you worry about won't happen again."Nathan's voice was a little weak. Felix felt worried upon hearing it. "You should rest. I'll leave now."Nathan replied

When Abigail was spending time with her friends in the afternoon, Nathan did not appear. Susanna said he was resting. So, Abigail did not doubt him.She lowered her head and lifted her shirt to feed Pax.Nathan was staying beside her to accompany her. "Pax's behavior of only nursing and not taking formula isn't ideal. I've already had people look for a wet nurse. We'll probably be able to find one very soon. Then, you'll have an easier time."Abigail responded, "The doctor and Susanna told me that my milk is sufficient for Pax. You don't need to do that."Abigail had more than enough breast milk, and Nathan knew about that.But his concern was not about that. Since Pax only drank breast milk, Abigail had to feed him personally if he was hungry. This would make Abigail a lot more tired.By finding a wet nurse for Pax, the wet nurse could share the feeding duties, allowing Abigail to have more time to rest.Nathan rubbed Abigail's head. "I'll take care of it. I won't let Pax go hu

Abigail thought, 'He's such an outstanding man, and he treats me so well. I mustn't let him be taken away by someone else.'Abigail continued saying without waiting for Nathan's response, "If you're willing, let's get remarried once I'm discharged."Her gaze was clear when she looked at him. It was charming and sincere.Nathan did not respond and turned around to leave.Abigail was speechless.She was worried and felt a little hurt. She thought, 'What's he doing? I took the initiative to bring up remarriage, doesn't he want it?'While Abigail was lost in her thoughts, Nathan returned with the marriage certificate and some documents in his hand.He then handed it to her and solemnly said, "We have always been husband and wife."Abigail was quick-thinking and immediately understood what was going on. "You deceived me again? The people who handled our divorce procedures back then were fake?"Nathan looked a bit embarrassed when Abigail immediately hit the nail on the head. "Could

It was the same for Nathan. During that year, if Margaret had not talked about it every day, he would also have forgotten that he was married.He stretched his hand to hold Abigail's hand. "Thank you for coming into my life! Thank you for giving me a second chance."Abigail responded, "Not the second, but the third."Nathan replied, "Huh?"Abigail said, "This is the third chance, and it'll be the last. If you leave me again, I'll never forgive you."Nathan held her hand tightly. "There won't be a next time."Abigail responded, "I want a pinkie promise.""Childish." While he called her childish, he obediently extended his hand to make a pinkie promise to her.Abigail said, "All right, I'm done eating. You should rest."However, Nathan did not move.Abigail asked, "Do you have something you want to say to me?"Nathan suddenly said, "Abigail, I love you! I love you very much!"The sudden confession made Abigail blush. "I know. I've always known."Abigail thought, 'If he didn'

This was the first time Nathan had slept beside Abigail since they reunited.Abigail stretched her hand to gently tap his nose. "Big liar, you said you weren't sleepy!"She then leaned closer to press her nose against his and gently rubbed it."Nathan..." Kane suddenly barged in. He looked up and realized he had come in at the wrong time. He quickly turned around and wanted to leave. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to disturb!"Abigail said, "Dr. Watson, please wait!"Kane stopped walking. "Do you need something?"Abigail opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Nathan seemed to be startled. He suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Abigail's hand tightly. "Abigail..."Abigail was frightened. But she quickly reassured him, "Nathan, I'm here. Don't be scared..."He stared at Abigail's delicate face. "Abigail, is it really you?"Abigail held his hand and brought it to her face. "It's me, it's really me."He stretched his hand out and carefully touched her face. After he felt her w

It was already in the afternoon when Nathan woke up. He could not even believe it. His mental state had improved significantly from sleeping well.Kane was very happy when he noticed Nathan looked much better. "Abigail, Nathan looks much better today, all thanks to you."Abigail did not want to take the credit. "Dr. Watson, you're the one who's taken good care of him."Susanna said, "Abigail deserves the most credit. Dr. Watson has done a lot too. Anyway, it's all thanks to both of you."Kane responded, "Let's not argue who deserves the most credit. Nathan, come with me for a checkup.""Okay." Nathan handed Pax back to Abigail. "I'll be back in a short while. Let Susanna keep you and Pax company."Abigail replied, "Sure, go and do your things."As soon as Nathan and Kane left, an unexpected guest arrived at the ward.Susanna recognized the man. She remembered he had been trying to pursue Abigail.His arrival made Susanna very alert. She kept staring at him as if she was afraid

Abigail's response was truly protective of Nathan. It also proved the importance of Nathan to Abigail.Nathan's heart was filled with warmth. He stared at Abigail and saw her bravery and determination.He suddenly remembered what Felix said, "Don't hide anything from Caterpie. She's much stronger than you think. She can protect you..."Nathan thought, 'Yes, Abigail has always been very brave, strong, and determined. She's been protecting me in her own way.'Ronan questioned Abigail, "He was in your heart?"Abigail ignored Ronan's questioning, and it seemed like she only cared about Nathan. "Go and get your checkup done. I'll handle things here."Nathan replied, "Okay."He thought, 'From now on, I must believe in her and let her do what she wants to do instead of doing everything for her.'Abigail withdrew her gaze after watching Nathan leave.Ronan said, "Your eyeballs were about to leave with him."Abigail looked at Ronan seriously. "Nathan is my husband. He and I are family

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
