Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 191
Abigail remembered clearly that it was Nathan who came to her rescue. His voice was the last thing she heard before losing consciousness. Yet when she woke, he was nowhere to be found.Upon seeing her awake, Xander, who had spent the night in a fretful vigil, finally felt his heart return to its steady rhythm. "If it's not me, who'd you expect it to be?" he asked, his voice hoarse from a sleepless night of concern.Abigail propped herself up on the bed, her gaze sweeping around the room in search of the man she longed to see. Disappointment crept into her heart when she found him absent. "Mr. Zane, when did you arrive? Did you see Nathan?"'He... is me, I'm Nathan.' Xander was tempted to confess the truth, but he found himself lacking the courage. The man who had faced death without fear was suddenly timid. "He took care of you through the night. He just left.""He left after caring for me all night?" Abigail withdrew her searching gaze, disappointment pooling in her eyes.'Why wo

When he mentioned going home, it sounded so natural that anyone who did not know them might mistake them for a married couple. Abigail objected, "Mr. Zane, I already feel guilty for causing you so much trouble. I can go back to my own place.""So you'd have me break my promise to my friend?" Xander did not want to force her into anything she did not want to do, but he also did not feel comfortable leaving her alone in her rented place. Previously, she had been fine living with friends, but now that people knew she was his wife, he did not dismiss the possibility that someone might target her to get to him. Her kidnapping by David had been due to his carelessness; he would not allow anything like that to happen again.His stern tone irked Abigail. "I'm an adult, not a child in need of supervision. Shouldn't Nathan have asked for my opinion before entrusting me to you? Do you think it's normal for a grown man to entrust his wife to another man?"It did not seem quite normal, so Xander

Jerick cast a glance at Shawn, who first sought Xander's eyes before daring to meet Abigail's. "Ms. Renee, is there anything else you need?" he asked.Abigail spoke up, "Atty. Cooper, could you please convey a message to Nathan for me? I need to see him, regardless of whether or not we're getting a divorce.""What? Sitting right in front of you..." Shawn began but then abruptly stopped, catching Xander's warning glance. If it was not for the setting, he would have relished a good tease at Xander's expense. Today, he simply responded obediently, "Yes, I'll let him know right away.""Thank you!"As the Cooper father and son left, Abigail seemed poised to say something else. But before she could, Xander was the one to break the silence."Feeling reassured now?""Are the Coopers really not going to intervene with David?" Abigail asked, still finding it hard to believe despite hearing it directly from Jerick. She feared that the Coopers were merely throwing up a smoke screen to lull t

"Mr. Zane, if I'm reassigned, what about you?" For the first time, Paxton questioned Xander's work arrangement. Not for his own sake, but out of concern for Xander."And since when do I have to explain my decisions to you?" Xander shot back.Paxton wanted to argue, but he could only mutter, "Yes" because he knew once Xander had made up his mind, he was powerless to change it.Perhaps detecting Paxton's reluctance, Xander added, "If she gets so much as a scratch, you know what to do.""Yes, sir. I understand," Paxton replied.Xander had always treated him with respect, but this was the first time he had been so harsh. At that moment, Paxton seemed to understand Dr. Sander's worries from the previous night. He had been by Xander's side for years, handling many problems and dangers for him. Now, he was being reassigned to protect Abigail, a mere assistant, their enemies would not even consider her a target. There was no need for him to be reassigned for such a task. Paxton did not un

Spotting Abigail's clear desire to avoid spending even a second more in his presence, Xander's eyebrows knitted together, a spark of irritation igniting within him. With a whirl, he stormed off, leaving Abigail to breathe a sigh of relief as she hailed a cab to the home decor mall. En route, her phone chimed with a message from Nathan.[Abigail...]'Just saying my name and not saying anything else? What's wrong with this man?' Abigail thought, her fingers flying across the screen as she typed out a flurry of words.[You saved me last night, why didn't you wait for me to wake up before leaving? Why did you leave me in the care of another man?]The message was delivered but no response came, adding to her frustration. She typed out another message, her impatience evident.[Nathan, answer me. Stop avoiding the questions.]Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Nathan responded: [Isn't it good to have your boss take care of you?]Irritation flashed in her eyes as she read his me

'So, he's making a fool out of me, huh?'Nathan: [Abigail...]Abigail: [Hmm?]Nathan: [Can we not get divorced?]Until last night, Abigail had been steadfast in her decision to divorce Nathan. But when she was cornered and he burst through the door to rescue her, she had felt a peace she could not explain. As if his presence was a shield, protecting her from harm. From that moment, her resolve to divorce wavered. Theirs had been a whirlwind marriage, they had not really lived together after that, and he had mistakenly thought she had been unfaithful, wanting a divorce. None of it was wrong. If she were in his shoes and thought he had cheated, she too would have asked for a divorce.With this realization, she replied: [It's not out of the question, but we'd need to talk in person.]Xander, seeing this message from Abigail, felt a weight lift from his heart. 'If Abigail's attitude toward Nathan is changing, then I should be able to tell her soon that Nathan and Xander are the same

As Abigail was contemplating whether to place a deposit, Melody suddenly pointed out a crucial issue. "Hey, Caterpie, wait a minute. We haven't even had our cabinets made yet. Shouldn't we hold off on the ready-made sofa?""You're right. Shouldn't we learn about the renovation process first?" Abigail had an "Aha" moment. The two of them were newbies when it came to remodeling. They barely understood the basics, let alone the details."Let's do some online research about renovation first," Melody suggested. "I've heard that renovation is a minefield. One wrong step and you're in over your head."Abigail agreed, "Then let's go home and do some research."Melody added, "The salesperson said that the banks are quick to disburse loans at the beginning of the year. If we're lucky, we could get our loan in a day or two. Once we get the loan, we can take possession of the apartment, start the renovation, and stop paying rent."The thought of owning her own cozy little nest in Florivera br

Melody was quick-tempered and found it hard to control her emotions when frustrated. "What utter nonsense! Who are you framing here?""Mel, take it easy. Let me handle this." Abigail held Melody back, remaining calm in the face of the domineering security guard. "We've stopped. What seems to be the problem?"The guard glanced at Mallory, and upon receiving a nod from her, he said, "We suspect you of stealing from a customer in the mall. We need to search you."Abigail chuckled lightly. "Search us? Who gave you that right?"The guard, oblivious to the legalities, was keen on pleasing Mallory, unaware he had no real authority to conduct a search. "Since you're not cooperating, we'll have to ask you to accompany us to the office."Melody, whom Abigail had been shielding, burst in front of her, agitated. "I'd like to see you try!"At this point, Mallory strolled over, certain of her victory. "Your refusal to be searched only proves your guilt.""And if you falsely accuse me of eatin
