Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 232
Melody raised her head and glanced at him before saying, "What a pansy."Malcolm turned around to ask her, "What did you say?"Melody retorted, "If you're not eating, you should leave. Stop affecting our appetite.""I'll leave then. Who would want to eat with you anyways." After Malcolm left, he instantly regretted it. 'Am I a buffoon? Why did I leave just because someone told me to?' he wondered. With nowhere to go, he moved toward the smoking section."Malcolm?" Hearing someone call for him, Malcolm immediately turned around. Almost everyone was meeting and gathering here today; even Max was here at this North Floriveran restaurant."Is it really you? When did you like North Floriveran cuisine?" Max walked toward Malcolm while asking, "Could it be that your new girlfriend is a North Floriveran?"Malcolm was still furious. "What new girlfriend? I just went to the wrong place. What about you? Why did you come to this kind of place?"Max lit a cigarette and said, "One of the boss

Malcolm did not have the heart to argue with her this instant. He squeezed to Xander's side to sit down and said, "Xander, I met Max just now and made him lose a big business deal. Wait, that's incorrect. I witnessed him losing out on a huge business deal. I think he would put the blame on me, so I came here to hide. With you here, he wouldn't dare to do anything reckless."Xander knew deep down what kind of person Max was. He was not ignorant of the things that Max had done. As long as Max did not lay a hand on his things, he would look the other way.Xander pushed the silver-rimmed glasses on his nose and said calmly, "The business deal had already reached the dining table, and he still lost it. Max truly is an expert.""No one told him to look down on others. He even said that the other person was broke down to the bone." When he said this, Malcolm remembered the words he had said previously.He did not mean to discriminate and just wanted to make them angry. Malcolm proceeded t

Xander asked, "You haven't reached home yet?"His tone did not sound too good, so Abigail was slightly alarmed. She was scared that the holiday she just got would be gone. She never would have thought that Xander was worried about her safety and had called her up because she did not reply to Nathan's message.She replied, "I've reached home. Did something happen to you?"The other end of the call was silent for a moment. Xander's deep voice sounded again, "I want to handle some personal affairs in the next few days. All of you can get a holiday.""You've already told me just now." He called in the middle of the night to tell her about the holiday again. Xander must have turned silly from happiness because of the date he was about to have with his wife.Xander asked her, despite knowing the answer, "I've told you already?""You didn't tell me; I must've made a mistake." The CEO could never be wrong, so only she could be the one in the wrong. "Well, good night, Mr. Zane."After wi

Nathan replied: [You shouldn't forget that he's not servicing you for free. You spent money, and you're the customer. Don't worry about whether we'll be able to stay friends or not.]Abigail thought what he said made sense and agreed: [I know.]Nathan typed again: [Abigail...]'Again, it's like this again,' Abigail thought. She pouted her lips and typed: [You should stop calling my name and not saying anything else.]Xander had so much he wanted to say to her but did not know how to say it out loud. Ultimately, he could only reply with a single response: [Never mind.]Abigail thought glumly about what he meant by "Never mind". Could he not take the initiative to mention his job to allow her to know more about him? Nathan knew her job inside and out while she was the same as when they registered for marriage. She did not even know what exactly he does for a career. She asked him: [Nathan, are you busy with work?]Nathan replied: [I'm not very busy recently.]If he were busy, he w

'On the day that we do officially meet, what happens if he speaks differently from when he chats on WhatsApp or when our ideals don't match? Never mind, I won't think about it. Everything will fall in place in the end,' Abigail thought.She massaged her sore neck and noticed that it was already late in the night. Abigail got up to wash her face in the bathroom. She then earnestly did her skincare routine before lying comfortably on her bed. She planned to watch two minutes of the news.She was usually more concerned about current affairs and financial news and rarely watched any entertainment news. She recognized Stella, who was number one on most popular searches today. She tapped into the website to take a closer look. It wrote #StellaForChloeBay#.Chloe Bay was the female lead character for Abigail's romance comic series that was situated in the Republican era. It was also a very popular 2D character that the readers adored. Usually, reputable actors were unwilling to accept acti

If it were any other issue, Abigail might not be able to give any feedback. She could merely be Stella's loyal listener. In this case, she had the right to speak about it as the original author of the comic.After she finished listening to Stella, Abigail spoke slowly yet gently to her, "Stella, for every other person, there'll be another interpretation of Hamlet. You don't need to care too much about the original author's intentions. You just need to perform according to your understanding.""I also thought so, and I used to think that this was how you do it. It's just that this time..." Stella was unsure Abigail could understand her worry. The more she cared about this, the more she wanted to perform better, hence the more she worried she would not be able to do it well."Stella, I've also read this comic. Do you want to listen to my interpretation of Chloe Bay as a character?" Abigail's voice was soft and could magically soothe the restlessness in anyone's mind.Stella exclaimed

"Lucas is even worse than Ron." No one else might know how horrendous Lucas was, but Stella knew better than anyone."Stella, regardless of what happens, you can't take your body as a joke..." Before Abigail could finish speaking, the sound of scraping and Lucas's sleepy voice came from the other end of the phone, "Honey, who is it that made you not sleep in the middle of the night, and have you run out to call them? Do you have a paramour behind my back? Hmmm?" Abigail had no intention of listening in on the private matters between their married life and quickly hung up the phone.She was exhausted initially, but after chatting so much, her head cleared up much more. She got up and turned on her computer. She then wrote a two-thousand-word letter. She also used her pen name to register a Facebook account and followed Stella. She then sent this letter to her via private messaging.Abigail did not like to share her life on social media, so she did not register an account. If it was n

Xander thought that his friends were unreliable in that aspect. Besides them, only the two old ladies at this home were able to help him. The two old ladies also understood the actual situation between husband and wife. They could teach him based on his specific situation.Margaret was still very wary and asked, "Then why did you let them bring so many things here?"Xander was crying and laughing at Margaret's words as he replied, "As a member of the younger generation, shouldn't I bring stuff when I come to see you, Grandma?"Only then did Margaret feel relieved. "It's all because of the foolish things you did last time, you rascal. You've made this old lady so frightened because of it."Xander helped Margaret into the house, then had the butler and housemaids leave before saying, "Grandma, where's Abigail's grandma?"Margaret replied, "She's feeling slightly unwell today. The doctor gave her some medication, and she's resting in her room."Xander immediately stood up. "I'll go

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
