Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 304
Keith fearfully asked, "Mr. Zane, did I do something wrong?"Xander answered coldly, "Don't be overly attentive to Abigail when there's nothing wrong. She isn't even interested in the way I look, let alone you."Xander indirectly said Keith was ugly.Keith felt very wronged as he asked, "Mr. Zane, when was I overly attentive to Abigail? Moreover, both of us are your assistants. We spend more time together than with our families. Our working efficiency will improve if our relationship is good. Isn't that a good thing? Why are you blaming me?"Xander responded, "She's married. You can treat her well. But don't go overboard."Without thinking, Keith blurted out, "But you clearly treat her a lot better than I do. She's married. And you're married too. If you can treat her well, why can't I?"Xander said, "It's perfectly justified for me to treat my wife well!"Keith foolishly said, "I didn't say you shouldn't treat your wife well."Xander scolded, "Get lost!"Keith was speechless.

Xander knew why Abigail was worried. Because to her, he was merely her superior. She would definitely feel scared and worried after what he did to her.So, he must make her feel safe to bring down the guard she had against him. He wanted to make her go to his house willingly.Xander pondered before replying to Abigail this time. [He was drunk. He probably genuinely mistook you for someone else. I'll tell him not to drink when he's with you to avoid this happening again.]Abigail responded: [So, you insist on me staying with him?][I'll be worried if you stay outside alone.][You know nothing! If you're with me now, I'll kick you like how I kicked Xander.][You kicked Xander?]Abigail replied: [So what, if I kicked him? That's because he hugged me.]After she sent that message, she angrily threw her phone aside. She furiously mumbled, "Asshole! All of you are assholes!"Meanwhile, Xander lowered his head to look at his calf. More than ten days had passed, and his leg was not in

Abigail knew the house that Xander stayed in would definitely not be small. But as soon as she stepped into where he stayed, she was astonished by the garden that was tens of thousands of square feet big.She thought, 'It's so nice to be rich. No matter where rich people buy their houses, they'll always be the best. Unlike me, an ordinary working-class person. I'll need a thirty-year loan just to buy a housing unit.'The garden was huge. The house itself was two-story. Abigail was assigned to stay in the second-floor guest room on the left. Esther would stay in the innermost guest room on the left. And the master bedroom was on the right.Esther was very friendly. She followed Abigail the whole time. She said, "Abigail, everything in the room was prepared for you. You can just use any of them."Abigail responded, "Thank you!""Follow me." Esther then brought Abigail to a large closet. She opened all the cabinet doors. There were bags, jewelry, and various beautiful clothes and sho

This reply from Abigail brutally hit Xander's heart like a bullet.Before he had someone to buy those things, he even specially called Samantha to ask her what girls liked. Samantha told him every girl liked clothes, bags, shoes, and jewelry.That was why he put in the effort to prepare these new year gifts for Abigail. He thought Abigail would be happy just like Samantha said. But to his surprise, she did not like those things at all.Xander hid his disappointment as he continued to reply to Abigail. [What do you like then?]Abigail asked: [Answer me. Can you return them?]If Xander did not like the things that he bought, he would just throw them away. He had never returned any items. He answered: [If you don't like the things that I bought, tell me what you like then. I'll buy them. There's no need to return items that I already bought.]Abigail replied: [I like money!]Everyone liked money. But very few people would just tell him that directly like Abigail did. Xander found h

Abigail replied: [Will you listen to me?]When Xander saw that message, he happily gave a faint smile. 'We haven't even lived together, and she already wants to control me. But I'm happy to let her take control.' Xander thought before responding: [Of course, I will.]Abigail texted: [If you listen to me, ask someone to return all these clothes, bags, and jewelry.]Abigail left Xander no choice. He responded: [These are things that girls will use in their daily lives. Why do you insist on returning them?]Abigail sent him an aggrieved emoticon and a piece of text: [You said you'll listen to me. But now you don't. You don't keep your word. And we still have a long life ahead of us. How can I trust you?]Xander helplessly shook his head as he typed: [Okay. I'll ask someone to return all the clothes.]Abigail replied: [Yes. Good boy!]Xander was speechless.He thought, 'This is the first time she's said I'm a good boy!'Meanwhile, Esther wholeheartedly pulled Abigail to try on the

Abigail noticed Esther was in shock. She asked again, "Do you know Nathan?"From Abigail's words and behavior, Esther guessed Abigail probably did not know Xander was Nathan.But Esther did not understand why her brother wanted to hide this from Abigail.However, she could not tell Abigail the truth if her brother wanted to keep this a secret. Or else she would be punished."I don't know if I know him. Abigail, rest for a while. I'll go and talk to my brother for a moment." She ran off after she said that.She hurriedly ran to find Xander. There was no one in the second-floor study room and the master bedroom. She then ran to the first floor. She shouted as she ran, "Xander, Xander! Where are you?"Xander was in the living room on the first floor. He was holding the latest fashion magazine and reading it. He furrowed his dashing eyebrows slightly when he heard her yelling. He said, "I'm not deaf. Why are you shouting so loudly?"Esther ran up to him. She then squeezed to sit bes

They respectfully bowed when they saw Xander. "Mr. Zane, good afternoon! We came to take back the clothes, shoes, bags, and so on as per your request."Xander nodded to greet them. He then spoke to Esther. "Go and see if Abigail is sleeping. If she's sleeping, ask them to wait for a while until she's awake.""Okay. I'll go now." After Esther responded, she then speedily ran upstairs to the second floor again.She was afraid she might disturb Abigail's rest, so she deliberately walked softly when she was on the second floor. She gently walked to Abigail's room and said, "Abigail..."She called her name very softly. If Abigail was sleeping, Esther would definitely not be able to wake her up. If Abigail was awake, she would most probably hear Esther.Very quickly, the door was opened from the inside. Abigail appeared at the door. She asked, "What's wrong?"Esther pointed downstairs as she said, "The people who came to take back the clothes, shoes, and bags are here. I came up to see

Esther pursed her lips as she said, "Xander, you've got a double standard. I'm almost the same age as Abigail. You control everything I do as if I'm a kid. But Abigail can do whatever she wants to do. And you even said she has the final say in this household. You're being way too good to her."Xander did not realize that if Esther did not bring that up. He instinctively wanted to treat Abigail well. He said, "She's my wife. If I don't treat her well, should I just let other men treat her well?""Seems like you're right." Esther nodded to agree as she said, "Then you should treat her well. Don't let other men steal her away."Xander stood up and said, "I'm going up to change my clothes. Go and call your sister-in-law. We're going to the supermarket together."Esther thought she heard wrongly again. She asked, "Xander, are you saying you want to go to the supermarket with us?"Xander responded, "What's the problem?"Esther answered, "I've never seen you go to the supermarket growin

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
