Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 353
Xander was worried Abigail would have another bad dream, so he lay by her side for a long time. He only stood up and left after he was certain she was peacefully asleep.Unexpectedly, Esther—who was leaning against the door and eavesdropping—lost her balance and fell into the room when Xander opened the door."Ahh..."Xander covered Esther's mouth before she could fully let out a scream. Then, he dragged her out of the door.After he shut the door, he said to her in a low voice, "I'll skin you alive if you wake up your sister-in-law."Esther pouted her lips in dissatisfaction. "You're so biased! You don't want your sister anymore now that you have my sister-in-law."Xander skillfully changed the topic. "How dare you eavesdrop while leaning against the door! Tell me, how should I punish you?""Grandma told me to always keep an eye on you two and report advancements in your relationship to her at all times," Esther said while running. She was worried her brother would throw her do

Abigail thought for a bit. "How about this? We'll meet around Easter Tuesday. Since Easter will be over and we'll still be on vacation, Mr. Zane surely won't have the time to mind my business. He probably won't notice if I go out for a day or two."Emma said, "Then I won't give you my precise address for now. I'll still have time to run if Ron has also tapped your phone. We'll get in touch again once you're in Neese."Abigail understood her worries and said, "Alright. I'll contact you when I'm there."Emma continued, "I've only been out for over a month, but it feels like it's been a year. When I first escaped, I had bad dreams throughout that period. I didn't sleep well every day. I was so scared that I'd open my eyes to find myself in that familiar room with that demon-like man lying by my side."Abigail felt so bad she teared up. "Don't be scared, Emma. You're free. No matter how strong that monster—Ron—is, he won't have the ability to have his way in Francovia. Forget about the

The words "You're awake" that came out of Xander's mouth sounded so rich it could impregnate one's ears.Abigail nodded. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Zane. I woke up late and put off my work in the morning.""There isn't any work in the morning." When Abigail got close, Xander saw her red eyes and felt his chest tighten. "You cried? Why'd you cry?"Abigail quickly shook her head. "I didn't cry. It's just the foam from the face wash that got into my eyes."Xander was dubious. However, he did not force her since she was unwilling to tell him.He set down the tablet in his hands and walked toward her. "I got someone to prepare lunch. Let's eat first.""Alright."Just as Abigail was about to follow Xander to the dining room, Xander's personal phone on the coffee table rang.Abigail stopped walking and watched Xander answer the phone.Xander accepted the phone call, and Ron's angry voice sounded from the other end of the line, "Mr. Zane, watch your wife and stop letting her get in my way."

Xander smiled as he said, "Yes. Ron called. But he won't dare to do anything to my wife. Don't worry.""Does he... Does he know about Emma's whereabouts?" Ron called right after Abigail received news about Emma. So, she could not help but suspect that Ron already knew where Emma was hiding.'If Ron got to know Emma's whereabouts from me, if Emma falls into his hands again, she'll end up dead.'The more she thought about it, the more terrified she was. Abigail was so scared that she tightly clenched her hands on her thigh.Xander ordered the chef to bring the dishes. He then served Abigail a bowl of soup. He said, "It's cold. Drink some soup to warm your body."Abigail's whole body was cold due to the various guesses in her mind. She indeed needed this bowl of soup to warm her body. But she was not in the mood to drink it. She asked, "Mr. Zane, Ron knows where Emma is, right?"Xander did not answer her immediately just now because he wanted to give her some hope. But since she ins

Xander could read the fear in Abigail's eyes. But since he already said that, he thought he should just finish saying it. Or else, she would just imagine things more. He said, "Abigail, it's not my words that are cruel, it's the society that's cruel. And it's also a brutal fact that Emma has to face."Abigail had not seen her mother. And her father passed away early. She had seen too many of the realities of society in the past twenty-four years. There were many things that she knew better than anyone else. It was just that she was unwilling to accept them. Occasionally, she would even naively think that she could get anything done as long as she put in the effort.She repeatedly loosened her clenched fists and clenched them again. She asked, "So, what you're saying is that as long as Ron doesn't let her go in this lifetime, Emma can never break free from his control except through death?"Xander pushed the silver-rimmed glasses on his nose. He then collectedly made a sound, "Hmm."

Abigail raised her eyebrows as she said, "Then tell me why you want to help me?"'Because you're my wife!' Xander thought this reason alone could clear Abigail's doubt. But he could not take this risk before she had the slightest affection for him. He answered, "Must I need a reason to help you? Just take it as I'm in a good mood today and want to do something kind, okay?"Abigail thought, 'He wants to do something kind when he's in a good mood.'What if he isn't in a good mood?'They just control a person's life as they like. Are they not afraid of bad karma?'"Mr. Zane, thank you for your good intention. But I don't need your help." Abigail knew very well that an ordinary person could never gain an advantage from making a deal with demons."Abigail!" He called her name with emphasis. His gaze under the silver-rimmed glasses was terrifyingly fierce. This was the true Xander.Xander did not want her to foolishly think he was a harmless little sheep that she could manipulate just

Xander knew Ron's way of doing things very well. But he did not expect Ron to use this kind of approach on his own wife. He said, "You're using the Blue family to threaten Emma to come back to you. Her heart will only be further away from you if you do this."Ron responded, "As long as I can have her with me, is where her heart truly belongs important?"Xander said, "Is it not?"Ron asked, "Let me ask you, if one day Abigail wants to run away from you, will you take drastic measures to make her stay?"Xander was very sure when he answered, "That day won't come."Ron said, "I said if."Xander replied, "I won't."Ron asked, "You won't? Can you be so sure?"Xander answered, "I'm very sure."He thought, 'If Abigail still wants to escape from me after she knows my identity, it must be because I've done something that hurt her. I won't shamelessly make her stay if I've hurt her.'Ron smiled as he said, "Xander, I hope you can stick to your words. Or else, I'll personally come and r

Abigail knew Cassandra's intentions. She did not want to be too sentimental, so she said, "Grandma, I want to speak to Grandma Margaret."Margaret was already sitting beside Cassandra waiting. When she heard Abigail say she wanted to talk to her, she immediately squeezed in front of the camera. She intentionally put on a serious, but kind look on her wrinkled face. She said, "Hmm, naughty Abigail, you finally remember me."Abigail sweetly responded, "Grandma, I always remember you. I didn't just finally remember you."Margaret replied, "I was just joking with you. Anyway, you two can't spend Easter with us this year due to busy work schedules. Next year you two must celebrate Easter with us together."Abigail nodded vigorously as she said, "Yes. For sure."Abigail then had some small talk with the two elderly people before ending the video call.She still had to go handle some work with Xander today. If everything went smoothly, they could finish their work by the afternoon. They
