Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 390
Charmayne targeted Abigail again. "Felix, you're a young, promising, handsome guy. Why did you get bewitched by that little slut Abigail? Back then when everyone was blaming that cheap girl, you guys stood up for her. Look, all of you are bewitched by her and can't distinguish between a good person and a bad person. You all are constantly thinking about money."Felix looked cold suddenly. "Charmayne, if you dare to speak about Caterpie again, I'll chop off your tongue."Charmayne said, "Oh, have you slept with her too? What's her body made of that she could make people who slept with her go crazy for her?"A slapping sound was heard.Felix mercilessly slapped Charmayne's face. He said, "Charmayne, you can freaking scold me. But if you dare to defame Caterpie, I'll kill you!"Charmayne did not think that Felix would hit her. Shrewish women like her were most afraid of people who were more ruthless than them, not the law. Felix looked intimidating at that moment. He looked so terrif

Melody was so scared that her hands trembled. She asked, "Fee, what should we do? Caterpie sent us a video call request."Felix took her phone and held her shoulder with his other hand. He said, "Mel, don't panic. I'll accept the video call and chat with her. You go wash your face and compose yourself. After that, ask your parents to have supper together. Don't let Caterpie notice something is wrong.""Okay." Melody hurriedly rushed to the washroom.Felix cleared his throat before accepting the video call. "Caterpie, Happy Easter! You must make everyone jealous of you this year by being extremely happy!""We must all be happy together." Abigail noticed from the video call that Felix's background was not his house. She asked, "Are you in Mel's house? Where is she? Why didn't she accept the video call? Did she go on a blind date behind my back?"Felix said, "What blind date? I'm spending Easter Eve with Mel at her house tonight. Her parents were worried that we'd be hungry. They wan

Abigail said, "He said it's up to his wife whether she wants to give birth to a child, and no one can force her. Nowadays many ordinary men want their wives to give birth to a son. It's like there's a throne in their family to inherit. And look at him, he's the CEO of the Zane Corporation. His family really has a fortune that needs someone to inherit. But the thing that he cares about the most is his wife's wishes."Melody responded, "Wealthy, handsome, loyal men like him are almost extinct. His wife probably saved the galaxy in her previous life. And that's why she got to marry him."Abigail replied, "So, stop thinking about it."Melody said, "He's such a nice man. I should actually think more about it."Abigail was speechless.Melody continued saying, "Hey Fee, just say it if you have something to say. Stop being weird."Felix said, "I've told you two that Xander isn't a good man. But you two didn't listen to me."Abigail responded, "All right. Let's not talk about others. Let

They grew up together. So, Abigail knew very well what Melody and Felix were worried about.She smiled as she said, "Mel, Fee, don't worry. I'm not the old Abigail anymore. I know very clearly what I'm doing. Nathan is my legal husband. I'm his legal wife. He's treating me well. So, I want to treat him well too. And I've thought about it. When I meet up with him, I'll tell him honestly about what happened back then. If he minds my past and doesn't want to spend his life with me, I'll respect his decision."Felix supported Abigail's decision. "Caterpie, no matter what, you should always protect yourself. Don't allow anyone who's unworthy to hurt you."Melody said, "Caterpie, you must remember that you have us."Abigail responded, "I know."They then chatted for a while before ending the video call.Abigail put down her phone and laid on the bed. But she could not fall asleep.Abigail knew in her heart what Felix and Melody were worried about. She was also unwilling to trust any m

Abigail thought, 'I think I'm finished!'The images in my mind are getting increasingly unusual.'If this continues, I guess I'll not be able to sleep tonight.'What should I do?'What can I do?'What should I actually do?'Abigail finally got an idea after rolling on her bed repeatedly. She hurriedly opened the music application on her phone. She searched for calming music.But after listening to it for a long time, not one of the unwanted images in her mind disappeared...She thought, 'I'll surely not be able to sleep tonight!'...Meanwhile, Xander could not fall asleep either.After finishing chatting with Abigail on WhatsApp, he was reluctant to put his phone away. He seriously read every message, every single word that Abigail sent tonight. He was afraid of missing any of her messages.The words that Abigail sent seemed to transform into voices.As though, she was whispering in his ear.He heard her calling him Nathan.He heard her saying she would only love her hu

Emma quietly wiped her tears. She raised her head to look at Abigail. She unexpectedly noticed Abigail's eyes were red too. She asked, "Abigail, what's wrong?""I'm fine." Abigail stretched her hand to gently pinch Emma's face. "Why isn't it painful? Am I dreaming again?"Emma was amused. She raised her hand to pinch Abigail's face and asked, "Silly, is it painful now?"Abigail said, "Hurts, it hurts... So, I'm not dreaming now. I'm actually looking at you."After Emma left, Abigail dreamed about meeting Emma more than once. She dreamed about Emma every day, especially in recent days after knowing Ron had always been monitoring Emma.She dreamed that Ron brought Emma back to Valtara. She dreamed that Emma's body was covered with blood. She also dreamed that Ron broke Emma's legs and asked her if she still wanted to run away...This morning, Abigail was woken up by this nightmare."Of course, this is the real me! This is real life!" Emma grabbed Abigail as she said, "It's dark no

Emma filled the table with food very quickly, as if she were performing magic. There was beef, lamb, and a lot of seafood. The last food she served was lobsters.Abigail jokingly said, "Don't tell me you raise lobsters at your farm too."Emma said, "We don't. But we're near the sea. If we want to eat fresh lobsters, we can just drive to the seaside market to buy them."Abigail loved lobsters. She liked to eat them very much. At this moment, she wished to just stay here and not leave. She said, "Emma, what should I do? You're treating me to such good food and drinks. I don't want to leave anymore."Emma then took some food and put it in Abigail's bowl as she said, "If you have time, stay here for a few more days. And when you're free in the future, you can always come here."Abigail asked, "Are you planning on living here permanently? Does the farm owner treat you well? Are you paid well? Do you have enough money to spend?"Emma smiled. "Abigail, to be frank with you, I own this f

Abigail said, "You're right. So, don't worry."Emma did not want to talk about Ron anymore, nor did she want to allow herself to be influenced by him for nothing good. She asked, "Abigail, how are you and your husband?"Abigail said, "We're doing fine.""Give me a second. I have something to give you," Emma said as she hurried upstairs. She returned with a jewelry box and said, "Abigail, this is for you."Abigail took the box and asked, "What is it?"Emma said, "You'll know after you open it."Abigail opened the box and discovered a ruby necklace inside. The ruby was the size of a thumb. As Xander's assistant, Abigail possessed the basic ability to identify gemstones. The exceptional color and patterns of the ruby showcased its extraordinary value to everyone.Abigail dared not accept such a precious gift and said, "Emma, you shouldn't give me such an expensive gift. Look, I came to visit you without even bringing a fruit basket."Emma specially prepared this gift for Abigail.

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
