Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 474
Abigail immediately took her phone out to search online for the travel guide for The Shawdosa Sea. There were a few viewpoints. The closest to them was The Love Trees.The Love Trees not only offered a beautiful view of the lake, but more importantly, it featured two trees intertwined with each other.These two trees grew by the lake, and they intertwined with each other. From afar, they looked like two people hugging each other. That was why that viewpoint was called The Love Trees.Rumors had it that as long as couples made a wish under The Love Trees, they would have a sweet and happy life together for the rest of their lives. And that was the reason it attracted many couples to take photos here.Even from a distance, Abigail could see the two towering trees that intertwined with each other by the lake.A viewing platform was built under the trees. There were many people on the platform.When the car got closer to the viewpoint, Abigail could see the people on the viewing plat

She thought, 'I've heard that many men that are impotent have twisted minds and will do some terrible things.'Abigail quietly sized Xander up as she thought again, 'He probably isn't a psychopath, right?'Xander called out, "Abigail..."Abigail tried hard to dismiss those messed-up thoughts in her mind. She responded, "Mr. Zane, please let me know if you have any orders."Xander asked, "What are you thinking about?"'I've heard that you're impotent. So, Mrs. Zane feels as if she isn't married. No wonder you suspected she cheated on you back then...' She could only say those words in her mind. She could never tell him what she was really thinking about. So, she responded, "I-I wasn't thinking about anything."Xander was speechless.He thought, 'Little liar!'The way this little liar looked at me was telling me that she was thinking about something. But she actually lied to me about it.'Well, I can't do anything if she doesn't want to tell me.'The car left The Love Trees. It

Abigail did not know why she used such cheesy words. She was so shy that her face blushed. She texted: [I'll stop chatting with you all now.]She wanted to video call Cassandra. But when she turned her head, she saw a man who was in his thirties sizing her up with bad intentions.His gaze made Abigail feel physically uncomfortable. Just when she was about to stride away, the man blocked her way. "Gorgeous, are you on a vacation alone?"Abigail cautiously looked around and asked, "What do you want?"The man then took his phone out and said, "I'm traveling alone too. Let's exchange phone numbers. You can find me if you need someone to accompany you.""My friend isn't far in front." Nastiness was written all over the man's face, he could not even hide it. Abigail turned around and wanted to walk away. Unexpectedly, the man grabbed her and said, "Gorgeous, you came to this kind of place alone. Aren't you looking to have some fun? Why are you pretending to be so reserved?"Abigail squ

"Ah!!!"The man whose arm was twisted screamed miserably."Where did you come from to meddle in our business? Do you want to die?" The other men immediately surrounded Xander. They took out the daggers from their pockets and wanted to stab him.The sunlight shone on the daggers. The reflected light flashed before Abigail's eyes. Her heart trembled slightly. "Mr. Zane, be careful!"With almost no hesitation, she ran out from behind the two men and wanted to help Xander.But she was blocked by a muscular body.Xander grabbed her and forcefully pulled her back.Before the few men could touch Xander's shirt, Paxton appeared at the scene out of nowhere and kicked the few suspects down one by one.The few men realized they had encountered a tough man. They got up and wanted to run away.After the danger had been cleared, Abigail let out a breath of relief. But very quickly, she remembered she could not allow them to run away. She said, "Mr. Zane, they might be human traffickers. We

He was pressing her very strongly. Abigail felt as if her shoulder blades were about to be crushed.She was in so much pain that she frowned. "Mr. Zane, the pain. It's very painful..."Xander immediately loosened his grip and asked, "Do you understand what I said?"Abigail freed herself from his restraint and walked two steps backward. "Understood."He then said, "Your life is very precious. Do you understand?"Abigail raised her head to meet his gaze. This was her first time looking at his eyes so closely.At this moment, they only had each other in their eyes...His gaze under the silver-rimmed glasses was very serious. He absolutely meant what he said.He always managed to use the shortest sentence to touch her soft spot.He definitely did not know that the more he spoke like this and the better he treated her, the more she was willing to give her life for him.Xander looked at her as he asked, "Did they hurt you earlier?"Abigail shook her head. "I noticed in time that s

Only then Abigail realized she was still holding the camera in her hand. She quickly handed it back. "I'm so sorry. I almost forgot about it. I really have to thank both of you for just now. If you guys didn't help me just now, I might've been captured by them.""You're welcome. But we didn't actually help much." Abigail's words made the two guys feel embarrassed.They would not have helped if Abigail had not taken their camera away. They thought they should not meddle in someone else's family issues.The guy spoke again after he paused for a moment, "Can we exchange contact?"Before Abigail could speak, Xander, who was standing beside her gloomily said, "She's married.""Okay," Abigail responded. She then took her phone out and said, "Let's exchange our phone numbers."That guy was extremely happy. He immediately took his phone out and wanted to exchange contact with Abigail. He said, "My name is Ronald. What's your name...?""It's none of your business what's her name." Xander

Indeed, Abigail wanted to get one for Nathan. But she did not know Nathan's size. She vaguely remembered he was very tall and had a great body figure. She thought his size was probably almost the same as Xander's. She asked, "Mr. Zane, what's your size?"Xander thought, 'I didn't expect she'd take the initiative to buy clothes for me.' Xander was very happy. He immediately told her his clothing size.The salesperson took out the same style of jacket as Abigail's but for men according to Xander's clothing size and asked, "Do you want to try it on?"Xander nodded. "Sure."He then took the jacket and put it on. Upon seeing it, the salesperson repeatedly complimented, "You're handsome and have a great body figure. You look good in all kinds of clothes."Abigail nodded to agree. "It's indeed very nice. I want to buy this. Please help me pack it."She then turned her head to ask Xander, "Mr. Zane, thank you for trying on the jacket for me! Have you chosen a jacket for yourself?"Xande

Within roughly 15 minutes, the car arrived at Stardust Bazaar. Vehicles were not permitted entry into the bustling marketplace, so they parked nearly a mile away and made the rest of the journey on foot. Having learned from earlier, Xander carefully parked the car before assisting Abigail out, and the two then proceeded to walk toward the bazaar.Handsome man, beautiful woman, both exuding an air of charisma. They were a sight to behold wherever they went. Passersby could not help but stare, many assuming they were a couple. Muted whispers followed them. "What a lovely couple! With genes that good, they ought to have several kids."After numerous instances of being mistaken for a couple, and seeing Xander not displaying any signs of discomfort, Abigail stopped attempting to correct the assumptions. Instead, she subconsciously tried to maintain a distance from him. She kept a few steps behind, careful not to walk alongside him, hoping that would dispel any misunderstandings. But whene

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
