Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 526
Mallory tightly grabbed Abigail. Her grip was so strong that Abigail's arm felt painful. She said, "Abigail, will you stop being friends with me because I slept with Xander?"Abigail looked at Mallory. She actually felt that Mallory really wanted to be friends with her. But Abigail could not accept being friends with someone who shared different values with her. She responded, "Ms. Guzman, we were never friends...""Abigail, from now on, I don't need you to help me win Xander over. I won't talk about him in front of you either. Can we continue to be friends?" Mallory asked. Mallory was very worried. There was even a hint of pleading in her tone.Abigail was soft-hearted again. Just when she was thinking about how to reject her, a gentle voice could be heard from behind. "Mallory, who are you talking to?"Mallory's facial expression changed instantly. She immediately strode toward that person. "Mom, why are you here?"It was Mallory's mother, Daisy.When Abigail turned her head, s

Mallory suddenly shouted hysterically, "You don't allow me to have any interaction with Abigail. Help me think of ways to win over Xander then. Or you take me away from Max and get me out of Florivera. I don't want to stay a second longer with that psycho."Daisy immediately pulled her into her arms. She patted Mallory's back as she gently comforted, "Mallory, be obedient. Endure a little longer. Everything will be fine soon."Mallory pushed Daisy away. She then rolled her sleeves up. She showed Daisy her arms which were covered in bruises. She said, "Look, all these are caused by Max. When he gets maltreated outside, he'll beat me when he's home. If I stay any longer in that house, I'll be beaten to death by him soon. Why do you still keep asking me to endure it? Am I really your daughter?"A slapping sound was heard.Daisy brutally slapped Mallory's face. Her face darkened as she said, "I gave birth to you and raised you. I provided you with the best living conditions. And now wh

Daisy responded, "After all these years, you're still the person who treats me the best."The other person said, "If I don't treat you well, who else will I treat well? I've made many copies of the information. I'll send one copy to you tomorrow."Daisy replied, "Okay. Do you have the contact information of the old lady?"The other person said, "I'll send her number to you later."Daisy answered, "Okay."After the conversation ended, Daisy held her phone tightly. A vicious glint flashed past her eyes.She thought, 'I worked so hard to get everything that I have today. I won't allow anyone to ruin it.'Those who shouldn't appear in this city must leave...'...Abigail was done shopping. She bought a casual long dress, two loose T-shirts, and two pairs of shorts.When she was not at work, she liked to stay at home. Most of the time, one T-shirt and a pair of shorts would be enough to get her through the entire summer.After that, she went home by train. She then stopped by the

Melody made a silly face at Felix as she said, "Hmm, you're just jealous that I can kiss Stinky Caterpie, and you can't."Felix rolled his eyes. "You've said she's Stinky Caterpie. So, she must be stinky. Who wants to kiss her?"Abigail joined the argument. "Do you think you're sweet?"Melody said, "Stinky Caterpie smells so good. Fee, you're the one who's stinky. You filthy man."When Abigail heard the words "filthy man", she could not help but remember the entanglement between Xander and Mallory.She pondered before asking, "Fee, I'm about to ask you a question about men. You must answer me honestly without withholding."Felix and Melody immediately changed their happy expression to look serious when they saw Abigail's solemn face.Felix said, "Go ahead and ask."Melody got closer to them. Melody and Abigail just stared at Felix.Felix felt uncomfortable being stared at by them. He instinctively moved back. "Just ask. Don't use this kind of terrifying gaze to look at me. I'm

Melody breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness it wasn't Mr. Zane. If he messed around, I'd be very sad."Abigail questioned, "Why would you be sad?"Melody answered, "Ever since I met Mr. Zane, whenever I read novels with dominant male characters, I'll automatically imagine the male lead with his attractive, good-looking face. If he cheated, I'd never be able to read novels in the future."Abigail was speechless.Melody was naïve and could be easily fooled. But Felix could not be easily deceived.He made unkind comments, "Those wealthy people like to mess around so much that you and I can't imagine. You two don't expect those people to be virtuous. Don't think that they won't touch anyone other than their wives."Abigail asked, "Do you think the same way too?"Felix replied, "I'm not rich."Melody said, "Who says only wealthy men mess around? If you look at the news online, the number of poor men and ugly men who cheated is a lot higher than wealthy men and handsome men."

Felix felt hurt and softly said, "You don't even remember what he looks like. Why is he more important to you than me in your heart?"Abigail explained, "Both of you are equally important to me. I also wouldn't allow Nathan to speak ill of either of you in front of me. Besides, I've already told him long ago that you both are very important to me."Felix and Melody were extremely pleased to hear these words. "You mentioned us to Nathan?"Abigail said, "You two are my childhood friends, my best friends, and the two most important people in my life. How could I not mention you to him?"Felix was very satisfied with Abigail's attitude. "I'm not going to speak ill of Nathan this time. In fact, I think he should be the one to grow old with you."Abigail was curious. "Why did you suddenly change your opinion of him?"Felix said, "Of course it's because of you."Felix and Melody grew up with Abigail. So, they understood her better than anyone else. Abigail had always felt insecure due

Melody said, "He's not in Florivera right now. It might be troublesome for him to get a new SIM card. It's really frustrating."Abigail said, "It's good enough as long as he's fine. He can buy a new phone since he lost it. You guys don't have to worry."Felix added, "The moving boxes I bought online have arrived. After eating, I'll go to the courier station to pick up the boxes. Let's take advantage of these few days when we're relatively free, start packing some things, and move them to the new apartments.""Sure." Abigail had the same plan in mind. As they continued their moving process, their belongings gradually diminished. It was great to move in effortlessly with just a backpack once the new apartments were ready for occupancy.Melody said, "I mentioned you two to my boyfriend today. He's free this weekend and wants to treat you two to dinner. I want you to assess him thoroughly."Abigail commented, "That guy seems quite conscientious."Felix muttered, "One who offers unsol

Melody kept talking while tidying up, "Our new apartments have a separate study with a spacious bookshelf, so we won't have to worry about running out of space for books anymore in the future."Abigail said, "Yeah, once we move into the new apartments, we can buy books freely. We can buy a lot of them."Felix said, "I saw someone selling an out-of-print book online a few days ago. It made me so envious. Do you guys know how much that person was asking for?"Abigail and Melody asked, "How much?"Felix raised a hand. "This amount!"Abigail and Melody guessed, "50 thousand dollars?"Felix held his chest and said, "500 thousand dollars!"Melody said, "Why doesn't he just rob it? Good books should be shared with people who truly appreciate them. Isn't it a waste to keep them in the hands of someone who doesn't value them?""500 thousand dollars? Oh my! That study must be even more valuable than what I've seen." Abigail repeated the amount, and her mind thought about the study in the

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
