Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 534
Abigail said, "I really never thought about having sex with him."Suddenly, Abigail began to understand Mallory's actions. 'Even knowing that there would be no future with that man, yet still rushing toward him like a moth to a flame, all because of the mesmerizing charm he possessed. It's hard to turn back once someone is under a spell.'While they were talking, the personal phone that Abigail had placed aside buzzed twice. Abigail immediately turned around, picked up her phone, and checked on her WhatsApp. To her delight, it was a message from Nathan this time.[Abigail.] Nathan only texted one word.Abigail instantly typed a long string of words and replied to him: [Did you get a new phone? Did you get your SIM card back? You know what? I thought something happened to you when you didn't reply to my messages yesterday. I was worried and restless all day. Leave me the contact information for one of your colleagues, or do you have an alternative number? So that I can contact you n

These words made Abigail feel depressed. She asked: [What are you worried about?]After sending the message, Nathan took some time before replying: [I'm worried that my appearance and identity will disappoint you. I'm afraid I may not be the husband you envision, and you may not want me.]The words "you may not want me" struck Abigail's heart like a poisoned arrow, causing her momentary breathlessness and intense pain.'People often say that a happy childhood can heal a lifetime, while an unfortunate childhood takes a lifetime to heal. This statement truly applies to both Nathan and me.'Felix and Melody noticed Abigail's unpleasant expression and approached her. "Caterpie, what's wrong?"Abigail shook her head. "Nothing."Felix asked cautiously, "Is something happening with Nathan?""I'm fine, really. We were just discussing our meeting," said Abigail.Abigail took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions. Then, she replied to Nathan: [Nathan, I'm your wife. No matter what you

'Xander started chatting with Abigail just after being out of danger. Abigail was indeed not his remedy but a poisonous substance that could take his life!'As Dr. Sander complained in her heart, Xander asked casually, "You seem dissatisfied with Abigail?"Dr. Sander was startled. 'Does he have mind-reading abilities?'She smiled awkwardly. "Abigail is such a nice kid. How could I be dissatisfied with her?"Xander stared at his phone without even looking at her and asked softly, "Did Abigail call me while I was unconscious?"Dr. Sander knew she could not hide it and also dared not to. "She called for Xander, not for Nathan. I answered the call on your behalf."Xander asked, "What did you say to her?"Dr. Sander said, "I followed your instructions and didn't dare to tell her about your condition. I just said that you weren't able to take her calls.""Abigail is my wife!" Xander said this and remained silent.Dr. Sander could not fathom his thoughts. The more she thought about i

Samuel was extremely puzzled. "You were never Mr. Zane's mother, to begin with. I don't see any problem with him never treating you as his mother. Why are you so emotionally agitated?""Do you think there's no problem?" Dr. Sander raised her voice in agitation. "I've been by his side, taking care of him since he was a child. I have been by his side for over twenty years. The time I've spent with him far exceeds the time his own parents spent with him."I accompanied him on his first day of school. I stayed by his side day and night when he was sick. For these twenty years, I went with him wherever he went. To take care of him, I never had any personal time."Dr. Sander spoke with emotional intensity. However, Samuel looked at her and said calmly, "Were you obligated to do all that for him?"Dr. Sander was startled. "You..."Samuel continued, "I know you have excellent medical skills, and many hospitals outside are eager to have you. However, ask yourself. Can the payment you get f

Felix questioned, "Just casual conversation?"Abigail asked, "What are you doing? Are you interrogating me like I'm a criminal? Do I need to show you the chat records on my phone for you to believe me?"It was not that they did not want to believe Abigail. However, she had moments of laughter and being upset, almost on the verge of tears while sending messages just now. They were worried that Nathan would bully her."Who doesn't believe you? We're just concerned about you." Felix slapped Abigail on the shoulder. "Caterpie, remember this. If that guy, Nathan, dares to bully you, you must tell us. Don't silently endure any grievances alone."When mentioning Nathan, a faint smile appeared on Abigail's face. "Nathan would never bear to bully me."Felix and Melody felt relieved upon seeing Abigail's demeanor, which showed no signs of being bullied by Nathan. Then, the three of them continued to pack the books.Melody had a natural inclination for gossip. She asked, "Caterpie, I'm real

Abigail took over the card and looked at it. Nathan's name was actually on it. "I vaguely remember that Nathan gave me a bank card on the day we registered. I've never thought of spending his money. After returning, I simply placed the card and our marriage certificate somewhere. After that, I've never seen those two things ever again."Melody then asked, "He's your husband. Why won't you spend the money he gave you?"Abigail answered, "We didn't even live together. How could I possibly have the audacity to spend his money? Besides, there was never a rule that a woman must use her man's money. Since we were forming a new family and I could earn money too, both of us should be working together to make our tiny family better."Felix continued asking, "If you didn't spend his money, you would want other women to spend his money? Do you know the PIN of that card? Do you want to check how much money is on the card? What if he gave you a blank card just to make you happy?"Abigail glance

Felix poked Melody's forehead. "Mel, have you got some issues from getting high chasing after dream couples? Even if you didn't use this fake certificate to do something bad, creating this type of fake certificate is illegal. Don't do this in the future.""What?" Melody picked up the marriage certificate and looked at it. Due to not daring to believe that the man in the photo was Xander, she rubbed her eyes. She closed her eyes and opened them again. The man on the marriage certificate still had Xander's face. She screamed, "Ah!"She let out a high-pitched scream and bounced around the room excitedly. "Oh my god, I would never expect that the strangest couple I've been pursuing would actually come true!"Abigail was oddly serious. "You should destroy this fake certificate quickly, or else, I'll ignore you."Melody displayed the marriage certificate in front of Abigail and Felix. "Stinky Caterpie and Stinky Fee, both of you should open your eyes widely and take a good look. Do you s

Melody hoped from the deepest parts of her heart that Nathan was Xander. "Fee, do you remember that not long after Caterpie had just been promoted to assistant to the CEO, Xander had come to our place once?"Felix answered, "The look he gave me that day was so terrifying. How could I forget? We then ate grilled food together. Xander had explained this in the past too. He said that he had come on that day to look for Caterpie due to matters at work."Melody continued, "He, a CEO of the Zane Corporation, would personally come to look for Caterpie? What kind of work would be unable to be talked about over the phone and require you to personally come to look for Caterpie personally?"The things that they were discussing had already run through Abigail's mind once. After carefully counting the days, both of them said that the day Xander came to their rented apartment was the exact same day she and Xander returned from a business trip in Valtara.Xander had said he wanted to go on a date

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
