Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 709
Cassandra said, "Both of you are legal husband and wife who already have their marriage certificate, but you lack a traditional marriage ceremony. I've always regretted it, but today, I have gifted both of you the dragon and phoenix bangles. I want to borrow the meaning behind the dragon and phoenix to wish that the both of you would have a baby soon and live happily ever after!"Abigail accepted them with both her hands. "Thank you, Grandma! As husband and wife, we also wish both grandmas a healthy and long life. May you grow younger as the days go by."After the simple gifting session was done, it was time to eat. Before she went to the table, Abigail made an excuse so that she could go to the bathroom. While hiding in the bathroom, she secretly sent a message to Justin: [Mr. York, I have another piece of information that can rake in a lot of cash. Do you have the guts to publish it?]Justin replied: [I've told you before, Lucky Charm. I wouldn't dare to publish anything that has

Xander did not speak further and just stared at her. Abigail's heart trembled from the staring. "I'm busy earning money."She raised her phone and truthfully showed him her chat logs. "Justin is still waiting for my message. Could you first let me go?"Xander's sharp eyes were able to spot her praising him for his good looks. He chuckled. "You can do this type of thing openly. There's no need to hide in the bathroom like you're a thief."Abigail answered him, "I was worried you might get angry."Xander asked her, "You're afraid I would be angry?"Abigail did not bother with him as her attention was back on her phone. She sent the newly taken picture to Justin and typed: [You can send them without worry. Write them as eye-catchingly as possible. I'll bear any consequences and not let you be implicated in this.]With Abigail's promise, Justin was not so worried. He texted: [As long as you keep to your word, I'll definitely write the headline as eye-catchingly as possible. I'm going

After finishing their meal, Margaret and Cassandra exchanged glances. They could not wait to have the couple return to their room to rest. They wished from the bottom of their hearts that the couple would be successful in making a baby and allow them to have the chance to hold their great-grandchild.Margaret said, "We're full, and it's getting late. Xander, bring Abigail back to your room and rest. It's Saturday tomorrow so there's no need to go to work. Both of you can sleep in for a while longer."Abigail saw it was late and replied, "Then I'll be returning to the apartment that I'm renting first, Grandma."Margaret pulled a face and said thoughtfully, "Where are you going back to? You're a member of the Zane family. The Zane family has plenty of houses to stay in, and you still want to return to your rented apartment unit. Other people might assume we're bullying you if this goes out.""Abigail, I'm afraid you haven't figured out that this place of ours is also your home. We ha

Abigail followed Xander to the courtyard for a stroll. The weather was particularly hot today. Once they exited the air-conditioned house, a heat wave crashed into them even though it was nighttime.Xander usually did not sweat so much. He did not know what was wrong today, but he was sweating profusely after walking no more than two steps. His whole body was soaked in sweat after a short while, and he called out, "Abigail..."After he shouted Abigail's name, his whole body felt like its strength dissipated. He missed a step and was about to fall toward the floor. Thankfully, Abigail's reaction was swift enough, and she held onto his huge body with her tiny physique. "What's wrong with you?"Xander answered, "I might be dehydrated. Help me sit down at the side."Abigail quickly helped him to sit on the stones at the flower bed. Only then did she notice Xander's odd condition. He was red from the face down to the neck. She said, "Dehydrated, weak, and unable to walk? Sweating all ov

It took a while for Keith to receive Abigail's reply: [Mr. Jackman, is there something important? If not, can we talk tomorrow? I'm with my husband now and need to deal with something.]Upon seeing Abigail's reply, Keith's worldview shattered once again.'This girl is such a player! She's fooling around with the boss at work and then spending time with her husband after work. She's having her cake and eating it too! Don't they worry about getting caught by their partners? Or perhaps they have no fear of being discovered at all! They seem intentionally to be high-profile to make others aware of their affair. Then, they'll be together openly and drive away the original mate to achieve their hidden intentions.'Keith's mind began to imagine a dramatic scene again.As soon as Abigail had replied to Keith's message, she received another one from Justin: [Abigail, our post has hit the top of the trending list again. It looks like this news is going to create a big buzz. Your boss, Mr. Za

Cassandra and Margaret stood on either side, pressing their heads against the door. If Abigail did not open the door gently, they both would have taken a big tumble. A severe fall could be life-threatening at their age. Abigail felt extremely scared just thinking about it.However, Cassandra and Margaret acted as if nothing had happened. "Abigail, have you and Xander rested? We've made some smoothies. Would you and Xander like to come downstairs and have some? Or should we have someone bring it to your room?"Abigail could understand their eagerness to have a great-grandchild. It did not matter how much fuss they made, but Abigail could not allow them to do anything unsafe. She did not think she could bear losing any more of her loved ones.So Abigail put on a serious expression and said, "Grandmas, what are you doing? You're both at such an old age. Can't you be more careful? What should I do if something happens because you fall?"Margaret seemed uneasy and kept her head down. "A

However, tonight was different. Xander and Abigail were both in good health, young, and full of energy. Sleeping together could lead to physical intimacy easily. They were legally married, so there was nothing wrong with it. However, the problem was Abigail still felt a bit nervous about taking their relationship to the next level. More importantly, Xander was experiencing performance issues.'I particularly don't want him to feel embarrassed or hurt his male pride because of this. So, I must avoid things from getting to an uncontrollable point. Sharing a room with Grandma tonight is the best choice.'Margaret and Cassandra were momentarily surprised by her suggestion. They exchanged a glance and decided to let Cassandra handle it. "Abigail, you can sleep in the same bed with me another day, but not tonight."Abigail asked, "Grandma, why not tonight?"Margaret answered, "Today is your first time as Zane's daughter-in-law at the Zane residence. Naturally, you should sleep with Xande

Abigail asked, "Grandma, it's already the modern era. Why would there be things boys can talk about but girls can't?"Cassandra was at a loss for words.Margaret quickly interjected, "Cassandra, it's fine as long as Abigail understands. We just worry that they might not understand or can't find the right approach, and then we won't be able to have a great-grandchild."The topic of the great-grandchild came up once again. Abigail really did not want to continue this conversation, so she quickly finished the smoothie. "Grandma, this smoothie is delicious. I'll take a glass to Xander."Margaret said, "Xander is picky. He never drinks smoothies."Xander was experiencing body heat. Abigail thought having a glass of smoothie might be good to help him to cool down, so she decided to give it a shot. "Grandma, let me take it up and see if I can get him to drink it.""Okay." Margaret and Cassandra steadily watched Abigail fill a glass with the smoothie and leave the dining room.As soon a

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
