Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO Chapter 938
Everyone thought Margaret had set up her grandson's marriage with a girl from a wealthy family. No one believed she would have him marry a girl from a small town."What does it matter if you believe it or not?" Mallory retorted. "They're now in North Florivera, and they seem really happy together. Don't ask me to seduce Xander anymore. Don't make me interfere in their relationship—"Smack!Before Mallory could finish, Daisy angrily slapped her. "What nonsense are you spouting? Don't you dare say that again. I've told you countless times; you were born to marry Xander. How could you say such hurtful things?"Mallory looked at her mother, her face not showing any emotion. But when she looked closely, she could see a hint of amusement in her eyes. She expected her mother to apologize soon, just like she had many times before. Whenever her mother got mad, she would slap Mallory and then try to make up for it with a kind gesture."Sorry, Mallory," Daisy said, holding Mallory's face gen

Feeling furious, Daisy picked up anything she could find nearby and began hurling it at Mallory. As she did so, she yelled, "I've given you everything you've ever wanted for years, treating you like a princess. What have you ever done for me? You don't get to decide who you're marrying. Whether you want to or not, you're marrying Xander!"Mallory watched her mother, who seemed to be going wild. She felt satisfied because she knew what made her mother mad, and she did it on purpose. "You think you can just give me to Xander like I'm a gift!"Daisy got even angrier after hearing that. She grabbed something without looking and hit Mallory's head with it. Mallory's forehead started bleeding right away. When Daisy saw the blood, she felt sorry for what she had done. She tried to sound like a nice mother again. "I didn't mean to hurt you, sweetie. I was just really mad. Your forehead is bleeding. Let me help, okay?"Mallory snorted. "You hit me again, just like before. Don't act sorry now

Once, when Mallory was just a little girl, Daisy did not give her any food. Mallory was so hungry and upset that she cried and fussed until she fell asleep because she was so tired. Only then did Daisy let her eat. After that incident, Mallory started behaving.The butler knew what had happened, but he did not say anything. He just answered coldly, "Okay."Over at Cassandra's apartment, Abigail made breakfast and everyone began to wake up. They all got ready and went to the kitchen one by one. Some helped serve the rice soup, while others put dishes on the table. Clara had gone to a bakery and brought back some muffins, bread, boiled eggs, and donuts, which made the breakfast feel really special.Susanna felt bad. She had come to North Florivera to help, but she had not done anything. Abigail had made breakfast all by herself. Abigail noticed Susanna's face looked off. "Didn't you sleep well last night, Susanna?" she asked.Susanna replied, "Madam and I slept just fine. But you sta

"I came to pay respect to Abigail's grandmother. I want to see Abigail too." Daisy faked a few drops of tears. "Abigail's father passed away when she was a kid. Cassandra was Abigail's only source of emotional support. Now that Cassandra has passed away, I'm afraid Abigail might be unable to cope with it..."Clara and the others were worried about that too. "We share the same worry as you. So, we try to avoid letting Abigail be alone in the short term. We want to accompany her as much as possible and comfort her."Daisy said, "After all, her only family member has passed away. I think comforting her with mere words won't be effective. I have an idea. And I'd like you to consider it and see if it's feasible."Clara said, "Tell me."Daisy said, "I want to acknowledge Abigail as my daughter again and have her come live with me in the city. I'll take care of her from now on."Clara was happy when she heard Daisy wanted to take on the responsibility of being a mother. But she could not

Daisy was unhappy with Benjamin's straightforward words. "You're an adult. You should know sometimes things are beyond our control."Although an outsider should not comment too much on someone else's family matters, Benjamin had always treated Abigail like his daughter. So, he naturally took up the responsibility as her father. He said, "What did you mean by it's out of your control? You just don't value her. You were the one who abandoned her back then. And now, you came back to acknowledge her. Who knows if you have bad intentions?"Daisy asked, "Mr. Thompson, have I offended you?"Benjamin answered, "No."Daisy questioned, "Why do you dislike me then?"Benjamin replied, "I don't dislike you. I'm just worried that you have bad intentions and might hurt Abigail a second time. Abigail can't handle another emotional blow."'Who is he to lecture me?' Daisy was extremely furious with Benjamin. But she still responded politely, "Let's just see what Abigail thinks."...Clara entere

Abigail's door was opened again in less than two minutes.Clara entered the room, followed by a tall, slender middle-aged woman.When Abigail looked up and saw the person's face, all the excitement she had before this was completely gone. She had a chill down her spine. "Wh-Why are you here?"Daisy was tearing up as she ran toward Abigail. "A-Are you my Abigail? Abigail, I'm your mother. After all these years, I finally got to meet you."Clara said, "You two know each other? You two should have a chat then. I'll go out and help."Abigail coldly said, "Clara, can you please see her out? And don't allow her to step into my home ever again."Daisy said, "Abigail, I know you hate me. You hate me for abandoning you. I'm begging you. Please allow me a few minutes to talk to you..."After learning that Xander was Abigail's husband, Daisy immediately took the earliest flight to North Florivera.She did not care whether Abigail would acknowledge her as her mother. She was determined to

"Probably." Clara subconsciously turned around and glanced. She was not sure if allowing Daisy to stay in Abigail's room was the right decision."Go and take a nap in Caterpie's room." Felix then looked around. There were two tables of people playing cards. Some were busy in the kitchen too. But he did not see Abigail. So, he asked, "Where's Caterpie?""She's busy with something..." Clara felt that it would be better for fewer people to know about it. That was why she did not tell Felix the truth. She continued saying, "Continue with what you were doing. I'll go and check on Abigail."Clara was still worried. She then walked to the outside of Abigail's room. She thought if she heard noises from inside, she could immediately go in and help.In the room, Daisy tried to hold Abigail's hand. But before she could reach her hand, Abigail moved back to avoid it.Daisy's eyes turned red and shed a few tears. "Abigail, could you give me a few minutes to explain?"Abigail remained indiffer

This was Daisy's best chance to get close to Xander and become his mother-in-law.She definitely would not give up on this opportunity. She said, "Abigail, if you forgive me, I'll give you a renovated house in Florivera. You won't have to share the small, rented apartment with your two best friends anymore.""You're not allowed to say the name 'Abigail'. Stop calling my name. It feels so filthy listening to my name coming out of your mouth. And let me tell you, I'd be happy even if I had to live in a basement with my best friends." Abigail walked to the door and opened it. "Get lost now!"Unexpectedly, Xander was just standing outside the door.Abigail was stunned. She had lost all the confidence she had just now when she scolded Daisy. Her voice became so soft that Xander could hardly hear her. "Wh-When did you come back?""I just got back!" After making sure Abigail was fine, he stared at Daisy. His gaze was terrifying!Daisy pretended to be surprised as she said, "Xander, why

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
