Semua Bab Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Bab 1011 - Bab 1020

Abigail was speaking with great emotion, so much that she said everything all at once. Yet, out of everything she said, Xander only heard the one sentence that mattered most to him - she said he was the only person she cared about. Relieved, he reached out to pat her head.He asked, "Do you really think I would care whether Raymond betrayed me or not?"Abigail became angrier, turning her head away, refusing to look at him. "I guess I'm just overreacting."Xander gently turned her face back toward him, compelling her to meet his gaze. "You're the only one I care about, Abigail."The unexpected declaration left Abigail at a loss for words. She blushed and averted her gaze, but Xander gently turned her face back toward him again. As he lowered his head, moving closer to her, Abigail assumed he was going to kiss her again and instinctively shut her eyes. Instead of the awaited kiss, however, she heard Xander's deep chuckle. Opening her eyes, Abigail gave him a reproachful look, her che

Abigail immediately realized that Xander must have intervened. It was the only explanation for the sudden change in attitude from someone who had been so hostile toward her."What did my husband say to you?"Mariah shook her head. "He didn't say anything."Abigail gave her a pointed look without saying a word. Feeling the weight of Abigail's silent scrutiny, Mariah began to feel guilty and, ultimately, spilled the beans."He just asked me if I wanted to move," Mariah said.Abigail asked, "Is that all?"Mariah continued, "Do you remember the Prescott families? A few days ago, they sold their houses for less than they're worth and quickly left North Florivera, saying they would never return. At first, like everyone else, I thought they left because Elliot was arrested, and they were too embarrassed to stay in North Florivera. But I just found out from your husband that he likely pulled some strings to force those families to sell their houses and leave North Florivera."At this po

Xander smiled, but did not answer her question. "Let's go home."Abigail asked, "You're not planning to tell me?"Xander said, "I'm hungry. Can you cook something for me when we get back?"Since he was not talking, Abigail did not press further. "Let's go."Meanwhile, Nova's men had located Raymond again, taking him to the place Abigail and Xander had just left. The people who escorted Raymond were the same two who had taken Abigail away earlier, but they were much nicer to Raymond."Mr. Seabrook, Mr. Zane is waiting for you inside. Please follow us."Raymond followed them through a landscape of a fountain surrounded by rocks, eventually arriving at an elegantly arranged room filled with all kinds of delicious food.Nova greeted him with a smile. "I heard you didn't have a good lunch, Mr. Seabrook, so I prepared some dishes for you. I hope you like them."Raymond sat down across from Nova, expressionless. "I did as you asked. Where is Elisabeth?"Raymond was an orphan, raised

Abigail was yelled at for no reason. She blinked and looked at Xander with an expression of being unfairly treated.When Xander saw her facial expression, he could not help but soften his voice. But he did not abandon his principle. "You need to listen to me on this."Abigail angrily looked away. She did not want to talk to him.Xander raised his hand to hold the back of her head as he said in his low, deep voice, "I know you can handle your matter on your own. But I still want to do something for you."If you refuse my help in everything, it'll make me feel like I'm useless to you. I'll feel like it doesn't matter if you have me or not."Abigail thought, 'It turns out that he has so many worries.'She had her worries too. She did not want to rely on him for everything. She did not want him to feel that she was a burden. That was why she wanted to handle some of the things on her own.Since they were on this topic, Abigail decided to express her thoughts, "You've already done a

[1st September 1976Great weather.Dear Diary,Today marked the first day of the new school term. It was also the day I welcomed new students. Not far after I walked out of my home, I heard the cries of a baby. I followed the sound and saw a new backpack by the roadside. And there was an infant inside it.The baby was still very, very small. He seemed like a newborn baby. He was constantly crying, and his face turned red. He looked so pitiful.I looked around but I couldn't find his parents. Instead, I saw a note inside the backpack. The note stated the baby's birth date. The child was born on 31st July 1976, between 9 to 11 at night.Other than the details of the baby's birth, there was also a note with many words.It said: [I was unmarried when I gave birth. The child's father has disappeared. So, I've become a promiscuous woman despised by everyone. And because I gave birth without getting married, my parents and family members couldn't hold their heads high in the neighborho
