All Chapters of Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Chapter 1211 - Chapter 1220

Not every family could tolerate a womanizer like Malcolm. Some introduced their daughters to him just for show. But families that truly cared would not jeopardize their daughters' happiness for the sake of wealth.Britney felt a headache coming on, all because of Malcolm's nonstop talking. She snapped, "Enough with the chatter! One more word and I might just silence you myself."Malcolm replied, "Look, Grandma. I've said it before; I'm just not into these women. I don't want to hurt them. Is it that hard to understand? Do you need to see me marry and then divorce before you get it?"After a gentle kick from Abigail, Malcolm turned to her, puzzled. "Why did you do that?" he asked."Just follow me," Abigail replied. "I need to tell you something." She started walking, and Malcolm followed.Margaret and Britney stared in shock, both asking, "Is Malcolm actually listening to Abigail?"Britney added, "Didn't see that coming."Margaret beamed with pride. "Now you see how capable Abiga

As the woman disappeared from view, Malcolm gritted his teeth. "She's just playing hard to get, isn't she?" Abigail just rolled her eyes without responding. Malcolm persisted, "Don't you think?"Abigail simply said, "Let's go eat.""But you need to answer me. It'll bug me all night if you don't."Abigail shot back, "Wasn't she clear enough?"Malcolm said, "I've heard that women often say one thing but mean another."Abigail retorted, "Who's been filling your head with that? When a woman tells you 'no', believe her. Don't make excuses."Malcolm, looking concerned, asked, "I'm not trying to make excuses. I just want to understand. Why doesn't she like me?"Abigail said, "Sometimes, things just don't line up when it comes to feelings." She recalled Xander leaving with Lucia earlier that day. The memory brought a sharp ache that she had been trying to drown in her work all morning. Despite her efforts, the pain remained, intense and numbing.Malcolm said, "Isn't a win-win situation

Susanna said, "If people don't know Abigail's status, they might get the wrong idea. We should clarify it."Margaret replied, "Right, I'll talk to Xander about it."She then dialed Xander's number, and he picked up right away."What's up, Grandma?""Don't I get a call unless there's trouble?" Margaret joked. After a brief pause from Xander, she continued, "Abigail has been your wife for some time. Isn't it time to let others know her status with you?"Xander hesitated before replying, "I've got it covered, Grandma."Margaret said, "What do you mean by 'got it covered'? I promised Abigail's grandma, my dear friend, that I'd watch over her. She may not share all her feelings with you, so I'm here to voice them."Xander asked, "Did she say she wants her status announced?"Margaret replied, "Not at all. You know Abigail; she's always considerate and never wants to put anyone in a tough spot."Xander sighed. "I'll talk to her. No need to worry."Margaret softly said, "Xander..."

Xander, dressed in his white shirt and black pants, looked just as Abigail remembered. Yet, his gaze was distant. She tried to call out to him, but no sound escaped her lips. As much as she wished to walk up to him, her feet would not budge. Her heart ached watching Xander and Lucia walk together into the CEO's private elevator. As the doors shut, it felt as though a huge barrier had risen between her and Xander.Abigail felt as if her heart had shattered. She wobbled, about to fall, but Jerry was there to catch her."Ms. Renee," he said, "you've been with Mr. Zane for so long. You know him better than the rest of us. But he's out of most people's league. Why chase something so elusive?"She gave Jerry a grateful look. "Do you think I'm being silly?" When he nodded, she lifted her chin, smiling softly. "Now I know how that feels."Jerry looked puzzled. "What are you talking about?""It's just a hard-to-describe feeling," Abigail said. She then glanced around the large hall. "Jerry

Melody said, "I'm pregnant, and my guy is worried others might notice soon. Even though we aren't official, he wants us to get our marriage license and then plan the wedding."Abigail, looking at Melody's belly, replied, "Mel, take your time deciding on marriage. It's a big decision."Melody tapped her forehead with a smile. "Everyone says marriage is a big deal. But you married someone you barely knew, didn't you? And you question the guy I've known forever?" Abigail was at a loss for words. Melody laughed. "I'm just joking with you. When I met his family back home, I knew I was ready to commit to him. They seem to adore me, and my family thinks he's the one for me. We planned to get married eventually. So I thought, why wait?"Relationships could be tricky. People promised one thing one day, and then changed their minds the next. Abigail was worried but did not want to upset Melody. "Whatever you choose, stick with it. We all want you to be happy."Melody nodded. "I'm sure we'll
