All Chapters of Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

When he mentioned going home, it sounded so natural that anyone who did not know them might mistake them for a married couple. Abigail objected, "Mr. Zane, I already feel guilty for causing you so much trouble. I can go back to my own place.""So you'd have me break my promise to my friend?" Xander did not want to force her into anything she did not want to do, but he also did not feel comfortable leaving her alone in her rented place. Previously, she had been fine living with friends, but now that people knew she was his wife, he did not dismiss the possibility that someone might target her to get to him. Her kidnapping by David had been due to his carelessness; he would not allow anything like that to happen again.His stern tone irked Abigail. "I'm an adult, not a child in need of supervision. Shouldn't Nathan have asked for my opinion before entrusting me to you? Do you think it's normal for a grown man to entrust his wife to another man?"It did not seem quite normal, so Xander

"Mr. Zane, if I'm reassigned, what about you?" For the first time, Paxton questioned Xander's work arrangement. Not for his own sake, but out of concern for Xander."And since when do I have to explain my decisions to you?" Xander shot back.Paxton wanted to argue, but he could only mutter, "Yes" because he knew once Xander had made up his mind, he was powerless to change it.Perhaps detecting Paxton's reluctance, Xander added, "If she gets so much as a scratch, you know what to do.""Yes, sir. I understand," Paxton replied.Xander had always treated him with respect, but this was the first time he had been so harsh. At that moment, Paxton seemed to understand Dr. Sander's worries from the previous night. He had been by Xander's side for years, handling many problems and dangers for him. Now, he was being reassigned to protect Abigail, a mere assistant, their enemies would not even consider her a target. There was no need for him to be reassigned for such a task. Paxton did not un

'So, he's making a fool out of me, huh?'Nathan: [Abigail...]Abigail: [Hmm?]Nathan: [Can we not get divorced?]Until last night, Abigail had been steadfast in her decision to divorce Nathan. But when she was cornered and he burst through the door to rescue her, she had felt a peace she could not explain. As if his presence was a shield, protecting her from harm. From that moment, her resolve to divorce wavered. Theirs had been a whirlwind marriage, they had not really lived together after that, and he had mistakenly thought she had been unfaithful, wanting a divorce. None of it was wrong. If she were in his shoes and thought he had cheated, she too would have asked for a divorce.With this realization, she replied: [It's not out of the question, but we'd need to talk in person.]Xander, seeing this message from Abigail, felt a weight lift from his heart. 'If Abigail's attitude toward Nathan is changing, then I should be able to tell her soon that Nathan and Xander are the same

Melody was quick-tempered and found it hard to control her emotions when frustrated. "What utter nonsense! Who are you framing here?""Mel, take it easy. Let me handle this." Abigail held Melody back, remaining calm in the face of the domineering security guard. "We've stopped. What seems to be the problem?"The guard glanced at Mallory, and upon receiving a nod from her, he said, "We suspect you of stealing from a customer in the mall. We need to search you."Abigail chuckled lightly. "Search us? Who gave you that right?"The guard, oblivious to the legalities, was keen on pleasing Mallory, unaware he had no real authority to conduct a search. "Since you're not cooperating, we'll have to ask you to accompany us to the office."Melody, whom Abigail had been shielding, burst in front of her, agitated. "I'd like to see you try!"At this point, Mallory strolled over, certain of her victory. "Your refusal to be searched only proves your guilt.""And if you falsely accuse me of eatin

She grumbled under her breath, "He's the one who took the initiative to ask if there's anything interesting, yet showed an indifferent attitude when I told him so. Does he even want to have a proper conversation?"Unbeknownst to Abigail, the Xander right now was at a loss about the reason she never mentioned him in her private life. He felt he had been a good superior to Abigail all along, but was bewildered by Abigail's disgust toward him. Still confused, he called Malcolm for help, expecting him to be more experienced with romantic relationships. "What should I do when I angered my wife during our conversation?"Malcolm sent him a recorded message. "Xander, I'm getting more and more interested in this wife of yours. I wonder what's so special about her that you would place so much attention on her.""Because she's the wife," said Xander with a simple yet powerful answer. She was his wife, so he must protect her for life.A playboy like Malcolm naturally would not know Xander's st
