All Chapters of Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Chapter 321 - Chapter 330

Esther had not wanted to leave Abigail on her own, but her brother's instructions were something she could not dismiss lightly. "Abigail, I didn't mean to leave you," Esther said, her voice ringing sincere. "I was on the phone for too long and forgot about our shopping trip. It wasn't intentional.""Sure seems like it was to me," Abigail retorted.Esther's heart skipped a beat, wondering if Abigail had picked up on something. "Why would you think I left you on purpose?""Woman's intuition," Abigail replied simply.With no solid evidence to back up Abigail's claim, Esther relaxed. "A woman's intuition can be accurate but not always. Trust me, I didn't intentionally leave you to go shopping with my brother. Can you forgive me? I promise it won't happen again.""I'm not so sure I want to forgive you," Abigail said, a teasing glint in her eyes.Esther's heart stumbled in her chest. "Why won't you forgive me? Don't you like me anymore?"Hearing the tremble in Esther's voice, Abigail

"Y-You like me, Abigail?" Xander stammered, sounding as nervous as a love-struck teenager. It was strange to see him like this, the man who could dominate any situation with his sheer presence now stumbling over words. "Could you, um, repeat what you just said?""Of course. I like you, Mr. Zane." Abigail's words washed over Xander like a wave of elation, the pure joy overwhelming him. But he barely had a moment to bask in this delight before Abigail added more. "Mr. Zane, I'm not sure how the other employees view you, but to Mr. Jackman and me, you're a great boss. You treat us well, ensure our salaries are paid on time, and give various rewards. You always stand up for your team. I started working at Zane Corporation right after graduating, so I haven't experienced other bosses, but I'm confident you're the best out there. How could I not like such a wonderful boss? Mr. Jackman often says he likes you a lot too."Xander was left speechless. 'I don't want to be just your boss forever

Feeling buoyed by Abigail's praise, Xander doubled his efforts, and the dough was kneaded to perfection in no time.A quick scout around the kitchen left Abigail empty-handed—no rolling pin in sight. Given Xander's predilection for Francovian cuisine in Paridale, it was likely such a tool was not a staple in his kitchen. She remembered her childhood, when in the absence of a rolling pin, her grandmother would use a wine bottle to roll out the ravioli dough."Mr. Zane, do we have an empty wine bottle?" she asked."We have wine, but I'm not sure about an empty bottle." Xander exited the kitchen, returning with an unopened bottle of red wine. He passed it to Abigail. "Pour out the wine, and voila, you have an empty bottle."Assuming it was a generic bottle of red, Abigail was about to pour out the wine. But upon seeing the vintage on the label, she hurriedly returned the bottle to Xander. "Mr. Zane, this isn't something to joke about." The market value of this particular vintage was i

Abigail calmly said, "I want to spend the rest of my life with Nathan too. But no one knows what'll happen in the future. What if Nathan falls for another woman before I return to the country?"Perhaps because she experienced too many bad things, Abigail unconsciously allowed herself to have options. No matter what may happen to her marriage with Nathan in the future, she could also continue to live her life according to her own ideas."He won't fall for another woman. He'll be loyal to your marriage to him forever. Please believe him." Xander's voice was low and deep. He sounded sweet and particularly serious. It seemed like he was making her a promise.Abigail did not know why Xander insisted on making a promise on behalf of Nathan. She thought Nathan might not even be as sure as Xander. She said, "Mr. Zane, I've told you, you're you. You aren't him. What you say on his behalf doesn't count."Xander responded, "Every word I say counts."Abigail did not want to continue talking t

Xander coldly glanced at Esther. His gloomy gaze was filled with warnings.In the past, Esther would definitely surrender. But now she had Abigail, her massive backer. She was not afraid of anything. She said, "Abigail, look at my brother, he's staring at me again. Can you handle him?"Abigail was speechless.She thought, 'Esther overestimated me. I won't ever dare to control anything my boss does even if someone gives me enormous courage.'Xander said, "Leave if you don't want to make ravioli. Don't disturb Abigail making the ravioli here."Esther knew her brother wanted her to leave. But she could not leave. 'He doesn't have much experience in relationships. I must help him,' she thought before saying, "Who says I'm not making it? Am I not learning from Abigail now?""Essy, take the ravioli wrappers that your brother made. Let's make the ravioli on the dining table." The brother and sister fought whenever they saw each other. Abigail did not want to side with any of them. So, t
