Semua Bab Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Bab 821 - Bab 830

"You've got to find a way to break free from your nightmares. Trust yourself to escape, and then those nightmares will never bother you again," Xander said. He had always known what Esther was afraid of. That incident was why he wanted to lock Nova in jail all those years ago. People said Xander was cold and heartless. Esther thought so too, feeling that her brother treated her like any ordinary person. She felt he would not even care if she died.Then one day, Esther got hurt. She woke up in pain during the night. Xander was sitting by her bed, looking worried, and putting medicine on her wound. That was when she knew she was not a child nobody liked. Only her parents did not like her. Her brother and grandmother really loved her. When her grandmother took her in when she was a little girl, Esther was free to talk as much as she wanted without being locked in a dark room, and she could eat all her favorite foods. Xander always cared about her without saying anything. Thinking about a

"I'll send you my address on WhatsApp," Stella said.Abigail glanced at the address Stella had sent over WhatsApp. It was close to The HC Residences, about a half-hour drive from the Zane residence if there was not any traffic. "I'm heading over now and should be there in about half an hour.""I'll wait for you," Stella replied.After ending the call with Stella, Abigail turned to Xander and asked, "Did Lucas go back to Hayshiport?""There's a big project in Hayshiport that he's leading," Xander replied. "He'll be there for the next two days.""That's good he's not here. Stella sounds down and wants to go for drinks. I need to be there for her," Abigail said.Xander was not too happy about his wife suddenly going to see someone else, but he did not stop her from seeing her friend. "I'll drive you there," he said."You have to wake up early tomorrow," Abigail replied. "I'll just drive myself. If we end up drinking, we can stay at a hotel close by."Xander did not like the idea o

Xander said, "Step out of the car."Malcolm asked, "What's wrong?"Xander said, "Who's your driver?"Malcolm responded, "You can be a chauffeur for your assistant, why can't you do the same for a good friend like me? Is it because I'm not as good-looking as Abigail?" Xander did not respond and just started the car, heading toward The HC Residences. Sitting in the front passenger seat, Malcolm suddenly blurted out, "I'm really curious, who is Abigail's husband? She could give up many opportunities for that guy."Xander asked, "What do you mean? She's always busy working. She doesn't have lots of admirers following her around."Malcolm started to say, "I—"Xander cut him off and asked, "You what?"Malcolm said, "I like Abigail. I've wanted to pursue her since the day I first saw her, and you know this. However, she turned me down simply by saying she's married. Now, I've known her for over a year and still haven't met the bugger who got to marry her."Xander, quietly seething at

Shawn casually replied, "What do you think you know?"Malcolm said, "I know who Xander's wife is. Do you want to know?"Shawn said, "Oh, you finally figured it out."Malcolm was surprised by Shawn's answer. "What do you mean? Don't tell me you already knew who Xander's wife was?"Shawn said, "Not that long ago, maybe even before Xander did."Malcolm exclaimed, "Shawn, you're just bragging! You're busy all day, and you hardly ever hang out with Xander. I spend way more time with Xander than you do. I just found out who his wife is. There's no way you knew before me. No way, absolutely no way!"Malcolm was not upset that Shawn knew who Xander's wife was; he just did not like being the last one to find out. In his mind, he was always with Xander in Florivera, whether Xander was working or not, or just out having fun. He always thought he was Xander's best friend, and after Xander's family, he should have been the first to know about Xander's marriage. But now, he found out others kn

"Abigail is different," Xander said."How is she different?" Malcolm asked."She doesn't wanna make our relationship public," Xander replied.On hearing this, Malcolm, who had been feeling down all night, could not help but laugh. "I never, ever thought there'd be someone who didn't want the world to know she's with you, Xander. It's so funny you finally had a silly moment!" Malcolm laughed so hard, tears streamed down his cheeks."Is it that funny?" Xander asked."Isn't it?" Malcolm wiped the tears from his eyes, still chuckling. "Think about it; so many girls dream of marrying you. If they could, they'd shout it to the world. And yet, your wife doesn't want to make your relationship public. That's really funny."Xander's face hardened. "I'm telling you all this because I need your help, not for you to make fun of me."Malcolm said, "First, tell me why Abigail doesn't want to tell people about you two. Is it just because she doesn't like your face?"Xander scratched his head.
