All Chapters of Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Chapter 981 - Chapter 990

Outside the office, Abigail heard noises coming from inside. First, it was a member of the property management staff. "We have checked the surveillance videos at all three exits, and the child hasn't left the complex. We're starting the search for him immediately."A woman replied, her voice quivering, "Please, can we get more people to help search? I can't bear it if anything happens to my son—"Before she could finish, a man angrily interrupted, "Pretending to care now? Where were you earlier? How could you leave a child that young alone?"The woman, tears streaming down her face, spoke through her sobs, "I put him to bed before going downstairs to buy some things. I came back as soon as I could. How was I supposed to know he wouldn't be there? He usually sleeps for hours. I didn't know—"The man yelled angrily, "You didn't know, you didn't know. Is that all you can say?"The property management staff, fearing the man might hurt the woman, quickly intervened. "Sir, your wife cer

Xander thought, 'If she's this fascinated by someone else's kid, she might forget all about me if we have our own. I don't want that to happen. Not at all.'Abigail nodded enthusiastically. "I'd love that! Let's have two kids, a boy and a girl. Sounds good?"Trying to divert the conversation, Xander said, "Abigail."Sensing his change in tone, she responded, "Hmm?"Xander continued, "That little boy was adorable, yes. But consider what his mother endured. She sacrificed her career for him, and now she's trapped with a man who shows no consideration for her. Why would anyone want to have a child with a person like that?"Abigail understood his concerns and said, "But you're not that kind of person."Xander replied, "I just don't want you to suffer after having children."Abigail said, "Being a stay-at-home mom is sometimes harder than having a job outside the home. People who work outside get breaks, but moms are always working, all day and all night. And because of what people t

Abigail was speechless.She thought, 'Ah... I know he never had a girlfriend and didn't sleep with any other women. But I just wanted to force him to admit that he's no different from me. I thought he surely had watched those kinds of videos.'But surprisingly, he's indeed different. He was already busy making money every day even during his school days, unlike us losers.'Xander smiled as he said, "You seem quite disappointed that I've never watched that kind of video."Abigail replied, "It makes me seem so ordinary."Xander said, "I've done some pretty ordinary things too."Abigail asked, "Like what? Tell me."Xander replied, "I once threw a coin into a wishing well to make a wish."Abigail asked, "What did you wish for?""I wished for my dad and mom to love me," Xander said as he smiled. However, the warmth in his eyes had vanished and been replaced by a terrifying iciness."It's all right. They don't love you, but you still have your grandmother and Essy. And now, you hav

Xander thought Abigail wanted a child so badly because of her deceased grandmother.He never expected that she was doing it for his grandmother. She always managed to give him the biggest surprise in these small matters.Xander began, "Abigail..."Abigail said, "I know you're going to say that I should live for myself, and not fulfill other people's wishes. But they aren't any other people. They're my family, the people who love me. And most importantly, I want a child too."Xander finally compromised. "If you want it, then we'll have a child."Abigail smiled sweetly at him. "Let's have two; a girl and a boy. The girl will be like me, and the boy will be like you."Xander replied, "Sure."Abigail said, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, we need to love them equally. We must be fair parents. And we absolutely can't show favoritism to either of them."Xander responded, "Okay."Abigail said, "Grandma previously already helped us come up with nicknames for the children. Now, we need t

That person was the woman that Xander mentioned last night, Samantha, the one who made Abigail jealous.Samantha knew Abigail was Xander's wife. But she was not sure if Xander had told Abigail that. That was why she addressed Abigail as "Ms. Renee".Abigail remained silent. She wanted to see how Xander would handle his former admirer.Xander said, "I'm here to send off my wife to North Florivera. What about you?""I'm going to North Florivera too." Samantha looked at Abigail. She chuckled. "Should I call you 'Mrs. Zane'?"Abigail responded, "Ms. Jean, you don't have to be so formal. You can call me by my name."Samantha asked, "When did you two know that both of you are each other's partner?"Upon hearing that, Abigail immediately knew Samantha was aware of the little things that happened between her and Xander. She was a little unhappy with Xander telling other people about their private matters. She responded, "Do you know very well about the matter between me and Xander?"Sa
