Semua Bab Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Being called a bastard by Abigail's friends, not only did Xander not refute that, he even felt that they were right. He was a proper right bastard.He, as a husband, not only did not provide his wife any help when she needed him the most, but he even caused her more trouble.If her friends were already so resentful of him, he could only wonder how much Abigail hated 'Nathan' in her heart.The three of them had totally ignored his presence and Xander had to speak up to make himself heard. "Abigail, are these your friends?"Abigail was speechless.'Shit! I got so engrossed with Felix and Mel I forgot that Xander was standing right here. Now he has heard all of my private matters!'It was only at this moment did Melody notice Xander and her eyes immediately lit up with stars. "Woah, handsome! Have we met before? Caterpie? He isn't Nathan, right? If he's Nathan, then just forget about the divorce. He's so handsome even if he's a useless piece of shit, taking him out as a companion wo

'If her words meant nothing, then whose does?'Seeing that Abigail was unwilling to answer the question, Xander could tell what she was thinking, but he still insisted on an answer from her. "I'm asking you now."Unable to watch his darling Caterpie being 'bullied', Felix turned around and glanced at Xander. "Mr. Zane, whether your wife will forgive you or not is up to your wife, whatever my Caterpie here says means nothing in the grand scheme of things."Xander's sharp brow raised a little as an incisive gloom appeared in the eyes beneath his glasses. "Your Caterpie?"'Abigail is my wife, since when did she become another's?'It was an enmity that only men could see, and Felix could tell that Xander was a very dangerous person. "Yeah, my Caterpie. We have known each other since we were in diapers."Mel, who was so enchanted by Xander's good looks, did not even sense the tension in the air as she leaned over and asked, "Mr. Zane, do you want to know how Caterpie got her nickname?

However, Xander did not care at all, and as if he was in rivalry with Felix, the two kept fighting one another to fill Abigail's plate and soon it was piling up so high that she could not even finish them.Abigail felt that the two men were acting really strange, but she could not put her fingers on what it was.It was until Felix proudly threw this line out. "I've taken care of my Caterpie for almost twenty years now. Our bond is as deep as the ocean, and isn't something that can be compared by just serving her food."Abigail almost choked on her food when she heard that.Felix and Melody were her childhood friends and Xander her boss, it was natural that the three of them were far more intimate but that was not something one would tell Xander in his face.Abigail silently nudged Felix and the latter too realized that he had gone overboard, so he turned to serve Melody instead. "Mel, eat more and fill your belly."It was only then did Melody, who was ignored all this while, pout

"Thank you, Grandma Cassandra! From now on, stay here and focus on getting better. Don't worry about Abigail; I'll take good care of her." After Xander got Cassandra's affirmation, the weight on his chest was finally lifted.Margaret said, "Cassandra, you can't forgive him this easily."Cassandra laughed."It's not up to you and me to decide. Let the kids sort out their own matters. Why worry so much? We don't have many more years to live anyway.""Alright. The younger generation will do all right on their own; we won't interfere," said Margaret. She turned to Xander and continued, "But if you dare mistreat Abigail the slightest bit again, I'll be the first to kill you.""Don't you two worry. It definitely won't happen in the future."After Xander bade the two old ladies goodbye, he hurried back to Florivera.On the way back, Paxton finally noticed how pale Xander looked."Mr. Zane, you don't look so good."Xander pressed his abdomen as he closed his eyes and leaned back in th

Xander held Abigail's hand and bowed at Alfred."Thank you, Mr. Bianco. This is my wife, Abigail. Abigail, this is Mr. Bianco, my close friend and also my mentor in life."'The two have an over 60-year age gap but can still become close friends. This really is an enviable friendship,' thought Abigail.When faced with such a beautiful friendship, the embarrassment Abigail had from holding Xander's hand disappeared. She said sweetly, "Hello, Mr. Bianco!""Pleased to meet you, kiddo!" Alfred was nearly 100 years old, and Abigail was much younger than his granddaughter. In his eyes, Abigail's age was of a child's. "If you don't mind, you're welcome to frequent my house in the future," said Alfred."Pleased to meet you too, Mr. Bianco!" Abigail took out her hand from Xander's and shook Alfred's hand. Just as she retracted her hand, Xander held it again.Abigail was speechless.'There's no need to constantly hold hands even if we're really husband and wife, right? Wouldn't doing so se
