Semua Bab Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Bab 1121 - Bab 1130

After briefly considering it, Abigail dismissed the thought. However, Louis's comment caught her off guard.Louis said, "Your grandpa Mike died young. You've never seen him, have you? I bet there isn't even a photo of him at your place."Abigail went quiet, processing what Louis had said. The stories from her grandmother were her only source of knowledge about her grandfather. As a child, she had seen how her grandmother would get upset whenever her grandfather was mentioned. With time, they spoke of him less frequently. Abigail had always thought her grandmother's sadness stemmed from her grandfather's early death due to an illness. Growing up, she rarely brought him up, and neither did her grandmother. She suspected there could be more to this.Louis said, "I had someone investigate. Your father Leroy and Harvey were raised by just your grandma. There was no Mike Renee."'If there wasn't a grandpa, then how did my dad come into the picture?' Abigail said, "No way! That's not poss

Abigail said, "Searching for them doesn't mean he's off the hook for what happened." She remembered a touching letter from her grandmother's diary that had deeply moved her, even before she realized who wrote it. Back then, having a baby without being married brought a lot of gossip. When the guy who had promised to be there for her disappeared after their child was born, she was left to face all the nasty talk from the neighbors alone. Compared to that, Abigail felt her own problems were not that big. Even with her friends' and Cassandra's support, she had tough times. But how her grandmother got through her even harder challenges was something she never talked about. It was as if she wanted to forget that time in her life completely. Abigail continued, her voice shaking, "I read her last letter. She felt so alone. I wonder if he ever understood just how much she suffered."Louis urged, "Abigail, let me explain."Abigail said sharply, "He should've known his family would have issues

"Do you remember the letter in my grandma's diary?" Abigail asked.Xander nodded. "Of course."Abigail continued, "Did it make you sad for the mother who wrote it? Imagine if she hadn't died and got to raise her child—"Interrupting, Xander said, "Wait, you know about this?"Abigail hesitated for a moment. "When did you find out?"Xander replied, "After I read that letter, I believed it was something your grandma wrote. I looked into it and discovered some interesting stuff.""What did you find out?" Abigail asked.Xander replied, "Mike Renee, the man you believed was your grandfather? He wasn't real. Your grandma created him. When she moved to North Florivera with your dad, she claimed she was a widow, but no one ever knew or met this 'Mike'."Abigail murmured, "I never figured that out."Xander, rubbing her back, said, "When you're directly involved, it's harder to see things clearly. But outsiders? Sometimes they get a better view. Don't beat yourself up about it.""How di

Abigail nestled into Xander's embrace. "Where were you this afternoon? Johann introduced me to everyone, and I thought you'd be right there with me. But once we got to the Blau residence, I couldn't find you. I haven't seen you since."Xander gently cradled her face. "Did you miss me?"Abigail nodded. "A lot, actually." She realized it was hard to remember a time when Xander was not a significant part of her life.Xander's heart fluttered. He had always hoped she would feel that way. "Really?"Blushing, Abigail whispered, "Every moment you were gone, you were on my mind."Xander looked at her, hesitating. "It's not always good to be too attached, Abigail."Abigail, clearly frustrated, snapped, "Nathan, I'm saying I missed you, and you're lecturing me? Just tell me you felt the same."Xander tried to explain, "Feelings start when two people click, but in the end, you've got to think things through."Growing more irritated, Abigail shot back, "What's your deal, Nathan? Are you tr

Johann said, "Alright, off you go. But be safe; I don't want to see Abigail upset."Xander nodded. "I'll do my best." If anything were to happen to him, he would make sure Abigail would be okay, even if he was not around.As Xander walked toward the staircase and out of view, Johann murmured, "Something's off about him."Coming out of the bathroom, Abigail overheard and asked, "Who's off, Johann?"Johann pulled Abigail close, studying her face before asking, "What did Louis want with you? Did he bother you?"Abigail smiled. "He said he'd have my back."Johann looked skeptical. "Really?"She nodded. "Yeah. Speaking of which, have you seen Xander?""He mentioned heading back to Florivera."Abigail's eyes widened. "He left without me?" As she reached for her phone, planning to call Xander, she saw a new message from him.Xander: [Abigail, I need to go to Pleasia for work. Please stay in Valtara and enjoy some time with Johann. I'll get you once I'm back, and we'll return home to
