Semua Bab Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Bab 1461 - Bab 1470

Nathan became particularly attached to Abigail after they reconciled. Perhaps it was due to his illness or the nearly one-year separation. He would follow wherever she went.Nathan did not socialize much normally. He occasionally went out but quickly returned.His attachment to Abigail left him without personal time and space.Abigail was worried, while Nathan enjoyed this. He said, "My happiest times are with you; I don't need personal time."He would get nervous after being away from Abigail for just a short while.Nathan feared that his current happiness was just a dream. He was afraid that Abigail and Pax would cease to exist once he woke up.He felt at ease only when with his wife and son.Abigail said, "How about we leave Pax with Susanna and Grandma, and I'll go with you?"Nathan's eyes lit up. "Sure."Lucas was not surprised to see Nathan and Abigail holding hands.Knowing Nathan could not drink alcohol, Lucas prepared freshly squeezed fruit juice for him. "Nathan, th

Lucas took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Mitch. "You've rushed here all the way and you must be tired. Why don't you get some rest first?"Mitch took a long puff from his cigarette. "Stella almost lost her life in an accident and we only found out about it today. Do you think we could actually sleep now?""I'm so sorry," Lucas apologized."Do you love my daughter?" Mitch looked at Lucas.The latter nodded. "I do.""And since you love her, let her go and allow me to take her back to our place," Mitch said."Mitch, I want Stella to stay. I hope she can remember me again," Lucas pleaded.Lucas knew that if Stella returned with her parents, she might forget him completely, erasing any memory of their shared past.Mitch then said, "You claim to love her, but reflect on whether it's truly her you love, or the control you hold over her."Taken aback by Mitch's words, Lucas faltered before admitting, "I like her.""You love her? It doesn't seem like it to me," Mitch said.Lu

Lucas was at a loss for words.If it were back then, Lucas would not have cared about issues like that.Back then, he thought marriage was a matter solely between him and Stella and had nothing to do with the people around them. It was only recently that he realized the importance of social circles.The people around him refused to acknowledge Stella, especially his parents, and that would definitely make Stella uncomfortable.After talking about this, the two had nothing else to say and just smoked in silence.Once he was done with the cigarette, Lucas put it out and said, "Mitch, I agreed to allow you to take Stella away, but can I still go in and accompany her?""You should seek Grace's agreement," Mitch said.Yet, at this very moment, Grace walked out of the ward. "Stella is sleeping soundly, don't wake her up."That meant she agreed."Thank you!" Lucas quickly entered Stella's ward.Mitch wiped away his tears and looked worriedly at Grace. "How's Stella...""She's fine.

Stella was in total disbelief. 'Really? He divorced me because of Stellie, yet now he claims there was nothing between them? How can he say that, given how close the two of them seemed? Does he think the injury to my legs somehow affected my intelligence? That's such a weak excuse.'Lucas continued, "All those stories about Stellie and me were just gossip. We barely know each other."Stella felt like screaming. Exhausted from pretending to sleep, she silently pleaded for him to leave her room.But then Lucas said something that really got to her. "I've only ever cared about you. You're the only woman in my life; I haven't been with anyone else."Stella was shocked. 'What's he trying to say? Did he misspeak, or am I hearing things? Is he trying to tell me he was inexperienced before me? And even after we split, he hasn't been with anyone else? What a jerk! He's definitely messing with me.'Lucas whispered, "Stella..."Stella could not take it anymore and let it all out. Her eyes s

'Who deserves this more than Abigail?' Nathan mused, grinning. "Paxton."Nathan's words faded as Paxton, a man of few words, emerged quietly behind a bunch of guys in dark clothes. "Mr. Hart, I've got this."Paxton swiftly approached one of the guys, grabbed his collar, and pushed him against the elevator. "Do you know who I am?"The move surprised the guy, who found himself pressed against the wall. It did not hurt, just really embarrassing.The other guys circled around. "You should know who you're dealing with. Ever heard of the Sandow family?""The Sandow family? My boss thinks they're no big deal," Paxton replied coolly, standing firm. He lifted the guy, placing him back against the elevator but with a bit more force.Nathan, hearing the loud noise, quickly turned his head, concerned the disturbance might wake Abigail and Pax. "Paxton, tone it down. We can't disturb them," he said.Paxton instantly spoke more quietly, "Got it."Nathan used his fingerprint to unlock the doo
