Semua Bab Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Bab 1541 - Bab 1550

The traffic jam was a nightmare, stretching on for what felt like an eternity. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the line of cars finally began to inch forward.After Mitch had been crawling in traffic for nearly half an hour, he accelerated his car into a sprint on the open road, with Robbie's car following closely behind.Stella kept glancing back, and Mitch noticed. "What's up, Stella? What are you looking at?""Just checking out the traffic," Stella replied.Mitch scoffed. "Around the holidays? Forget it. Everyone's heading back to their hometowns for the holidays. Our little village's roads are always jam-packed."Their county, a hub for workers migrating to bigger cities for jobs, usually felt like a ghost town, populated mostly by the elderly and children. It was only during holiday times that the streets buzzed with life, filled with the energy of the younger crowd.Mitch continued, "White Corporation has poured a ton of cash into developing our county's tourism. If th

Abigail's voice, gentle and soothing, echoed from the phone, "I've noticed you've been hitting the hay early lately. What's up tonight? Something on your mind?"Stella nodded slightly. "Yeah," she responded.Abigail's question was spot-on. "Did Lucas swing by to see you?"Stella's eyes widened instantly. "Abigail, I'm starting to think you're a mind reader."Abigail chuckled. "No mind reading, just know you too well. I know Lucas is the only one who can get under your skin like this."Stella sighed. "Do you think I'm being foolish?"Abigail's expression turned serious and firm. "Don't you dare talk about yourself like that. You're amazing, beautiful, and totally savvy. You got to believe in yourself."Stella responded, "I'm not putting myself down, just stating the obvious. Lucas hurt me badly, yet here I am, unable to stop thinking about him. I can't even sleep because I bumped into him."Abigail replied, "You know what they say, falling for someone might take a second, but ge

Nathan's temper flared the moment someone dared to speak ill of his wife, causing his voice to drop to an ominous, threatening growl. "Lucas!"Lucas, caught off-guard, quickly clarified, "I meant no disrespect. I was just saying your wife is smart, that's all."Nathan said, "Their video call is over, and so is this conversation. We'll talk some other time."The line went dead with a harsh beep, and this left Lucas fuming. He knew Nathan had called just to rile him up, but he was powerless to retaliate.As Lucas stared into the sky, he felt his mind haunted by the words Nathan had thrown at him: "Leave the father, keep the child."The thought that Stella might want only the child, not him, burned in his heart like a fire. But then, the idea that Stella might want a child with him, to make him a father, seemed better than having no connection at all.With this thought, Lucas found the bitter words easier to swallow.Meanwhile, Stella, just off the video call and wide awake, found

Abigail locked eyes with Nathan, seeing the genuine concern in his gaze. She knew full well the depth of his care for her. His worry was inevitable after hearing those words.Abigail made a daring move, reaching out with her hand, curling it around his neck, and pulling him into a fiery kiss. "Don't you know how much you mean to me?" she breathed.Nathan replied, "I do, but I need to hear it from you."Instead of words, Abigail chose to show him, through actions louder than any declaration, just how much he meant to her.As the night deepened and slipped silently into the late hours, Abigail, on the brink of sleep, was jolted awake by Nathan's deep and resonant voice. "Honey, you still haven't told me, who's more important in your heart, me or our son?"Stunned by his question, Abigail could not fathom why Nathan would ask something so juvenile, especially after her passionate display of affection."Honey..." Nathan began.Taking his hand, Abigail placed it over her heart. "Hubb

Stella firmly held Lucas's hand which was touching her. "I haven't finished stating my conditions, why are you in such a hurry?"Lucas was extremely impatient. "Stella, can we talk about this after we finish making a baby?"Stella looked unhappy. "Lucas White!"Lucas immediately behaved himself upon hearing that. "Okay, speak. I'm listening."Stella said, "I've already made it clear just now. I only want the child, not you. Even if we meet outside in the future, we have to pretend not to know each other. If you dare to acknowledge me without my consent, I'll make sure you never see me again."Lucas remained silent.He thought, 'What did Abigail teach Stella? How could Stella propose such harsh conditions? Her conditions will prevent me from reconciling with her. But other than agreeing, I have no other choice.'Lucas nodded. "Stella, you should spend less time with Abigail."Stella raised an eyebrow. "You're no one to me. Who I spend time with has nothing to do with you."Luca
