Semua Bab Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Bab 161 - Bab 170

Not only did Abigail not snatch his cigarette, but she did not even raise her head to look at him.Xander was speechless.He thought, 'Is it possible that Abigail didn't see me about to smoke?'He then vigorously pressed the lighter several times making a few clicking sounds. He finally managed to catch Abigail's attention.Xander leaned forward slightly to make it easier for Abigail to take the cigarette away from his hand...But Abigail gave him Felix's lighter with her hands instead. She said, "Mr. Zane, your lighter isn't working. Use this."He thought to himself again, 'She was so worried when Felix wanted to smoke. But when I wanted to smoke, she actually gave me a lighter instead of stopping me.'I have to wonder if she's trying to kill me sooner so that she can marry another man?!'Xander looked at the lighter in front of him. His face darkened slightly as he asked, "Did I ask you for a lighter?"Abigail was at a loss for words.She thought, 'His lighter wasn't functi

Felix said, "I see. Then we should choose the more expensive one."Abigail responded, "But I really want to try The Parlour's brains and eggs. I want to know what's the difference between expensive and cheap brains and eggs."Melody said, "Caterpie, wake up. You're not the one who's going there to eat."Abigail responded, "I can't eat it. But I can think about it right?"Melody said, "I'll work harder to make more money. I'll bring you two to eat it when I have the money."Abigail said, "Okay. It'll depend on you whether I can eat it."They arrived at their destination for the day after booking a table at the restaurant.Felix and Melody came here a few times. So, they knew quite well about the properties here. They had told Abigail the pros and cons of these properties.The apartments at Lakeside were improved types of residential properties. The smallest unit was one thousand and seven hundred square feet. While the biggest unit was two thousand and five hundred square feet.

Brandon asked, "What do you mean?""I previously agreed to date you because you were nice to me. Since we hadn't even really officially started dating, neither of us will lose anything if we break it off early," said Melody.Brandon still thought he had been wronged. "Why aren't you listening to my mother if you know I'm nice to you?"Melody was amused by his confrontation. "Why should I listen to your mother? Who is she to me? You're nobody to me, either. Yet you want me to register the property I'm buying under your name, and you're not letting me buy a property on my own? Do you really take me for an idiot?"The woman rushed over in a panic when she saw her son get bullied. "You bitch. You pester my son every day, make him buy you food and things, and now you want to break up? Alright, pay my son back the money he spent on you first."Melody asked, "Why didn't I know I had spent your money before, Brandon?""I treated you to spicy marinara pasta the night before, and you didn'

"Mhm. You're very right. That's also what I have in mind." Xander looked at her, and his eyes were slightly tinted with loneliness. "But she hasn't forgiven me. Help me come up with an idea on what I should do."'So that's why! I've been too full of myself recently. I can't believe I naively thought Mr. Zane was purposefully finding time to be alone with me,' thought Abigail.She thought for a while and said, "Mr. Zane, if you really want to reconcile with your wife, then you shouldn't care about your reputation. You should apologize if you need to, get on your knees if you need to, and buy her gifts if you need to. Anything that'll get her to forgive you is good."'Get on my knees? She wants me to get on my knees for her? How could I—a man—easily get on my knees?!' he thought."Let's go pick out a gift first." Xander smiled in resignation. Then, he stepped on the gas pedal and sped up the car.They drove all the way down south from Florivera Highway and turned into Florivera Firs

Xander did not immediately continue the conversation, knowing Abigail liked dresses and hence he had come to Samantha's place to find luxury goods for her. After a moment of silence, Samantha asked, "Are you serious about being with her?"Xander smiled and replied, "She's my wife. Who else would if I don't?"Samantha smiled bitterly. "You said you're not interested in a relationship and don't have feelings for me when I asked you out during our university years. I even believed you when you said you wouldn't want one in your lifetime until I received the news of your marriage recently. When my anger had not subsided, you even had the gall to ask me to sell the dress my mentor and I made together. What's more? You brought the person along even when I had not agreed to it. Mr. Zane, are you intentionally trying to piss me off?"Xander replied, "I'm not pulling your leg. Anyone I marry is the same to me, someone to live together with, as long as it makes Grandmother happy."What Xande
