Semua Bab Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Bab 601 - Bab 610

Shawn said, "Why do you care so much about looks when you're a man?"Malcolm replied, "A good-looking person, no matter the gender, will always be popular. I'd rather not be like unsold goods."Abigail interjected, "So you're looking at yourself like some merchandise now, Malcolm?"Malcolm retorted, "I can't win against what you say. Please stop talking to me."Xander replied, "You'd better treat Abigail more nicely.""Abigail is clearly bullying me, yet you're defending her..." Malcolm suddenly had a moment of realization. "Xander, you made fun of me so you can marry Abigail, right?"'There's no need to. She's already married to me.' Xander was more jovial when he thought of that, and he lightened his tone. "Why don't you make a guess?"Malcolm was speechless."Who wants to marry whom?" The sound of Max, the host for tonight suddenly came from behind them, not far away.He smiled as he approached them. "I've heard you arrived and even brought your wife along with you, Xander,

Daisy was immersed in the conversation with the rich ladies."I heard last year that a mysterious rich man spent 200 million dollars on his wife and bought a necklace called Astre Eternel, which signified eternal love. I was wondering who that generous man was. Never in my mind did I expect it to be Mr. Guzman," one of the women said.Another continued, "Everyone in Florivera knows Mr. Guzman loves his wife. It's not surprising he would spend that kind of money on her.""Do you know the main reason he's so generous?" the third person in the group asked."What?" The rest wanted to know.The wealthy lady who asked the question continued, "Because his wife is gorgeous. Come closer and take a good look, girls. Not only is she good-looking, but her face is also flawless. There's literally no sign of aging."Daisy was in her forties and took care of herself very well. Though, there was no resisting the laws of nature; she still had a few wrinkles here and there.The women started prai

Max handed Xander a glass of wine and said, "Let's drink?"Before Xander could reply, Abigail immediately stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Guzman. Mr. Zane is unwell and can't drink for the time being."Max frowned, and there was a fierce look in his eyes. 'I was talking to Xander, not you,' he thought. However, he did not dare to say it out loud. He knew how much Xander cared for her.Max forced a smile and said, "I don't know if it's appropriate to say this, Ms. Renee. But...""If that's the case, maybe you shouldn't say anything, Mr. Guzman," Abigail voiced out.Max was taken aback by her response. It took him a long time before saying, "I just wanted to remind you something. Don't you think you're a little out of line here? The person who should be worrying about whether Mr. Zane drinks or not is his wife, not his assistant.""I don't think so. It seems like you're the one who's out of line," Xander said as he gave Max a displeased look. "My wife doesn't like it when

Abigail's heart ached after hearing those words. "Mallory, you shouldn't be living your life for someone else. You should live for yourself. Do you understand?"To understand the concept was one thing, but to execute it was not an easy task, especially for someone like Mallory. She had the blood of the Guzman family in her. Everything she ate, used, and wore was given to her by the Guzmans. Max often told her that a useless person like her would not have the things she had without the generosity of their family.In the beginning, Mallory stood up for herself because she felt she was not useless. But as time went by, she began to agree with Max. 'There's no way I could live alone without the Guzmans. I probably wouldn't even survive for a month.'Mallory tilted her head and held back the tears in her eyes. "It's not that I don't want to, Abigail. I just can't do it.""Who says you can't?" Abigail could not stand Mallory's negativity. "Tell me, Mallory, which university did you gradu

"Who should I trust if not him? You?" Abigail responded.Xander said nothing. His mesmerizing eyes narrowed slightly beneath the rims of his glasses, quietly looking at Abigail.Ron laughed. "Would a trustworthy man pretend to be loyal yet sleeps around with other women?"Abigail frowned in displeasure. "You know best what happened that day, Mr. Hagrid. Don't try to accuse Mr. Zane of things he hasn't done."Xander was not surprised that Abigail defended him. What surprised him was that she had seen him "cheat" on her with Mallory but chose to believe him after he explained himself. She also did not have any doubts despite what everyone was saying. It was great to be trusted by someone. A warm feeling rushed into Xander's heart, and he could feel the butterflies.He slowly walked up to Abigail with elegance and held her hand. "Ron, may I formally introduce you to my wife—Abigail," he said as he emphasized the last three words.Xander no longer wanted to wait any longer. He wanted
