Lahat ng Kabanata ng Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO: Kabanata 831 - Kabanata 840

Malcolm said, "Because you're so great, lots of people are jealous of you."Xander raised an eyebrow and said, "Huh?"Malcolm continued, "Abigail isn't just a pretty woman; she's also smart and knows exactly what she wants. From what I know about her, she wouldn't put all her feelings and her whole life into just one guy. Even if she's your wife, she wouldn't dare give you her whole heart. She'd keep a little back, just in case. If you ever change your mind, she could leave."If Malcolm's previous words were nonsense, these words were wise ones. Xander never thought Abigail would worry so much. Since she was his wife, she would always be his wife. He would not let her leave.Malcolm went on, "Do you like Abigail?"Xander replied, "She's my wife."Malcolm asked, "I asked if you like her, not if she's your wife. Being married doesn't mean you have to like each other."Xander said, "Of course, I like her."Malcolm perked up. "Abigail is the first and only girl you've liked in almo

Abigail was drunk and confused, unsure of what she could or could not say. She kept venting her frustration, "He married you, but then he says you're not good enough to have his child. Does he think he's some old-time king and needs someone to inherit his throne?" Once the words left her mouth, Abigail realized something. There was no royal throne in Lucas's family, but there was White Corporation. It was a big business that needed someone to take over one day. She could not fault him for that, so she changed her tune and continued, "You're right, that man is no good. He likes another woman, but he married you. After that, he said you can't have his child. Stella, just divorce him. He doesn't love you, and we don't love him. We can make our own money. Why should we rely on men?"Stella said, "You think I don't want to leave him? I wish I could, but as long as Lucas holds on, I'll never escape."Abigail asked, "Is he sick or something? Why would he keep you if he doesn't love you?"S

"It really is you!" The man looked at Xander, his eyes showing challenge and scorn. "You're the CEO of Zane Corporation, and you want to control everything. Now you want to control who I like too?"Xander's eyes looked really scary behind his silver glasses. "Get out!" he said."Fine, you want me to go? I'll go then." The man got up and started to walk away. After a couple of steps, he looked back at Abigail. "Hey, pretty woman, you sure look beautiful, but you're making a bad choice. Don't just think someone's good 'cause they look nice. You've gotta see if they're really good on the inside too. Some folks might look all friendly, but who knows? They might be meanies on the inside."Abigail could tell that these two did not like each other one bit. But she was not going to let anyone be mean to her husband. "People say ladies talk too much, but you're a grown-up man and you talk a lot too. I know my husband way better than you. You won't win, no matter what you're trying to do. So

Xander did not worry about what other people thought. He was on top and so strong that everyone looked up to him. But Abigail's job at Zane Corporation was different. She was just starting, and her work was not as important. Some people liked her only because of Xander. Others did not like her for the same reason. If she was not the best, she had to care what people said. Being afraid of what people said was something she knew very well, and it bothered her a lot.As Xander was thinking about how to comfort her, Abigail shifted slightly against his back, finding a more comfortable position. She suddenly asked, "Why don't you want to have a baby with me?"Xander was surprised and thought, 'Did she have too much juice at dinner tonight?' Then he said, "I'm not against having a baby with you."Abigail leaned close and said, "You big liar! Last time I asked you to have a baby with me, you said you didn't want to."Xander gently lifted her with his strong hand. "I think having a baby sh

"It's just a meeting; whether it happens or not doesn't matter," Xander said, quickly bringing her a glass of water. "Here, drink some to soothe your throat."Abigail was silent. 'He says it's just a meeting and doesn't matter? Is this something Xander would say? What has changed him so much overnight?'Seeing her just staring and not taking the glass, Xander patiently coaxed, "Open up and drink. I put throat-soothing candy in it. If you don't, your throat might not feel better for days."'He even knew that my throat might not feel better for days? Why didn't he think of that last night?' Abigail was a little annoyed, but she did not want to hurt herself. So, she obediently opened her mouth and sipped the water. Afterward, her throat felt much better.Xander placed the glass back on the nightstand and gently messed up her hair. "I'll get something for you to eat. You eat first, then go back to sleep.""No need, I'm not sleepy. I'll get up and eat on my own," Abigail replied, notic
