Abigail's Absent Husband Is A CEO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 251 - チャプター 260

Both elderly ladies were content with the clothing, and Abigail was delighted. "Grandmas, I'm going to wash these new clothes before you wear them.""Don't trouble yourself, dear." Margaret beckoned her to sit down. "We have someone to take care of the laundry. Nathan has seen to it. You're not here often, so just sit with us and chat."Abigail had come intending to dote on the elderly ladies but soon discovered the caretaker Nathan had hired was doing an exceptional job. From taking care of the elderly ladies to tending to the garden and keeping the house spotless, Abigail found no room for her intended kindness. It dawned on her then that Nathan was far more attentive than she had given him credit for. This realization only served to endear him more to her heart. On a scale of ten, Nathan already held a commendable eight in her book.Margaret, who was keenly hopeful for the young couple's future, switched the topic to Xander as soon as they settled down. "Abigail, you mentioned yo

"Are you suggesting you're not?" Margaret could not believe he had the nerve to ask such a question. 'Who doesn't know he's a man who would go to any lengths to achieve his goals? In the ten years since he took over Zane Corporation, hasn't he demonstrated that time and time again?'"If Grandma thinks I am, then I guess I must be." Xander unlocked the door, stepped into the room, and promptly locked the door behind him.Margaret was frustrated enough to pound on the door, but upon reflection, she knew her headstrong grandson had his principles and pride, and he would not force himself onto a girl.Xander moved to sit beside Abigail's bed, gently adjusting the covers over her, and then simply watched her in silence. From his viewpoint, the first thing that caught his eye was her long, curling eyelashes, as beautiful as a doll's. Her skin was incredibly smooth and fair, reminiscent of a freshly peeled egg, not a single flaw visible. Xander could not resist and extended his slender fin

This sudden revelation sent a surge of alarm through Abigail, her heart pounding in her throat as though it were ready to leap right out. Almost on instinct, she sprang back, inadvertently slamming her head against the car window behind her, which shot stars across her vision in a symphony of pain. Ignoring the throbbing in her skull, she darted a quick glance at Xander. To her immense relief, he seemed to still be asleep, oblivious to the whole ordeal. Breathing a sigh of relief, she found herself patting her chest in an attempt to steady her pounding heart.'Since Xander has no idea I just fell asleep on his shoulder, I'll act as if nothing happened,' she reasoned silently. 'Yes, as long as I keep my mouth shut, nobody will know I slept on his shoulder.'Just as she was silently consoling herself, Xander's eyes fluttered open. His gaze bore into her from beneath the silver-rimmed glasses, lending an almost eerie intensity to his countenance. The sudden scrutiny startled Abigail int

'His wife's name is Abigail Renee too. Same first and last name as mine!Suddenly, all of his unreasonable behaviors could be explained.'Back then, when he was drunk and said my name was bad luck, that was because he was having a conflict with his wife. So, he took out his rage on me.'But now, when he treats me so well, that's just because I have the same name as his wife. I just benefited from having the same name as her. And yet, I still foolishly thought that he was interested in me.'Abigail finally understood why his voice was so sweet whenever he called her name.Xander spoke again. "My wife is brilliant. She deserves to be cherished and spoiled. I've decided that I'll be with her for the rest of my life. I won't be with another woman."Abigail responded, "I know that."Xander asked, "Do you?"He wanted to tell her that he had decided to spend his life with her. But, she knew nothing. She even constantly thought of drawing the line with him.His lawfully registered wif

Finnigan had a chill running down his spine upon hearing that. He responded, "Mr. Zane, you have a wonderful sense of humor."Xander raised his dashing eyebrows slightly. He stared coldly at Finnigan and asked, "Do you think I'm joking?"Finnigan clearly knew that Xander was not kidding. He was fully prepared when he agreed to take this job. He responded, "Mr. Zane, why don't you ask your wife's opinion before we make a decision.""Just be prepared." Xander went to the first floor. He then immediately saw Esther, who he had called to accompany Abigail, curled up on the couch. She was holding her phone and laughing like a fool. He asked, "Esther, how old are you?"Esther raised her head to glance at Xander before she lowered her head to look at her phone again. She responded, "Xander, you don't even know my age? You really don't love me at all. I'll tell you; I'll be twenty-three after Easter."Xander said in his deep voice, "You know you're almost twenty-three. And yet, you still
