100 Days to Seduce the Devil-Chapter 348 Abi... I Love You

Day Forty-One...

~~*****~~

The Family Day event was a success. Everyone enjoyed it, most especially Ethan. He got tired and ended up falling asleep in the car. They were now on their way to the mansion. Ethan's head lay on Abigail's lap.

"He is so exhausted," Nathan mumbled, breaking the silence.

Abigail smiled and bobbed her head. "But he is happy. Look. Even in his sleep, he is smiling."

Nathan took off his coat and used it to cover Ethan's body. He reached out to stroke his hair. As Ethan's father, he was grateful for today. He could see how joyful his son was during the entire event.

"Thank you, Abi. You made my son happy." Nathan sounded so sincere when he expressed his gratitude toward her.

Abigail turned in his direction, watching Nathan in amusement. She had never imagined that Nathan would feel grateful to her just like this.

"No need to thank me. Ethan is very close to my heart. I will do anything to make him happy." Abigail looked down, gently caressing Ethan's face.

"I'm going back to Dave's condo unit," Abigail suddenly brought up this topic. She was hoping that Nathan would stop her and ask her to stay in the mansion. She had been waiting for the three words: I Miss You. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

However, Nathan just bobbed his head before looking away. There was a moment of deafening silence afterward. No one spoke between them until they reached the mansion.

Ethan was still asleep when Nathan carried him and put him down on his bed. Abigail kissed Ethan goodnight before she decided to leave. She thought Nathan would not send her off but when she reached the gate, Nathan called her.

"Abi... wait."

Abigail faced Nathan, giving him a questioning look. "Yes? Do you have something to tell me?" She got her hopes up. But she was disappointed when Nathan told her something else.

"Let me send you. I'll drive." Nathan volunteered to drive her home, instead of asking the chauffeur to send Abigail back to Dave's condo unit.

"Okay." Abigail didn't say no. She wondered why Nathan volunteered to send her home.

Nathan guided her to the car. He opened the car door for her before he stepped into the driver's seat. He glanced at Abigail. When he saw her not wearing her seatbelt, Nathan leaned closer, buckling her seatbelt.

Abigail just blinked numerous times, observing Nathan. He was acting so thoughtful and caring toward her today. They were no longer in the eyes of the public but Nathan continued acting so kind to her.

"Ethan might look for you when he wakes up. What should I tell him?" Nathan asked her as he started the engine. Nathan maneuvered the car, driving it out of the garage.

"Just tell him the truth. He knows that I'm going back to his Uncle Dave's place tonight," Abigail responded nonchalantly.

Nathan maintained his blank expression but his grip on the steering wheel tightened. He thought Abigail would change her mind once he mentioned Ethan's name. But she still insisted on going back to Dave's place.

Nathan concentrated on driving. He never spoke again. He didn't know how he would open up another conversation with her. Abigail chose to remain silent as well.

She just leaned her head on the headrest of the seat and closed her eyes. She decided to take a short nap. It had heavy traffic tonight, that's why they were stuck on the road. Little did she know, Nathan already anticipated this traffic and he chose to drive through the road that was having heavy traffic.

Nathan was stealing glances at her from time to time. 'She is exhausted too.' Nathan's lips curled up at that thought. Abigail was very competitive during the games. She was determined to win every event, just like Ethan.

'Like mother, like son,' Nathan's subconscious spoke up. But Nathan immediately shook his head, disregarding that idea. Abigail was not Ethan's mother. How could he say like mother, like son?

"I'm crazy," Nathan murmured, scolding himself. "I just got carried away."

Shaking his head, Nathan brought his attention back to the road. After half an hour, they arrived at Dave's condo unit. Nathan gazed at Abigail. She fell asleep. He was contemplating whether to wake her up or not.

However, before he could decide, Abigail moved and she woke up. Her body noticed that the car stopped. She rubbed her eyes and looked around. "Did we arrive?"

"Yes..." Nathan reluctantly said. He had the urge to drive away, bringing Abigail back to the mansion.

"Thanks, Nate. Drive carefully." Abigail bade goodbye to Nathan before she stepped out of the car. She didn't wait for Nathan to open the car door. Abigail waved at him, urging him to leave. But Nathan stayed there, watching her. He was waiting for Abigail to enter the building. Somewhere in his subconscious, someone was telling him to follow Abigail.

Meanwhile, Abigail entered the building. She took the lift. She was still yawning. "I feel like my energy has been drained today. But it is all worth it. Starting tomorrow, I should start working out and building up my stamina."

Ding!

Abigail finally reached the floor where Dave's unit was located. She promised him that she would come back tonight. She didn't want to break her promise to Dave.

A few seconds later, Abigail was now standing at his front door. Abigail rang the bell.

Ding! Dong!

Abigail heard footsteps inching closer and closer to the door. Dave was already home. When the door was opened, Dave's reddened face came into her view.

'Eh? Why does his face look so red?' 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

Abigail scrunched her nose when she smelled some beer. 'He has been drinking. Is he drunk?'

"Abi..." Dave mumbled her name softly. There was a hint of yearning in his eyes.

Before she could respond, Dave suddenly grabbed her, pulling her against his body. Dave embraced her tightly as if he was afraid to let her go.

"Dave? Are you alright? What's wrong?" Abigail asked him worriedly. Dave was acting so strangely. He might be drunk. She tried to push him away but she couldn't.

"Abi. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry." Dave began apologizing to her. His grip on her body tightened further.

"Please remember me... I love you, Abi. I love you so much."

Abigail's eyes widened, not because of Dave's words, but because of the man standing a few steps away from them. Nathan was there, listening to them.

'Damn! What is he doing here? I thought he already left...'
