Chapter 175 Seduction Technique 1.0

Day Twenty…

~~*****~~

Abigail facepalmed as she massaged her temples. She had the urge to seal Aiden's mouth. He was so shameless as to suggest that strategy in their first lesson!

"Are you kidding me? Come back here and sit down!" Abigail arched her eyebrow and motioned him to go back to his seat using her index finger.

Aiden smiled anxiously after seeing Abigail's sharp gaze. He obediently sat down beside her, biting his lower lip.

"Don't get mad. I'm just suggesting something that might work out." Aiden defended himself.

Abigail's frown deepened and she faced him with a stern face. "How sure are you?"

"Because Nathan is emotionless. You can't win his affection easily. His feelings are intended only for one woman and that someone is Monica. He is a stone-cold man. So… as a first step… you have to build physical attraction first!" Aiden said confidently. He was certain that his suggestion would work.

Abigail shook her head as she still couldn't believe him. But Aiden didn't stop convincing her. He held her shoulders, turning her to make her look into his eyes.

"Try it once! You will not lose anything. Besides, I'm not asking you to strip naked in front of him… Just show him enough skin… I mean tempt him secretly… but not that obvious."

"If you want to win this challenge! You have to act boldly with no reservation!" Aiden added.

Abigail just eyed him, still feeling doubtful about his suggestion. However, in the back of her mind, she was already considering his advice. Furthermore, Aiden had a point. It was not easy to replace Monica in Nathan's heart. She must exert more effort.

"Fine! Fine! Let me think about it first. Tell me your plan." Abigail was now willing to listen to Aiden's idea and strategy.

Aiden leaned closer to Abigail and whispered his strategy. They were cautious. The house was filled with the eyes and ears of people who were against Abigail. It would be best if those people had no idea about the plan they were both scheming, targeting the Master of the House, Nathan.

Abigail's expression was still uncertain. She didn't know whether she would follow Aiden's advice or not.

'Damn! Can I pull it off?' Abigail asked herself. But she was not the kind of person who would back down from a challenge. She would try her best to do it.

"Act bold and shameless!" Aiden blurted out, snapping Abigail out of her deep thoughts.

"Shush! Be quiet… someone might hear you. Everyone here except Ethan and Butler Li wants to kick me out of the mansion so be careful with your words. They might use it against me," Abigail warned Aiden as she signaled him to stay quiet. Fortunately, no one was around.

"By the way, are you not offering snacks for your visitor?" Aiden stood up, asking Abigail shamelessly. He just wanted to tease her by making Abigail serve him some snacks.

But Abigail had figured out the meaning of his smirk. Instead of going to the kitchen and giving her visitor some snacks, she just pointed her finger at the kitchen door and said, "You are a man. You have feet and hands. Go and get your snacks." She said it with her demanding and authoritative voice.

Aiden could only pout his lips, feeling a little bit disappointed. He thought Abigail would start treating him kindly. But it seemed that Abigail was still cold towards him.

With an upset look on his face, Aiden marched out, going to the kitchen. Little did he know, a surprise was waiting for him in the kitchen.

Cherry just finished cleaning the cooking utensils when someone barged into the kitchen. She was holding the tongs and frying pan when Aiden's face came into her view.

"Do you have any–" Aiden was not able to finish his word when he saw Cherry's face.

'Damn! Is she the woman whom I saved last time… the one who escaped from my house? What is she doing here?'

Aiden's eyes roamed around her figure, sizing her up from top to bottom. Cherry was wearing a cook's uniform. He was still trying to absorb this situation. He had been searching for her for several days now. But he failed to locate her.

"Cherry, is that you?" Aiden finally found his voice back.

Cherry's eyes immediately went round and she closed their gaps. Still holding the frying pan and the tongs in her hands, Cherry anchored her right arm that was holding the tongs around Aiden's neck.

Then Cherry dragged Aiden to the storage room attached to the kitchen. Aiden could only follow her as he was still in a trance.

How could this be? The woman he was looking for was there… in Nathan's mansion! Based on her uniform, he could tell that she was working there as a cook! What a great coincidence was this?!

But Aiden felt relieved that he finally found her. He was so worried for her since dangerous men were chasing after her.

"What are you doing here?" Aiden still asked Cherry even though he already assumed that she was working there.

Cherry shot him a cold sharp glare and pushed him on the closed door using her arm that was holding the frying pan. Aiden had to stretch his neck to avoid the frying pan hitting his face. Cherry's elbow was pressed against his chest, just below his chin.

Aiden closed his eyes when Cherry raised her other hand that was holding the tongs. He thought she was going to hit him. But Cherry just pointed the tips of the tongs in front of his face and started talking to him.

"Keep silent. Pretend that you don't know me. And don't ever mention that incident to anyone here, understand?!" Cherry's tone was threatening but Aiden didn't feel scared. Instead, he found her hot. Well, he had to admit that he missed seeing her.

"Yes. I promise. I won't tell anyone. I'll keep it a secret!" Aiden promptly responded. He was like an obedient puppy to his master.

Cherry heaved a sigh of relief. She didn't want anyone from the mansion, especially Abigail, to know that she had encountered dangerous people. She was enjoying her company and she appreciated her help so she had to keep her identity to stay in the mansion.

"Good. If you say even one word to anyone in this house, I'll fry your egg down there!" Cherry reminded and warned him once again, lowering the frying pan on the level of Aiden's crotch.

Aiden put on a pitiful face as he subconsciously crossed his legs and covered his front using both hands as he shielded his precious 'egg' from Cherry's frying pan.

"Hey! That's below the belt. You can punch my handsome face all you want but please, my lady, leave my precious brother alone. The future descendants of the Wu Family depend on it." Aiden mumbled, acting so cute and pitiful in front of Cherry.

Cherry's lips twitched but she fought the urge to laugh. She just let go of Aiden and kept a small distance between them. She had to admit that Aiden looked cute and charming right now.

"Now, go back there and act natural. Okay?"

Aiden was still reluctant to leave as he wanted to stay with her in that closed room. At least, in there, he didn't have to pretend that he didn't know her. And he wanted to ask her more questions. But he had no choice. Cherry was already sending him away.

'Hmm, it's fine. I can still see her tomorrow. Ahuh! I find another reason to visit Sparks Mansion regularly. I will use my coaching session with Abigail as an excuse to visit here as I want.' Aiden smiled inwardly as he left the storage room. He already had something to look forward to starting tomorrow!

*****

[ Seven hours later after Aiden visited the mansion… ]

Abigail kept pacing back and forth inside her room. She was thinking about the strategy she had talked about with Aiden. Aiden pestered her today until she was convinced to do it!

"I feel nervous but… I think I should give it a try." Abigail mumbled. Then she turned around looking at the wall clock. Nathan would be arriving in a few minutes together with Ethan. He dropped by the school to fetch his son.

Abigail took a deep breath and grabbed her phone as she texted someone as her accomplice for today's mission. After sending her message, Abigail entered her bathroom and took a shower.

*Thirty Minutes Later*

Nathan and Ethan arrived home. Ethan didn't wait for his father as he headed upstairs to see Abigail. It did not take long when both Ethan and Butler Li descended the stairs, running in Nathan's direction as he called him.

"Dad! Dad!"

Nathan glanced at his son with a puzzled look on his face. Why were they running? Was there an emergency?

"Dad! Come! Something happened to Miss Abi. We need your help! She's in her room!"

Nathan frowned but he reacted quickly as he heard the urgency in Ethan's voice. Unknowingly, Nathan dashed upstairs going to Abigail's room.

Bam!

Nathan pushed the door open and he heard Ethan and Butler Li saying the word "Bathroom."

Nathan didn't waste time as he sprinted toward Abigail's bathroom which wasn't locked at all.

Upon entering the bathroom, Nathan automatically halted on his steps as soon as he saw Abigail's state. She was sitting on the floor while leaning her back on the side of the tub. She looked like she was in pain.

But Nathan couldn't proceed further when he noticed that Abigail was only wearing a thin satin bathrobe that was not enough to cover her body, revealing more skin before his eyes!

"Hey, Nate! Don't just stand there. Help me out, please. I can't stand. You have to carry me!" Abigail demanded, trying to look pitiful in his eyes. She even extended both her hands in front of him, motioning him to carry her.

Nathan: "..."
