Chapter 208 The Devil Is Very Obedient

Day Twenty Three...

~~*****~~

Little Ethan could only smile watching the cute interaction between his Dad and Miss Abi. Though they looked like they were fighting and arguing, no one could deny that the two have chemistry.

Abigail just remained on her chair as she watched Nathan moving across the kitchen. She didn't expect that Ethan's strategy would work.

Before, she was the one who was cooking food for Nathan. But now, it was Nathan serving her as if she was the master of this house.

'Everything is possible when it comes to Ethan. He is like a lucky charm.' Abigail thought to herself as she glanced at Ethan. The young boy had been rooting for her and he was backing her up.

'Sigh. I am becoming more guilty for killing his mom...' Abigail dropped her shoulders while sighing deeply.

Abigail was getting more attached to Little Ethan. Her fondness for him was the factor that triggered her conscience.

'I shouldn't have killed his mother. This wouldn't happen if I didn't accept that mission. Now, I started to regret it.' Abigail became gloomy and feeling down.

When she looked at the father and son duo, she could understand why Nathan hated her so much. 'Nathan has a deep resentment as Phantomflake. He didn't want to give me a peaceful death just to avenge his Monica. Should I apologize to him once I wake up in my real body?'

Abigail immediately shook her head, disregarding that idea. She was supposed to avenge the death of her fellow assassins. Why was she thinking of apologizing to Nathan?

Furthermore, she wasn't certain if she could make Nathan fall for her within one hundred days. If her mission failed, then she would die.

The only person she was worried about right now was Cherry. She would be alone once again. 'I have to make sure that Cherry will live a new life. She has to forget what happened in the past and move on.'

Abigail was worried that Cherry would try to get her revenge against the Syphiruz Mafia. Her life would be put in danger if she would go against Nathan.

'Sigh, what should I do? Should I warn her about Nathan's identity or just hide his true identity from her to keep Cherry safe?' Abigail was so lost in her thoughts when Nathan and Ethan joined her at the dining table.

Nathan served the food to Abigail. He was supposed to bring it upstairs as breakfast in bed but he recooked several times until Abigail woke up. He missed the chance to surprise her with breakfast in bed.

"Come, let's eat," Nathan mumbled, snapping Abigail back to the present.

Abigail just nodded her head but she maintained her cold front as if she was not satisfied at all with this gesture.

"What do you plan to do today?" Nathan opened up a conversation with Abigail. This kind of conversation was also included in the To-Do List.

[ To-Do List: Engage in a light conversation with her. ]

"Nothing. You grounded me for two weeks, remember?" Abigail scowled at Nathan.

Nathan awkwardly smiled, turning at his son, Ethan. 'Help me, son!'

Nathan and Abigail immediately turned in Ethan's direction. Both of them were caught off guard by his question.

After a while, Nathan averted his gaze back to Abigail. He somehow scanned Abigail's body in order to answer Ethan's question.

"Her current figure is not bad... But I think she needs to gain a little weight for her to become huggable."

Abigail: "..."

Ethan let out a soft chuckle and made another comment. "How do you know that her current figure is not huggable? Did you hug Miss Abi, Dad?"

Nathan: "..."

Ethan's follow-up question made Nathan speechless. That was too blunt. How could he admit that he already hugged her or did something more than just a hug in front of his son?

Abigail also looked away as she was too embarrassed to hear such a frank and straightforward question from a little boy. Furthermore, this little boy was Nathan's son!

"I just estimated it..." Nathan lied.

Ethan just bobbed his head while giving them a teasing smile.

Nathan: 'Why do I feel like my son didn't believe my words?'

Abigail: 'I feel conscious whenever Little Ethan will smile like that...'

Meanwhile, at Red Dragon Mafia Branch Headquarters here in Country M, the Dragon Lord was still disappointed because of what happened yesterday.

Mr. Hiroshi canceled their meeting and he didn't even get the chance to see him personally. The Dragon Lord felt like the leader of the Sawada Clan ditched him for a reason. But for what reason?

"They said that the old man was desperate to find a certain someone. So why did he suddenly cancel our negotiation? Did he find that person? Did he change his mind to seek my help?" The Dragon Lord shared his concerns with Spade.

Spade went there to report something important but the Dragon Lord looked gloomy as soon as he entered his office.

"I can't answer you, Boss. If only I can hack a human's mind, I might give you the right answer." Spade cracked some jokes to lighten the mood. But the Dragon Lord just gave him a cold sharp glare, erasing the smile on Spade's face.

"I'm sorry, Boss. I didn't mean to upset you further with my jokes," Spade apologized right away.

"So why are you here?" The Dragon Lord frowned deeply as he questioned his subordinate.

Spade smiled once more as he remembered that he was there to report a piece of good news. This might change their Dragon Lord's mood.

"Boss! I have good news for you! I'm sure you will be glad to hear this!" Spade said enthusiastically.

The Dragon Lord suddenly became interested. "What is it?"

"It's confirmed! Phantomflake is still alive. Jack and I finally found the location where the Syphiruz Mafia was holding her captive. Jack is strategizing a plan on how he will get Phantomflake out of that facility! We will hear another piece of good news from him soon!"
