Chapter 235 Busted!

Day Twenty Five...

~~*****~~

Sensing that Nathan was still in his grumpy mood, Abigail decided to flee by saying, "I'm gonna check on Cherry. See you later, guys."

Without waiting for their response, Abigail went upstairs to find Cherry. She might be sleeping in one of the rooms.

The three men could only watch her back. When Abigail disappeared from their sight, Nathan and Stephen shifted their gaze back to Aiden, giving him a questioning look.

The two men were about to interrogate Aiden since Aiden and Abigail were both acting suspiciously. Was there something going on between the two?

"Hey! Hey! Don't give me such a look. I'm not doing something bad. Besides, Nathan gave me a task to befriend Abigail before, remember?" Aiden used it as an alibi.

"Now you can forget about that task. You are not good at spying," Nathan promptly said in his cold tone. He already changed his mind. He didn't want Aiden to get closer to Abigail.

Aiden just blinked his eyes in confusion. It was very seldom for Nathan to take his orders back. What made him change his mind?

"By the way, what happened? You really surprised us both after seeing Abigail here. Why was she holding your chest? Did the two of you just kiss?" Stephen's question made the atmosphere become more chilly. Nathan was now looking daggers at Aiden.

'I wanna zip this guy's mouth!' Aiden lamented to himself.

"Of course not! She just pinched my chest! That's all."

Stephen gasped when he heard that while Nathan squinted his eyes on Aiden.

"Hey! She just told me that I needed to work out! No other meaning behind it!" Aiden insisted.

"So who is this Cherry? Why did you bring her to your private villa? We thought this is your sacred place. No woman is allowed to be here. Now, Cherry and Abigail have already set foot in here." Stephen continued to interrogate Aiden.

Aiden could only scratch the back of his head. "Those two do not act like a woman. They are more masculine than me! So they are exempt from the rule!"

Stephen: "..."

Nathan just remained quiet.

"Phantomflake! She gave me the right to protect you, Black Rose!" Abigail finally said it.

Cherry froze the moment she heard that. She turned to look at her, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"You know Phantomflake... and me, Black Rose?" Cherry asked her with a flabbergasted look in her eyes.

"Yes, I know Phantomflake and you. I am a member of Phantom's Assassin Guild." Abigail declared to Cherry.

Bam!

Just when those words escaped from Abigail's mouth, the door was pushed open and Nathan emerged from it.

Abigail felt like her heart jumped out of her chest and her entire body was splashed with cold water the moment she met Nathan's bloodshot eyes.

'Did he hear everything?' Abigail felt so anxious and her heart began to race rapidly inside her chest.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

With heavy footsteps, Nathan closed their gaps and grabbed Abigail's wrist. With eyes burning with fury, Nathan dragged Abigail out of the room, leaving Cherry behind.

"Nate..." Abigail tried to call him. She wanted to ask something but her words died down on her mouth as she noticed Nathan's deathly glare.

'Damn it! He heard everything! He definitely heard everything!' Abigail was panicking deep inside. She didn't know what she should do. What was Nathan going to do now? Was he going to kill her?

Nathan's grip on her wrist tightened further. He continued dragging her forcefully until they descended the stairs. Fortunately, Abigail was able to catch up with him so that she would not fall or stumble.

Aiden and Stephen were surprised and confused when they saw the angry Nathan dragging Abigail.

Stephen: "Nate?"

Aiden: "Abi?"

But Nathan and Abigail just walked past them. Nathan pulled her at the garage. Upon reaching his car, he opened the door and yelled through his gritted teeth, "GET INSIDE!" Abigail could only obey Nathan.

Stephen and Aiden were following them behind. But before they could catch up with them, Nathan started the car and sped off, leaving Aiden's garage.

"What is happening?" Aiden asked Stephen.

"Don't ask! Let's just follow them. Nathan's emotions are unstable. I'm afraid that he might hurt Abigail!" Stephen motioned Aiden to give him his car key.
