Chapter 345 My Girl... Friend

Day Forty-One...

~~*****~~

While waiting for the performance of the children, some people in the auditorium preferred to watch and observe Abigail and Nathan. They couldn't see any sweet interaction between the two. They just sat silently next to each other.

Abigail could still feel the gazes directed at them. She already felt annoyed by the attention she was getting from other people. 'So many eyes watching me! I'm not used to this. I am more comfortable hiding in the shadows.'

Abigail decided to go to the bathroom and leave her seat for a moment. As long as she was with Nathan, people would continue watching her. Abigail stood up and was about to leave when Nathan grabbed her arm, stopping her.

Abigail gazed down at him with a questioning gaze. "What? I'm going to the bathroom."

"Stay. Ethan's performance is about to start. Do you want to miss it?" Nathan tightened his grip on her arm, not allowing her to leave. He could sense that Abigail was uncomfortable due to the people around them.

'Is she worried that people might recognize her? Or she just didn't want people to see her with me?' Nathan mused to himself.

At the mention of Ethan's name, Abigail quickly returned to her seat. Of course, she didn't want to miss Ethan's performance! She was looking forward to seeing him perform. She was certain that he would look so adorable while dancing.

Nathan's lips twitched, fighting a smile. He knew it. As long as he would use Ethan's name, Abigail would become obedient.

"Let go of my hand now," Abigail whispered to Nathan.

But Nathan pretended not to hear her words as he continued holding her hand. He focused his gaze on the stage where the first batch of children was performing. The little girls were singing a song.ReAd latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Abigail could only sigh helplessly. She couldn't understand why Nathan was acting strange today. He was the one clinging to her. He even placed their entangled hands on the armrest of the chair for everyone to see.

"You are fantastic, Ethan! I love it!" Abigail cupped his face, caressing his cheeks. "I'm so proud of you, Ethan."

"That's my line," Nathan butted in. He was Ethan's father so he should be the one praising him. But he didn't mind Abigail's reaction. He just said it to join the conversation.

Meanwhile, Ethan giggled giddily. His mood was as bright as the morning sunshine. He couldn't contain his joy. He was full of energy as he moved around his father and Miss Abi.

'Congratulation, Ethan. I didn't expect that you would be a good dancer." Abigail gently patted Ethan's head. She continued praising him.

"Of course, he is my son. He is talented," Nathan made another remark.

Abigail could only roll her eyes. She was not talking to him but he kept on butting in.

A few seconds later, the Principal and Ethan's homeroom teacher greeted them. Nathan was a very important stakeholder in this school. They wanted to show him some courtesy.

"Mr. Sparks, we are glad to see you here, despite your busy schedule." The principal put on a broad smile as he extended his hand, asking for a handshake.

Nathan accepted his hand, shaking it. "My son is my priority," he simply replied.

"Who is this lovely woman, Mr. Sparks?" the homeroom teacher was not able to hold her curiosity. She grabbed this opportunity to ask Nathan while the principal was around. Both of them were dying to know the identity of this woman.

Abigail already made up her mind. She would not introduce her real name today. However, before she could say a word, Nathan spoke on her behalf.

"She is Abigail Scarlett, my Girl... Friend." Nathan declared to them, making Abigail speechless.

Ethan let out a soft giggle. He was so happy to hear his father calling Abigail his girlfriend.
