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.Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

"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.

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.

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?'

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...'
