Chapter 29: I'll Take Responsibility for Her!

Day Two…

~~*****~~

As Nathan took the phone from Axel, Veronica ordered the guards outside to fetch Abigail and bring her to Nathan's chamber. It was a command from Nathan. She couldn't wait to see Abigail getting punished by Nathan.

(Oh well, little did she know, Nathan already gave Abigail a sweet punishment a while ago. And Veronica would never like to see it with her own eyes.)

Axel and Veronica stood on the side, silently watching Nathan as he talked to his son, Ethan, over the phone. They could even hear the sound of plates and glasses breaking from the other line.

"Give the phone to Ethan, Dad," Nathan asked his father. He continued rubbing his temples. Nathan could still feel his throbbing headache. His temperature was also hot because of a fever.

"Ethan, stop crying. Your father wants to talk to you," Old Man Xu informed his grandson who was still going wild around the kitchen.

Chef Min and his assistants didn't know what to do as Little Ethan put their precious kitchen into chaos. They just watched him create a big mess in their territory, feeling so helpless. Why do they feel like Ethan was getting revenge against them?

Meanwhile, Old Man Xu just allowed his grandson to break those things as they could afford to buy new ones. Finally, Ethan stopped throwing things when he heard that his father was on the phone.

"Dad! Where are you? Where did… you bring Miss Abi? D-Did you… kick her out of the mansion? Why Dad? Why? Please bring her back! We had a deal! Don't break your words. You are a man!" Little Ethan sniffled as he spoke to his father spontaneously.

'Who told him this?' Nathan pinched the space between his eyebrows.

"Ethan, why are you looking for her? Are you not worried about your father? Are you not going to ask me how I'm doing?" Nathan asked his son. He sounded like a jealous girlfriend.

"You don't know what she did to me…" he added, sighing deeply.

Little Ethan pouted his lips and stomped his feet. "Dad, you sound okay to me. I can talk to you now. You are a man with lots of bodyguards. You can protect yourself. I am more worried about Miss Abi!" Little Ethan blatantly said to his father.

Nathan: "..."

Chef Min: "..."

Assistant Cooks: "..."

Butler Li: "Pffft"

Old Man Xu tried his best to hold his laughter. He could imagine Nathan's facial expression right now after hearing Ethan's harsh words. Did he just mean that he cared more about Abigail than his own father?

"Pffft! I think my grandson fell so hard for that woman… his future wife!" Old Man Xu uttered. It was loud enough for Nathan to hear. He wanted to tease his grumpy and cold son as well.

Nathan could only roll his eyes at his father's remarks. It was better to ignore his old man and just focus on this little stubborn child of his.

"Ethan… the woman you are looking for almost caused my death today. She poisoned me with her cooking."

"Sigh! Dad! It's ALMOST. You are alive, okay? So don't make it a big deal. I'll take responsibility for her actions! If you want to punish her, just punish me instead!"

Nathan blinked in disbelief. His five-year-old son suddenly became a mature man, taking responsibility for a woman. But unknown to him, his son also got worried about him, however, Butler Li already talked to Ethan, explaining the whole situation to him.

"Hmmm, my grandson knows how to take care of a woman. I'm so proud of you, Little Ethan. How I wish your father would be as sensible as you. Tsk Tsk Tsk." Old Man Xu butted in once again, clicking his tongue.

"Dad, please don't interrupt us!" Nathan was losing his patience. His head hurt as hell and here comes the grandfather and grandson duo, making his condition worse by just talking with them.

If he just knew that he would deal with them after waking up, he would rather come back to sleep and continue his sweet dreams!

"Dad! I believe Miss Abi! She didn't mean to harm you." Ethan continued defending Abigail. He was speaking on her behalf, convincing his father.

"How sure are you?" Nathan questioned his son.

"Because I ate the same food she cooked for you. And I love it! She was the first person who made a delicious lunchbox for me. She even defended me against my classmates who tried to bully me!"

With his determination to help and save Abigail for not getting a punishment from his father, Ethan had no choice but to reveal to his Dad what happened in the school this afternoon. He knew that his Dad always had a soft spot when it came to him. He just wished that Nathan would let this slide and just forgive Abigail for his sake.

"What?! Someone is bullying you at school? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Nathan raised his voice, not because he was mad at Ethan, but because he hated the fact that someone tried to bully his only son.

"Who dares bully my grandson?! Tell me! Name them and I will make them suffer ten folds!" Old Man Xu's blood boiled, enraged by this discovery.

Little Ethan pursed his lips. He had to think of something to change the topic, diverting their attention away from him. His goal was to acquit Abigail from his father's punishment. He didn't want to talk about those bullies right now.

"Dad, don't change the topic! Where is Miss Abi? Is she with you right now, Dad? I want to talk to her!" Ethan demanded.

"Don't you dare bully her, or else, you will not know the name of those bullies in school!" the little young master added, threatening his father.

"I can investigate them myself," Nathan nonchalantly responded, ignoring Little Ethan's threat.

"Dad! I will disown you as my father! Don't you dare touch even a single strand of my future wife's hair!"

Nathan could only sigh in defeat. He didn't want to argue further with his stubborn child. He was still feeling sick.

"Fine. Let me think about it first. Stop destroying our house. Abigail and I will go home tomorrow. You should sleep now."

"No! I have to hear her voice first. Let me talk to her to say good night!" Little Ethan insisted. And just in time, Abigail entered the room along with the guards who were escorting her.

Day Two…

~~*****~~

Two pairs of glaring eyes welcomed Abigail as soon as she entered the room. She felt like Nathan and Veronica were both cursing at her. She immediately lowered her gaze, unable to meet Nathan's sharp blue eyes.

The intimate moment they shared in that very own room kept on replaying in her mind. It seemed that Nathan's presence would always remind her of those moments. She couldn't get them out of her mind. The memories were still fresh and it was something that was hard to forget.

'Damn! This is so unfair. Am I the only one suffering here? But wait… I wonder if he could remember or not. I hope not!' Abigail bit her lower lip, avoiding Nathan's gaze.

She just wished the devil would not remember anything, otherwise, she didn't know how she would face him without getting embarrassed about what happened.

"She is here," Nathan's icy voice was heard. Though she was not looking at him, she could feel the chill brought by Nathan's penetrating gaze.

Veronica clenched her teeth and balled up her free hand into a fist until her nails bit into flesh. She was agitated after hearing Nathan's remarks a while ago. [ Abigail and I will go home tomorrow. ]

'Is he not planning to punish her? He will still bring her back with him. What did Ethan tell his father?' Veronica tried her best to conceal her emotions. She maintained calm outside, but deep inside, she was fuming with rage and jealousy.

"You two… Leave us alone," Nathan ordered Axel and Veronica.

"We can't. What if she will do something again to hurt you?" Veronica didn't hesitate to express her protest.

Nathan shot her a cold sharp glare. "I said… Leave. Us. Alone. Get out!" He was in a bad mood and felt more irritable because of the incident that transpired today.

Axel pursed his lips and motioned Veronica to obey his master. They couldn't afford to anger him further. They could only obey his command and disappear from his sight.

Reluctant to leave, Veronica walked out of the room with heavy footsteps. She wanted to stay and listen to their conversation but Nathan already sent them away as if they were just a nuisance between the two.

"Doc Veronica. Don't worry about Master. He could handle this. Even though he is sick, he is stronger than you think." Axel tried to comfort Veronica, however, she became more upset.

When Axel and Veronica left, there was a long and deafening silence, engulfing the room. No one between Nathan and Abigail uttered some words.

"Dad! What took you so long? Please give the phone to Miss Abi!" Little Ethan's small voice pierced the golden silence in that chamber, snapping the two people out of their deep thoughts.

Nathan squinted his eyes before handing the phone over to Abigail. She reflexively took the phone, putting it on her right ear.

"Miss Abi, don't be afraid of my Dad. I got your back." Little Ethan reassured her.

Abigail blinked several times, wondering how Ethan found out that she was put in a dire situation and was about to face the devil's wrath.

'Don't tell me Butler Li has something to do with this?' Abigail didn't know if Butler Li was acting like a fairy godmother who would save her in times of trouble. 'I owed him big time.'

"I understand. Go to bed now, Little Ethan. See you tomorrow." Abigail mumbled with an awkward smile on her face. Nathan was staring at her intently, making her feel uneasy.

"Goodnight, Miss Abi. See you tomorrow. Just tell me if Dad bullies you, okay?"

'Yes! He bullied me… he violated me, taking advantage of my temporary body. And I think I got an emotional trauma.' Abigail complained inwardly. But then, her alter ego interjected her line of thoughts and said,'But you enjoyed it!'

Abigail cringed and she felt the chill run down her spine. She shook her head, trying to keep the memories, and pushed those unwanted thoughts to the back of her mind.

"Goodnight, Ethan," she absentmindedly mumbled before ending the call.

She subconsciously glanced in Nathan's direction and their eyes met for a long moment before she looked away.

'Why the hell is he looking at me like that? Don't tell me he remembered everything?' Abigail tried her best to maintain her cool as if everything was normal. But her heart started to run wild once more.

The silence of the surroundings brought more tension between them. Just when she thought Nathan would confront her, he stood up, tracing his steps towards the bathroom.

Bam!

The closing sound of the bathroom door was like her cue to finally relax and steady her breathing.

She was staring at the closed door when suddenly a light bulb went off in her head. 'Gosh! I almost forgot! This is my last chance to retrieve those things!'

With alertness, Abigail scanned the room with her hawk-like eyes, searching for two important items– Butler Li's cellphone and her fucking Bra!

'Where are they?' She dashed towards the bed, lifting the quilt. She turned it upside down but she saw nothing.

"Damn! I have to find them." She murmured. She moved around the room, searching every corner. She wished Nathan would take his time in the bathroom.

Then she snapped her fingers as she recalled that she ducked under the bed. Without wasting any more time, Abigail dropped on the floor, checking something under the bed.

And with great timing, Nathan came out of the bathroom, witnessing Abigail in that awkward position. Her butt was facing Nathan as she kept checking the floor. She even used the flashlight of Axel's phone while searching for those items under Nathan's bed.

"What are you doing?"

"Aww!" Abigail bumped her head against the bottom side rail of the bed when she hastily raised her head after hearing Nathan's voice. His voice scared the hell out of her. She felt like a thief getting caught in the act by Nathan at that moment.

She rubbed her head and turned around only to see Nathan whose expression was indescribable. He was giving her a strange look. She couldn't tell if he was mad or he was just fighting the urge to laugh.

Damn! She couldn't figure him out. What was running on his mind right now?
