100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 204 Apologize To Her

Day Twenty Two…

~~*****~~

Nathan left the EDSJ Five Star Hotel feeling problematic. Mr. Hiroshi refused to talk to him unless he would apologize and reconcile with Abigail. Furthermore, Nathan somehow felt guilty for yelling at her.

But he was not used to apologizing and admitting his mistake. His pride wouldn't let him do that. He was racking his brain so hard about how he would approach Abigail without feeling awkward and embarrassed.

'I should have listened to her. I don't know why I easily get agitated and angry by her, losing my temper. I should have controlled myself.' Nathan scolded himself inwardly.

Nathan messaged Chantha, asking her about Abigail.

Nathan– [ Have you arrived home? How is Abigail? Her mood? ]

Nathan sent his message to Chantha, his eyes fixed on his phone screen.

Axel, who was the one driving the car, had sensed that Nathan was troubled by something. He kept on moving in his seat, turning and looking around while checking his phone.

Nathan immediately opened the message from Chantha.

Chantha– [ Master! Big Boss! We are home now! Abigail looks very upset. What did you do? ]

Nathan sighed deeply, rubbing the space between his eyebrows. He became more anxious and stressed just thinking about Abigail getting upset with him.

"Can you drive faster?" Nathan asked Axel. He could no longer wait to come home.

Axel sped up after hearing Nathan's request. He wanted to ask him what was wrong but after seeing Nathan's cold expression, he changed his mind. It was best not to ask him.

While on the transit, Nathan continued thinking about what he should do to pacify Abigail. He was asking himself if he could humble himself and apologize to Abigail.

He frowned deeply as he couldn't imagine himself apologizing to Abigail. His pride was stopping him to do that.

'Should I ask Ethan's help? Mr. Hiroshi will only talk to me and propose a business deal if and only if Abigail will be with me as we negotiate.' Nathan leaned his back on the backrest of his seat and closed his eyes.

'Should I grab this opportunity to get closer to the Leader of Sawada Clan or just forget about it?' Nathan was contemplating. He took another deep breath. He couldn't decide what he should do.

After twenty minutes, they finally arrived at the mansion. He saw Chantha in the living room, eating some snacks while watching tv. She didn't look like a lady bodyguard, instead, she looked like a guest who felt at home.

? Axel and Chantha met each other's gazes when the two men entered. Axel was not used to seeing one of the branch leaders staying at their Supreme Leader's mansion.

The two often clashed with each other, leading to hot arguments. Chantha always teased Axel to the point he could easily get annoyed by her.

"Big Boss!" Chantha shifted her gaze from Axel to Nathan. She glared at Axel but the moment she looked at Nathan she was already smiling with her beautiful eyes.

Axel became more annoyed when Chantha pretended not to see him and only greeted Nathan. She ignored his presence completely as she stood up, approaching Nathan.

Axel already knew what Chantha was thinking so even before she could get near Nathan, Axel already blocked her way. He stood in front of her, not allowing Chantha to approach Nathan.

Chantha pushed him lightly. Then she turned to the left but Axel also stepped in the same direction, stopping her. Axel was like a wall, blocking Chantha from passing through.

"Hey, stay out of my way," she complained to him.

"No. Don't bother our Boss. He is already in trouble." Axel replied, not leaving his spot.

Chantha could only pout her lips while her eyes shot daggers at Axel. This guy always wanted to pick a fight with her.

On the other hand, Nathan didn't mind the two as he proceeded upstairs. He bumped into Butler Li.

"Where is Abigail?" Nathan asked Butler Li. His expression was indescribable.

"She is with young master, Ethan. In his playroom. Why Master?" Butler Li asked him back innocently.

"Nothing." Nathan walked past him, going to Ethan's room.

When Nathan reached the room, he stopped for a moment, mustering up his courage to face Abigail. He felt guilty embarrassed and guilty for speaking harsh words towards Abigail.

He blamed her right away without knowing it was Abigail who helped him with regards to lobbying with Mr. Hiroshi. He had to admit that he became so rude.

Fifteen seconds later, Nathan finally turned the doorknob and opened the door. Ethan and Abigail were both in the playing room so Nathan slowly traced his steps, wishing that Abigail was already back to her good mood.

He knocked twice first to catch the attention of the two people on the other side of the door. The playroom was attached to Ethan's room.

"Who is that?" It was Ethan who spoke from the other side.

"It's me. Your Dad." Nathan responded.

There was a moment of silence after Nathan spoke up. He didn't know what Ethan and Abigail were thinking.

"May I come?" Nathan spoke again, asking their permission.

After a while, the room slid open by Powy. Ethan and Abigail were playing so it was Powy who opened the door for Nathan.

Abigail focused her attention on the game, not glancing at Nathan. She didn't want to see him nor talk to him right now. She would just ignore his presence.

Meanwhile, Ethan tossed a sharp look at his father before averting his gaze back to his computer screen. Ethan gave his father cold treatment as well. He was upset because Nathan hurt Abigail's feelings.

Nathan felt so awkward just watching the two people who were treating him as an invisible man. He could tell that Ethan already heard what happened between Abigail and him.

'Why did she have to inform Ethan, involving my son in our conflict?' Nathan crumpled his face at that thought.

"Ethan," Nathan called his son with his authoritative voice.

"Yes, Dad?" Ethan responded not looking at him. Though he was upset with his Dad, he didn't want to disrespect his father by not responding since Nathan already called his name.

"Can I talk to you?" Nathan asked. He was supposed to say Abigail's name, but because of anxiousness, he ended up referring to Ethan, instead of Abigail.

Ethan glanced at Abigail and excused himself, "Miss Abi, can you excuse us first? I will just talk to my Dad." Ethan stopped playing.

Abigail gave him a faint smile and nodded her head. "I will just go outside…"

Abigail left the room and didn't even spare a glance at Nathan. Nathan could only watch Abigail's back. He had the urge to follow her but Little Ethan already stepped in front of him, his hands holding the sides of his waist.

"Dad! Why did you do that to Miss Abi?! How can you act so rude towards her?! Don't you know that Miss Abi tried her best to help you with your goal?" Little Ethan started nagging at his father.

"Dad! You hurt her feelings! How could you jump to a conclusion without even hearing her side?! You have to apologize to her!" Ethan insisted on.

Nathan could only sigh deeply. "I know. I'm at fault."

"Then talk to her, not to me! Dad, it's common sense. If you made a mistake you should acknowledge it and apologize to someone. Now, go and apologize to Miss Abi. Don't stop until she accepts your apology." Ethan moved to his back and pushed Nathan going to the door.

Nathan could only allow Ethan to push him towards the door. But Abigail was no longer there. She already went to her room.

Nathan and Ethan were now on the way to her room. The moment they arrived at her front door, Ethan left his father. He didn't want to influence Abigail's decision because of his presence. Who knows if Abigail will forgive Nathan right away because of Ethan?

Ethan was the one who suggested to Abigail that Nathan should make an effort first before she could forgive him.

"Ethan, where are you going?" Nathan asked when his son turned around, going downstairs.

"Dad, don't mind me. Just apologize to Miss Abi!" Without waiting for Nathan's reply, Ethan left in a hurry.

Nathan frowned deeply as he felt uncomfortable standing there alone. He couldn't face her without feeling embarrassed.

*Knock! Knock!*

Nathan had no choice but to face Abigail and apologize. Both Mr. Hiroshi and Little Ethan were forcing him to do it.

After a while, Abigail opened the door for him. She had a serious expression on her face. Nathan just stood there silently, at a loss for words. He didn't know what to say.

"What do you want?" Abigail asked him with her cold voice. She didn't hide the displeasure on her face.

"I-I… cough!" Nathan stuttered so he cleared his throat. He was having difficulty saying those two words.

Abigail rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"I'm sorry…" Nathan said in a very low voice.

Abigail was taken aback for a moment, blinking her eyes in disbelief as she looked at him. Meanwhile, Nathan just gazed down, avoiding her eyes. He felt embarrassed.

Abigail would never accept his apology that easily. She smiled inwardly as she already thought of a way to teach him a lesson.

'Nathan Sparks. You should exert effort so that I can forgive you,' Abigail thought to herself.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you." Abigail pretended that she didn't hear Nathan's apology.

Nathan pursed his lips. He felt like Abigail was making things difficult for him. She just wanted him to repeat his words!
