100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 304 Abigail's Anger

Day Thirty-Five…

~~*****~~

Aiden told little Ethan something he was not supposed to tell. But Nathan didn't have much expectation that he would be able to keep things a secret.

"Uncle, are you drunk?" Ethan asked Aiden after he recovered from the shock.

"Of course not! I'm sober. Don't you believe me?" Aiden lamented.

Ethan shook his head from left to right as if Aiden could see him. "My Grandpa wouldn't distaste my father regarding his marriage. And my father wouldn't agree to this kind of proposal. Where did you get this gossip, Uncle?"

"Believe me or not, it's from your father's mouth. He agreed! I'm just telling you this so that you can prepare yourself for having a new mother. Besides, I know you are matchmaking your father and Miss Abi, am I right?" Aiden took a deep breath since Ethan refused to believe his words.

"I will ask my Dad or my grandpa about this." Ethan wanted to confirm first before making a move. He already set a woman for his father. He chose Abigail. He wouldn't allow his grandpa to ruin his plan.

"Don't ask them or else, I will be shot dead by your father. Just tell Miss Abi about it! She has to know that she got a competition here. A wealthy young pretty lady from Country R!" Aiden sounded like there was an emergency.

"And one more thing! Your father has a dinner date tomorrow, meeting his potential fiancé! You and Miss Abi have to stop him. You know… I'm rooting for Miss Abi as well."

Aiden's last remarks brought a smile to Ethan's lips. It only meant Abigail already got the approval and acknowledgment of one of his father's best friends.

'Miss Abi already won the heart of Uncle Aiden. He got him on her sides.' Ethan felt grateful to his Uncle Aiden.

"Uncle, Thank you for informing me of this. I know what to do." Ethan reassured his Uncle Aiden. Aiden was the one who sounded anxious and against this arranged marriage. He was more worried than Ethan.

"Okay, Little Ethan. I will leave this to you. I have to go now." Aiden said goodbye to Ethan.

After talking to Aiden, Ethan searched for Abigail. He wondered what Abigail would do once she heard about this.

Without further ado, the young boy headed to Abigail's room. He knocked two times before Abigail acknowledged his presence, allowing him to enter her room. She had just finished taking a bath.

She was drying her hair using the blower in front of her mirror when Little Ethan stepped into the room.

"Oh, Little Ethan, come here." Abigail smiled softly after seeing Ethan's face. She put the blower down and approached Ethan. The two sat down on the edge of her bed.

"Miss Abi, where are you going? Is your right hand already fine?" Ethan asked her something first before bringing up the topic related to his father and the rich pretty lady from Country R. He didn't want to shock Abigail.

"Yes. I can move it without feeling any pain. I think my gunshot wound recovered so fast." Abigail raised her hand and moved it from left to right, showing Ethan that her hand was fine.

"Good to know, Miss Abi. It looks like you are going out today. Where are you going, Miss Abi?" Ethan asked her again before dropping the bomb. He didn't know how he would insert Nathan into their conversation.

"Yes. I'm going to meet my manager and my personal assistant. The Star Gala Night is coming. I can attend the Star Gala and it will become my comeback after disappearing from the limelight for a month. I have to prepare. I'm getting nervous to face the public and the entertainment industry after my scandal." Abigail was referring to her suicide scandal. But she omitted the word suicide because she didn't want Ethan to hear about it.

"I know you can do it, Miss Abi. Don't be nervous. Your fans will be happy to see you again. And you have a new fan who will support you all the way! It's ME!" Ethan declared to her, patting Abigail's back. Ethan knew how to comfort her. His words were enough to ease her anxiousness.

Abigail felt pressured because appearing in the public was not her forte. She was always working in the shadow, not in front of cameras. But she didn't want to ruin the reputation of the real Abigail. She was a good actress and she was bound to do great things for the entertainment industry. That was her concern. She was afraid that she would fail to meet the fans' expectations.

"Thank you, Ethan. Your words mean so much to me." Abigail grabbed Ethan and gave him a hug.

They were silent for a moment. Then Ethan found a chance to tell Abigail about the information he got from his Uncle Aiden.

"Miss Abi… honestly, I came here because I have something to tell you."

Abigail broke the hug and gazed down to look at Ethan's face. "Hmm, what is it?"

"It's about my dad…" Ethan mumbled, scratching his face.

Abigail just nodded her head, urging Ethan to continue.

"My grandfather is setting him up with a woman from Country R. Uncle Aiden said it was an arranged marriage. And my Dad… he agreed to meet the woman and have a dinner date tomorrow."

Abigail: "..."

Abigail was rendered speechless for several seconds. She just watched Ethan with her unblinking eyes as she absorbed and processed his words.

'WHAT?! Nathan accepted an arranged marriage with a stranger… WHY? No! Not now! I'm still far from completing my mission. Am I going to fail? Am I going to die and disappear?!'

Seeing the troubled look in her eyes, Ethan tried to console her. "Don't worry, Miss Abi. I will not allow my Dad to marry someone else… if it's not you! We need to stop him!"

Abigail snapped back to the present when she heard Ethan's voice.

"Ethan, are you sure? Your Dad agreed to this?" she asked him again to confirm it. She still couldn't believe it.

"Hmm. My Uncle Aiden said so. Dad is meeting the woman tomorrow during their dinner date."

A chilly glint flickered through Abigail's eyes. She clenched her fists and gnashed her teeth. She was furious… and probably jealous.

'Nathan Sparks, how dare you accept this marriage proposal!!!'
