100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 346 I Won't Let Her

Day Forty-One...

~~*****~~

'Girlfriend?'

Abigail's mind malfunctioned for a moment when she heard Nathan's statement. She didn't expect Nathan to introduce her as his girlfriend. Those people who overheard them gasped in surprise. Nathan Sparks finally confirmed that he had a girlfriend.

Nathan even put his hand on the back of her waist, pulling Abigail closer to him. Ethan could only smile broadly seeing this scene. He wanted to boast, telling the whole school that his Dad got a new girlfriend... Smart. Beautiful. Fierce.

In Ethan's eyes, Abigail was the most suited woman for his dad. She could deal with his temper. She wasn't intimidated by his father. Furthermore, she wasn't afraid of him.

"Yes. That's true. This is Miss Abi, my future mother!" Ethan supported his father's claim.

The principal and his homeroom teacher could only smile. "Congratulations, Mr. Sparks."

"Wait. Her name rings a bell to me. I just can't remember where I heard that name." the homeroom teacher held her head, trying to recall Abigail.

"Is she your fiancée in the news?" The Principal followed up.

Abigail and Nathan exchanged glances with one another. She gave him a warning look while lifting her eyebrow. Ethan also tugged Nathan's sleeve, urging him to clear the issue before the false rumor would escalate further.

"No... She is not my fiancée yet. Let me propose to her first." Nathan replied jokingly. He was not serious when he said that but he was staring at Abigail meaningfully.

Abigail, on the other hand, crumpled her face. She didn't know what kind of play Nathan was doing. Was he just teasing her?

'I have the urge to punch this guy.' Abigail balled her hands into fists but she kept smiling at them. She had to play along with him. She didn't want to ruin this moment by arguing with Nathan. As much as possible, this day would be a truce between them for Ethan's sake.

"Ahem. Ahem. This is not the right time to discuss such a thing. Let's enjoy the event." Abigail decided to change the topic.

The principal and the homeroom teacher could only smile sheepishly. They didn't ask further. Nathan might think of them as nosy people so they stopped interviewing the two. After talking to Ethan's guardian, the two left and moved to the other side, welcoming the other VIP stakeholders.

Ethan motioned his father to lean over as he had something to tell him. Nathan did what his son asked for. He bent over, bringing his ear closer to his son.

"I love you, Dad!" Ethan whispered to him. The little boy felt grateful to his dad because he claimed that Abigail was his woman. He never mentioned Helena's name.

On the other hand, Nathan was touched when Ethan said those words to him. He seldom expressed how much he loved his father. But today, he didn't hesitate to say "I love you, Dad!"

"Dad, you are the best!" Ethan added, before giving him a peck on his cheek. Nathan was dumbfounded for a moment. His son was so sweet toward him today.

"Miss Abi, Dad... today is the happiest day of my life. Thank you for making my day extra special!" Ethan expressed her gratitude toward Abigail and Nathan.

Abigail just bobbed her head and ruffled his hair. She pulled Ethan to sit down next to her. The three of them settled down on their respective chairs as they continued watching the next performances.

The opening program was finished after an hour. The children and parents were guided to the field. Several games were waiting for them. Group game, couple game, and family game.

"Miss Abi, Dad! Let's join the fun. Let's register for different games!" Ethan was pulling their hands, walking toward the booth registration. There were lots of fun games for parents and their children. It would be a team effort.

"Sure, Ethan. I will play for you," Abigail responded, stroking his hair.

"Before that, we have to change our clothes. I prepare a matching uniform for all of us." Ethan said cheerfully, his eyes glimmering with excitement.

The three of them changed their shirts. All of them wore Blue Shirts with a print [ Team Sparks ]. Ethan connived with Butler Li in making those shirts. Abigail, Nathan, and Ethan caught more attention because of their matching shirts. Some envied them for being such a beautiful family of three.

But Abigail was surprised about one thing. Nathan never complained about the matching shirts. He didn't even find it corny. It did not take long before the three of them started registering for three different games. They let Ethan choose the games he wanted them to play.

As Ethan was writing their entry, Abigail simply approached Nathan to confront him. His actions had been confusing her today. He was acting differently from the usual Nathan that she knew. She was worried that Nathan was scheming something.

"Why did you do it?" Abigail asked him in a low voice. She made sure that Ethan wouldn't hear their conversation. Fortunately, Ethan was busy with the registration.

"What do you mean?" Nathan just feigned ignorance.

"Why did you tell them that I'm your girlfriend? Perhaps, you've fallen for me already?" Abigail confronted him. She smiled at him teasingly.

Nathan stared at her with amusement. "You are still far from getting my affection, my dear. Remember, we are just pretending. Don't give a different meaning to my simple action. It doesn't mean anything." Nathan shrugged his shoulders and waved his hands nonchalantly.

Abigail's face contorted. She was a little bit insulted by Nathan's response. "You just keep on denying your feelings," she murmured but Nathan still heard her.

"Why are you sulking? Don't tell me... you are dreaming of becoming my wife?" Nathan said with a provocative smile on his gorgeous face.

"In your dreams! I'm not aiming to be your wife. All I need is to make you fall in love with me. After that, I'm gonna ditch you!" Abigail blurted out, sticking her tongue out at him. Before Nathan could respond, Abigail fled, joining Ethan.

"Ditch me?! Is she kidding me?" Nathan watched her back with disbelief. "I'm Nathan Sparks. Where did she get the idea that she can abandon me at any time? I won't let her."
