100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 82 "My Son Became Her Spokesperson?"

Day Six…

~~*****~~

Nathan tossed a look at Abigail, assessing her expression. He wanted to know if Ethan's statement really came from her. But Abigail lowered her gaze, avoiding his eyes. She felt so embarrassed to look at him.

She never said that she missed him; however, Ethan's words were true when he said that she was waiting for Nathan. And for the whole day of his absence, Abigail kept thinking about Nathan. Would it be considered as missing someone?

"Mr. Zhao, I'm hanging up. Let's talk again next time…" Abigail chose to ignore Nathan's intent gaze. She wanted to go inside the house and hide in her room.

"Ok. Miss Abi. But next time, just call me by my first name. Mr. Zhao is too formal." Stephen giggled. He sounded like he was flirting with her so Nathan stepped forward, snatching the phone from Abigail's hand.

Abigail and Ethan watched Nathan in confusion when he suddenly pressed the end call button.

"This is my son's phone," Nathan declared to justify his strange action.

Abigail and Ethan exchanged glances with one another. So what if it's Ethan's phone? She didn't steal the phone. Ethan gave her permission to use it. Why did Nathan have to react like that?

After a few seconds, Ethan's lips curled up into a satisfied smile. 'Wait? Why do I sense some jealousy? Is my Dad jealous of my Uncle Stephen?'

"Let's get inside," Nathan coldly said, motioning Ethan to follow him.

Ethan and Abigail obediently followed him as the three of them entered the house.

"Dad, have you eaten dinner? Miss Abi cooked something for us."

Nathan halted on his steps. There was a crease on his forehead as he glanced at Abigail. She was just silent. It was Ethan who was talking to Nathan.

'Does my son become her spokesperson? Why can't she speak to me by herself?' Nathan felt annoyed by this thought. He was confused by Abigail's action.

She said she liked him but he couldn't feel her sincerity when she admitted it. He could sense that Abigail seemed distant to him as well.

There was a time he would catch her looking at him with a sharp gaze as if she was shooting daggers at him. She didn't look like someone who had feelings for him but someone who wanted to kill him.

"Dad?" Ethan's voice pulled him back to the present.

"I'm full. Your Uncle Stephen and I already had our dinner," Nathan lied.

Abigail crumpled her face. If she had known this, she shouldn't have prepared dinner for Nathan. Her effort just went in vain.

"Good night, Ethan. I'll go ahead now. See you tomorrow." Abigail had decided to leave the father and son duo. She felt disheartened because she couldn't see any improvement in her relationship with Nathan.

Six days had passed but Nathan was still cold and indifferent toward her. This mission was truly a great challenge for her. She wondered if one hundred days were enough to make him fall for her or not.

"Dad, you made her upset. Tsk Tsk Tsk. Can't you pretend to be hungry and have a taste of her cooking? Miss Abi put a lot of effort into cooking meals for us. She even burned her hand while cooking." Ethan was trying to make his father feel some guilt.

? Nathan just stayed silent. His son was doing it again. He was playing cupid, shipping the two of them. It was obvious that his son had another motive for letting Abigail stay with them.

"Dad, if you continue taking her for granted, Uncle Stephen will probably win her over! Hmmph. Just a while ago, Uncle Stephen volunteered to be Miss Abi's date since you refused to date her." Ethan stomped his feet and folded his arms over his chest while pouting.

"If you will not say yes… then I have no choice but to let Miss Abi go with Uncle Stephen."

After saying that, Little Ethan turned around, walking toward the stairs. He headed to his room, leaving his father in the living room.

Nathan could only watch his son's back, trying to absorb his words. His expression became complicated.

After a while, he received a phone call from his subordinates. It was Spider.

"Master, Mr. Wu and his friend were able to go home safely. And we found out that the members of the Red Dragon Mafia were the ones following them a while ago." Spider reported to Nathan. However, Nathan's mind seemed preoccupied with something.

Nathan didn't pay much attention to Spider's words.

"Master, what is your order? What should we do next?" Spider asked him as Nathan was very quiet on the other line.

"Let's talk about this tomorrow. It's already late. I'm visiting the headquarters so let's meet there." Nathan simply said before hanging up the phone.

After the call, Nathan just found himself tracing his steps toward the kitchen. Butler Li had just finished roaming around the house when he bumped into his master.

"Master, you are back. Why are you here?" Butler Li didn't expect to see Nathan in the kitchen.

"I'm going to eat dinner. I heard Abigail cooked something for me. Where is it?"

Butler Li's eyes widened in surprise but his shocked expression was replaced by a cheerful one when he realized something.

"Oh right! Miss Abi kept the food in the refrigerator. Wait, Master. I will just heat it up for you."

Butler Li immediately took the food and put it in the oven. Nathan waited for fifteen minutes. Butler Li served the food on the table and said, "Master, Don't worry. Miss Abi didn't add any peanuts here."

Nathan just lifted his eyebrow making Butler Li shut his mouth. He motioned him to just leave since his presence was no longer needed.

Butler Li left with a broad smile on his face. 'Miss Abi will be happy once she learns that Master Nathan ate her food.'

Butler Li just reached the kitchen door when Nathan spoke up. "Uncle Li, you didn't see me here. Understood?"

Butler Li bit his lower lip before nodding his head. This only meant that Butler Li was not allowed to tell Abigail that Nathan came to eat the dinner she prepared for him.

"Yes, Master… I understand."
