100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 208 The Devil Is Very Obedient

Day Twenty Three…

~~*****~~

Little Ethan could only smile watching the cute interaction between his Dad and Miss Abi. Though they looked like they were fighting and arguing, no one could deny that the two have chemistry.

Abigail just remained on her chair as she watched Nathan moving across the kitchen. She didn't expect that Ethan's strategy would work.

Before, she was the one who was cooking food for Nathan. But now, it was Nathan serving her as if she was the master of this house.

'Everything is possible when it comes to Ethan. He is like a lucky charm.' Abigail thought to herself as she glanced at Ethan. The young boy had been rooting for her and he was backing her up.

'Sigh. I am becoming more guilty for killing his mom…' Abigail dropped her shoulders while sighing deeply.

Abigail was getting more attached to Little Ethan. Her fondness for him was the factor that triggered her conscience.

'I shouldn't have killed his mother. This wouldn't happen if I didn't accept that mission. Now, I started to regret it.' Abigail became gloomy and feeling down.

When she looked at the father and son duo, she could understand why Nathan hated her so much. 'Nathan has a deep resentment as Phantomflake. He didn't want to give me a peaceful death just to avenge his Monica. Should I apologize to him once I wake up in my real body?'

Abigail immediately shook her head, disregarding that idea. She was supposed to avenge the death of her fellow assassins. Why was she thinking of apologizing to Nathan?

Furthermore, she wasn't certain if she could make Nathan fall for her within one hundred days. If her mission failed, then she would die.

The only person she was worried about right now was Cherry. She would be alone once again. 'I have to make sure that Cherry will live a new life. She has to forget what happened in the past and move on.'

Abigail was worried that Cherry would try to get her revenge against the Syphiruz Mafia. Her life would be put in danger if she would go against Nathan.

'Sigh, what should I do? Should I warn her about Nathan's identity or just hide his true identity from her to keep Cherry safe?' Abigail was so lost in her thoughts when Nathan and Ethan joined her at the dining table.

Nathan served the food to Abigail. He was supposed to bring it upstairs as breakfast in bed but he recooked several times until Abigail woke up. He missed the chance to surprise her with breakfast in bed.

"Come, let's eat," Nathan mumbled, snapping Abigail back to the present.

Abigail just nodded her head but she maintained her cold front as if she was not satisfied at all with this gesture.

"What do you plan to do today?" Nathan opened up a conversation with Abigail. This kind of conversation was also included in the To-Do List.

[ To-Do List: Engage in a light conversation with her. ]

"Nothing. You grounded me for two weeks, remember?" Abigail scowled at Nathan.

Nathan awkwardly smiled, turning at his son, Ethan. 'Help me, son!'

Little Ethan held his laughter. He could see how helpless his father was. He didn't know what to do or how he would converse with Abigail naturally.

'Tsk, tsk, tsk… my Dad lacks social skills.' Ethan thought to himself while shaking his head helplessly.

"Dad, I think you should allow Miss Abi to go out and leave the house. Let her do what she needs to do. What do you think?" Ethan made a suggestion in favor of Abigail.

Nathan didn't object to the idea. He bobbed his head and said, "Yes. I take back my words now. You are no longer grounded. But on one condition… you should always bring your bodyguard with you." Nathan was referring to Chantha.

Abigail's face brightened up when she heard that. Though she didn't need permission to leave the mansion, she was glad that Nathan took back his words. She didn't need to sneak out if ever she wanted to leave the house.

'Hmm. Thinking about it, Nathan is good at tracing my location. Who knows what he will do next once I disappear again without telling him.'

"Thank you, Mr. Sparks. I would really appreciate that. I promised to visit my assistant and manager so I have to leave the mansion."

Nathan was not strict towards Abigail now. He had to maintain this attitude for a week. He was doing this as per the advice of Ethan which he also wrote in the To-Do List.

[ To-Do List: Be considerate of her… most especially towards her feelings.]

Ethan already gave his father three points for following his advice. At least, he could see that his father was serious in apologizing to Abigail. It's just that he didn't know how to express himself very well. This was new to Nathan. Before Monica was always the exemption to him.

"I have to go to work today. If there is anything you need, just don't hesitate to tell me," Nathan said, looking at Abigail.

But Abigail glared at him and replied, "Hmph! As if you will listen to my words. You didn't let me explain yesterday. You just yelled at me, telling me how useless I was to you." Abigail didn't hide her frustrations. Because of that, Ethan gave her two thumbs up.

"It's better! Dad will get pressure as Miss Abi will keep reminding him of his mistakes," he murmured to himself while putting some food on his plate.

On the other hand, Nathan didn't make any comments since he couldn't refute her words. He was at fault here and he admitted it. What he could do was scoop some food and put them on Abigail's plate.

Abigail could only watch Nathan in amusement. Then she heard him whispering. "That was the reason why I am doing this… as my peace offering. Can't she just accept my apology?"

"What did you say, Mr. Sparks? Can't you make your voice louder when talking to us?" Abigail made another side comment, targeting Nathan.

Surprisingly, Nathan was trying to be more patient with her. "Nothing. I said you have to eat a lot. You look thin."

Abigail just rolled her eyes skywards. "I'm an actress… so I have to maintain my slim figure." Abigail retorted.

"Yes. I know. But have a healthy diet for your own sake. Don't starve yourself." Nathan nonchalantly said, putting more fried rice on Abigail's plate.

Abigail: "..."

Abigail was rendered speechless. Nathan sounded like a concerned boyfriend who wanted to take care of his girlfriend by feeding her more.

Then out of the blue, Ethan's little voice was heard, throwing a sudden question at his father.

"Dad, which do you prefer… Miss Abi to gain a little more weight or her current figure?"

Nathan and Abigail immediately turned in Ethan's direction. Both of them were caught off guard by his question.

After a while, Nathan averted his gaze back to Abigail. He somehow scanned Abigail's body in order to answer Ethan's question.

"Her current figure is not bad… But I think she needs to gain a little weight for her to become huggable."

Abigail: "..."

Ethan let out a soft chuckle and made another comment. "How do you know that her current figure is not huggable? Did you hug Miss Abi, Dad?"

Nathan: "..."

Ethan's follow-up question made Nathan speechless. That was too blunt. How could he admit that he already hugged her or did something more than just a hug in front of his son?

Abigail also looked away as she was too embarrassed to hear such a frank and straightforward question from a little boy. Furthermore, this little boy was Nathan's son!

"I just estimated it…" Nathan lied.

Ethan just bobbed his head while giving them a teasing smile.

Nathan: 'Why do I feel like my son didn't believe my words?'

Abigail: 'I feel conscious whenever Little Ethan will smile like that…'

*****

Meanwhile, at Red Dragon Mafia Branch Headquarters here in Country M, the Dragon Lord was still disappointed because of what happened yesterday.

Mr. Hiroshi canceled their meeting and he didn't even get the chance to see him personally. The Dragon Lord felt like the leader of the Sawada Clan ditched him for a reason. But for what reason?

"They said that the old man was desperate to find a certain someone. So why did he suddenly cancel our negotiation? Did he find that person? Did he change his mind to seek my help?" The Dragon Lord shared his concerns with Spade.

Spade went there to report something important but the Dragon Lord looked gloomy as soon as he entered his office.

"I can't answer you, Boss. If only I can hack a human's mind, I might give you the right answer." Spade cracked some jokes to lighten the mood. But the Dragon Lord just gave him a cold sharp glare, erasing the smile on Spade's face.

"I'm sorry, Boss. I didn't mean to upset you further with my jokes," Spade apologized right away.

"So why are you here?" The Dragon Lord frowned deeply as he questioned his subordinate.

Spade smiled once more as he remembered that he was there to report a piece of good news. This might change their Dragon Lord's mood.

"Boss! I have good news for you! I'm sure you will be glad to hear this!" Spade said enthusiastically.

The Dragon Lord suddenly became interested. "What is it?"

"It's confirmed! Phantomflake is still alive. Jack and I finally found the location where the Syphiruz Mafia was holding her captive. Jack is strategizing a plan on how he will get Phantomflake out of that facility! We will hear another piece of good news from him soon!"
