100 Days to Seduce the Devil



Day Sixty-Nine…

~~*****~~

[ At Yan Family Mansion… ]

Mr. Hiroshi, Abigail, and Dave visited Old Master Yan and Madam Priyanshi. The Yan Patriarch was looking better. His health improved a lot lately. He was back to his cheerful self. 

"My beloved granddaughter, come. Give me a hug." Old Master Yan beckoned with open arms. Abigail willingly embraced him, returning the hug with affection.

"Grandpa. How are you?" Abigail asked him, her eyes showing concern for the old man. She broke the hug and assessed her grandfather's figure. He finally gained weight.

Old Master Yan let out a soft chuckle and said, "I'm feeling much better now because you are here. I miss you and your sister." 

Mr. Hiroshi and Dave just stayed behind, watching the sweet interaction between the grandfather and the granddaughter duo.

"Are you nervous?" Mr. Hiroshi whispered, nudging Dave's shoulder.

Dave gave him a faint smile before responding, "Yes, Sir. What if they won't accept me?"

Mr. Hiroshi gave him an encouraging pat on the back. "Don't worry. Everything will turn out just fine. Remember, it's my daughter's choice to love and choose you. Stand tall, hold your head high, and face him with confidence."

Dave could only smile, feeling grateful to his future father-in-law. 

"Grandpa, I'd like you to meet someone," Abigail said, turning towards Dave and gesturing for him to join them.

Dave took a deep breath, calming his nervous heart. Then with a gentle smile, he walked forward, approaching Abigail and the old man.

Old Master Yan fixed his gaze on Dave, scrutinizing him from head to toe, his expression inscrutable.

"Grandpa, I'd like you to meet Dave, my fiancé," Abigail announced, her excitement tinged with optimism, hoping her grandfather would take a liking to Dave.

With her sudden declaration, Old Master Yan and Madam Priyanshi were both surprised. Did they hear it right? This man before them was Abigail's fiancé. Then how about Nathan? What happened to him?

It was as if Abigail had read their thoughts, for she promptly clarified the situation. "Nathan and I are no longer together," she began. "I ended things with him. Dave is the man I genuinely love. Grandpa, Aunt... we intend to marry soon. He's already proposed, and I've accepted. That's why we're here today. I wanted you to meet him."

Madam Priyanshi and Old Master Yan had mixed feelings about this. But they didn't want to make things difficult for Abigail. Nathan Sparks was a great catch. But they were respecting Abigail's decision.

"Tell us more about yourself, Dave," Madam Priyanshi blatantly said. Of course, they would like to know him for Abigail's sake.

"I'm Dave Falcon, Abigail's childhood friend. We grew up in the same orphanage. As for my work, I'm a policeman. We've been dating secretly for several years." Dave politely introduced himself to the elders.

"But because of my accident, I had forgotten about him, which is why I fell for Nathan. But now that my memories have returned, I realize deep inside that Dave is the only man I truly love," Abigail butted in.

Old Master Yan nodded his head. He could understand now why Abigail suddenly had a change of heart. It was because she lost her memory of her current boyfriend. And she fell in love with Nathan. But things changed when her memory returned. 

"Welcome to the family, Dave," Old Master Yan said, smiling at him.

Dave and Mr. Hiroshi were surprised because Old Master Yan accepted Dave instantly. Mr. Hiroshi couldn't help but feel jealous. He could still remember how this old man tried to separate him from Abigail and Jane's mother.

Old Master Yan noticed the sorrow etched on Mr. Hiroshi's face, and he had a sense of what was going through Mr. Hiroshi's mind at that moment. He regretted his past actions and now understood that he shouldn't have kept the two apart. He had learned his lesson and realized he couldn't place all the blame on Mr. Hiroshi. He felt a sense of responsibility for his daughter's passing.

"This calls for a celebration! Let's discuss wedding preparations over lunch!" Madam Priyanshi exclaimed with enthusiasm, clapping her hands. She instructed the maids to prepare the meal.

Madam Priyanshi guided everyone to the dining area. She could no longer wait to discuss the wedding. 

Meanwhile, Abigail held Dave's hand, gently squeezing it. "I told you. They will definitely like you. You got nervous for nothing," she whispered.

"Yeah. I'm so happy. I can't wait to make you Mrs. Falcon." Dave moved closer to Abigail.

[ At Zhou's Hospital… ]

Nathan had already left the VIP, but Jane remained deeply affected by what she had witnessed moments ago. Her mind was still thinking of Nathan. Just when she had resigned herself to the idea of not winning his affection, a glimmer of hope unexpectedly appeared.

"Nate… you are making my resolve waver. Sigh…" Jane lamented to herself.

"Bam-Bam… are you there? Please respond to me." She asked for Bam-Bam's presence. "Is it real? Or this is just part of my fantasy?"

"Not a fantasy, Master. I guess, the devil is missing you. He is waiting for you to wake up." Bam-Bam responded.

"I'm not accustomed to seeing him so concerned about me. Please, tell me, how did this happen?" Jane inquired of Bam-Bam, seeking reassurance from him.

"Hahaha! I guess… because I told him that you are dying!" Bam-Bam replied proudly.

"What??! How did you do that? I thought I was not supposed to tell him anything? Did you break your own rule?" Jane questioned him.

"Of course not. I didn't break any rule. I didn't tell him about the soul swap and the remaining days left for your mission. I just informed him that your days are numbered by letting him believe you have terminal cancer… specifically… a brain tumor."

Jane: "..."

"So Nathan's behavior changed slightly just because he believes I'm dying from illness. Does he want me to wake up to fulfill my promise and exact his final revenge personally? Or maybe, he simply pities me?"

"Hey, Master. What's wrong? Are you upset? You should be celebrating. The devil started to care about you!"

Jane could only smile bitterly. "Just because I'm dying. He didn't want me to die from illness. Previously he hated it when I committed suicide before his eyes because he wanted to be the one to end my life."
