100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Thirty-Nine...

~~*****~~ ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

Abigail gave Dave a questioning look. "Are you expecting a visitor... at this hour?"

Dave just shrugged his shoulders with his innocent look. "I'll check it out."

Instead of sitting down, Dave traced his steps toward the door. Abigail also stood up, following him from behind. She was intrigued about the person who dropped by. 'I don't think Ana and Santra will come to visit us. The four of us bonded together at their apartment for the whole day.'

When Dave opened the door, he paused for a moment and turned in her direction. Their eyes met and Abigail just blinked in puzzlement. 'Why is he looking at me like this? Have I done something wrong?'

She moved closer to take a peek, but Dave stopped her by showing the bouquet of white roses he was hiding behind his back a while ago. A delivery man came. He ordered the bouquet from the flower shop nearby. He planned to give her white roses tonight.

Abigail was caught off guard by another sweet gesture from Dave. He was showing her his romantic side. Though he promised that they would act as friends, Dave couldn't stop himself from expressing his love language for his girlfriend who lost her memory.

"What's up with the flower?" Abigail asked him awkwardly. She was reluctant to accept the flower because she knew that this was intended for the real Abigail, not her.

Dave chuckled and gently patted her head. "What a silly Girl?! Of course, this is for you... Take this."

Dave grabbed her hand and handed the bouquet of white roses over to her, the smile on his charming face never left. Abigail could only blink her eyes, completely at loss for words. The way Dave treated her warmed her heart.

'This man... truly knows how to make a woman's heart flutter. But wait... why do I feel like he is treating me like a kid... I am older than him!' Abigail pouted her lips. Dave petted her head as if she was a small kid.

Seeing her adorable expression, Dave erupted into another peal of laughter. He reached out and pinched her cheeks. "Stop pouting and biting your lips... I might lose control and... kiss you!"

Abigail: "..."

Dave kept on making her speechless. But little did she know, Dave had been trying his best to restrain himself from kissing her. He missed her so much but now, he couldn't even hug and touch her for a long moment, afraid that he might scare her.

Feeling the indescribable tension between them, Abigail quickly stopped biting her lips to avoid his threat. But Dave's hands remained touching her face. They were in that kind of position when two people showed up at the open door, witnessing this scene.

"MISS ABI!"

Ethan's loud voice interrupted Abigail and Dave, catching their attention. The moment Abigail turned in the direction of Ethan's voice, she met a sharp gaze coming from Nathan who was looking daggers at them.

Abigail's eyes widened and her jaw dropped as soon as she saw the father and son duo standing at the front door. 'Damn! What the hell are they doing here?'

Ethan was also glaring, his deathly gaze not directed at her but at the man who was in front of Abigail. He felt like someone was trying to steal Abigail from his father and him. 'No! You can't kiss her!' From their line of sight, Nathan and Ethan thought that Dave was going to kiss Abigail so the young boy screamed Abigail's name instantly.

Dave followed Abigail's gaze, only to be surprised to see the two uninvited guests. He recognized Nathan. 'Is that Nathan Sparks? What is he doing here?'

Ethan didn't waste any more time. He charged in Abigail's direction, closing their distance. Upon reaching her, he immediately hugged her legs and gazed up with his pitiful look. "Miss Abi, who is this guy?"

Abigail, who stood frozen in her spot, didn't know what to say. She wasn't ready for this encounter. Just a while ago, she was thinking of how she could prevent Nathan and Dave from meeting each other. But now, the devil had appeared at Dave's front door.

'Damn it! What a bad timing?! Little Ethan is even here. What should I do?'

*There was a moment of silence for thirty seconds*

The three of them were waiting for Abigail to speak up. Then Nathan didn't bother to hide the anger in his eyes. He darted his gaze back and forth between Abigail and Dave. He also noticed the bouquet of white roses in Abigail's hand.

'So this man is Abigail's boyfriend... She lied to me.' Nathan rolled his fingers into balls of fury. His expression was as dark as charcoal. He stood in his spot with his rigid posture, gritting his teeth.

Nathan had the urge to drag Abigail out of the house. Though he felt betrayed, Nathan still wanted to take Abigail away from that guy.

"Miss Abi?" Ethan's voice broke the deafening silence. He tugged Abigail's hand, giving her a pleading look. He wanted an answer from her. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com

'Miss Abi told me that she liked my father. But how come she looks very close to this man?' Ethan felt like crying but he was just suppressing it.

Abigail looked at the young boy guiltily. She felt sorry for making Little Ethan sad. She didn't mean to do this.

Abigail shifted her gaze back and forth between Nathan and Dave. Then she looked down and her eyes stopped on Ethan's face.

She lowered her body so that her eyes met Ethan's eyes on the same level. She put down the bouquet on the floor and held Ethan's shoulders.

Among the three men, Ethan was her priority. She didn't care about what Dave and Nathan would think. She didn't want to see Ethan looking very sad.

"Come, Baby. I will explain things to you." Abigail softly said, giving Ethan a reassuring smile.

Ethan could only bob his head. Without further ado, Abigail pulled Ethan toward her assigned bedroom, leaving Nathan and Dave in the living room.

Nathan and Dave exchanged glances with one another. Then they shifted their gazes back to Abigail and Ethan who were walking away.

Nathan: "..."

Dave: "..."

'Are we both getting abandoned here?'
