100 Days to Seduce the Devil-Chapter 283 She Doesn’t Know Her Past

Day Thirty Two…

~~*****~~

When the guys made sure that they'd already given the ladies enough time to have catching up together and some time alone with Phantomflake, Aiden invited Abigail and Cherry to eat some snacks in the living room.

But Cherry felt like she hadn't got enough time so she chose to stay by Phantomflake's side. Abigail gave Cherry the chance to be with Phantomflake alone. Cherry said she wanted to talk to Phantomflake alone. Though she felt strange since she was the real Phantomflake, Abigail just let Cherry do what she wanted.

She almost told her this. "If you have something to tell Phantomflake, just share it with me. I assure you, Phantomflake will be able to hear your message and know your thoughts." Fortunately, Abigail was able to hold her tongue from saying it out loud.

"How is Cherry?" Aiden simply asked Abigail as they passed through the hallway going to the living room.

"She is feeling good. I guess she is happy," Abigail responded with a gentle smile.

"Hmm. You look so happy as well."

Abigail just shrugged her shoulders.

"Miss Abi, you are full of secrets! You are so cool. You can fight and you are an expert in computers! Where did you learn those things?" Aiden was praising her. Admiration and amazement could be seen in his eyes.

"You should recover fast so that you can teach me both fighting skills and hacking skills!" he added enthusiastically.

"Hmm. Sure. I will," Abigail promptly responded. She was also in a good mood so she wasn't annoyed by Aiden's blabbering mouth.

"However… I can't be with you always otherwise, someone might get jealous. So why don't you just ask your friend, Cherry, to teach me some hacking skills instead?" Aiden shamelessly suggested.

Abigail arched her eyebrow and halted on her steps. She turned to Aiden, facing him. Aiden held his breath when Abigail's prying eyes were fixed on his face. 'Why is she looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? Damn. What if Abigail didn't want me to get closer to Cherry? Is she protecting her against me? But I'm harmless.'

Aiden started to regret it. Abigail seemed like she had become serious now. Her intent gaze was making him sweat. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

"Who will get jealous?" Abigail asked him.

"Who else? Of course, Nathan!" Aiden didn't think twice as he mentioned Nathan's name. He also noticed the deathly glare Nathan was giving him whenever he would see them together. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

Abigail: "..."

"What about me?" Nathan's voice was heard at the back.

'Uh-oh. Speak of the devil… He is here,' Abigail thought to herself as she glanced in Nathan's direction.

"See! Here is the killer gaze!" Aiden mumbled after seeing the sharp gaze coming from Nathan.

Nathan got impatient since Aiden took a lot of time before going back. He just fetched the two women but he hadn't come back for several minutes. Nathan decided to follow him. And here, he saw him cheerfully talking to Abigail… ALONE. Cherry was not around.

"Where is Cherry?" Nathan asked the two, but his eyes were fixed on Abigail's face.

"She said she's full. She decided to stay in Phantomflake's room to watch her… and probably to spend more time with her," Abigail calmly explained. She didn't know why Nathan was looking so grumpy again.

Nathan didn't say another word. He just turned around and marched forward. He went ahead, without waiting for Abigail and Aiden. Watching Nathan's back, Aiden moved closer to Abigail and whispered, "See. I told you. Someone is jealous of me. If only looks could kill… I'b be dead right now." Aiden clenched his chest dramatically.

Abigail just rolled her eyes and elbowed his tummy. "Behave, Aiden. Don't give meaning to his tiger look. Nathan is always like that." pand(a-n0vel.c)om

'Don't give me such false hope,' Abigail added in her thoughts.

But Aiden would insist on what he thought. "Believe me. I am already familiar with that kind of stare. Many men are always giving me that kind of look especially if their women would stare at me lustfully." Aiden was shamelessly boasting.

p、A,nd A-n、o、ve,1 Abigail could only sigh helplessly before pinching Aiden's waist. "So Shameless!"

"Aww! That hurts!" Aiden grunted, pouting his lips.

Nathan was not able to control himself. Instead of walking ahead, he turned around and sprinted toward Aiden's spot. Without saying a word, Nathan grabbed his arm and dragged him, separating him from Abigail.

"Stop pestering her," Nathan said, scolding Aiden.

"Hey! She's the one who pinched me. Why am I the one getting dragged and scolded here?" Aiden complained. Then he stopped talking when he met Nathan's deathly glare. He just shut his mouth and obediently followed Nathan until they reached the living room.

Abigail could only smile watching the two men. She shook her head helplessly. 'Is Nathan really jealous? No way! No way???'

Meanwhile, Cherry was silently talking to Phantomflake when someone knocked on the door.

"May I come?" Stephen asked Cherry's permission. He just waited for Cherry to be alone before he decided to approach her. He had something to ask. He wondered how close Cherry was to Phantomflake. He wanted to know if Cherry knew Phantomflake's past.

"Yes, Dr. Zhou…" Cherry replied meekly.

Soon the door was pushed open and Stephen entered the room. "Just call me Stephen. Dr. Zhou is very formal."

Cherry just bobbed her head, giving him a faint smile. "I heard that you got injured when you joined the team in rescuing her. Thank you, Stephen." Abigail informed Cherry about what happened to Stephen. But she didn't give her full details of what happened.

"No need to thank me, Cherry. I also have a reason for doing it." Stephen said truthfully, his gaze shifted from Cherry to Phantomflake.

"If you don't mind, may I know the reason why you did that dangerous task?" Cherry asked Stephen curiously.

"Because… I think… I already met her. She might be the woman I had known before… as my patient." Stephen moved his gaze back to Cherry, assessing her reaction. She looked surprised when she heard Stephen's last remarks.

"What do you mean?" Cherry blinked several times, trying to figure out what he was talking about. 'My sis Phantom already met this gorgeous doctor? But where? She seldom interacts with men.'

"Where did you meet her?" Cherry added.

"Country Z…"

Cherry gasped when she heard that. After a while, Cherry spoke up and asked, "Are you her doctor?"

There was a gleam in Stephen's eyes at her last remarks. 'Perhaps, Cherry knew what happened to Phantomflake. She knew her past…'

"Yes. I am her doctor." Stephen smiled. He felt relieved knowing that Cherry might be Phantomflake's real friend. And she could help him confirm if Phantomflake was indeed his patient before and the special woman he met accidentally abroad.

"Oh right! I remember. My sis was sent to Country Z for her rehabilitation. For her physical therapy. She got injured severely and our guardian had to bring her abroad for her treatment! So you were her doctor! What a small world!"

The smile on Stephen's face slowly disappeared. Something was off with Cherry's statement. 'As far as I know, the woman I met didn't come to Country Z for rehabilitation or physical therapy. She was there for another reason… If Jane and Phantomflake are the same person… this only means Cherry also doesn't know the truth about Phantomflake's past…"
