100 Days to Seduce the Devil-Chapter 345 My Girl... Friend

Day Forty-One...

~~*****~~

While waiting for the performance of the children, some people in the auditorium preferred to watch and observe Abigail and Nathan. They couldn't see any sweet interaction between the two. They just sat silently next to each other.

Abigail could still feel the gazes directed at them. She already felt annoyed by the attention she was getting from other people. 'So many eyes watching me! I'm not used to this. I am more comfortable hiding in the shadows.'

Abigail decided to go to the bathroom and leave her seat for a moment. As long as she was with Nathan, people would continue watching her. Abigail stood up and was about to leave when Nathan grabbed her arm, stopping her.

Abigail gazed down at him with a questioning gaze. "What? I'm going to the bathroom."

"Stay. Ethan's performance is about to start. Do you want to miss it?" Nathan tightened his grip on her arm, not allowing her to leave. He could sense that Abigail was uncomfortable due to the people around them.

'Is she worried that people might recognize her? Or she just didn't want people to see her with me?' Nathan mused to himself.

At the mention of Ethan's name, Abigail quickly returned to her seat. Of course, she didn't want to miss Ethan's performance! She was looking forward to seeing him perform. She was certain that he would look so adorable while dancing.

Nathan's lips twitched, fighting a smile. He knew it. As long as he would use Ethan's name, Abigail would become obedient.

"Let go of my hand now," Abigail whispered to Nathan.

But Nathan pretended not to hear her words as he continued holding her hand. He focused his gaze on the stage where the first batch of children was performing. The little girls were singing a song.

Abigail could only sigh helplessly. She couldn't understand why Nathan was acting strange today. He was the one clinging to her. He even placed their entangled hands on the armrest of the chair for everyone to see.

A few minutes later, Ethan and his classmates appeared on the stage. The crowd cheered and clapped the moment they saw the adorable boys wearing different animal costumes. Ethan was wearing a tiger costume. Going to their line formation, the cheerful music reverberated in the auditorium. 𝒇𝔯e𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝙣𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝚖

Ethan started to dance, his eyes directed at Abigail and Nathan. Nathan was dumbfounded when he saw Ethan's genuine smile. This was the first time he saw his son looking so happy. When he followed his line of sight, Ethan was looking at Abigail lovingly.

'My son really likes Abigail,' Nathan murmured in his mind. He was darting his gaze back and forth between Abigail and Ethan. The two were smiling at each other. He could see the love in their eyes.

At that certain moment, Nathan realized one thing. 'Abigail can give Ethan the happiness I couldn't give him...'

'Monica should be here with us... not her,' Nathan's alter ego spoke up. Nathan became conflicted as he remembered Monica. Whenever he was slowly acknowledging Abigail, he would be reminded of Monica.

"Your son is so adorable... Can I have him for myself?" Abigail blurted out of the blue, snapping Nathan out of his train of thought.

Nathan glanced at her and he could see her eyes glimmering with joy. "You should have his father first before you could have him."

Abigail: "..."

Abigail turned in his direction but Nathan was no longer staring at her. His attention was now on the stage, enjoying Ethan's performance.

'Is he teasing me? This devil is shameless!' Abigail bit her lower lip while looking at Nathan intently.

Sensing that Abigail was watching him, Nathan spoke another word. "Eyes on the stage. I thought you didn't want to miss Ethan's performance."

Abigail was at a loss for words. She felt like Nathan was taunting her. Not minding his odd behavior, she shifted her gaze back to Ethan. It did not take long before Ethan and his classmates finished their performance. After leaving the stage, Ethan immediately approached Abigail and Nathan.

"Miss Abi, Dad! How is it? Did you like my performance?" Ethan asked them expectantly, his eyes sparkling.

Abigail wanted to hug Ethan and squeeze him in her arms. He looked so cute in his tiger costume.

"You are fantastic, Ethan! I love it!" Abigail cupped his face, caressing his cheeks. "I'm so proud of you, Ethan."

"That's my line," Nathan butted in. He was Ethan's father so he should be the one praising him. But he didn't mind Abigail's reaction. He just said it to join the conversation.

Meanwhile, Ethan giggled giddily. His mood was as bright as the morning sunshine. He couldn't contain his joy. He was full of energy as he moved around his father and Miss Abi.

'Congratulation, Ethan. I didn't expect that you would be a good dancer." Abigail gently patted Ethan's head. She continued praising him.

"Of course, he is my son. He is talented," Nathan made another remark.

Abigail could only roll her eyes. She was not talking to him but he kept on butting in.

A few seconds later, the Principal and Ethan's homeroom teacher greeted them. Nathan was a very important stakeholder in this school. They wanted to show him some courtesy.

"Mr. Sparks, we are glad to see you here, despite your busy schedule." The principal put on a broad smile as he extended his hand, asking for a handshake.

Nathan accepted his hand, shaking it. "My son is my priority," he simply replied.

"Who is this lovely woman, Mr. Sparks?" the homeroom teacher was not able to hold her curiosity. She grabbed this opportunity to ask Nathan while the principal was around. Both of them were dying to know the identity of this woman.

Abigail already made up her mind. She would not introduce her real name today. However, before she could say a word, Nathan spoke on her behalf.

"She is Abigail Scarlett, my Girl... Friend." Nathan declared to them, making Abigail speechless.

Ethan let out a soft giggle. He was so happy to hear his father calling Abigail his girlfriend.
