Married to my nemesis-Chapter 199: Attitude

"Oh my dear, don’t tell me that you have two tooth lost?" Abi questioned noticing the window tooth in front of his mouth.

Arthur simply nodded as she placed her hands on her mouth in awe.

"Oh my dear," she drops the spoon so she could gaze at him. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"The two tooth left and I was unable to be there to see it. Did you keep it under the bed to allow the tooth fairy to take the tooth? "

Arthur shook his head.

" No mummy, daddy said it doesn’t work. "

" Seriously? You’re dad said that? "

Arthur nodded.

" Oh really, your father has once again appeared with boring tactics. You know what, I can’t wait to b there so I could hear about how you lost those tooth and I would be able to give you such a big hug. "

" Me too mummy, I miss you so much. "

Abi stayed silent for a while, a smile on her face as she nodded.

She placed her hand on her lip and then blew a kiss to him. " We both have the feeling my boy, " she chuckled.

Arthur had a smile as the remaining part was occupied with silence and then Abi recalled something.

" Oh dear, what about school. Are you doing well with your grades? "

" Yes mummy, but I didn’t get to do my exam this week. "

Abi had a frown, she tried to wonder what must have caused it.

" Why? " She questioned.

" Daddy took me out on a trip for a week. He said I should get some vacation. "

Abi knew that it must have concerned the business rivalry.

" Didn’t your father tell your teacher to arrange a visual meeting instead? "

" I didn’t mummy. "

" Oh, " she said as she nodded.

" What about now, are you home? "

"No mummy, we’re in another country. We’ll be coming sometime soon. "

Abi frowned as she wondered.

What Vixen was doing affecting Arthur?

For some reasons she began to become anxious about Arthur.

She really hoped because of her mistake Arthur doesn’t pay the price.

She reached up to the gem of the necklace as she worriedly toyed with it.

"Arthur, could you call your father?"

"Okay mummy," Arthur said as she waited patiently but a bit nervous, she placed the bowl of her meal beside her as she watched Arthur hold the phone and then march up to wherever his father was.

"Daddy, mummy is asking for you," he called out to Vixen as he stretched the phone towards Vixen.

Vixen took it as he placed it in front of him, for some unknown reasons when Abi sighted him, she skipped a bit forgetting what she was about to say.

"Hi," Vixen said in a warm gesture as he waved at her.

"Hi," she said as she tried to spread her lips.

"How is the work going on there?" Vixen asked in a hoarse tone as she nodded.

"Is fine, I’m managing it," she stated with a smile.

"What about your father?"

"Umm, what do you mean?" Abi blurted out a bit confused but then she reminded she lied to him.

"Oh, I meant that father’s condition, actually, he’s still having the necessary treatment. I really can’t wait for the times he’ll be out just like before," she said in solemn as Vixen concentrated his gaze on her like he was trying to study her phycology.

"Don’t worry, I’m sure your father is going to be okay. Trust me, he wouldn’t want to leave his daughter so he’ll try to stay strong."

Abi nodded a she stared at her bowl filled with her meal, she raised her head once again to take a look at him.

"Vixen, about your constant emigration out of the country, do you have anything to say about that?"

Vixen scoffed a bit.

"What do you mean, Abi?"

"I mean, Arthur told me you guys are aren’t around and from what I could recall, just some weeks ago you where a cruise. "

" Well I only did that so we could spend some time together since you’re not around. "

" No Vixen, it doesn’t seem like you. I know how strict you are when it comes to Arthur’s education, I don’t think you will do that to Arthur and even allow him miss his examination. "

" You really don’t want to believe me? "

" That’s it, Vixen. You’re you, something must have happened. You can tell me, what is going on? Is there anything you can tell me? "

Vixen was silent for a while as he stared at the phone and then he shook his head.

" There’s nothing much, Abi. Everything is okay, just like I’ve told you were on vacation. Besides, you’re the one who accuses me of not being the fun father so I want to make the time to be with my son at least. "

" Oh okay then, " Abi said in acknowledgement.

After some moment silence occured the room as they stared at each other through the phone.

Abi guilty bit her lips.

" I think I would cut the call now, " Abi said about to reach for the end button but then Vixen spoke.

" Wait, Abi, " she stopped as she looked at him with furrowed eyebrows.

" What happened? "

" Well, since your father is recovering, I wanted to ask when are you going to come back? "

" Do you miss me? " Abi said teasingly as Vixen coughed a bit to shun her words but then he couldn’t help but do something that wouldn’t make the situation awkward because of her question.

" Well, the thing is not because I miss you, I just wanted to be sure about when you’re going to arrive. "

" Well Vixen, that’s going to be very soon, someday I’ll meet you, okay? " she said with a smile as he nodded.

" Okay then, that means Arthur has to wait a little more time before he could see you once again. "

" I think that’s what it’s going to be. "

She said gently as she bit her lip inwardly.

" Well, well then, I think I have to go now, okay? " Abi said moving closer to the phone and this time she ended the call.

Once she was done, she couldn’t help but heave a deep breath.

She couldn’t believe herself, why does she have to lie to Vixen over the times just to hide her identity?

After some thoughts, Abi heaved a deep breath as she dropped the bowl of the food on the side of the couch about to reach for the remote but she stopped.

Immediately when she was alerted by the sound of the door bell, she turned her gaze to the door and then a frown applied on her expression.

She walked up to the desk so she could see through the telecon on the desk so she could see her guest.

Outside the room was an obvious nervous woman, she had a gadget wrapped around her hand and through the huge black glasses of hers, she seemed a bit timid and self conscious at the same time.

Abi smirked as she sighted her secretary outside the room.

She stretched her hand towards the audio button and then she spoke.

"What are you doing here?" She said in a cold tone as the woman became startled.

Abi heaved a deep breath, she knew she must have felt like she was going to be fired for coming such a great sin.

Usually they were not permitted to come to her office but for the first time she gave that audacity.

The consequences of her actions may be severe and she really didn’t want to face it.

The secretary gulped her saliva as she stuttered to speak.

"Well Ma’am, the IMF said they wanted to give you a call. I tried connecting their call to you but then they requested I personally give you so you could talk."

It took just for a moment for Abi to roll her eyes out of frustration but then she tapped the screen button on thee desk that set the door opened.

Once the door opened, Abi marched up to the door with folded arms.

" Ma’am, I’m sorry if I —"

" There’s no need, I get it, give me the device, " Abi said as she stretched her hand and then took the tablet from her.

After that she requested the nervous woman to move out.

Before she left she gave a little bow and then turned away for her salvation.

Abi marched through towards the lounging area but before she got there, she released the video call from mute and video block.

Just at sight it was her brother Sebastian.

Oh, how could she kill herself any much longer?

She looked at him inwardly reciting patience is the key so she could at least hear his garrulous talks and then she would give him a earful for trying to contact her why she was at work.

It was not enough that he sent her away from the league, now he’s trying to make necessary arrangement to rub her wounds with salts.

She held the gadget in front of her a smile on her face.

"Common, what do you want to tell me?" She said in a nonchalant attitude.
