[ At Royale Nightclub... ]

Aiden silently watched Abigail as she drank her beer. He was dying to ask her what happened but he was afraid to disturb her. She was so engrossed in drinking her beer.

"Sigh. Abigail has an ulcer. Nathan forbids her from drinking alcoholic drinks. What should I do?" Aiden whispered to himself as he contemplated whether he should stop her or not.

Abigail finished two beers in just ten minutes.

"Abi, slow down. Nathan will scold me if you get drunk." Aiden snatched the third bottle away from her hand. But he received a deathly glare from Abigail.

"Don\'t mention that name or else, I\'ll cut your tongue!" Abigail took the bottle back.

Aiden could only sigh in defeat. \'So this is all about Nathan.\'

"Are you jealous?" Aiden asked her. He could somehow tell that Abigail already knew about Nathan and Helena. They went on a dinner date tonight.

Abigail gave him another sharp glare. "Stop talking to me. Just drink and flirt with them." Abigail pointed her finger at the women who were eyeing Aiden from their table. They just couldn\'t approach Aiden because of the woman beside him.

Aiden chuckled and shook his head. "I didn\'t come here to hook up with them. I\'m here to accompany you."

Abigail just rolled her eyes skyward before taking another gulp of her beer.

There was a moment of silence between the two of them. Abigail gazed at her beer, recalling the scene in the restaurant. She tightened her grip on the beer as she was still mad at Nathan.

"It\'s so hard to gain his affection. I don\'t know what I should do..." Abigail began to express her feelings.

Aiden glanced at her with amusement in his eyes. "Miss Abi... If you really like my best friend, then don\'t give up. You have Ethan\'s approval. Nathan will eventually fall for you. Just show him your sincerity." He wanted to console her.

Abigail shook her head. "What can I do? I\'ve done lots of things, but Nathan simply doesn\'t like me. Imagine! He hugged the woman he just met today! In front of me! Damn him!" Abigail slammed the bottle of beer on the surface of their table.

Pak!

Aiden\'s body jolted as he was shocked by Abigail\'s sudden action. He could see that she was furious and upset.

"Am I not likable?" Abigail asked him exasperatedly. "Am I ugly?"

Aiden tried his best to hold his laughter. This was his first time seeing Abigail getting jealous. And he found her very cute.

"Miss Abi, you are beautiful just the way you are. It\'s just that... you are frightening sometimes," Aiden truthfully said.

Abigail narrowed her eyes at Aiden. "Nathan is not scared of me. But you are!"

"Who wouldn\'t get scared of you? You just beat up three men. One vs three!" Aiden blurted out exasperatedly.

"It\'s their fault for provoking me." Abigail nonchalantly said.

"Miss Abi, I think you\'ve drunk enough. Let\'s go home." Aiden pulled out his wallet to pay for the bills.

"I don\'t want to go home yet. I\'m not yet drunk... okay. Let\'s stay here for another hour." Abigail refused to go home.

"Okay. But you can\'t drink more than five bottles of beer. That\'s your limit. Nathan will kill me if I bring you home drunk."

"Nathan doesn\'t care about me. He won\'t mind even if I go home drunk." Abigail corrected him.

"Hmm... if you just know," Aiden murmured, shrugging his shoulders.

*Ringing Tone*

Both Abigail and Aiden looked at her phone. Nathan was calling her.

"See... I think he is looking for you now," Aiden said with a teasing smile on his face.

Abigail pursed her lips and glared at her phone. She pressed the decline button as she didn\'t want to answer the call. Not yet satisfied, Abigail switched off her phone.

"Are you playing hide and seek with him?" Aiden chuckled.

"Nope! I\'m playing hard to get," Abigail responded sarcastically.

Meanwhile, at Moonlight Restaurant, Nathan\'s expression turned grim when Abigail ignored his phone call.

He excused himself from Helena when he learned that Abigail got hurt a while ago. The waiter informed him that Abigail left the restaurant with a bleeding hand. She broke the glass using her fist and stormed out of the restaurant without looking back.

Nathan immediately called the Sparks Mansion and Butler Li answered the phone.

"Is Abigail at home?" Nathan asked, his voice was cold.

"No, Master. Miss Abi hasn\'t returned home yet." Butler Li responded. He wondered why Nathan sounded angry.

"Call me if she arrives."

"Okay, Master. Got it."

When he returned to their table, Nathan was distracted. He was thinking about Abigail. Helena also noticed that Nathan seemed like he was troubled by something.

\'Is he thinking about Monica?\' Helena thought to herself, hiding the triumphant smile on her face.

[ An Hour Later... ]

At Sparks Mansion, Nathan was already at home but Abigail hadn\'t returned home yet. He kept pacing back and forth in the living room. He couldn\'t trace her since her phone was switched off.

He already dispatched Abigail\'s bodyguard to find her.

"Where did she go?" Nathan mumbled, feeling annoyed.

After a while, Butler Li approached Nathan.

"Master, Engr. Wu is outside..." Butler Li paused for a moment. "Miss Abi is with him."

Nathan pursed his lips when he heard that. His eyebrows were drawn together in a deep frown.

\'Why are they together?\'

Without waiting for Butler Li, Nathan stormed out of the house to see Abigail and Aiden. He had been worried about her. Who would have thought that she was with Aiden?

Outside...

Aiden was about to enter his car after dropping off Abigail. However, before he could open the car door in the driver\'s seat, he felt a hand holding his shoulder.

In one swift move, Abigail turned him around and pinned him to the side of his car. Aiden looked at her with his widened eyes, his jaw dropped in bafflement.

\'What is she doing?\'

Abigail leaned over him, bringing her face closer to Aiden\'s face. Then she whispered, "Do you think Nathan will get jealous..." Abigail\'s eyes moved from his eyes to his lips. "If I kiss you now..."

Aiden: "..."
