Hellbound With You novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 Sexier

Everyone was dumbfounded with what Alex had just spouted out. Andrew sighed but seeing that Alex was glaring at Chris, the elders could already tell that the guy was jealous.

Abi's family finally realized that their attention had been on Chris this whole time that they almost forgot about Abi's boyfriend. No wonder the young man looked unhappy but they couldn't blame him. They totally understood why he was jealous and they felt sorry for being inconsiderate especially when they recalled that all they've been talking about were Chris and Abi's childhood since the party started.

Looking at how Alex glared at Chris, the old grandma smiled. She could tell that he must have been holding himself back a lot for a long while, considering the fact that he never came and joined their conversation or took Abi away from them the entire party. They had monopolized Abi and this young man stayed in his seat the entire time. She thought that this young man seemed to be pretty disciplined and had such a great self-control for staying calm this whole time despite him being jealous of Chris and she truly commended him for that.

"Oh, sure, sure, Alex. I told you before, right? You are always welcome in our home," Abi's grandma said with a warm smile, causing Chris to look at her in disbelief but as the great actor that he was, he didn't show any negative reaction at all.

Alex, on the other hand, was surprised with what he heard that because he didn't expect Abi's family to favor him at this point, since it was obvious that they adored this Chris guy so much.

"Yes Alex, you are always welcome to stay," Andrew also said as he patted Alex's shoulder, surprising Alex even more. Well, Alex didn't know but Andrew felt bad as well for ignoring him because Chris was here. Andrew knew that it wasn't Chris whom his Abi loved, but this man and this man, Alex, was the one who put sparks in his daughter's eyes. This man was the one who made Abi this happy, not Chris.

"Well then, Chris, looks like it's time for you to go. Your manager is waiting," Andrew told Chris as he looked at the idling car waiting for Chris outside.

Chris smiled and everyone said goodbye to him. He glanced at Alex one last time before he finally entered the car. Once the car door was closed, his calm and cool fa?ade crumbled and he closed his eyes. He loosened up his tie as he looked at Abi through the window.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?" his manager asked but he didn't reply. He just tugged his hair, looking defeated and then he laughed.

"Sigh… I can't believe I have lost before I could even start," Chris muttered. "Why I didn't look for her earlier?"

The man seemed so damned upset. His manager never saw him act like this before.

"Wait, don't tell me that the birthday girl is the first love you're always talking about."

"Mn, it's her. But she already has a boyfriend. Ridiculous, right? She has always been the only one in my heart but she… damn it!" He dropped his head, clenching his fists tightly. "F*ck!I didn't think it would feel this bad."

The manager sighed. It seemed like he would need to drop by a store and buy some alcohol for him. "Don't be too devastated, Chris. He's just her boyfriend, not her husband. You don't know what will happen in the future," he said and Chris immediately lifted his head.

"That's right, it's not over yet!" His dead spirit was resurrected in a second. How could he give her up so easily? Besides, he still didn't trust that mysterious man. What if he hurt his Abi? _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

With a newfound determination in his eyes, Chris decided not to give up on Abi just yet.

Back in front of Abi's house, Abi and Alex were the only ones left in the front yard as they watched the others leave as well.
