BXBX NOVEL Chapter 203 Scold His Father!
[ At the Sparks Mansion... ]
Abigail returned to the mansion together with Chantha. A while ago, she was about to ride a taxi cab when Chantha approached her at the entrance of the hotel lobby.
She was stopped by her \'lady bodyguard\', asking her to ride in the same car with her. Axel was also with her at that time but he stayed in the hotel, waiting for Nathan.
When Abigail and Chantha entered the house, Little Ethan welcomed them right away. He excitedly pounced on Abigail, hugging her legs.
"Miss Abi! You\'re back! Where is Dad?" Ethan searched for his father who was not around.
Abigail\'s expression darkened at the mention of Nathan. She was truly upset because of him. She didn\'t expect that Nathan could hurt her emotionally.
She was not supposed to care but she got affected by his sharp words. If she could only punch him once, then she would feel a little bit satisfied. She would somehow pacify her anger.
However, she restrained herself from punching him a while ago. She didn\'t want to create a scene there. But she was already thinking of a great revenge to get even with him. Perhaps, she would also do something to make him feel bad.
"Miss Abi? Are you okay?" Ethan\'s voice snapped her back to the present.
Abigail immediately apologized for not paying attention to his words. It\'s just that she didn\'t like to hear or talk about Nathan.
"I\'m fine, Ethan. Let\'s go to your playroom. Do you want to play a game with me?" Abigail changed the topic, not answering Ethan\'s question which was related to his father, Nathan.
Little Ethan paused for a moment, eyeing Abigail silently. He could sense that Abigail was trying to avoid something.
\'Did the two argue? They were supposed to come home together. But where is Dad?\' Ethan thought to himself.
After a while, Ethan just flashed his charming smile and bobbed his head. He grabbed Abigail\'s hand and pulled her towards the stairs.
The two proceeded to Ethan\'s playroom. Abigail would like to release her stress and vent her frustration by playing games. She would imagine that the character she was beating and shooting was none other than Nathan!
Little Ethan could feel her gloomy aura so he wanted to cheer her up together with his robotic friends Riemc and Powy. And they had an additional member... the newly developed Patrolbot, Star_S. Star_S was the one who helped Nathan and Ethan in finding out Abigail\'s location.
Since Riemc was the entertainment robot, Little Ethan connived with him to make Abigail happy, especially today she was feeling down.
"Miss Abi! Miss Abi, this is Star_S, the new member of our family!" Riemc introduced Star_S to Abigail while Ethan was setting up their playing area. Meanwhile, Star_S was registering Abigail\'s face on its memory bank or program. Star_S could easily recognize a person through this identification feature.
Powy was the one setting the data information about Abigail and her profile to Star_S memory bank. He just followed Ethan\'s instructions of what to include and write about Abigail\'s information.
Since Star_S was a patrolbot, it had to register and include in its memory the people living in that mansion. If ever the patrolbot encountered a stranger, Star_S would be put in high alert mode and would take action against the stranger lurking around the house and its vicinity.
Of course, Star_S could also distinguish the difference between a visitor or guest and a stranger having ill intentions and motives.

"Hello, Miss Abi! It\'s nice to meet you. I\'m Star S." The patrolbot suddenly spoke up, greeting Abigail.
"Nice meeting you too," Abigail responded, touching Star_S\'s head.
Abigail smiled seeing Ethan\'s three robotic friends who were surrounding her. They were so cute as they talked to her. Her mood somehow lightened up because of Ethan and these three robots.
"Miss Abi, do you want me to sing and dance for you?" Riemc asked Abigail with her goal to entertain her.
"Sure..." Abigail didn\'t refuse as she needed an outlet to forget about Nathan. She wanted to unwind and enjoy this moment together with Ethan and her robotic friends.
Ethan and Abigail sat down first, letting Riemc perform before they would play video games.

[ It\'s so nice to be happy ~Shalalalah ]
[ Everybody should be happy ~Shalalalah ]
[ It\'s so nice to be happy ~Shalalalah]
The atmosphere inside the playroom suddenly became lively because of Riemc\'s singing and dance performance!
[ I wanna take you to my world to be happy ]
[ \'Cause I can\'t live without your love ]
[ Yes, you know...]
[ I\'ve never needed anyone to be happy ]
[ But that\'s the way that things go wrong ]
[ Yes you know...]
Powy and Star_S were also moving at the back, serving as Riemc\'s backup dancer. Of course, the three were doing robotics moves. Abigail and Ethan started laughing and singing with them.
[ I was afraid to open my eyes ]
[ Don\'t even know how many tears that I\'ve cried ]
[ Now that I\'ve found the love of my life ]
[ I don\'t get down, down, down, down, down, down...]
Before the next chorus, Ethan already stood up, pulling Abigail as they joined the three robots. The two of them began dancing as well along with the three robots.
[ Happy~Shalalalah ]
[ It\'s so nice to be happy ~Shalalalah ]
[ Everybody should be happy ~Shalalalah ]
[ It\'s so nice to be happy ~Shalalalah]
When the performance was done, Ethan and Abigail both had wonderful smiles on their faces. Abigail felt refreshed. The song was very lively and it was a good choice of song to lighten her mood.
Ethan tugged Abigail\'s hand to capture her attention and said "Miss Abi, did you enjoy it?"
"Yes. I am." With a wide smile on her face, she turned to the three robots. "Thank you so much Riemc, Powy, and Star_S. I enjoyed your performance!"
"It\'s nothing, Miss Abi. We are glad to make you smile and laugh."
Then Ethan spoke again informing Abigail. "Miss Abi, today is Riemc\'s birthday. I stayed here at home to celebrate it with them."
"Oh! Happy Birthday Riemc! I should be the one singing you a happy birthday. But instead, you sang a song for me..." Abigail felt so touched.
"Thank you, Miss Abi. It\'s my duty to entertain you and Master Ethan." Riemc replied.
"Miss Abi, let\'s play now. We will continue Riemc\'s celebration once Dad arrives." Ethan was now excited to play video games together with Abigail.
However, he noticed that her face crumpled when his father\'s name was brought up once again.
"Miss Abi, can you be honest with me. Did something happen between you and Dad? Don\'t tell me he bullied you?" Little Ethan already had his suspicions.
Abigail sighed deeply before nodding her head. She could no longer hide it. Ethan was good at figuring things out!
"I knew it!" Ethan frowned deeply when Abigail affirmed it. "What did he do this time, Miss Abi?"
Since Abigail was still upset with Nathan, she tattled on him, informing Ethan about his father\'s wrongdoings.
"He got mad at me and blamed me for something I didn\'t do. He didn\'t even listen to my explanation and just yelled at me." Abigail even pouted her lips after telling Ethan what his father did to her.
"What?! He did that?! I\'m gonna beat that old man once he comes back!" Ethan folded his fingers into fist. He didn\'t call Nathan \'Dad\' but \'Old Man\'!
Ethan reached out, patting Abigail\'s back. "Don\'t worry, Miss Abi. I will scold him later. I will make sure that rude old man will definitely apologize to you." Ethan\'s sharp eyes filled with conviction.
"And Miss Abi, give him a lesson. Don\'t forgive him easily unless he will make an effort." Ethan reminded her.
Abigail giggled and replied, "Yes, I am planning to do that. I will not forgive him that easily. I want to see his sincerity if he will ask for forgiveness. But knowing your father, he is not the kind of person who will apologize to someone..., especially to me."
Ethan immediately shook his head. "No! He has to apologize especially if he is at fault. Hmmph. I will be upset if he will not apologize to you." Ethan grabbed her hands and squeezed them gently. He looked up with his pitiful eyes. "I\'m sorry, Miss Abi, if my Dad hurt you. But please, don\'t leave us here, okay? I promise I will protect you."
Abigail could only smile as she felt touched by Ethan\'s kind heart and sweet gestures. She truly appreciated it.
"Yes, dear. I will not leave you. I will be staying here... for a long time." Abigail said meaningfully.
