Day Forty-Nine…

"Chairman Xu, can I leave Ethan here?" Abigail politely asked Old Man Xu.
Old Man Xu let out a soft chuckle. "Of course. I would love that. Since it's the weekend, Ethan can stay here until tomorrow. I can send him to the Sparks Mansion."
Abigail held Ethan's shoulders as she bent over to look at Ethan. "Is it okay for you, Ethan? Can you stay here for a day?"
Ethan contemplated for a moment. He didn't want to get separated from Abigail because he became so attached to her. But looking into his grandfather's hopeful eyes, Ethan couldn't possibly disappoint his grandpa and make him sad.
"Okay. Miss Abi. Will I see you tomorrow?" Ethan put on a pitiful face.
Abigail bobbed her head, giving him a reassuring smile. "Yes. I'll see you tomorrow. For now, you can hug my teddy bear and put it beside you. She will be watching you."
