"Thank you, Grandma Cassandra! From now on, stay here and focus on getting better. Don't worry about Abigail; I'll take good care of her." After Xander got Cassandra's affirmation, the weight on his chest was finally lifted.Margaret said, "Cassandra, you can't forgive him this easily."Cassandra laughed."It's not up to you and me to decide. Let the kids sort out their own matters. Why worry so much? We don't have many more years to live anyway.""Alright. The younger generation will do all right on their own; we won't interfere," said Margaret. She turned to Xander and continued, "But if you dare mistreat Abigail the slightest bit again, I'll be the first to kill you.""Don't you two worry. It definitely won't happen in the future."After Xander bade the two old ladies goodbye, he hurried back to Florivera.On the way back, Paxton finally noticed how pale Xander looked."Mr. Zane, you don't look so good."Xander pressed his abdomen as he closed his eyes and leaned back in th

She did not know Xander's gaze remained on her the entire time. When the throw blanket covering her slid off, he gently placed it back onto her.They arrived at Valtara over two hours later and went straight to Parkview. Parkview was an incredibly high-end multi-functional area in Valtara that integrated business, leisure, and pleasure.The Zane Corporation staff occupied five villas. Naturally, Abigail and Keith stayed in the same villa as Xander.Each villa had a total of three floors. Xander stayed on the top floor, while Abigail and Keith each had a room on the second floor.Right after Abigail placed her luggage in her room, she got a call from Xander."Abigail, put your luggage away and come with me to meet someone.""Who are we meeting, Mr. Zane? I need to see if there's anything I need to prepare."Since the conference participants were all leading figures in the field, the meeting between company leaders and leaders were all scheduled. However, Xander was not scheduled

Xander held Abigail's hand and bowed at Alfred."Thank you, Mr. Bianco. This is my wife, Abigail. Abigail, this is Mr. Bianco, my close friend and also my mentor in life."'The two have an over 60-year age gap but can still become close friends. This really is an enviable friendship,' thought Abigail.When faced with such a beautiful friendship, the embarrassment Abigail had from holding Xander's hand disappeared. She said sweetly, "Hello, Mr. Bianco!""Pleased to meet you, kiddo!" Alfred was nearly 100 years old, and Abigail was much younger than his granddaughter. In his eyes, Abigail's age was of a child's. "If you don't mind, you're welcome to frequent my house in the future," said Alfred."Pleased to meet you too, Mr. Bianco!" Abigail took out her hand from Xander's and shook Alfred's hand. Just as she retracted her hand, Xander held it again.Abigail was speechless.'There's no need to constantly hold hands even if we're really husband and wife, right? Wouldn't doing so se

"Alright. Then, I won't be shy." Abigail took off her coat. She rolled up her sleeves and wanted to grill some meat.Unexpectedly, Xander was a step ahead of her and did it first. He grabbed the tongs and placed the cut beef slices on the grill. "You're usually the one taking care of me. Today, you're in charge of eating."Abigail said in a panic, "Mr. Zane, that won't do...""You're my wife. Why wouldn't that do?" Xander cut her off just in time. Abigail thought he promptly cut her off because he was worried she would blow their cover, so she did not think much of it.Alfred laughed and said, "The way you two address each other is so interesting. People who don't know your relationship would think you're his subordinate."Abigail was speechless.'But I really am just Xander's assistant,' she thought.Xander smiled. "Mr. Bianco, she gets embarrassed easily, so please don't tease her.""You're defending her?" Alfred picked up the wine jug. Then, he poured three glasses of wine.

"You're very right. I didn't take good care of her previously and let her get hurt. This won't happen again in the future," Xander said as he turned to look at Abigail. "I'm sorry!"His gaze was deep and bleary.'I'm guessing he's drunk, so his "I'm sorry" must be meant for Mrs. Zane,' thought Abigail.She thought again, 'I want to tell him to not beat himself up too much. The past is the past, so the two of them should just happily live together in the future. But I'm not Mrs. Zane. I've never gone through what Mrs. Zane had, and I don't know what's happened between them. I don't have the right to say anything at all.'Abigail did not speak. Xander smiled momentarily before he raised his glass once more and drank it.Alfred said, "Xander, why are you two so awkward? Did you two have a fight before coming to see me?"Abigail froze when she heard his words. Thankfully, Xander reacted quickly."Yes, we had a fight. If it weren't for your sake, she wouldn't have even spoken to me t

Abigail did not drink much, so she was still relatively sober. She planned to take a shower and sleep earlier tonight so that she would get enough rest to have the energy to deal with the meeting tomorrow.She realized she was still wearing the bracelet Alfred gave Mrs. Zane when she took off her shirt.She immediately removed it and wiped it clean before putting it into the box. Then, she took the box to the third floor to look for Xander.Abigail knocked on the door. "Mr. Zane, I want to give you the gift Mr. Bianco gave Mrs. Zane. Could you come out for a while to take it?"Nobody answered her.'He must be drunk. He had a lot to drink when we were eating. On our way back, he leaned into the back seat of the car as he rested his eyes and didn't speak at all,' thought Abigail.She hurried downstairs and made a bowl of hangover soup. Once the soup was done, she brought it upstairs.Once again, Abigail knocked on Xander's door. However, he still did not answer.'Don't tell me he

"He's got a weak stomach?" Abigail asked worriedly.'This is also something not written in the compulsory special assistant course. Otherwise, I would never have let Xander eat such spicy grilled food last night, no matter what,' she thought.Dr. Sander said, "You don't know how busy he was when he first took over Zane Corporation. During those years, he worked day and night and had an irregular schedule and diet, so his gastric problems were really serious. Around this time last year, he was so busy with the Alvonian branch that he had a gastrointestinal hemorrhage. However, he still insisted on working on the front line."People saw Xander as a shining overlord in the business world who was resolute and ruthless. However, little knew how much he had sacrificed to get to where he was today.When Abigail competed for the position of Xander's special assistant, she read a lot about Xander, causing her to naively think she knew everything about him.However, the longer she stayed by

'I thought she had realized something; that's why she came upstairs to keep me company of her own accord. It seems like I've overthought,' thought Xander.Abigail moved and reminded him that he was still holding her wrist. "Mr. Zane, please let go of me first."Xander released his grip in disappointment. "I'm sorry! I...""I understand. You must've mistaken me for your wife; that's why you grabbed my hand."Abigail saw how sick and slightly fragile he looked.'It must be because of his fight with Mrs. Zane,' she thought.She thought for a while and decided to advise him, "Mr. Zane, why don't you talk to Mrs. Zane since you care so much about her? Don't bottle everything up.""Would having a talk work?" Xander thought of talking to her, but he did not dare to take the risk.Abigail said, "You gotta give everything a shot, right? How do you know that it won't work if you don't even try?""Mhm, you're right." He laughed. "When we're back in Florivera, book a hotel based on your p
