Abigail knew, without a doubt, that Xander was outstanding. "Why is it not 100 marks, Ms. Wright?""The only fault is that he's not my man," replied Winnie as she pondered, trying to use an explanation that would be easier to be understood by women. "Would you be able to give a limited edition bag a perfect score if you wanted it, yet it had already been taken by someone else?"This was a first for Abigail to hear someone compare Xander to a bag. She could not help but laugh out loud. "Please do continue, Ms. Wright. I'm all ears.""Stop with the formality and just call me Winnie," said Winnie as she poured another cupful for Abigail. "I like you, Abigail. I've stared at you since the opening ceremony yet never got a response from you."Abigail was flabbergasted. "Are you sure you're looking at me instead of Mr. Zane?"Winnie replied, "Yeah. I'm looking at him and you at the same time. Can't a plebian like me be admiring handsome men and beautiful women at the same time?"Abigail

It was just days before winter arrived. The cold wind howled and the air was frigid, but his body was so warm, like a portable oven of sorts. Abigail, with her frostbitten nose, stuck closer into his embrace. Her face was right at the place where Xander's heart was and she could hear his heartbeat accelerating.This was a first for him, to be this close to a member of the opposite gender, close enough to feel her breath and heartbeat, even able to touch her soft body. Luckily this woman was his wife on paper and a person he vowed to protect his whole life.Xander slightly increased his strength to embrace her tighter and involuntarily slowed down, so he could hug her for a little longer, but the girl in his embrace murmured, "Mel, you're so warm!"She only embraced him because she was drunk, and even had the gall to mistake him for someone else. This made Xander feel a sudden burst of anger. "You're not allowed to drink anymore in the future.""I drank a little more than usual beca

Xander, not daring to simply move her, immediately put her under the blanket, turned around, and entered the bathroom to soak a towel with hot water before returning to the bed and carefully wiping her face.He put in more strength to wipe as he reached the place where she was kissed previously as if trying to wash away the mark that was left on her by someone else.She was his wife and no one could kiss her when he had never even done so."Mel, Fee..." said Abigail as she suddenly grabbed onto his hand with her eyes closed. "When will I be able to fully repay the both of you for treating me so well?"'You don't have to. I'll repay it all for you,' thought Xander as he gently squeezed her delicate palm and said, "Be good and get some rest. Let me handle everything for you from now on."Abigail groggily asked, "You? Who are you?"Xander yearned to tell her that he was her husband, the only man that will accompany her for the rest of her life, yet the man he was right now was not f

He was heartbroken from seeing her tear-stained face and reddened nose.He lightly lulled her, and she fell asleep not long after. There was a knock on the door from outside. Xander quickly covered Abigail's ears, afraid she would be woken after having a hard time entering her slumber. He went to open the door only after ensuring the knocking ended. When he opened the door, he saw a despicable-looking Keith, sticking his head on the door. Xander asked, "What are you doing?"Keith gritted his teeth, trying his hardest to word it out. "Abigail is drunk and not in her right mind, Mr. Zane. It would be against the law if anyone were to do something against her own will.""It's such a pity that you had been tagging along with me for so many years, Keith," said Xander with a heavy tone, but his eyes were calm. "Get back to sleep. You have no business here."'This Keith kid may be overly cautious, but the fact that he dared to stand up for Abigail makes him quite a good man.'Having hear

"Am I really such a bitch, like you said, that I see someone handsome and would feel he was familiar the first time I saw him? I would even dream of him in my nightmare..." She smiled like a fool, as if it was funny. "Or am I having a lewd dream?"Xander was rendered speechless. 'No wonder she stared at me the first time she came to work for me. She felt a sense of familiarity but forgot who I was. I almost missed her that day, but luckily I decided to let her stay on.'"Tell me, Mel. Am I that hateful?""Who said you are?""If I'm not, why did everyone leave me all alone?" She wrinkled her face as if she had entered a painful recollection of her past. "Mom, Dad, that person, and even Nathan..."Xander's hand that was patting her back paused when she mentioned his name and a multitude of emotions overcame him. He caressed her forehead. "Don't worry, Nathan won't leave you. Not ever."She did not care to listen as she continued talking from the bottom of her heart, "I tried hard t

Abigail woke up soon after Xander left, having had many weird dreams of a lot of people yesterday night, but the weirdest part was that Xander was in all of them.Abigail quickly went to the bathroom and splashed her face with cold water, trying to sober up. She told herself, 'I'm fine with dreaming about someone else, but not Xander again.'She went downstairs as soon as she finished packing, thinking she would be the first to wake up, but contrary to her expectations, Xander was already having breakfast at the restaurant on the first floor. She immediately greeted, "Good morning, Mr. Zane!" "Morning," replied Xander as he nodded his head and pointed at the untouched breakfast. "Yours.""Thank you, Mr. Zane!" said Abigail as she set her table manners aside, sat down, and started eating.Xander finished, gracefully wiped his mouth, and noticed her attitude had returned to how she was with him at work. Feeling conflicted, he asked the obvious, "Where did you go yesterday?""Yesterd

Abigail had no choice but to sit down and continue the topic just now. "I've been working by your side for less than a year, and I've already seen women who pass you notes, women who give you flirtatious looks, women who throw themselves at you, women like Winnie who pursue you straightforwardly, and more."At the level of wealth and status that Xander had, even though his fame for staying away from women was well-known by everyone, there were still all sorts of people trying to send women toward him every day.To put it nicely, they offered women as a plaything to Xander. However, ultimately it was just a temptation and trap. Once he made a mistake and got caught, some things would be subject to the whims of others.Over the years, Xander had dealt with these things many times. No matter how he handled those people, there were always those who would take the risk and try again. Therefore, he had not yet found a way to eliminate others sending women to him permanently.Xander was i

After the drugging incident, Xander eliminated all the spies that Jane had planted in Chrysalis. Therefore, she had no way of knowing about the current situation between Xander and Abigail. Unexpectedly, the next she heard about Xander was that he had gotten married. It caused a stir. The announcement of Xander's marriage indicated that he knew his registered wife was his assistant, Abigail.Jane looked at the snow outside the window and sighed. "Do I really have to allow that woman who doesn't belong in high society into the Zane family?"Forest, who was by her side, immediately replied, "Madam, you don't have to be so worried. Although our spies have been eliminated, we're not the only ones who dislike Abigail. So, someone will naturally deal with her."Jane said, "Tell me whatever you know."Forest said, "Do you remember the Cooper family's concubine?"Jane nodded. "Just get to the point."Forest continued, "The Cooper family has declined over the years, and the concubine's li
