Tywin continued thinking, 'Only at this moment do I realize how scary she is.'Abigail said, "You have parents and kids. Your parents run a small business, and your family conditions are quite good. You aren't a person without options just because you lost your job."People who aren't cornered rarely act so extremely. So, I'd been wondering why you did this. After thinking for a whole day, I finally figured out the whole story."Tywin asked, "How did you figure it out?"Abigail responded, "I figured it out through the timing of your appearance. You appeared around Mel around the same time when Nova was trying to make his presence known. Furthermore, you didn't appear for quite some time after Mel and you broke up. But shortly after Nova found me, you suddenly appeared."If I couldn't figure out the connection between you and him, then I'd truly be stupid."Tywin replied, "Now that you know everything, do you think I'll spare you?"Abigail raised the bag in her hand. "Inside this

"I was just giving you a friendly reminder. Whether you believe it or not is your business," Tywin said as he looked at the car parked by the roadside in the distance. He continued, "I was just a pawn placed by Nova around you. Now, you're of no use to him, and the same applies to me."Abigail followed Tywin's gaze and looked at the car. "He has someone following you?"Tywin looked at Abigail again. But this time, he was not surprised that she had figured that out. "Sometimes being too clever isn't necessarily a good thing."Abigail remained silent.Tywin continued, "Tell Mel for me that, in the beginning, I did approach her under Nova's orders. But as I spent more time with her, I genuinely fell for her."I genuinely wanted to marry her. I even thought that we could live an ordinary married life... Anyway, all the blame is on me, I've wronged her. Tell her I'm sorry.""You're sorry?" Abigail chuckled. "Do you know what the three words 'I am sorry' imply?"Tywin responded, "Of c

Abigail said, "Okay."Since it was the last lesson, Nora imparted everything she could to Abigail. Therefore, the class lasted an extra hour. The entire lesson took two hours.Susanna came back with the groceries and had already prepared lunch, waiting for Abigail.Abigail had already smelled the aroma of braised pork shanks with peanuts. "Susanna, did you make braised pork shanks with peanuts?"Susanna smiled as she responded, "Yes, yes. Once you're done with your work, come and taste it to see if it's nice."Susanna felt particularly accomplished when she saw Abigail get chubbier day by day. She prepared different delicious food for Abigail every day.For the braised pork shanks with peanuts today, she first seared the pork shanks until they were nicely browned.After that, she braised them in an aromatic stock that was reduced into a flavorful gravy for serving. She then added some peanuts to the dish.This dish was especially suitable for Abigail, someone who loved to eat m

Abigail merely yawned, and Margaret had already started imagining things.Although she knew the possibility of Abigail being pregnant was very slim, she still asked carefully, "Abigail, how has your recent sleep been?"Before Abigail could answer, Susanna chimed in, "Abigail has been extremely busy lately. She often goes to bed right after work. There were even a few times when she fell asleep in the study."Abigail smiled. "Grandma, don't listen to Susanna. My job isn't tiring. It's just that I've been feeling sleepy easily recently. Maybe it's because the weather has been cold recently, and the comfortable temperature makes me want to sleep."Margaret started to feel excited. "Susanna, does Abigail often look sleepy?"Susanna immediately knew what Margaret was thinking when she heard that. "It does seem like that."Margaret said, "Are there any other symptoms? For example... Abigail, give your phone to Susanna. I want to question her and see if she hasn't been taking good care

Abigail had no experience with pregnancy. If there were no particularly noticeable physical reactions, she likely would not realize she was pregnant in the short term.If Abigail only found out she was pregnant once the fetus developed, she might be reluctant to go through with an abortion.However, Margaret felt that this would be cruel to a young woman. She said, "I'll send a doctor over immediately to do a simple urine test for Abigail. If it turns out she's pregnant, we must let her know. Whether to terminate or keep the pregnancy, she should make the decision herself. We can't pressure her."Susanna sighed. She was very upset. "Before the divorce, Abigail was hoping every day to get pregnant, but it just wasn't happening. Now that they're separated, it's very likely she's pregnant. Oh, my goodness, why does fate always seem to go against Abigail?"Margaret was sad at the thought of not having a great-grandchild. But she told herself, "Anyway, Abigail is the only granddaughter-

Susanna thought, 'Judging by the expression of this guy, it's quite obvious that he's very interested in Abigail.'She was so anxious that she clenched her teeth. She whispered to Margaret on the phone, "Mr. Blau has brought a man here for matchmaking."Margaret was anxious too when she heard that. "What's that old man in a hurry for? Abigail is so outstanding. Many people want to marry her. Can't he give her more time to choose slowly?"Susanna hid around the corner. She poked out half of her head to observe the situation in the living room. "Not only is the guy good-looking, but he's also very tall. And he has a great demeanor and good manners..."Margaret was disheartened as she listened. But she still tried to persuade herself and Susanna by saying, "Abigail and Xander are over. We should be happy for her if she can meet another outstanding, good man."Susanna responded, "He looks outstanding, but he isn't as outstanding as Xander."Margaret replied, "Xander isn't lucky enoug

Margaret continued saying, "If Abigail can meet someone she likes, and that person genuinely treats her well, we should wish her well."Susanna responded, "I understand what you're saying. I hope Abigail can be happy too. But I selfishly think that Xander should be the one who makes Abigail happy."Margaret replied, "One's happiness and unhappiness shouldn't be in the hands of others. Happiness should come from within."Susanna did not respond.Margaret said, "I'll hang up now. Once the doctor arrives and conducts the examination, let me know the results.""Okay." Susanna was very sad when she thought about the possibility that Abigail and Xander might never be together again. She lifted her head to look and saw Ronan was looking at Abigail. There was a mix of admiration, assessment, and a sense of determination to get Abigail in his gaze.Susanna thought, 'No. I can't let Abigail be taken away so quickly. I must find a way to stop it.'After pondering, she suddenly said loudly,

Johann was worried. "Abigail, are you still unable to move on from the man who hurt you? I know Xander is outstanding, but what does it matter if he doesn't truly care for you?"Abigail felt extremely hurt upon hearing that. She thought, 'I know that. I don't need anyone to remind me.'Ronan noticed the sadness in Abigail's eyes and quickly added, "Johann, I personally think whether two people can be together depends a lot on fate."Just because the elders want to bring us together doesn't mean we'll end up together. Although I'm approaching thirty, I'm not currently planning to start a family. I'm only here to fulfill the task given by the elders."Abigail was relieved when she heard that Ronan did not plan to get married just like her. She responded, "Mr. McKinney is right. Fate and mutual attraction are indeed very important."Abigail did not hide her emotions at all, and Ronan noticed that. However, he did not say anything.Johann stared at Ronan. "This wasn't what you said t

Emma turned and dashed into the bathroom. She cranked the faucet on and splashed water on her face, aiming to soothe her nerves.Although they were engaged, they were still too young, with countless uncertainties looming over their future. The possibility of actually walking down the aisle was up in the air.Decisions made in a rush of happiness could eventually become sources of regret. And Emma knew all too well that she couldn't afford any regrets.She thought that fortunately, Ron hadn't pushed things further, which gave her time to cool off.After freshening up, Emma stepped out to find Ron on the balcony, a cigarette in hand.She couldn't resist chiding him, "I've told you to cut down on smoking. Why can't you seem to remember?"This time, Ron complied, snuffing out the cigarette. "We should get some sleep. We've got to put our best foot forward when we meet your family tomorrow.""Okay, I'll sleep on the couch. You take the bed," Emma responded.Ron simply replied, "As y

Ron looked at her dawdling pace with disdain. "If you, a lady, can handle it, why can't I, a grown man, stay?"His words sounded noble, but Ron regretted them the moment they arrived at the hotel.Despite now earning a decent income, Emma was still reluctant to spend money.This place was hardly a hotel; it was clearly a budget inn charging only a few dozen bucks a night. The hygiene was questionable at best, and safety seemed like a gamble.Ron turned on his heel, dragging her suitcase behind him. "We're leaving, now.""It's too late, and we can't get a refund for the room.""Are you trying to get us killed?"Emma fell silent, her thoughts a whirlwind of frustration. 'I told him he wouldn't be used to cheap places. He insisted on coming with me, and now he won't even let me stay here alone. Why is he so annoying?'However, considering Ron had rushed over in the middle of the night to help her, Emma decided not to hold it against him.Ron picked the best hotel in the area—the

Rebekah glanced over at Ron; she exchanged a knowing look with him before saying, "I'll have someone tidy up the rooms. Why don't you two stay here tonight and keep me company?"Ron replied simply, "Sure."Emma had purchased a midnight flight back to South Florivera, necessitating a rush to the airport, which made staying over after dinner impossible.Yet, she found herself at a loss for words, struggling to decline Rebekah's kind offer.As she hesitated, Ron stepped in to clear the air. "Mom, I've got something on tonight. After dinner, I'll drive Emma back to her dorm."Rebekah raised an eyebrow. "What's so important?" she wondered aloud, thinking, 'Wasn't he the one insisting Emma stay over? What's he up to now?'Ron kept it mysterious. "Life stuff."Rebekah could not help but chide him lightly, "You, always the joker."Right after dinner, Ron insisted on leaving to take Emma back to her dormitory. But as soon as they were out of the gated community, he asked, "So, you reall

Ron chuckled. "I didn't know you were aware that even a cornered rat will fight."Emma shot him a glare. "Are we going or not?"Ron quickly said, "Of course. When Miss Blue commands, how can I dare not obey?"Fearing another of his notorious driving escapades, Emma hastily buckled her seatbelt as she settled into the car.Thankfully, this time Ron kept it smooth, driving steadily.As they neared their destination, Ron finally spoke up, "You know, that Tucker guy is a married man. Don't let his kindness fool you into being the other woman."Emma's gaze on Ron was fiery, seething with anger. "Do you even hear yourself? Is that what you think of me? For the last time: Tucker and I share nothing more than a mentor-mentee relationship. There's nothing else between us.""I'm just looking out for you, worried you might get deceived," Ron said, witnessing Emma's fury for the first time. Yet, he could not help but find her anger not at all intimidating, but rather endearingly foolish.R

The two sisters had a pact: no cell phones at home to keep their secrets from the prying eyes of the Blue family. Thus, Emma could call only at prearranged times, the sole window for Rihanna to catch up.Rihanna's voice bubbled with excitement over the phone, as she chattered away about her life's minutiae.Knowing Rihanna was doing well eased Emma's mind.Just as Emma was about to end the call, she heard Rihanna's voice, soft and wistful. "You're really not coming home for the holidays? If you don't, I'll be all alone."Emma's heart clenched at those words, and she made up her mind in an instant. "I'll come back the day before New Year's Eve."The Blue family had their hands full with festivities that day, too busy to notice Rihanna's absence. Emma figured slipping back unnoticed then would be her best shot.After hanging up, Emma immediately booked a flight from Valtara to South Florivera. With her ticket secured and her last bit of work finished, Emma prepared to leave her off

Emma had no interest in romance, let alone the audacity to dream that Ron might fancy her.This time, she did not pick up the thread of conversation.After dinner, Ron, as usual, drove Emma back to the university.Before parting, Ron said, "Winter break is almost upon us, and the dorms might be off-limits. Are you sure you don't want to stay at my place for a couple of months?"Emma offered a smile in response. "Thanks for the offer. I've spoken with the dorm supervisor and submitted an application in advance. I'll be able to stay over the holiday period."Ron paused before saying, "Well, if you need anything, just let me know. I'll text you my number in a bit; make sure you save it."Emma nodded. "Sure."Without further ado, Ron drove off.Upon returning to her dorm, Emma saw Evelyn and Cassie, busy packing their bags, surrounded by gifts for their parents bought from Valtara.Evelyn asked Emma, "Are you really not going home for the winter break?"Emma replied, "No, I won't

Emma did not have the guts to risk failure because she did not have a safe haven to fall back on.Lucas kicked Ron in the shin. "Come on, if you fancy her, out with it. No Hagrid heir dithers like this."Ron glared at him. "Mind your own business." In his head, Emma was already his. The thought of losing her was unimaginable.Lucas said, "Without my meddling, she'd never be yours."Ron changed the subject. "I called you here for a serious discussion."Lucas replied, "No matter how serious, it can't outweigh the matter of your lifetime happiness."Ron was exasperated. "Lucas!"Lucas relented. "Alright, alright, you talk, I'm all ears."Ron spelled out Emma's music venture with Tucker. After hearing it all, Lucas could not help but see Emma in a new light."Never pegged Emma as such a dark horse," Lucas said.Silently listening to their conversation, Emma was thrilled to have her work recognized.Lucas said, "But, getting back to it, whether a song makes money, and how much, d

Ron barked, "Lucas!"With a chuckle, Lucas responded, "Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing Emma. I'm starving. Let's grab some food and talk business while we eat."Ron snapped, "Get lost!"Lucas could not help but revel in Ron's frustration. "Ron, have you fallen so quickly? Who was it that told me they would never accept an arranged marriage?"Emma was increasingly confused by their banter. "If it's inconvenient for me to be here, I can just take a cab and leave."Ron said, "Call you dumb and you won't admit it!"Emma thought to herself, 'I didn't want to be a third wheel, cramping their style. Was that really so wrong? No good deed goes unpunished, apparently.'Suddenly, Ron grabbed Emma's hand and led her inside. "It's cold out; let's go inside."Emma had to quicken her pace, practically being dragged along.Seeing them together, Lucas laughed heartily from behind. "Ron, oh Ron, never thought I'd see the day.""Don't laugh too soon. Your day is coming," Ron shot back.Th

Emma said, "Okay."Ron asked, "Have you won over your crush?"Lucas responded, "Secret."Ron replied, "Looks like you haven't won her over."Lucas said, "As long as I make a move, there's no girl I can't win over. But I haven't made a move yet because the timing isn't right."Ron asked, "Is it because of the Sandow family?"Lucas answered, "The Sandow family wants to marry their daughter to me, and my family wants me to marry her too. But I've told them long ago that I'm not willing to do that. Nobody can make me marry a girl I don't like."Emma remained silent. 'I didn't expect that Lucas would also have the same problem as me and Ron.'It seems like the wealthier the family, the more they'll arrange marriages based on social status without considering personal preferences.'Lucas seemed to sense Emma's thoughts. "Emma, my situation with the Sandow girl is different from yours and Ron's. Don't lump us together."Ron looked at Emma and suddenly said, "There isn't any other gi
