Abigail said, "Grandpa, this money..."To Johann, this amount of money was very insignificant. He responded, "You should spend this money tomorrow. It's a new year, you should buy yourself a couple of new clothes."Abigail said, "Grandpa, you had people custom-make many sets of clothes for me just a few days ago. I still haven't worn them yet. So, I won't be buying any new clothes. You should keep this money. The gift money I received today, we'll surely need to return the courtesy one day. I'm not close to them. So, you need to be the one who returns the courtesy."Johann unhappily stared at Abigail. "Do you think I'm short of this kind of money? You should keep the money the elders gave you. I know I need to return the courtesy. You don't have to worry about that."Abigail said, "I'm not close to them. It makes me a little uneasy to receive so much money from them."Johann replied, "It was all from the elders of our family. So, you just keep the money. You don't need to feel une

Kane had just helped Nathan to remove the IV drip. He responded, "This afternoon, you made a fuss and said you wanted to go tomorrow. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"Nathan raised his eyes and coldly glanced at Kane. "Did I make a fuss?"Kane was speechless.He thought, 'Men! He won't admit what he did. He made a fuss and is now denying it.'Nathan got off the bed and walked toward the door excitedly. "Susanna, Susanna..."Susanna quickly went to him. "Nathan, don't be so loud. I can hear you. Do you want me to prepare some food for Abigail again? I'll immediately go and make whatever she's craving for."Nathan responded, "She's coming to visit us tomorrow. You get people to clean the house. Also, make it clear to Ms. Mosby that she must act well. If she performs well, I'll surely reward her. If she messes up, she won't be able to bear the consequences."Susanna replied, "You can trust her acting. I'm more concerned about your health."Nathan said, "I'm fine."Kane was

After Abigail woke up, she went to the kitchen and started getting busy.During this period, she had eaten many delicious foods sent over by Lydia's servants. So, she wanted to make something herself to give to Lydia.Lydia liked to make Mont Blanc. So, Abigail guessed Lydia liked to eat desserts. Abigail then decided to make two kinds of desserts that she was good at.One dessert was banana pudding, and the other was apple pie. It was exactly 10:00 a.m. when she finished making the two desserts. She texted Lydia: [Ms. Mosby, I'm coming over now. Are you available?]Lydia replied to her almost instantly: [Yes. I'll go to your house and get you.]Abigail responded: [It's fine. It's so nearby. I can just walk to your house myself.]Abigail then went out with the desserts after sending the message. Unexpectedly, she saw a beautiful middle-aged woman standing at the entrance as soon as she left the yard.The woman smiled as she looked at Abigail. "You must be Abigail."Abigail resp

Abigail felt very guilty when she saw Lydia was so friendly and had prepared so many things for her. She said, "Ms. Mosby, I came over to chat with you. I didn't think I'd trouble you so much."Lydia responded, "No trouble at all. We're neighbors. And fate brought us together. You should come here more often in the future. And don't be so formal."Abigail had been in Valtara for over half a year. And she had met quite a lot of people through Johann.Many people praised Abigail in front of Johann, but behind her back, they called her an unknown child who came out of nowhere.Some even said she did some tricks and deceived Johann to become a part of the Blau family.In short, she could not truly join the Blau family's social circle.Fortunately, she had always preferred to have her freedom. She had never thought of blending into the wealthy circle.So, in the past six months, Abigail did not have anyone she could truly chat with in Valtara other than Johann, Marlin, and Marlin's b

Lydia said, "Yes, living a peaceful and healthy life is the most important."The two of them chatted for a long time. Their topics were everyday topics.And two hours had passed without them realizing.Lydia had arranged for the servants to prepare lunch.Before lunch, Abigail went to the washroom.There, she noticed the scent of sandalwood, which she found familiar. She lowered her head and confirmed it was the brand she recognized.When she lived in Xander's house in Monsoon Villa, Susanna would always place this type of sandalwood scent in every bathroom to ensure there were no unpleasant odors.This kind of sandalwood was not cheap and was usually a luxury for ordinary households. It seemed likely to be only used by wealthy people.After Abigail came out of the washroom, she looked around and asked, "Ms. Mosby, did you renovate this place after moving in?"Lydia was stunned for a moment before she smiled. "Yes, I did. Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to dec

Lydia quickly withdrew her gaze. It was just a glance, but Abigail still noticed it.She chuckled and said, "Ms. Mosby, I was just joking with you. How could I possibly snatch the chef you like away?"After she said that, Abigail could clearly feel Lydia was relieved.To ease the awkwardness, Lydia put some food into Abigail's bowl again. "If you really want it, I can ask the chef to go to your house and cook for you."Abigail did not speak further. She just continued eating.When Abigail almost finished eating, she casually said, "The taste of these dishes is similar to what someone I know would make."Lydia's hand then trembled when she was taking some food.At this point, Abigail had guessed something. But she continued to chat calmly, "Maybe because North Floriveran dishes generally have similar taste."Lydia responded, "Maybe tasty dishes all taste somewhat similar. Anyway, if there's anything you want to eat in the future, you can just let me know."Abigail said, "Sure."

Today, from the moment Abigail met Lydia, she felt that everything Lydia said seemed nothing out of the ordinary. However, after she reflected on their conversation carefully, she noticed every sentence Lydia said seemed to have a hidden agenda.The conversation between them seemed casual, but each question from Lydia felt rehearsed, as if she was reciting a script.The most obvious giveaway was the way Lydia talked to Abigail in person felt completely different to Abigail than from how she usually chatted on WhatsApp.She felt the way Lydia treated her in person seemed more like going through the motions.Abigail was lost in her thoughts. 'The Lydia I chatted with on WhatsApp was like a confidant and a wayshower. She was very warm and patient toward me.'Whenever I had something that I couldn't figure out, she could always help me figure out my problems after casually chatting with me.'Abigail wondered, 'So, who could be behind Lydia? Nathan or Grandma? Could it be Grandma? Is

Kane tightly held Nathan's hand. "Nathan, I know Abigail is here. Listen to me, you're still recovering. You shouldn't get emotional. Please calm down, all right?""Okay, okay. I'll calm down..." Nathan tried hard to calm himself. But he would get emotional whenever he saw Abigail's face on the monitor.He started coughing very intensely again.Kane was extremely worried. "Do you still want to meet Abigail? If something happens to you, who'll protect her and the child?"Do you really think other men can love her child like their own? Who'll protect her if people start calling your child fatherless in the future?"Nathan instantly calmed down upon hearing that.Kane quickly took the medicine for Nathan. "Take this now."Nathan did not want to take it. But when he thought about his wife and child, he swallowed it without any hesitation.Kane was finally satisfied when he saw Nathan obediently take the medicine.Kane also saw Abigail on the monitor. "Abigail is getting more and m

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
