"The elders in the Hagrid family didn't want the family heir to marry a woman who would be of no help in his career, so they tried to break off the engagement. When Emma got the news, she drugged Ron and put him to sleep. What's worse was she called in various media to take pictures of Ron, forcing him to marry her.""You can't simply say such things, Keith." Abigail had suffered from a similar situation and did not want to see another girl like herself getting wronged.Keith's tone was firm. "Everyone in the circle knows about this secret. It would have been public knowledge if the Hagrid family hadn't done their best to keep things down.""Did you see it with your own eyes, or did you hear it from someone else?" Though Abigail had only met Emma once, she somehow believed she would not do such a thing."I didn't see it for myself, but everyone is talking about it, so it must be true," Keith said with absolute certainty."There are things in this world that can be false even when
Keith was at a loss for words.'How did Abigail and Emma know each other?' Keith wondered. He had just spoken about Emma's affairs in front of Abigail. If Abigail told Emma about it, he would never see anyone ever again.He then sent Abigail a message: [Abigail, please don't tell Emma about the things I told you just now.]Abigail had already put on her jacket and was walking downstairs before she said, "You can rest assured, Mr. Jackman. I don't have a loud mouth like yours. Let's go, Emma."Emma nodded, and they walked out the door together, hand in hand.After that, Keith cried out, "Aaah... what sin have I committed?""What did you do again?" Xander had just walked to the second-floor stairs when he saw Keith throwing a fit. However, even when speaking to Keith, his gaze would subconsciously search for Abigail. Sadly, he did not see her. He then asked, "Where's Abigail?"Keith replied, "Abigail was picked up by Mrs. Hagrid."Ron's expression darkened when Keith mentioned Em
Emma smiled and asked, "You done with your work?""I'm done. Where are we going to have fun?" Abigail subconsciously held her hand and tried to quietly pass on her strength to Emma. Emma craved the warmth Abigail gave. She grabbed hold of Abigail and then said softly, "The Hagrid family has a private estate at North Hill. Their estate has a natural hot spring. Since I saw it snowed today, we can soak in the hot spring while enjoying the snowy scene. Stella, Susie, and you are all at Valtara, so I thought about inviting all of you to have fun together. They both lied to their husbands to come to Valtara, so we can't let Mr. Zane know. Hence, I didn't talk about it just now. I don't have many friends in Valtara, and I don't have anyone to accompany me when I usually want to go. That's why..."Emma said all those words so gently and tenderly. Almost no emotion could be heard from the first listen, but Abigail felt terrible for her when she was listening to it. She held Emma's hand and s
However, she did not expect that Stella and Lucas' married life, which looked the most harmonious, also had some issues. It seemed that being single was better, and you would not have problems in that regard.As the topic of the discussion had risen, they could not let Abigail off the hook. "Abigail, what about you? How did you and your husband know each other?"Everyone asked so Abigail could not refuse to answer. "You could say we knew each other through matchmaking."The three of them continued their questioning. "Could say? Matchmaking?"Since she was preparing to get a divorce, Abigail did not want to mention anything about Nathan. However, there were three pairs of eyes still staring at her. Hence, she had no choice but to speak of it. "Both of our grandmothers were old acquaintances. Both the elders hoped we would be together, so we registered for marriage."Stella said, "It's not important how you knew each other; what's important is whether he treats you well sincerely. D
Stella had mingled among the messy entertainment business year-round, hence she was naturally more open-minded. "Abigail, you shouldn't just keep meditating with your head down. First, tell us about your man."Susie was usually supervised by Alwyn, so she normally could not do much. She had finally escaped from it, hence she would go where the fun was. "Tell us quickly. I want to know if all men are just as bossy as Alwyn and the others." Only Emma was staring at Abigail silently, not rushing nor asking anything.The spring pool was getting too hot, and Abigail's face burned from the steam. She could not say that she did not know Nathan at all, so she said, "He should, should be quite domineering..."The three of them exclaimed at the same time, "Should be?"The gaze of the three girls landed on Abigail again. They did not open their mouths to ask, but their expressions already said everything. If she did not speak, they would never let her go."I-I..." Abigail stuttered. Abigail
"Domestic violence? Domestic violence isn't a family affair. It's illegal..." Abigail was distraught and wanted to chase after Susie to take her back. Thankfully, Stella pulled her back.Stella was amused by her look at playing the white knight. "You shouldn't meddle too much. Even if every man under the sun does domestic violence, it wouldn't be Alwyn. He protects his wife like a hen protects its chicks.""Mhm, indeed, my wife has the clearest mindset of all and could see that the couple was just playing their flirtatious game." As Stella expected, Lucas, the bootlicker, also did come to Valtara and followed her here.Stella honestly did not want to be bothered by him, not even the slightest. "Lucas, could you please leave. I want to chat with my best friends.""What you and your best friends will be chatting about are just us, men. I'm now here to accompany you in your chat. Whatever you all want to know, you can ask me directly. " As the saying goes, you cannot lose too badly if
"Mr. Hagrid, Mr. Zane, you should have some very important stuff to discuss. We won't be disturbing you." Just thinking about soaking in a hot spring with Xander made Abigail uneasy. Especially after she saw his brilliant naked physique.That man was lying nonchalantly at the edge of the pool. His arms were spread open, showing his firm and beautiful muscle definitions. It was as if seeing a high and mighty king embracing his kingdom. It also looked slightly like he was opening his arms to welcome his beloved...Abigail merely took an accidental glance, and those nice-looking muscle contours were etched into her mind and continued to linger. She wondered deep down in silence, 'Under such laborious work conditions, how much discipline does it require to train and possess such beautiful muscles?'"We don't have anything important to discuss. "Xander was the one who said those words. He raised his gaze slightly and looked at Abigail. He saw her being wrapped in a bathrobe while standin
Ron suddenly said with a serious expression, "I've been preparing for a pregnancy recently. We might have already conceived a child, so many other matters should be easier to handle now."Xander asked curiously, "Child?"Though, he had not thought of such a long-term affair yet and did not expect to have kids of his own. In the past, he did not want one because his parents had left too large a trauma for him. He did not want them to be the same as him, born yet not raised by them. However, he thought it would be acceptable if it was with Abigail.Ron then said, "You can use children to tie her down."Xander rebutted, "Firstly, she's an independent person. Besides that, she's also my wife, not an item. I'll respect her and love her. I would never force her to do something she didn't want to do.""Mhm, I hope you can walk the talk and not let it hit you in the face in the future." Ron immediately turned around. "Emma, come with me for a moment. I have something to say to you."Just
