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
Abigail was stunned for a moment. After a long while, she managed to digest the words that he had said and asked, "Why did you do this?""To find a reason to make you have a conversation with me," was what he would have said. But he definitely would not have told Abigail about the actual situation, so Xander coughed lightly once and said, "To test your response toward an emergency."To test her response toward an emergency, which means if she did not find the breach, she would have probably been fired by him. She had been by his side for these few months, and Abigail considered herself to have performed every task wholeheartedly. Yet her ability was yet to be approved by him. This perception of him made Abigail slightly upset. She lowered her gaze and replied with an "Oh."Xander did not notice her abnormal behavior. He raised his hands to put the tablet back before asking, "What do you want to eat tonight?"Abigail did not want to bottle herself up and did not want to always be wo
Besides death, it seemed no place in this world could accommodate her."Young madam, did your period arrive?" When the masseuse helped Emma massage her waist, she noticed the white bedsheets below her were already dyed red from her blood. The masseuse's first reaction was that Emma's period had come, but with a closer look, she felt that it was odd. Periods usually did not bleed non-stop."It's not my period coming. The blood coming out of my body is probably from Ron's child." Even when saying such brutal words, Emma's voice was still gentle, without the slightest mood change."Emma, you..." Abigail jumped out of bed. Her heart almost stopped beating when she saw the bloodstains on the bedsheets. Similar scenes flashed non-stop in her mind. A person was lying in a pool of blood and trying hard to stretch his hand out to drag her in...She wanted to see clearly who the person was, but the person in the blood pool was blurry, so she could not see anything clearly. Abigail tried to w
