"Mr. Zane, can I trust you?" Abigail did not know what Emma had gone through. She only knew that Emma would not survive if she were caught by Ron.Xander lifted his hand to rub the hair bun on her head and answered with determination, "You can!"Since he said yes, Abigail chose to believe in him. Abigail continued, "Emma has escaped and didn't bring her phone. I worry about her, so could you help get someone to secretly escort her to the place she wants to go? Also, could you prevent Ron from finding her?"Abigail knew this request was outrageous and that it would waste a lot of time, money, and manpower. However, Xander was the only person who could oppose Ron's forces. Only he could help Emma escape Ron's grasp smoothly."You can rest assured. No matter how much money is needed, I'll bear it..." Before Abigail could finish speaking, Xander called a number right in front of her. "Arrange for men to follow Emma. Help her get to where she wants to go, and don't let Ron's people know
Xander returned to the twenty-sixth floor. Ron put out his cigarette and lifted his head to look at him. "Hmph, what sneaky thing did you and your wife talk about that you even need to hide it from me?"Xander questioned back, "What do you think?"Ron ignored him and asked, "How's Emma's condition now?"Xander said to Ron, "You should go back to Valtara. She's already not in Florivera."Ron was so anxious he was bouncing around. The voice that came out of his mouth was trembling. "What did you say?"Xander unhurriedly told him, "If you forcefully keep her at your side, she might die. If you let her go, she can live on properly. Ron, whether she lives or dies, it all rests upon your single will. You choose yourself."The calm words hit Ron in his most vital weak spot. It was not that he did not know the consequences of forcefully keeping her by his side... In that instant, it was as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out. Ron crashed heavily onto the sofa, then stood
Abigail went into the kitchen and opened the fridge to look. She saw a fridge full of food. Forget making a few homemade dishes; it was enough to prepare an entire banquet.She remembered the last time she had made him hangover soup at his house. There were only ingredients to make hangover soup in his huge fridge, with no sense of homeliness at all. Now that the fridge was filled, he seemed to have made preparations for his wife's return.Abigail took a high-quality tenderloin from the fridge and said, "Mr. Zane, how about we make spicy pork stew?""Sure, you can teach me from the sides, and I'll make it." Xander turned around to take a brand-new apron. He was wearing gray and white loungewear. Now that he was wearing an apron, it did not affect his beauty at all.Abigail did not believe a pampered person like him could cook this dish properly. "Mr. Zane, how about this? I'll prepare the ingredients properly, and you'll be in charge of cooking them.""To learn a new skill, the fa
Xander's height was too tall to accommodate her, so he slightly slanted his body toward her. His glasses were completely fogged up. From Abigail's perspective, it seemed like he had two white eyeballs. It looked particularly hilarious and comedic.Abigail withheld her laughter and stretched her hand out to take his glasses. Due to holding her laugh, her fingertips were slightly shaking and, unsurprisingly, touched his face. At such a distance, Abigail could see his facial features very clearly. The contours of his facial features were defined. Every spot was like an artwork that was delicately crafted by an artisan. No matter which portion it was, they were just right. Especially his long eyelashes. They were thick and curly, which made them very beautiful.An outrageous thought suddenly popped into Abigail's mind; if she had a child in the future, it would be great if she could give birth to a child as good-looking as Xander. Abigail was frightened quite severely by her own thought.
Abigail typed: [No one forbade you from speaking.]Felix typed: [Anyways, I think he had ulterior motives for you since I first saw him. You should be careful, or you might be betrayed yet not know it yourself.]Melody also typed: [Fee, you're just jealous that he's richer and more handsome than you.]Felix retorted: [You can curse me but shouldn't attack me personally.]Abigail texted: [In my heart, our Fee is the most handsome. How could Xander compare with Fee?]Felix typed in reply: [Caterpie is the best.]Melody interrupted them and said: [Caterpie, aren't you worried your teeth will rot from lying? Fee isn't the most handsome in my heart, but he's the most important man to me besides my dad.]Felix typed: [Hmph, at least you still have a conscience.]Abigail changed the subject and typed: [It's the 3rd tomorrow. I have another day on holiday. All three of us can go to the home improvement mall to take a look. After I get the apartment, I plan to furnish the new unit first
"I need you to help me taste-test some dishes today. My wife would probably like it if you think it tastes okay," Xander said very sincerely. Abigail completely did not notice his ulterior motive.Thankfully, she did not eat much for dinner and still had space in her stomach to help taste-test his dishes. He brought the dishes to the dining room while she helped serve the rice. The dishes were then swiftly brought to the table.After they sat down, Abigail wanted to wait for Xander to eat first. Instead, he pushed the dishes before her. "You should try first."Since she was the taste tester, Abigail did not coddle him. She grabbed a spoon and took a spoonful of cashew chicken. Due to her nut allergy, she separated the nuts to the side and only ate the chicken. Usually, when she ate cashew chicken, the chicken would be slightly chewy and easily get stuck between the teeth. She did not know what Xander did to the dish, but the chicken was still tender when eaten.Xander saw that she
To ease the awkwardness, Abigail immediately switched topics to Xander's wife. "Mr. Zane, the dishes you made were excellent. In addition to your attentiveness, I think the madam would certainly like the dishes you make.""Mhm, as long as you like them." Xander chuckled. "Could you teach me how to make another dish tomorrow?""Mr. Zane, if I wasn't here to watch you cook with my own eyes, I would've thought that a chef made these two dishes. Your culinary skills are much better than mine. There's no need for me to teach you," Abigail answered. His cooking skill was so proficient that Abigail did not think there was any need to teach him further.Xander was at a loss for words. It seemed that his performance was too outstanding.'Should I have made the kitchen explode while cooking for the first time?' Xander thought. He felt that he could try it next time.After finishing her meal, Abigail prepared to clean up the mess. Xander stopped her again and said, "You've already been a hug
Abigail interrupted her, "Dr. Sander, please stop mouthing off."Dr. Sander was speechless and thought, 'Did I make it backfire again?'She wanted to tell Abigail so badly that Xander's wife was her and that he did all this just for her. She should cherish him deeply and not betray his heartfelt feelings. She should stop pushing him toward other people.'Never mind, the couple should handle their affairs by themselves. I first have to handle some serious business,' thought Dr Sander, before saying, "Abigail, I heard that your hands and legs would get cold during the winter. Do you want me to help you check it out?"Abigail was confused and asked, "How did you know my limbs were cold, Dr. Sander?"Obviously, Xander had told her and even told her to arrive overnight. He could not even wait till tomorrow morning. She could not tell her the truth, so Dr. Sander had to make up an excuse herself. "When I was taking care of Emma yesterday, I saw that her hands and feet were extra cold, s
