"Thank you, Mr. Zane!" Abigail watched Xander enter the sales department. Then, she immediately took out her phone and looked up the phrase "house inspector".Abigail was shocked after searching it up. She learned that there were many house inspection companies. They charged two to three hundred dollars for unfinished units. On the other hand, finished units were more expensive and cost five to seven hundred dollars.This price point was not expensive for a big city like Florivera. Abigail could afford such a service but was too shy to reject Xander's kindness.Melody and Felix also arrived. The two were really excited. "Caterpie, we're now homeowners too."Abigail smiled. "Mhm. We've achieved one of our big goals in life.""Come on. Let's sort out the paperwork for the property collection," said Felix."Alright."After the three did the paperwork, the designer—Elisha Chandler—arrived.Elisha was tall and buff. Unlike his name, he was not lovely-looking at all. He wore a pair o

Abigail was pleased with Nathan's detailed explanation.[Got it.] she responded.Nathan: [Abigail, thank you for unconditionally believing in me.]Abigail replied: [We're husband and wife. Who do I believe in if not you?]Xander was ecstatic to see her acknowledge their relationship. For a while, he was so excited that he did not know what to say.Meanwhile, Abigail was much calmer after getting Xander's affirmative answer."Mr. Chandler, you're not only ruining Nathan's reputation with your words. If someone told your wife about what you said, wouldn't she be very disappointed?" she asked.At the mention of his wife, Elisha instantly changed his narrative. "I was just joking, guys. There's no need to take my words seriously. Come on. Take me to your place."Melody and Felix were dubious."Caterpie, do you really believe he was joking?""Of course I do," said Abigail.Melody and Felix did not say anything more after seeing how Abigail was so trusting of Nathan.The three le

Although he knew the photos were doctored, Elisha's hand trembled with shock. "Honey, these pictures are photoshopped. Someone is trying to frame me. I swear, I've done nothing to betray you."A piercing, caustic voice echoed from the phone speaker; Mrs. Chandler's. "Do you think I'm a fool? You're just an interior designer, not some high-profile figure. Who'd have the time to frame you?"Elisha felt like he could not seem to shake off this dirt. "Honey, please believe me. Someone is framing me. I swear, may lightning strike me if I've done anything to betray you."Mrs. Chandler raged. "Elisha, not only do you not admit your mistakes, but you also argue with me. Let me tell you, I can't live with you anymore.""Honey, I swear—"Before Elisha could finish, Mrs. Chandler cut him off. "Since you refuse to admit it, don't bother coming home."No matter how Elisha tried to explain, he could not convince his wife that he was being set up. 'I don't have any enemies. Who would frame me?'

'You'd be hard-pressed to find another person in this world as picky as him.' Abigail had not forgotten how finicky Xander had been about his food when she first started working for him. He would not eat anything too cold or too hot, nothing even slightly greasy, and nothing too bland. It had to be prepared precisely to his specifications. He had nearly driven the chef to the brink of despair. That being said, Xander did seem to have become less picky recently. 'Could it be that hanging around with the spice-loving CEO's wife has made him less fussy?' she wondered."Lost in thought?" Xander's mellifluous voice flowed gently into her ear."Just thinking about nothing in particular." Abigail tried to use the act of drinking water to mask her embarrassment, but she could not manage to twist the cap off after several tries. Xander took the bottle from her, effortlessly unscrewing the cap and handing it back to her. "Thank you, Mr. Zane!" After taking a few sips, her throat, parched from

Seeing Abigail's unwillingness to dine with him etched all over her face was a blow to him. 'Why is she so averse to spending time with me privately when I, Xander, haven't done anything wrong by her?' Xander thought it crucial to get to the bottom of this, or he would have to deal with her constantly evading him in the future.Before he could respond, Abigail stepped forward. "Mel, Mr. Zane is a busy man. He doesn't have time to dine with us."'Clearly, she doesn't want to dine with me, yet she sugarcoats her excuse so nobly.' Xander, who was originally planning to decline Melody's invitation, changed his mind in an instant. "Actually, I don't have much on my plate today. If Abigail doesn't mind, let's have dinner together."With him putting it that way, Abigail could not say she minded—not unless she wanted to lose her job. "I'd be more than pleased. Why would I mind, Mr. Zane?"Felix chimed in with a sour comment, "Abigail doesn't want to dine with you; she's being pressured by

Abigail asked, "So, you're suggesting I should agree to have dinner with him tonight?"Melody responded, "If we can dine at the place we've always wanted to go but never did because it was too expensive without spending a dime, why on earth would we decline?"Feeling like she had been hoodwinked by Melody, Abigail nevertheless agreed to have dinner with Xander. The Parlour was notorious for its exorbitant prices, yet it was never short of patrons. Reservations were mandatory, so Abigail had no choice but to use the Zane Corporation's VIP status to book a private dining room.With the restaurant reservation taken care of, Abigail had to continue with the property paperwork. Not knowing the procedures, she just did whatever the property management instructed. Unbeknownst to her, Xander had quietly joined her, taking the checklist from her hands. He scrutinized it meticulously, cross-checking every item the property management had provided."There's a missing access card here. You nee

Xander was at a loss, chain-smoking one cigarette after another, his mind becoming more perturbed and helpless with each drag. The more he wanted to make his marriage with Abigail work, the less he knew how to go about it. He was born into business, taught how to conduct it, and possessed a natural talent for it. Over the years, he had never had a failed business, leading many to hail him as a king in the business world. Yet, nobody had ever taught him how to manage a marriage, and he certainly was not a love genius. Faced with what many found an easy task – marriage – he felt like a clueless child, not knowing where to start.He tilted his head back slightly, gazing at the slowly rising moon in the sky, and a memory from many years ago surfaced in his mind.He could not recall how old he had been when the event occurred, but he remembered clearly walking in on his mother in bed with a man he did not recognize. He was too young at the time to understand the concept of betrayal or inf

His voice was not only pleasing to the ear, but the sincerity laced with a hint of helplessness and vulnerability was something Abigail had never seen in him before. As inexperienced in marriage as she was, she found herself wanting to help him."Mr. Zane," she said, "I personally believe the fact that you're even thinking about this is key to the success of your marriage.""Really?" Xander paused before asking, "Let me ask you: what do women expect from their husbands?""I can't speak for all women," she began, "But for me, I don't need my husband to be wealthy. He should be faithful, respect me, my family, my career, and make decisions with me. A married life is definitely something both partners need to work on together." From her perspective, Nathan had already met several of these conditions, which was why she was willing to give him a chance. When he had misunderstood her before, he was still willing to visit her sick grandmother, which showed his respect for elders.Hearing
