Xander thought that his friends were unreliable in that aspect. Besides them, only the two old ladies at this home were able to help him. The two old ladies also understood the actual situation between husband and wife. They could teach him based on his specific situation.Margaret was still very wary and asked, "Then why did you let them bring so many things here?"Xander was crying and laughing at Margaret's words as he replied, "As a member of the younger generation, shouldn't I bring stuff when I come to see you, Grandma?"Only then did Margaret feel relieved. "It's all because of the foolish things you did last time, you rascal. You've made this old lady so frightened because of it."Xander helped Margaret into the house, then had the butler and housemaids leave before saying, "Grandma, where's Abigail's grandma?"Margaret replied, "She's feeling slightly unwell today. The doctor gave her some medication, and she's resting in her room."Xander immediately stood up. "I'll go
"They both had flings elsewhere, and no one owed anyone anything. The only ones they truly owed to were you and Esther. Both of you were just children and were given birth to by both of them. Yet, they never cared for you. Instead, your father treated his illegitimate child quite well."After hearing all that Margaret had to say, any remaining goodwill Xander had over the married couple was gone. Suppose that man had a woman he liked before his marriage and wanted to be together with the woman. In that case, he should have rejected the marriage alliance. Rather than doing that, he enjoyed the benefits of the marriage alliance while searching for so-called true love. If it was true love, he should not have let any woman be a mistress and let her stay by his side for tens of years illegitimately.These types of people were cowardly and incompetent yet still wanted to put the blame on someone else. Xander gave a cold chuckle. "Grandma, Esther and I have all grown up.""Being grown up d
Xander said panickedly, "Grandma, I've never thought of that.""It doesn't matter if you have this thought or not. What matters is what Abigail thinks." Margaret continued, "Since you missed the best time to reveal your identity, you don't have to bring it up specifically. Just be good to Abigail, even better than before. She'll understand your good intentions."Margaret suddenly thought of something before she finished speaking. "Wait a minute. You two slept together, and Abigail even bought you shoes. How could she not know that you're her husband?"Xander knew they had misunderstood. He had no choice but to cause the misunderstanding that night. He said, "We didn't sleep together. Abigail and I were on a business trip in Valtara at that time. Abigail fainted at the sight of blood, and I asked Grandma Cassandra about her condition. Grandma Cassandra was worried about Abigail, and she video called her. I answered the call for Abigail because I didn't want Grandma Cassandra to worry
Abigail said, "Grandma, I've received the apartment I bought. Once I finish renovating it, I'll pick you up and we'll live together in Florivera, okay?""Okay," said Cassandra."Grandma, I've been thinking about something for a while and decided to talk to you about it.""Go ahead.""I've decided to give Nathan and me a chance to see how things go between us.""Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Cassandra glanced at Xander sitting across from her. He usually appeared calm and reserved, but now he seemed so nervous that he did not know what to do with his hands."Because I feel he's a trustworthy man, and he might be a good mate with stable emotions. Grandma, would you agree to us continuing?" Although whether to be with Nathan was ultimately up to Abigail, she still wanted to know her grandmother's opinion.Under Xander's gaze, Cassandra said slowly, "What if your feelings are wrong? Don't forget that he wanted a divorce before."Margaret threw a punch at Xander in front o
Felix had already cooked the other two dishes when Abigail ended the call. Abigail served the soup, and Melody served the rice. The three of them split the work and worked together efficiently. Soon, the dishes were on the table.Felix said mysteriously, "Before we eat, let me share some good news."Abigail played along. "What good news?"Felix said, "Stella will star as Chloe. You should already know about it, right?"Abigail replied, "Yeah."Felix continued, "Caterpie, you mentioned before that you liked Stella to play the female lead. Why are you so calm when you know it?"Abigail responded, "I was excited about it last night already."Felix rolled his eyes at her. "Caterpie, did you register the account 'Fat Caterpie'?"Abigail admitted, "Yes."Felix said, "I'm relieved that it was you who registered it. I was worried that someone else registered the account and pretended to be the original author. Do you know that Stella has followed that account? Do you know how many new
Abigail said, "I'm worried about not being able to celebrate Easter with Grandma this year. I wanted to take her out for some fun, but her health condition isn't suitable for outings."Felix comforted her, "Let Grandma Cassandra focus on recovering for now. We can take her out to have fun once she's better.""I'm just afraid it might be too late," said Abigail. She secretly consulted the doctor before. Although Cassandra was actively cooperating with the treatment, her age made the situation not promising. Abigail felt particularly sad whenever she thought about Cassandra working hard her whole life without getting a chance to enjoy her life before falling ill.Melody suggested, "How about bringing Grandma Cassandra to live with us? We can share a room, and Grandma Cassandra can stay in my room."Abigail shook her head. "Grandma decided to go to Southcrest Residence with Nathan's grandma because she doesn't want to trouble me. She hopes that I can focus on my work. So she definitel
Melody did not force Abigail to buy since she did not want to. Melody said, "Alright, then accompany me to buy. I want to buy two slightly expensive outfits to wear at home for Easter. This year, I must steal the show from Yulia Scott, that bitch."Abigail smiled. "You still remember that."Melody said, "It hasn't even been a year. How could I forget? So what if she married a nouveau riche husband? So what if she carries a bag worth a few hundred dollars? During our class reunion, she boasted about it at least ten times. She said her husband owns several storefronts in our city and has hundreds of thousands of savings.""I could care less about her boasting as it didn't affect me in any way, but who knew she would insult us while doing so? She knows very well why you didn't return to North Florivera, yet she deliberately asked if you hadn't made any money or couldn't find a boyfriend, so you didn't go back for Easter. I shouldn't dwell on it, but it infuriates me every time I think
"We don't want your service anymore, call your manager." The dismissive, incredibly impatient attitude had even Abigail, usually a patient customer, at her wit's end. Some luxury goods salespeople act as if they own the store, looking down on customers at the drop of a hat.The saleswoman gave Abigail a once-over, from head to toe, failing to see how they fit into their high-spending clientele. Naturally, they did not qualify for the manager's personal attention. "I'm sorry, our manager is attending to VIPs."Abigail's voice took on a frosty edge. "Get your manager here, now."Seeing Abigail's assertive attitude, the saleswoman grew even more arrogant, resorting to shifting blame. "We welcome customers who want to shop. If you're here to cause trouble, don't blame us for being rude."Melody almost laughed in disbelief. "Are all the salespeople at these luxury brands so full of themselves now?""There are two troublemakers here, can you please escort them out?" The saleswoman shot
