When Xander heard the word divorce, his face darkened suddenly and he said, "Your sister-in-law and I will never get a divorce. Don't say this kind of unlucky word such as divorce from now on."'Xander's facial expression changed so quickly,' Esther thought. She knew that she would be on the losing side if she argued with him. So, she could only back down. She said, "Okay. I won't say it again. Why are you so fierce?"Xander was speechless."Susanna, is the soup ready?" Esther glanced at Xander and rolled her eyes. She then turned around to look for Susanna. She got a bowl of soup and was ready to bring it up for Abigail.Before she went up, Xander reminded her, "Remind Abigail to be careful with how hot the soup is before she drinks it. Don't let her burn herself.""Abigail isn't a three-year-old kid. She doesn't need her boss to worry about this for her." Esther did not understand why her brother would suddenly be so overly caring. She then held the bowl of soup and stomped upst
Esther always knew that she was good and many had praised her the same before, but she blushed only when Abigail praised her. "Do you really think that, Abigail?"Abigail rubbed her head and said, "Of course! I need to get back home today, so let's plan a day to play another day.""I don't want you to go," said Esther as she hugged Abigail and descended the floor together.Xander, in the first floor's common room, heard footsteps, raised his head, and saw Abigail being well dressed. He doesn't need to ask to know what she was going to do. "Are you leaving?"Abigail nodded. "Sorry for causing you trouble last night, Mr. Zane."Xander stood up and said, "Follow me to the study."Abigail once again followed him up the stairs to the third floor, which came with a master bedroom, cloakroom, and study room. This was her first time going there. The study room alone was more than thirty square meters and was grandiose, and the book collections inside were equivalent to that of a library.
Patients with this disorder would not normally admit that they had the disorder because they did not realize that they had the disorder. Xander had no way to confirm if yesterday's treatment was effective at this moment, so he had no choice but to give an ultimatum. "Abigail, you should know that those with post-traumatic stress disorder will not be able to work as my executive assistant.""Is there anything that is lacking in my work, Mr. Zane?" asked Abigail as the hand beside her was tightly wrapped into a fist and her fingernails dug deeply into the palm of her hand. Only pain would prevent her emotions from running amok. "You don't have to find an excuse like that to let me go."Upon seeing her face getting paler from what he said, he knew that she had recovered her memories. He supported her by the shoulder and involuntarily softened his voice. "Abigail, it is only when you bravely face your past trauma can you fully let go of it. You can only start your life anew when you let
'Does she think that I lack the money to pay for it?' thought Xander angrily when he saw another thing that made him even more infuriated. There were traces of blood in her fingernails when she lifted her hand.He immediately caught her hand and asked, "What happened to you?"Abigail, who did not feel the pain, nervously retracted her hands. "It's nothing.""I dare you to say that again!" Xander grabbed her hand and forcefully said, "I'll let Dr. Sander treat the wound. Then, you can have a chat with Finnigan."Abigail wanted to say no. But, seeing his darkened eyes, she obediently kept her mouth shut and followed his arrangements....Thinking that it would be more comfortable, Xander arranged to have Abigail and Finnigan chat in the sunroom and left them alone in the room.He could still see every action clearly in the sunroom from where he was sitting.Esther approached Xander's side and asked, "Brother, how can you leave Abigail and that Finnigan alone in there? That Finnig
'Is my sister-in-law such a jealous person that I can't even hug you?' questioned Esther as she got more and more interested in the sister-in-law she had never met. "Brother, when will you officially introduce my sister-in-law to me?"Xander looked toward Abigail in the sunroom and said, "Soon."'When is soon?' thought Esther as she wanted to probe further but was unable to. "What do you think I should do to make Abigail stay, brother?"Xander said, "Do you even need me to teach you how to persuade a person to stay?"Esther pouted. "It's alright if you're not going to tell me how. I can just leave with her after all..."Xander cut her off before she could finish grumbling. "Follow me to the third floor."Esther asked, "Why the study? I don't even have any interest in those difficult books in there."Xander replied, "Follow me when I tell you to."Esther had no choice but to follow....Over at Abigail's side, Finnigan did not have many questions and only chatted with her over
"T-Three thousand dollars?" For someone like Abigail, three thousand dollars was an astronomical figure just to have a chat and was enough to cover her living expenses for one or two months. She could not refuse to pay since she had already gone through the session."I can increase the amount if you feel that it's still too cheap." Finnigan was not clear about Abigail's purchasing power and worried that the low price he quoted caused her to doubt him."That's still considered cheap?" Worrying that Finnigan would suddenly charge more, she immediately took out her phone. "I'll pay right now, Mr. Yale."Finnigan turned on his phone and showed his electronic wallet QR code to Abigail's phone, and the money was immediately transferred, "Would you like to meet Mr. Zane together with me, Ms. Renee?""No thank you. I still want to rest here for a while," replied Abigail with an apologetic smile. When Finnigan left, she turned her attention toward her phone on the tea table, eagerly waiting
'If Nathan truly meant what he said, he should still have time to meet me, no matter how busy he is. He said he would be back on the eleventh two days ago, but I didn't get a direct reply when I asked if we could meet up. Tomorrow will be the eleventh. Will Nathan come back to Florivera? Will he contact me?'Abigail flipped through her chat with Nathan, wanting to take the initiative to ask him if he would be coming tomorrow. But, in the end, she deleted her unsent message when she was done typing it. 'I won't contact him for now.'After deciding that, she opened the new message that was sent to her. She excitedly lifted her head to look at Esther when she saw the message with the annotation of the sentence that she could not understand. "You're so brilliant, Esther! You even know the explanation to this Old Chrysalan sentence."Esther looked at Xander. She noticed him hinting at her and had no choice but to take the credit for herself. "I just so happen to read this book.""Then,
Esther did not want to see anything she could not understand, so she hurriedly waved her hand. "There's no need for that. I don't want to learn. Why don't you teach Abigail? Abigail wants to learn, and you want to teach, so don't drag me in. I'm a child who doesn't like to read.""You have to learn." Only then did Xander look at Abigail. His gaze landed on her figure, and it immediately softened quite a lot. "If you want to learn, you can also learn it."Abigail was very willing to accept such benefits. She excitedly bounced around and said, "I want to learn; I really want to learn it. Mr. Zane, can you wait for me for two minutes? I'll go grab my pen and notepad.""Go then." Watching her merry silhouette made Xander's mood cheerful like her.He was merely letting her study together, yet she was so happy that she was skipping. She was such a silly girl who was easy to please.Esther was forced into his study mode. Every time she heard a stanza of the poem, she grew so sleepy that
