Xander took the phone and quickly sent the photos to Abigail.Upon receiving the photos, Abigail immediately forwarded them to the group chat along with the message: [Guys, take a look at my stunning photos. Did they blind you with their radiance?]It was already past 8:00 p.m. in Paridale, which meant it was past 2:00 a.m. in Chrysalis. Supposedly, Felix and Melody would be asleep, but surprisingly, they both replied immediately.Felix replied: [Caterpie, you went out to take photos instead of hiding in the warm bed on a snowy day like this. Are you out of your mind?]Melody replied: [Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! When my dear Caterpie is here, even the Paridale Tower pales in comparison.]Abigail felt hurt by Felix's reply. She responded to his message: [You lousy Fee, you're such a typical macho man. No wonder you can't find a girlfriend.]Melody agreed: [Exactly, you deserve to be single forever!]Abigail replied to Melody's message: [My dear Mel is the best! Kisses and h
Abigail had a proper conversation with Felix and asked him not to hold such strong animosity toward Xander. After all, Xander was her immediate superior. She still had to work under him and meet him every day. However, Felix, who usually listened to her, remained stubborn on this matter and was not receptive.Abigail felt a headache coming on. She texted: [Fee, let's not discuss this matter anymore. Both of you have to be mindful of the time. Don't get carried away like last year, or you might miss your flight.]Melody responded: [Stinky Caterpie, no matter what, you have to take care of yourself while you're alone in a foreign country. The security in Paridale isn't good at night. Stay indoors unless it's necessary, okay?]The conversation shifted to safety again. Abigail replied with a simple [Okay] and hastily ended the chat with them.Just as Abigail finished the conversation and put away her phone, she saw Xander stretching out a hand toward her when she looked up. Instinctive
Xander carefully observed Abigail's expression. "It seems like you don't really like it?"If the top Paridale chef who personally prepared the foie gras heard that the evaluation he received was just "not bad," he would probably be so upset that he could not sleep all night."I like it," said Abigail. She looked at the plate of foie gras on the table. Its presentation was more appealing than the actual food. She asked, "Mr. Zane, can my camera eat first?"Xander did not enjoy browsing the internet and was without the habit of taking photos during meals. So he naturally did not understand what Abigail meant. "What did you mean?"Abigail smiled awkwardly. "I mean, can I take photos before eating?"Xander spoke gently, "You can do whatever you want. Let go and do it. You don't need my permission for everything.""Mr. Zane, you're really kind to your subordinates!" Abigail immediately picked up her phone, found a good angle, and took two photos. She even remembered to apply some filt
There was always a third person meddling in the couple's relationship, and another man had come between them. Even though Abigail was lacking perceptiveness in matters of love, she felt that this situation was rather unusual.Xander placed a piece of sliced foie gras into Abigail's plate again. However, she quickly stopped him and said, "Mr. Zane, I can do it myself."'I hadn't eaten it before and was worried about embarrassing myself with the Francovian dining etiquette. It was fine for him to help me earlier, but continuously assisting me like this was unnecessary. He was taking care of his buddy's wife in this way! Did his buddy and his wife know?'Abigail refused his help, and Xander did not insist. It was important for a husband to respect his wife's opinion. "The style of a Francovian meal is slow-paced. Let's take our time to eat and enjoy the night view," he said."Okay," Abigail responded. She had more interest in grilled food rather than foie gras. She considered herself
Xander's heart was melting when looking at Abigail's sweet smile. "Do you like it?"Whether it was due to the alcohol or the high indoor temperature, Abigail's face tinged with a faint blush. She nodded and smiled. "I like it! Being able to enjoy such a beautiful light show for free from the best viewing spot, how can I not like it?"The word "free" made Xander pause. He asked cautiously, "If Nathan prepared this light show for you, would you like it?"Abigail, who had just praised the light show, shook her head vigorously. "This is just burning money. Only a fool would like it if their husband spent money on these flashy things. Why not invest the money or keep it in the bank for emergencies? Why waste it on these flashy things?"Xander was left speechless. It seemed that not only could he not tell Abigail that he had prepared the light show in advance for her, but he could also not tell her either in the future, even if she found out about his identity as Nathan. Otherwise, she w
"Thank you!" Xander accepted all the compliments to Abigail from the passersby and responded with a sincere smile.As time passed, most of the sightseers dispersed. Then, a snowball hit Xander heavily, followed by Abigail's playful voice. "Mr. Zane? What are you doing here too?"'This girl can always come up with something new when she gets drunk.' Xander smiled helplessly. Behind his silver-rimmed glasses, his eyes were gentle and indulgent. "It's too cold. Let's go home now, and we'll play again tomorrow, okay?""Okay, let's go home." Abigail was also tired of playing. She threw the last handful of snow and walked into the snow-covered ground unsteadily.Xander pulled her back promptly. "Little fool, this way!"Abigail did not like being called a "little fool." So, she angrily retorted, "You're a fool! Your whole family is a fool!"Xander chuckled. "Okay, we're all fools.""It's your family, not mine!" Abigail shook off his hand and walked ahead quickly. The snowy road was sli
Abigail replied: [Aren't you supposed to be having your beauty sleep? Why are you still up so late?]Susie commented: [Wow, I also want to go to Paridale.]Abigail replied: [Come and celebrate Easter together.]After replying to the comments on Twitter, Abigail's WhatsApp messages kept coming in. There were messages from Felix and Stella.Abigail opened Stella's message and saw that she texted: [Abigail, I just finished shooting a night scene. It was a crying scene. My eyes are all swollen from crying.Abigail, let me tell you. You talked to me about your views on the female lead's character. It helped me to have a deeper understanding of the role, and I incorporated that understanding into my performance. The director and the screenwriter were especially satisfied after seeing it, and even the fans of the original comic praised me after watching the teaser.]Then, Stella sent a teaser video. Abigail opened it and watched. Indeed, it was impressive. The main reasons were Stella h
"Hitting it off and the time spent together. A relationship is a double blessing..." Abigail said.She could not understand why Xander was suddenly being so aggressive; she subconsciously leaned toward the car window.Xander realized he had scared her with his tone. He quickly recomposed himself and tried his best to calmly speak to her. "I understand that you two are childhood friends, and I also understand you two share a good relationship. However, you're both now adults. Especially now that you're married, you two should have appropriate boundaries. You're free to be close to any man; he has no right to stop you."'So you know the difference between men and women and that married men and women should have appropriate boundaries? I thought you didn't,' thought Abigail.However, dissing him internally was not enough. She even retorted to him with his words from just now, "You said he minds more of my business compared to my husband, but aren't you the same? Video calling and chat
