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
Esther smirked slyly. "Xander, there's no need to be so dull and rigid all the time. She's your wife and not some other woman. So what's wrong with helping her change into pajamas?""Even though she's my wife, I can't do things that she hasn't consented to when she's unconscious," Xander explained before turning around to shut the windows. "I'll go make some hangover soup first. You help her change her clothes and stay by her side. You're not allowed to leave her side."Esther asked, "You know how to make hangover soup? Why am I only hearing this for the first time?"Xander did not want to say a single word to the girl with many questions, so he walked away.He went downstairs and got to the kitchen. Thankfully, they had bought a lot of groceries from the supermarket that night, so the ingredients for the hangover soup were complete.He swiftly chopped up the ingredients for the hangover soup. After he threw the ingredients into the pot, he went to prepare the ingredients needed t
Xander was worried Abigail would have another bad dream, so he lay by her side for a long time. He only stood up and left after he was certain she was peacefully asleep.Unexpectedly, Esther—who was leaning against the door and eavesdropping—lost her balance and fell into the room when Xander opened the door."Ahh..."Xander covered Esther's mouth before she could fully let out a scream. Then, he dragged her out of the door.After he shut the door, he said to her in a low voice, "I'll skin you alive if you wake up your sister-in-law."Esther pouted her lips in dissatisfaction. "You're so biased! You don't want your sister anymore now that you have my sister-in-law."Xander skillfully changed the topic. "How dare you eavesdrop while leaning against the door! Tell me, how should I punish you?""Grandma told me to always keep an eye on you two and report advancements in your relationship to her at all times," Esther said while running. She was worried her brother would throw her do
Abigail thought for a bit. "How about this? We'll meet around Easter Tuesday. Since Easter will be over and we'll still be on vacation, Mr. Zane surely won't have the time to mind my business. He probably won't notice if I go out for a day or two."Emma said, "Then I won't give you my precise address for now. I'll still have time to run if Ron has also tapped your phone. We'll get in touch again once you're in Neese."Abigail understood her worries and said, "Alright. I'll contact you when I'm there."Emma continued, "I've only been out for over a month, but it feels like it's been a year. When I first escaped, I had bad dreams throughout that period. I didn't sleep well every day. I was so scared that I'd open my eyes to find myself in that familiar room with that demon-like man lying by my side."Abigail felt so bad she teared up. "Don't be scared, Emma. You're free. No matter how strong that monster—Ron—is, he won't have the ability to have his way in Francovia. Forget about the
