Abigail thought, 'I think I'm finished!'The images in my mind are getting increasingly unusual.'If this continues, I guess I'll not be able to sleep tonight.'What should I do?'What can I do?'What should I actually do?'Abigail finally got an idea after rolling on her bed repeatedly. She hurriedly opened the music application on her phone. She searched for calming music.But after listening to it for a long time, not one of the unwanted images in her mind disappeared...She thought, 'I'll surely not be able to sleep tonight!'...Meanwhile, Xander could not fall asleep either.After finishing chatting with Abigail on WhatsApp, he was reluctant to put his phone away. He seriously read every message, every single word that Abigail sent tonight. He was afraid of missing any of her messages.The words that Abigail sent seemed to transform into voices.As though, she was whispering in his ear.He heard her calling him Nathan.He heard her saying she would only love her hu
Emma quietly wiped her tears. She raised her head to look at Abigail. She unexpectedly noticed Abigail's eyes were red too. She asked, "Abigail, what's wrong?""I'm fine." Abigail stretched her hand to gently pinch Emma's face. "Why isn't it painful? Am I dreaming again?"Emma was amused. She raised her hand to pinch Abigail's face and asked, "Silly, is it painful now?"Abigail said, "Hurts, it hurts... So, I'm not dreaming now. I'm actually looking at you."After Emma left, Abigail dreamed about meeting Emma more than once. She dreamed about Emma every day, especially in recent days after knowing Ron had always been monitoring Emma.She dreamed that Ron brought Emma back to Valtara. She dreamed that Emma's body was covered with blood. She also dreamed that Ron broke Emma's legs and asked her if she still wanted to run away...This morning, Abigail was woken up by this nightmare."Of course, this is the real me! This is real life!" Emma grabbed Abigail as she said, "It's dark no
Emma filled the table with food very quickly, as if she were performing magic. There was beef, lamb, and a lot of seafood. The last food she served was lobsters.Abigail jokingly said, "Don't tell me you raise lobsters at your farm too."Emma said, "We don't. But we're near the sea. If we want to eat fresh lobsters, we can just drive to the seaside market to buy them."Abigail loved lobsters. She liked to eat them very much. At this moment, she wished to just stay here and not leave. She said, "Emma, what should I do? You're treating me to such good food and drinks. I don't want to leave anymore."Emma then took some food and put it in Abigail's bowl as she said, "If you have time, stay here for a few more days. And when you're free in the future, you can always come here."Abigail asked, "Are you planning on living here permanently? Does the farm owner treat you well? Are you paid well? Do you have enough money to spend?"Emma smiled. "Abigail, to be frank with you, I own this f
Abigail said, "You're right. So, don't worry."Emma did not want to talk about Ron anymore, nor did she want to allow herself to be influenced by him for nothing good. She asked, "Abigail, how are you and your husband?"Abigail said, "We're doing fine.""Give me a second. I have something to give you," Emma said as she hurried upstairs. She returned with a jewelry box and said, "Abigail, this is for you."Abigail took the box and asked, "What is it?"Emma said, "You'll know after you open it."Abigail opened the box and discovered a ruby necklace inside. The ruby was the size of a thumb. As Xander's assistant, Abigail possessed the basic ability to identify gemstones. The exceptional color and patterns of the ruby showcased its extraordinary value to everyone.Abigail dared not accept such a precious gift and said, "Emma, you shouldn't give me such an expensive gift. Look, I came to visit you without even bringing a fruit basket."Emma specially prepared this gift for Abigail.
After Emma withdrew her gaze, her tears burst out when she turned around. The emotions she had suppressed for a long time finally erupted at this moment. While crying, she suddenly heard a deep male voice behind her say, "Ms. Blue..."Shortly after the driver drove Abigail out of the farm, several cars blocked their way. A man in a black suit knocked on Abigail's car window and said, "Ms. Renee, my boss invites you to the car over there."The car that the bodyguard mentioned was a Rolls-Royce Phantom. It was the epitome of luxury cars. Only a few people in the world could afford such a vehicle. Therefore, even without seeing the person inside the car, Abigail had a rough idea of who it was.Knowing she could not escape, Abigail walked to the car obediently. She opened the door and asked, "Mr. Hagrid, what do you want?"Ron's strikingly handsome face appeared before her. He said with a half-smile, "Ms. Renee, please rest assured. You're Xander's person. I wouldn't dare to harm you.
Abigail was sure that Ron had come for Emma, but she did not know why he pretended not to know Emma."Ms. Renee, please!" said Ron, seemingly extending an invitation. However, in reality, he left Abigail with no choice. Whether she wanted to or not, she had to go inside.In desperation, Abigail could only follow Ron to a private room in the restaurant. Ron even considerately took her coat and hung it up. "Ms. Renee, I inquired about your preferences from Mr. Zane. So I've already ordered the dishes. I hope you'll like them."Abigail said, "So, should I thank you, Mr. Hagrid?""We're on the same side. Ms. Renee, you don't have to be so formal with me." Ron took off his coat and hung it up. Then, he lit a cigarette and took a few slow puffs. "What kind of wine would you like to drink?"Abigail said, "I don't want to drink."Ron asked, "Are you afraid I'll take advantage of you after I drink you under the table?"Abigail said, "One should never intend to hurt others but should alwa
The more Ron listened, the more annoyed he became. He said to Abigail, "You trust Mr. Zane so much. Could it be that you've fallen in love with him?"'I treat Emma so well, but she's always thinking of escaping from me. Abigail didn't even know she was Xander's wife, yet she trusted him so much. People really shouldn't be compared. Otherwise, it'll just infuriate people.'Abigail's reason for her trust was simple. "Mr. Zane is my boss. If I don't trust him, should I trust you then?"Ron said, "You're evading the real question."Abigail admitted frankly, "I admire him! How can I not admire such an outstanding person? However, it's just admiration between a subordinate and a boss, not romantic feelings between a man and woman.""Are you sure your feelings for Xander don't involve romantic feelings between a man and woman?" Ron hoped what Abigail said was true. Among the four of them, Lucas and Alwyn had happy marriages. He would be the only one feeling lonely if Xander's marriage wa
Ron flicked off the cigarette ash and took a casual puff. He said to Abigail, "You can leave. I'll have someone invite Emma to dine with me.""Mr. Hagrid, are you even a human being?" Abigail could not stay calm anymore when Emma was mentioned. She slammed her hand heavily on the table. "Even if Emma left you, she was once the woman who shared your bed. She even carried your child. Why can't you give her freedom but instead keep haunting her?"Ron's eyes darkened. "So, you do know she's my wife? I thought you didn't know. Since you know, why do you interfere in our matters?""I don't care. Do you want me to watch Emma die before my eyes?" Abigail still could not bear to recall the scene of Emma's miscarriage that day. It suffocated her every time she thought about it. She said, "Mr. Hagrid, have you forgotten what happened on New Year's Day? Emma almost lost her life. Do you want to see her die in front of you before you're satisfied?""I don't care whether she's alive or dead. All
