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
Xander instinctively opened his arms and wanted to embrace Abigail as she ran toward him. However, her words, "Mr. Zane", instantly pulled him back to his senses. He looked at her from head to toe and asked, "Did he bully you?"Abigail shook her head. "Mr. Hagrid just invited me to have a meal."After confirming that Abigail was fine, Xander said softly, "You go out and wait for me."Abigail nodded. "Okay."As Abigail left and closed the door, Xander's gentle gaze turned fiercely sharp as he looked at Ron. If looks could kill, Ron would already die under his gaze."Xander, why are you here?" Ron acted as if nothing had happened and handed a cigarette to Xander. "I haven't seen you smoke recently. Did you quit?"Xander did not take the cigarette. He said, "Abigail doesn't like me smoking."Ron sneered, "She doesn't even know she's your wife. Why would she care if you smoke or not?""She doesn't know, but you do. Yet you dare to interfere with her." Xander's voice turned deep. "R
"Whether my wife is steadfast to me or not, that's a matter between me and her. There's no need for you to test her on my behalf," said Xander. He felt happy that Abigail was able to reject Ron firmly. At the same time, he realized that if Ron intentionally tested Abigail for him, he would not agree with this approach.'I'm Abigail's husband. I'm the person who'll accompany her through the remaining decades of her life. Whatever Abigail said or did, I should unconditionally believe in her and support her.'Ron laughed again. "Did I mention you and your wife? I was talking about Abigail and her husband."Xander raised his eyebrows. "What's the difference?"Ron patted his shoulder. "Xander, let me remind you. Abigail is loyal and steadfast to her husband, not necessarily to you. To Abigail, you're just her superior, nothing more."Ron understood Xander well, and every word he said struck Xander's heart."You take care of your own affairs. My affairs don't need your concern," said X
Abigail opened her eyes and saw it was the bank card she had given to Emma. She became anxious immediately. "Mr. Zane, why do you have this card? Did something happen to Emma?""I've arranged for someone to take Emma away. As long as I don't say anything, Ron won't be able to find her in the short term." Since Ron dared to provoke Abigail, Xander would have to show Ron some consequences. He could not let Ron think that Abigail was easy to bully.Abigail asked worriedly, "Where did you take her to? Why did you give me the card back? She just settled in Neese. Now, she needs to start over in a new place. She needs money for everything and can't use her own card. What is she using to survive?"Xander took Abigail's phone and entered a new phone number. He then handed the phone back to her and said, "This is her new contact number. After getting off the plane, you can call her yourself.""Mr. Zane, has Emma really escaped from Ron? Is she truly free now?" Abigail stared at Xander inten
Xander's comforting words seemed to have a special kind of magic that would inexplicably allow someone to trust him unconditionally and calm a person down.Abigail walked out of the airport with him and got into the waiting vehicle to go back to the city center. During the journey, she asked, "Mr. Zane, you helped Emma escape Ron's clutches, right? Can I still contact her in the future?""You can contact her as you wish from now on. You don't have to worry about anyone," Xander replied to her succinctly.Abigail knew very well that although Xander may put it so simply, he must have contributed a lot behind the scenes for this.Emma had moved around before heading to Neese and yet Ron still managed to find her in such a short time. That meant that Ron had eyes and ears everywhere.Xander's own power base was not in Francovia; it was a very unlikely thing for him to completely avoid Ron's scrutiny in such a short time, but yet, he somehow pulled it off.Abigail looked sideways at X
[I still had plenty of places I wanted to visit, many delicious foods I've yet to savor and I still had friends I wished to make... I wanted to live, I wanted to live normally, I wanted to use the rest of my days to do the things I want and have yet to do.Abigail, it was you who pulled me back from the jaws of death when I decided to end it all. It was you who gave me hope once again. It was you who told me that we only have one life, and it was impossible to restart from zero; that I'll really have nothing left if I die.Thank you for saving me. Thank you for giving me the chance to continue to savor the highs and lows of this world!As for escaping from Ron... I was prepared to be captured by him. I knew that if he wanted to look for me, it was just a matter of time before he found me.When I was on the run, I was really afraid of being found by him, really afraid that I would be taken back to face those people I didn't want to face in the Hagrid family. I was afraid of living t
