Of course, it was absolutely impossible for her to disclose all these to people unrelated to Xander, so she did not reply to Felix's question.Felix understood her predicament and did not pursue the question, so he changed the topic: [Caterpie, where are you going for the meeting? How about Mel and I wait for you there and pick you up once it's over, so we don't have to wait until tomorrow.]Abigail answered: [It's not on the boss's itinerary today, and he didn't say where we're going. I have no idea how long I'll be busy, so you don't need to wait for me. I'll take a cab back once I'm done.]Felix got angrier as he continued to reply: [The flight from Paridale to Florivera is twelve hours and would wear out even the toughest of folks. He's not even letting you catch a breather after getting off the plane and wants you to continue working. Xander is a real bastard, I tell you.][Enough, Fee. I know what I'm doing.] Abigail did not want to listen to Felix moan about Xander, so she c
Abigail smiled as she said, "You've been busy all your life. When you're free, you should spend time with your family and your grandchildren. It's actually quite nice.""My grandchildren aren't close to me. They don't allow me to carry them when I'm home." Liam then suddenly asked, "When do you guys want to have a child?"Actually, there was nothing wrong with that question. But it could easily mislead people too. Abigail was very worried Xander would overthink. So, she quickly responded, "Liam, my husband and I aren't in a hurry for that."Liam sighed, "Young people nowadays prioritize work and aren't eager for children. Speaking from experience, you'll have a kid sooner or later, why not just have a kid sooner?"Abigail did not want to argue with an elderly person. So, she smiled as she said, "You're right."During their conversation, the car was already traveling on the road that Abigail was familiar with. It was the inevitable route to Xander's house, the Monsoon Villa. She as
Susanna, the executor, had been hoping Xander could bring Abigail, the lady of the house, home as soon as possible.She thought the arrival of Abigail would surely make this icy home warmer and livelier. She also thought it would make Xander no longer lonely.Susanna hoped that with Abigail's company, Xander's heart would be warmed. She hoped this would make Xander forget those bad memories and be able to walk out of the shadow from his early childhood as soon as possible...Since Abigail did not have work to do tonight, she wanted to eat grilled food with Felix and Melody. But she was ashamed to reject Susanna as she was so enthusiastic. So, Abigail said, "Susanna, I eat a lot. I'm afraid the food you cooked isn't enough for me.""I cooked a lot. I'm sure it'll be enough." Susanna enthusiastically pulled Abigail to the kitchen. She said, "Abigail, I'm truly very happy that you're here."Susanna treated Abigail quite well before this. But her over-friendliness today made Abigail c
Abigail honestly did not want to stay at Xander's house at all. Although Xander told her many times to treat his house as her home, she still felt her home was more comfortable than someone else's house. She said, "Susanna, my friends are waiting for me to go back."Xander raised his arm to glance at the time. "Just stay here. Sleep early to get some rest. You're following me to discuss a very important project tomorrow."Since Xander had spoken, Abigail could only stay...After getting washed, she then laid on the bed to text Nathan: [Nathan, I'm back in Florivera.]After she sent the text, she waited for a very long time but still did not receive a reply from him. She suddenly felt unhappy as she thought, 'It seems like I'm always the one who takes the initiative to text him. He rarely took the initiative to text me.'He knew I'm coming back to Florivera today. But he didn't even send me a text to ask me if I'd arrived in Florivera...'Abigail rolled on the bed twice. She wante
This was not the first time Abigail had seen Xander acting like this. He had been like this after Jane visited him on Easter Eve.Abigail thought, 'Did Jane do something to him again?'She rubbed the hand that was almost twisted off by Xander. She turned around and poured a glass of water for him. She then sat down at a distance of about two to three people next to him.Xander remained silent. Abigail did not know what she should say. She just quietly accompanied him. She followed his gaze to look out the huge floor-to-ceiling window together with him.The weather was very good in Florivera today. They could see the crescent moon hanging in the sky from the living room. The light from the moon shined into the house through the window. The moonlight shone on their bodies. It was like a foggy oil painting.Abigail turned her head to look at Xander. She thought, 'This man's face has no bad angle. He looks shockingly handsome from every angle. His high nose bridge, long eyelashes, and
'I'm her legal husband. She doesn't like me and is even afraid of me.'This realization made Xander furious. But he felt more helpless than angry.He thought, 'What can I do to make her have the slightest good feeling for my Xander identity?'Abigail made a crying sound in her heart.The way he was looking at her was terrifying. He seemed like he wanted to devour her. Abigail was so scared that she almost cried. "Mr. Zane, what can I do to make you believe me? If you don't believe me, I can swear upon it. If I have any inappropriate thoughts for you at all, I'll get struck by light..."Before Abigail could finish her oath, Xander coldly interrupted her, "Did I say I don't believe you? Don't make any nonsense oath again."Abigail thought, 'If he believed me, why did he look at me as if he wanted to swallow me? There was a moment just now when he made me think he'd really rip me apart and devour me.'Abigail's fearful gaze toward Xander pierced his heart like needles. It was extre
No one had asked Abigail this question prior to this. So, she did not really think about what made Nathan a good person. She pondered seriously but she still could not come up with his qualities."What's wrong? You can't even say what your husband's qualities are?" Xander lit up a cigarette. But he extinguished it in the ashtray before he even started smoking.At this moment, he was warning himself not to smoke in front of Abigail. He did not want her to have a bad impression of him.Xander's questioning tone made Abigail feel uncomfortable. She answered, "I'm not sure how Nathan behaves outside and how he treats other people. But he gives me a very good feeling that makes me think he probably is a good husband."Xander thought, 'Nathan hadn't done anything for her. When she needed help the most, I even had a lawyer approach her for a divorce. And yet, she still believes in Nathan so much. She so blindly thinks Nathan is good just because Nathan is her lawful husband.' Xander felt
Abigail leaned on the door. She held her breath and listened to the movements outside. She faintly heard Xander's footsteps going upstairs. She thought, 'He probably went up to the third floor and didn't stop at the second floor.'He probably won't give me any trouble, right?'Abigail was not sure. So, she leaned on the door to listen for a while more. She was finally relaxed when she did not hear any unusual movements.She covered her chest and went back to the side of her bed. She immediately grabbed her phone. She thought, 'So long has passed, but Nathan still didn't reply to me.'He's probably busy working. That's why he hasn't had the time to respond.' So, she quickly typed a lot of words: [Nathan, can you not tell Xander everything about us? Why did you even tell him about the misunderstanding between us? And you even told him that I don't remember what you look like?I know you two have a good relationship. You're not wrong for unconditionally trusting your good friend. But
