Suddenly, Melody chirped, "Look who's coming!"Abigail and Felix followed her gaze, and sure enough, Xander and Malcolm were striding toward them. Malcolm, seeing them from afar, waved enthusiastically in their direction."Ms. Renee," he greeted when he was close enough, "it's been a while, haven't you missed me?""Can I say no?" Abigail retorted, managing a playful grin. Even off the clock, she felt the need to maintain a respectful demeanor toward Xander. "Mr. Zane, are you here to check on the renovations too?""Hmm," Xander responded, his voice hardly above a whisper. He would never tell Abigail that he had engineered this "chance encounter" upon learning she would be here tonight. To make it seem more believable, he had roped in Malcolm.While Xander was usually tight-lipped, Malcolm was quite the chatterbox. "Renovations? That's hardly Xander's forte. The only reason he's here is because his wife took a fancy to these properties, so he bought a few of them. I swear, Xander,

It could have been the result of being conditioned for so long, or perhaps it was Abigail's relentless commitment to her role as an assistant in Xander's presence. Whatever the case, she had always dutifully followed his commands, never contemplating defiance. "Can I even say no to him?"Felix nudged her forehead, frustration radiating off him. "Caterpie, you're his assistant, not his wife. Why can't you say no to dining with him? Call him right now and say you won't go."Melody instantly moved to Abigail's defense. "Caterpie, why wouldn't you go if he's inviting us? We get to dine at Florivera's finest without spending a dime, feasting on the meal we've always desired but never wanted to splurge on. Why would we refuse?"At the mention of money, the penny-pinching Abigail was easily swayed. "Alright, we'll go! But only to an upscale restaurant where the average cost per person hits the thousands."Melody clapped her hands in delight. "Perfect! We get to enjoy the handsome man's co

Cassandra was a teacher for most of her life. And she would normally read books when she was free. So, Elisha put a small desk near the balcony with a rocking chair next to the desk.When Cassandra was free, she could then lie down in the rocking chair to bask in the sun while reading the books she liked.The next room was the study room. Abigail liked to draw and read books. The study room was furnished quite satisfactorily. But its color scheme was especially comforting.The walls on both sides had floor-to-ceiling bookshelves that could hold many books. The windows were in front. There were some plants by the windows too. So, when she was tired from reading, she could see some green plants just by lifting her eyes. It was very consistent with Abigail's idea.Finally, it was the master bedroom and the walk-in closet. They did not have any special designs. But Elisha designed them to be very simple, decent, and comforting, completely just like what Abigail wanted.The apartment w

Nathan replied: [You're my wife. Of course, I should spend the money I earn on you and not on other women.]Many men would say that to their wives. But very few could actually do that without any complaints.Not only did Nathan say it, but he also actually kept his word. He warmed Abigail's heart a lot. She responded: [I'm worried that if you spend all your money on me, you won't have enough money for your business.]Nathan texted: [You don't have to worry about my business. I know what I'm doing. I'll live in this apartment in the future too. You should allow me to contribute something.]Abigail replied: [Your name isn't even on the title deed. Aren't you afraid that I don't recognize what you've contributed?]Nathan responded: [No. I'm just afraid that you won't allow me to live in it.]Abigail texted: [Silly man. You're my husband. Why wouldn't I allow you to live in it? You asked to meet up last time. But I was too busy recently. And you didn't take the initiative to contact

Melody's and Felix's interior designers were recommended by Elisha based on their preferred styles of design. Because of the connection with Nathan, the two designers were very responsible too. They followed the renovation process completely. Melody and Felix were satisfied with the renovations.The three of them were in a better mood because they were satisfied with their apartments' renovation. So, they decided that they should eat courses tonight.Melody said, "Caterpie, do you want to call Mr. Zane and ask him if he's done with his thing? He said he'd treat us to a meal. Please don't forget that."Felix said, "Maybe he's already left."Abigail responded, "I'll call and ask him after we get out of the elevator. If he's left, we just go and find something nice to eat ourselves."They went downstairs by the elevator. When the door was opened, Abigail was walking in front. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got out of the elevator, she bumped into a boy who was about seven or eight year

Abigail thought, 'Seems like my boss's wife's body figure is probably similar to mine.'After she changed, she felt embarrassed to stay even a second longer in her boss's wife's cloakroom. She took her own clothes and went out. Xander was sitting on the couch in the living room waiting for her.Abigail thought, 'His white shirt had gotten quite wet when he took me back here in his arms. But now he's neatly dressed. It seems like he's changed into another white shirt too.'With the thought of the awkward scene that happened just now, Abigail spoke uncomfortably, "M-Mr. Zane, how much is this set of outfits? Just take it as if I bought it. I'll transfer you the money.""Do you think I lack this kind of small amount of money?" Xander glanced at her unhappily as he thought, 'She loves money so much. But she didn't want to take advantage of me at all.' He continued to say, "There's a hairdryer in the washroom. Go and dry your hair."'This is their new apartment. Mrs. Zane hasn't even m

Abigail was so frightened by this misperception that her scalp tingled. She subconsciously denied it, "Who said I like kids?"Xander totally did not mind that Abigail did not like kids. 'I didn't marry her just to have kids,' he thought before saying, "If you don't like kids, then just don't give birth to one."Moreover, Xander did not like kids either.Besides, he was afraid that he would not be able to be a competent father if he were to have a kid. This might make the kid go through a terrible childhood just like him. He did not want his kid to have a lifelong trauma from childhood that his kid could not move on from.Felix who was at the side tutted, "Whether Caterpie wants to give birth to a child, that's the matter between her and her husband. Mr. Zane, you're just her superior at work. You probably don't have the right to decide this kind of personal matter for her."Xander just ignored him. He said to Abigail, "Abigail, come and sit in my car to go to the restaurant. I'll

Judith said, "Although only the back view of Mr. Zane and the woman can be seen in the picture without their faces captured, Mr. Zane's car plate number can be seen very clearly. So, the person who posted it confidently said the couple in the picture was Mr. Zane and his wife. There's a trending hashtag online now, 'hashtag the wife of the CEO of the Zane Corporation whom he protected so well finally appears'. I've sent you the picture on WhatsApp. Take a look at it."Abigail then opened her WhatsApp to see the picture. She thought, 'The tall man who wore a white shirt and black pants in this picture is indeed Xander. But the woman in the picture is me.'This was the scene from when we got into the car together at Lakeside not long ago. How can this possibly be Xander's wife?!'If this were me wearing my usual work outfit getting into the car with him, people who knew or didn't know us surely wouldn't think we were a couple. But today, I changed my outfit and let my hair down. That
