"Netting All the Handsome Men in the World" was the most enthusiastic user: [What did he say?]"Heartless" answered: [He apologized to me and said he was going to have lunch with his wife. He used only one sentence to tell me that he was married. He also made me abandon the idea of continuing to try to win him over with that same sentence.]The online users eagerly asked: [What happened after that?]"Heartless" replied: [I was unconvinced. So, I had someone secretly follow him. I wanted to see who his wife was. But in the afternoon, he didn't even meet any woman other than his assistant. I thought he was just using marriage as an excuse to reject me. So, I went to find his assistant. His assistant directly told me that Mr. Zane was married and that he loved his wife very much. He's wealthy, handsome, and loyal to his wife. Good men like him are almost extinct, aren't they?]All the online users were extremely jealous.One of them commented: [Why can't such good things happen to us
An online user named "BoomMind Pro" chimed in: [It's not your imagination. The first thing I noticed in this photo too was exactly that.] She continued her analysis: [Have you noticed Mr. Zane's posture in the photo? It's protective, sheltering the woman before him. In our field of psychology, this posture suggests two possibilities: one, he's protecting the person he wants to shield from harm; two, it's a sign of possessiveness, not allowing other males to approach his woman.]Both interpretations struck a chord with the fangirls online, and the internet erupted once again.Some squealed: [Oh my God! Mr. Zane is head over heels for his wife!]Others were utterly smitten: [What do I do? I'm drowning in Mr. Zane's affection for his wife. Nothing's more compelling than a real couple.]Heartless: [Had I met Xander first, I might've been the woman basking in his tenderness today. Alas, the world doesn't deal in 'ifs'. All I can do is watch him share tender moments with another woman.]
"I'm not," Xander said."Alright, alright, you're not. How's your schedule? Not too packed, right? Let's all get together and unwind a bit," Lucas offered.Xander nodded. "Sounds good."After dinner, as Abigail and Melody were about to ride home with Felix, Xander held her back. "I'll drive you home. There's something I need to discuss with you."Something felt off about Xander tonight, like a shadow that would not leave her side. "Mr. Zane, if you have something to say, you can say it here. There's no need to go out of your way to drive me home," Abigail reasoned, not wanting to inconvenience him as their homes were in opposite directions from their current location."Get in my car," Xander instructed, pulling the car door open with an assertive and almost domineering air.Sensing that Xander wanted to continue his charade to protect the identity of his mysterious wife, Abigail decided to play along. The drive was silent, neither of them knowing what to say until they arrived at
Each word in the lengthy message was a testament to Abigail's current worry and unease, and it brought Xander to a stark realization: his arrangement for tonight had been a complete misstep. His original intention was to use that photograph to announce to the world his marital status, to pave the way for revealing Abigail's identity in the future, and perhaps even to flush out potential threats lurking in the shadows. His intentions were good, yet he had utterly disregarded the feelings of the involved party. Regardless of how talented Abigail was at her job, she was, after all, only a young woman in her early twenties. The idea of her fear when she thought her boss was pushing her into the front lines of public opinion, taking hits for someone else, was something Xander could not even bear to contemplate.With that, he swiftly texted her under the guise of Nathan: [Abigail, you're my wife. I trust you entirely. Never doubted you for a second today, and I hope you trust me too. Xander
Nathan: [Alright, no apologies. Let's talk about something else.]Abigail did not know what to discuss: [What do you want to talk about?]Nathan: [Actually, the main reason I texted you tonight is to ask if you're satisfied with the renovation of the apartment. When are you planning to move? Tell me in advance and I'll arrange for the movers.]He just asked about the renovation, nothing sweet or honeyed, but it touched Abigail's heart, even influencing her tear ducts. The tears she had held back for so long slipped from her eyes like pearls, one after the other. Choking up, Abigail sobbed, "Nathan, can you come back to Florivera sooner? I-I want to see you. I really, really want to see you."Regrettably, Nathan could not hear her.Abigail allowed herself to cry. After her tears subsided, she wiped her eyes and replied: [The contractor, Elisha you recommended, is professional and responsible. I'm very satisfied with the apartment he renovated for me. The apartment needs to air out
Max's expression darkened, his heart simmering with indignation at the middle-aged man's words. Yet, his tone remained respectfully reserved. "Mr. Zane, what are you implying?"The man on the other end retorted, "No one has captured that lad's photo for years, and now someone boldly posts it online, with Zane Corporation's PR Department even stepping up to confirm that the pair in the photo are their couple. Don't you find this curious?""Could it be that he arranged for the picture to be taken and then disseminated?" Max realized he had fallen into a trap. He immediately whipped out another phone and shot off a message: [Stop the search for the photographer immediately.]The voice on the other end continued, "In the future, refrain from calling me impulsively. Whatever the situation, think it through multiple times in your head first."Max could only manage an, "Understood."The man offered no further words, abruptly hanging up, showing none of the respect due to Max as the CEO o
It was 10:00 p.m. in Florivera. So, it was still in the afternoon in Sanorsia. It was sunny today. Jane was lying down in a rocking chair basking in the spring sunshine.Forest hurriedly went to her. He handed Jane a tablet as he said, "Madam, have a look."Jane did not even open her eyes when she responded, "I know."Forest was stunned for a moment before he asked, "Is Young Master going to publicly reveal Abigail's identity?"Jane scorned, "So many people are watching him. There are so many dangers hidden around him. He knows all that better than anyone else. He'll never reveal that woman's identity before he removes all those dangers completely. Unless he wants this woman to die."Forest did not think Xander would protect Abigail. He said, "He's so cold-blooded. Why would he care about a woman he married through an arranged marriage?"Jane responded, "You don't think he cares about that woman?"Forest reasoned, "I think the only reason he doesn't allow you to mess with that w
"Okay. I understand." Luna turned her head to glance too. She then grabbed Abigail's hand and said, "It's just that everyone is very curious about who Mrs. Zane is. Because she actually has such a strong influence on Mr. Zane. Abigail, you've been working alongside Mr. Zane for such a long time. Have you seen Mrs. Zane?"Abigail did not want to answer that question. She raised her hand to look at her watch and said, "Mr. Zane will probably be here soon. I'll go and make coffee for him now.""Okay. Go ahead and do your work." Luna then went back to the secretary office. Anne Shaw, who was the nearest to Luna, immediately approached her. "So, did you find out any news about Mrs. Zane?"Luna answered, "Mr. Zane doesn't want to show his wife to the public. We'll surely not be able to see her. Everyone should stop finding out about it. It's better to just focus on our job."Anne did not want to give up just yet. "Ms. Renee doesn't know anything about her too?"Luna moved slightly to su
