After Abigail retorted to her, Dr. Sander was a lot more clear-headed. "Abigail, I didn't mean to blame you. I was just worried that if Xander continues to torture himself like this, his stomach problem might worsen. Please try your best to convince him in the future."Dr. Sander talked nicely and properly. So, Abigail was willing to listen to her. Moreover, she blamed herself a little too. She felt that Xander indeed ate so much food that he usually would not eat because she did not properly convince him not to. She responded, "I'll pay attention to that from now on."Dr. Sander replied, "Thank you!"After they both kept quiet for a while, Abigail spoke again, "Actually, I have an idea to make Mr. Zane obediently not eat carelessly."Dr. Sander asked, "How?"Abigail answered, "Ask Mrs. Zane to convince him. He cares so much about her. He'll surely listen to what she says."Dr. Sander thought, 'You're Mrs. Zane!'She then responded, "You should knock some sense into him then."

The first message was a picture.It was the jacket she bought for Nathan today.Abigail: [Nathan, I bought a jacket for you in Berrybrook today. It matches the jacket I'm wearing. Do you like it?]Xander smiled as he typed: [I like it.]Abigail: [Should I deliver it to your home or give it to you personally when we meet?]Xander pondered before replying: [I'll wait for you to give it to me personally.]Abigail: [Okay.]After a while, Abigail texted again: [Nathan...]Xander: [Yes?]Abigail: [Have you confirmed when you will be back in Florivera? My two best friends want to meet you. And I'm going to visit our grandmothers tomorrow. They'll surely ask about us again. Can I tell them that we haven't met yet?]Abigail expressed herself very politely. But Xander understood that she wanted to see him. He texted back: [Don't worry. I'll surely be back before our second wedding anniversary.]Abigail: [It's a deal then. Don't back out. Whoever backs out is a chicken.]Xander: [Okay

"I'm an emotionless machine?" Xander smiled. He then stretched his hand to take the cigarette Ron offered him. He lit it up and smoked two puffs.He had not smoked for such a long time. He was a little not used to the smoke irritating his throat when he smoked now. He said, "Are you the only one who sees me this way, or the few of you see me this way too?""It's not just us who see you this way. Everyone in the world who knows the name Xander Zane sees you this way." Ron raised his head to look at the sky.There were many tall buildings in this city. He could not see the starry sky. He could only see the light from the streetlamps above him. "Xander, you were sixteen years old that year. Or how old were you? Anyway, you were under eighteen.""Age has nothing to do with whether a person is ruthless or not." Xander knew what Ron wanted to say. It had been many years since that incident. And no one dared to mention it in front of him all these years. They only dared to discuss it behi

Xander said, "Two years ago after I registered my marriage with Abigail, I shouldn't have abandoned her and ignored her. If I were given another chance, I surely wouldn't allow her to suffer such a grievance."Ron was extremely speechless. "What kind of regret is this? If you say you regret not sleeping with her immediately, even that's more convincing than what you just said. By the way, you'll be twenty-nine by the end of this year. I'm very curious if you ever had any intimate experiences."No matter how Ron mocked him, or mentioned that disgusting man in front of him, Xander could still tolerate it. The only thing that he could not tolerate was Ron making this kind of cheap joke about Abigail.His eyes were gloomy instantly. They were filled with killing intent. "Ron, my Abigail isn't someone you can insult.""I'm sorry. I said the wrong thing," Ron apologized. But his facial expression did not show the attitude of someone who genuinely apologized. "You do know how to protect s

"Sure, Abigail and I are good friends. We hang out when we can." Mallory let out a breath of relief. 'Just as I thought, as soon as Abigail comes into the conversation, Xander gets a bit chattier.'Xander adjusted the silver-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, his gaze still fixed on Mallory's eyes. At first glance, they bore some resemblance to Abigail's, but upon closer inspection, they were completely different. Abigail's eyes were more than just attractive; their clarity and brightness, like a brilliant galaxy contained within, made them utterly captivating.Mallory, misinterpreting Xander's gaze as disbelief in her claim, flustered, then pulled out her phone. "If you don't believe that Abigail and I are friends, I can call her right now so you can talk to her."Xander averted his eyes. "At this hour, she'd be asleep. Don't bother her."Mallory exhaled in relief and obediently responded, "Okay, I'll heed your advice. I won't disturb Abigail." Xander opened the car door, prepari

"Heh..." A chuckle escaped her, but it soon transformed into silent tears that welled up and spilled over.Upon seeing this, Liam could not help but voice his concern, "Ms. Guzman, are you alright?"Wiping away her tears, Mallory shook her head. "I'm fine. Just got some sand in my eyes from the wind."She did not want to elaborate, and Liam did not push. It was one of the basic professional courtesies of a driver.Just as Liam's car pulled away, a red sports car roared toward Xander. In the dead of night, the engine's rumble thundered like a threat to perforate one's eardrums. The car seemed to barrel straight toward him, yet Xander did not flinch, neither his towering figure nor his eyes moved. With a screeching halt, the car stopped mere inches away from him. Ron rolled down the window."Xander, not even scared, are you?"Xander scoffed coldly, "The one capable of scaring me hasn't been born yet. You said you were leaving; why are you still here?" Intimidation had never worked

Abigail lived in an area where the buildings were weathered and old, remnants of the bygone days, but it was undeniably smack-dab in the city center. From this area to the Guzman residence, the distance was quite manageable. With fewer cars in the late hours, one could make the trip in less than half an hour.Once the car came to a smooth stop in front of the Guzman residence, Mallory hesitated to exit. Liam waited for a moment before saying, "Ms. Guzman, we've arrived."Mallory turned her doe-like eyes to him. "Liam, could you please make a U-turn up ahead before I step out?""Sure." Liam drove a few yards further, made the turn at the intersection, and brought the car back to the Guzman residence. "Ms. Guzman, I need to go pick up Xander," he said, his tone gentle, not overtly asking her to hurry up and leave, but the message was clear.Mallory bit her lip and took a deep breath of the crisp air. "Liam, could you please roll down the rear window and wait for a minute after I get

He yanked her forward, into the brightest pool of light within the room, scrutinizing the marks on her neck with a hawk-like intensity. They looked somewhat like a lover's kiss, and yet akin to a bite. "Did Xander do this?"The ploy had worked, and Mallory heaved a sigh of relief. Feigning shyness, she hurriedly tugged at her collar to cover the marks. "Ah, this-this, I-I-I—"Impatient, Max cut her off, "What's with the act of innocence? I'm asking if Xander made these marks."Nodding, Mallory replied, "You once told me, nobody but him could touch me. I didn't dare forget."Her compliance put Max in high spirits. "How far have you two progressed? Has he taken you yet?""No..." Mallory stammered, biting her lip shyly. "He almost did... I was so scared, I struggled, and then he stopped."Max's face turned instantly cold, and he roughly grabbed her hair. "Are you useless? You're scared of that? Look at yourself! He desires you, and you dare reject him?"With her hair pulled taut, M
