Melody made a silly face at Felix as she said, "Hmm, you're just jealous that I can kiss Stinky Caterpie, and you can't."Felix rolled his eyes. "You've said she's Stinky Caterpie. So, she must be stinky. Who wants to kiss her?"Abigail joined the argument. "Do you think you're sweet?"Melody said, "Stinky Caterpie smells so good. Fee, you're the one who's stinky. You filthy man."When Abigail heard the words "filthy man", she could not help but remember the entanglement between Xander and Mallory.She pondered before asking, "Fee, I'm about to ask you a question about men. You must answer me honestly without withholding."Felix and Melody immediately changed their happy expression to look serious when they saw Abigail's solemn face.Felix said, "Go ahead and ask."Melody got closer to them. Melody and Abigail just stared at Felix.Felix felt uncomfortable being stared at by them. He instinctively moved back. "Just ask. Don't use this kind of terrifying gaze to look at me. I'm
Melody breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness it wasn't Mr. Zane. If he messed around, I'd be very sad."Abigail questioned, "Why would you be sad?"Melody answered, "Ever since I met Mr. Zane, whenever I read novels with dominant male characters, I'll automatically imagine the male lead with his attractive, good-looking face. If he cheated, I'd never be able to read novels in the future."Abigail was speechless.Melody was naïve and could be easily fooled. But Felix could not be easily deceived.He made unkind comments, "Those wealthy people like to mess around so much that you and I can't imagine. You two don't expect those people to be virtuous. Don't think that they won't touch anyone other than their wives."Abigail asked, "Do you think the same way too?"Felix replied, "I'm not rich."Melody said, "Who says only wealthy men mess around? If you look at the news online, the number of poor men and ugly men who cheated is a lot higher than wealthy men and handsome men."
Felix felt hurt and softly said, "You don't even remember what he looks like. Why is he more important to you than me in your heart?"Abigail explained, "Both of you are equally important to me. I also wouldn't allow Nathan to speak ill of either of you in front of me. Besides, I've already told him long ago that you both are very important to me."Felix and Melody were extremely pleased to hear these words. "You mentioned us to Nathan?"Abigail said, "You two are my childhood friends, my best friends, and the two most important people in my life. How could I not mention you to him?"Felix was very satisfied with Abigail's attitude. "I'm not going to speak ill of Nathan this time. In fact, I think he should be the one to grow old with you."Abigail was curious. "Why did you suddenly change your opinion of him?"Felix said, "Of course it's because of you."Felix and Melody grew up with Abigail. So, they understood her better than anyone else. Abigail had always felt insecure due
Melody said, "He's not in Florivera right now. It might be troublesome for him to get a new SIM card. It's really frustrating."Abigail said, "It's good enough as long as he's fine. He can buy a new phone since he lost it. You guys don't have to worry."Felix added, "The moving boxes I bought online have arrived. After eating, I'll go to the courier station to pick up the boxes. Let's take advantage of these few days when we're relatively free, start packing some things, and move them to the new apartments.""Sure." Abigail had the same plan in mind. As they continued their moving process, their belongings gradually diminished. It was great to move in effortlessly with just a backpack once the new apartments were ready for occupancy.Melody said, "I mentioned you two to my boyfriend today. He's free this weekend and wants to treat you two to dinner. I want you to assess him thoroughly."Abigail commented, "That guy seems quite conscientious."Felix muttered, "One who offers unsol
Melody kept talking while tidying up, "Our new apartments have a separate study with a spacious bookshelf, so we won't have to worry about running out of space for books anymore in the future."Abigail said, "Yeah, once we move into the new apartments, we can buy books freely. We can buy a lot of them."Felix said, "I saw someone selling an out-of-print book online a few days ago. It made me so envious. Do you guys know how much that person was asking for?"Abigail and Melody asked, "How much?"Felix raised a hand. "This amount!"Abigail and Melody guessed, "50 thousand dollars?"Felix held his chest and said, "500 thousand dollars!"Melody said, "Why doesn't he just rob it? Good books should be shared with people who truly appreciate them. Isn't it a waste to keep them in the hands of someone who doesn't value them?""500 thousand dollars? Oh my! That study must be even more valuable than what I've seen." Abigail repeated the amount, and her mind thought about the study in the
Abigail said, "I really never thought about having sex with him."Suddenly, Abigail began to understand Mallory's actions. 'Even knowing that there would be no future with that man, yet still rushing toward him like a moth to a flame, all because of the mesmerizing charm he possessed. It's hard to turn back once someone is under a spell.'While they were talking, the personal phone that Abigail had placed aside buzzed twice. Abigail immediately turned around, picked up her phone, and checked on her WhatsApp. To her delight, it was a message from Nathan this time.[Abigail.] Nathan only texted one word.Abigail instantly typed a long string of words and replied to him: [Did you get a new phone? Did you get your SIM card back? You know what? I thought something happened to you when you didn't reply to my messages yesterday. I was worried and restless all day. Leave me the contact information for one of your colleagues, or do you have an alternative number? So that I can contact you n
These words made Abigail feel depressed. She asked: [What are you worried about?]After sending the message, Nathan took some time before replying: [I'm worried that my appearance and identity will disappoint you. I'm afraid I may not be the husband you envision, and you may not want me.]The words "you may not want me" struck Abigail's heart like a poisoned arrow, causing her momentary breathlessness and intense pain.'People often say that a happy childhood can heal a lifetime, while an unfortunate childhood takes a lifetime to heal. This statement truly applies to both Nathan and me.'Felix and Melody noticed Abigail's unpleasant expression and approached her. "Caterpie, what's wrong?"Abigail shook her head. "Nothing."Felix asked cautiously, "Is something happening with Nathan?""I'm fine, really. We were just discussing our meeting," said Abigail.Abigail took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions. Then, she replied to Nathan: [Nathan, I'm your wife. No matter what you
'Xander started chatting with Abigail just after being out of danger. Abigail was indeed not his remedy but a poisonous substance that could take his life!'As Dr. Sander complained in her heart, Xander asked casually, "You seem dissatisfied with Abigail?"Dr. Sander was startled. 'Does he have mind-reading abilities?'She smiled awkwardly. "Abigail is such a nice kid. How could I be dissatisfied with her?"Xander stared at his phone without even looking at her and asked softly, "Did Abigail call me while I was unconscious?"Dr. Sander knew she could not hide it and also dared not to. "She called for Xander, not for Nathan. I answered the call on your behalf."Xander asked, "What did you say to her?"Dr. Sander said, "I followed your instructions and didn't dare to tell her about your condition. I just said that you weren't able to take her calls.""Abigail is my wife!" Xander said this and remained silent.Dr. Sander could not fathom his thoughts. The more she thought about i
