Abigail shook her head. "I'm not sad. I'm very touched by all of you who treat me so sincerely."She was usually very tough. But her eyes turned red easily multiple times today. So, Xander was not sure if her eyes really turned red because she was touched. He responded, "Why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while? If you want to read the books in the study, you can come to read them anytime you want without my permission."His voice was still as mellow and strong as usual. But the tenderness in his tone was evident.Abigail thought that if her allergy turned out to be serious, she would cause trouble for everyone. Moreover, she still did not know how to face Xander with her new identity. So, she said, "Okay, I'll go and rest for a while."...The guestroom that Abigail stayed in was the same as the last time she was there. But with a closer look, she noticed there were some extra exquisite decorations.There was the same teddy bear she bought in Valtara last time, a
She wanted to do that. But she still did not know how to face Xander as his wife.Over the past year, she respected Xander's character and his way of handling things, feared his methods of dealing with his opponents, and admired his deep affection for his wife. However, she never had any other thoughts about him.Abigail thought, 'I'd never dreamed that Xander would be the man on my marriage certificate, let alone imagine him becoming my husband...'While she was thinking about that, she could hear the doorknob turning.Abigail thought Xander sneaked into her room. She nervously closed her eyes and held her breath. She pretended to be sleeping.Unexpectedly, it was Susanna.Susanna quietly approached Abigail's bed. She then gently felt Abigail's forehead. After that, she lifted her blanket up and gently pulled on her collar to check on her before silently leaving the room...Abigail gently opened her eyes. With her eyes half closed, she watched Susanna leave.When Susanna was a
Abigail felt that it was an insult to Nathan to compare him with that man. But if she did not explain it clearly, Felix would continue to be worried. So, she had to do that.Abigail continued typing: [Nathan is mature and calm. He knows very well about what he wants and what he doesn't want. I know very clearly what I'm doing and what I want too. Most importantly, Nathan doesn't have those flaws that some wealthy people have. He respects people, he practices clean-living, and he never fools around.]Abigail was stubborn. Once she believed in something, nothing could change her mind. Felix knew that. But he still wanted to try to convince her. He texted: [Caterpie, Xander cheated! You saw that with your own eyes. And yet you're still reluctant to believe it?]Abigail: [I've already asked him about that. He denied it.]Felix: [Unless you caught him in the bed at that time and left him no chance to deny it, you have no proof. Who would admit to having an affair? Do you really believe
Right after Abigail ended the video call, she received a text message on WhatsApp.She immediately clicked it open. It was from Mallory's phone number that she deleted. Mallory: [Abigail, it seems like my mom wants to go after you. I can't stop her. You must be careful.]Abigail thought, 'Her mother wants to go after me, an outsider. And she actually warned me about it...'She suddenly felt Mallory was quite cute sometimes. So, she added back her number to her contact list. She replied: [Why does your mother want to come after me? Just because you want to be friends with me?]Mallory quickly typed a long message: [She doesn't need a reason if she wants to go after someone. Abigail, my phone will be confiscated very soon. You must remember what I'm about to tell you.[Today, I overheard my mom having a phone call with a stranger. I wasn't really paying attention to it until she mentioned your name and said she wanted to force you out of Florivera.[I don't know what methods she'll
Mallory continued: [Mr. Hagrid asked me to act it out together with that man. He even threatened me that if I didn't perform convincingly, he'd let that man have his way with me. So, to save myself, I had to give it my all when I acted.[I thought Mr. Hagrid did this to make Xander's wife see. I didn't expect you to come. I still can't figure out why he did that.]Abigail replied: [You'll understand that soon.]Abigail thought, 'So many things happened that night. He had so much that he could tell me. But when I questioned him, he didn't even give me any reasons.'He just asked me if I was willing to believe him. He told me he trusted me, and he hoped that I could trust him too. Sometimes, his world is that simple. It's so simple that it's somewhat laughable.'Mallory: [Abigail, I didn't want to lie to you when you asked me about it that day. But Mr. Hagrid didn't allow me to tell you. I was afraid that if I told you, he'd do something bad to me.]Abigail: [I understand.]Mallor
That incident in North Florivera at that time was sensational. If Daisy wanted to, she could just send someone to investigate and she would be able to know about that incident regarding Abigail.Now, after several years had passed, there were still many people in North Florivera who disliked Abigail. Many people who did not know the truth still cursed whenever her name was mentioned. They believed that she was a slut who seduced other people's husbands.When Cassandra was sick last time, Abigail returned to North Florivera. When she was in the hospital washroom, she heard people still discussing that incident. If Daisy wanted to find a few people that "witnessed" that incident to come forward and accuse Abigail, she would be able to do that.If that was really the case...Abigail did not want to just sit back and wait. She thought, 'I must figure out a way to stop Daisy...'Abigail immediately called the public relations department head of Zane Corporation. "Ms. Foster, there migh
Abigail was supposed to take care of Xander initially. But in the end, he took care of her instead. She felt very guilty. She continued, "If you don't want to eat the food that the chef cooked, just let me know what you want to eat. I'll cook for you."Xander wanted to eat the food she cooked, but he did not want to wear her out. "It's fine. I asked Gordon to come here and make dinner. You should eat more later."Abigail nodded. "Okay."Susanna was already waiting in the dining area. When she saw Abigail, she immediately pulled a chair out for her. "Abigail, sit down. I'll go and get you a bowl of soup. Drink it.""Susanna, I'll help you to serve the dishes." Aside from the fact that Susanna was an esteemed person in the Zane family who raised Xander, Abigail could not bear to just sit and be served by Susanna due to her old age."Abigail, it's fine. Just sit and eat." To Susanna, this was her job. She wanted to do her job well as she was being paid to do it.If she was not allow
Xander never bought flattery. But the person who buttered him up was Abigail. So, it did not bother him.He even liked it a little when she flattered him.Upon seeing her cute face when she joyfully buttered him up, he had a strange uneasy feeling.This feeling was very intense. He felt as if it wanted to take over all of his thoughts and senses in a very short period of time...He thought, 'Is this strange, uneasy feeling called liking someone?'Xander was not sure. But he did not reject that thought. He even gladly accepted that he liked Abigail.Abigail was his legal wife. Their relationship was protected by the law. So, he felt that it was natural for him to like his own wife.Xander swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His sexy Adam's apple moved up and down. He then gently tapped the rim of his cup as he said, "Focus on eating. Stop complimenting me."His voice was very husky.He did not even expect it."Mr. Zane, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?" Abigail noticed
