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.

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

When Abigail grew up, her grandmother said to her, "Each of us is an independent individual, and everyone has the right to choose their way of life. A woman shouldn't be restricted by marriage and children. They have the right to escape from a life they don't like. Your mom chose a different way of life between you and another lifestyle."Because of this, Abigail never blamed her mother. She thought, 'If we meet amidst the crowd one day, I could call her mom with a smile, as long as she's willing.'When Xander arrived shortly afterward, he saw Abigail's eyes slightly reddened under the moonlight, and his heart ached. "Abigail, I'm truly sorry for my inappropriate behavior just now. However, please believe me. I didn't mean to offend you."'I've endured for such a long time. Why couldn't I hold back at this moment?' At that moment, the only thought in Xander's mind was that he wanted to hold her hand.Abigail looked back and saw Xander standing under the light. The light cascaded ov

The casually taken photo looked as good as if a professional photographer had taken it. It was not that the camera was exceptional or that the photographer had good skills. It was simply because the two people in the photo were incredibly good-looking. They shone individually when alone, but it was twice as good when they were together.Susanna immediately sent the photo to Margaret. "Old Madam, look how good-looking Xander and Abigail are. They just finished dinner and are having a walk in the garden together."After such a long time, Margaret still had not seen the young couple together with her own eyes. That was why she requested Susanna to capture photos of them together whenever the opportunity arose. Margaret could not sit still anymore when she saw that photo. She immediately sent a video call invitation to Susanna. "Susanna, point the camera at the two of them. Let me have a good look at them."Susanna shook her head and said, "Old Madam, I can't do that. Xander and Abigail

'Time flies! In the blink of an eye, they've been married for two years.'Margaret had no time to lament the passage of time. She was solely focused on the matters of the young couple. "How did you determine that Xander is going to bring Abigail back home?"Susanna said, "Xander had me throw away many of the dull decorations in the master bedroom and replaced them with cute and cozy trinkets. Not only that, he had me replace the bed in his room that he had been sleeping on for years. It was all prepared according to Abigail's preferences. What is he up to if he's not planning to bring Abigail back home?"Upon hearing this, Margaret thought it made sense and could not help but feel overjoyed. 'Seems I'll be able to have a great-grandchild soon.'"Well, you keep an eye on the two of them. Make sure you tell me immediately if there are any updates," said Margaret.Susanna said, "Okay."Margaret continued, "Move forward a bit. I can't see both of them anymore."Susanna exclaimed, "O

When it came to pretending, Abigail was also quite good at it. Before Xander could make a statement, Margaret, who was on the other end of the video, hurriedly waved her hand. "It's okay. I made a video call mainly to see you. What's so interesting about strangers?"'Obviously, he's your grandson, but you're pretending he's a stranger now.' Margaret almost amused Abigail.Abigail asked deliberately, "Grandma, my boss is Xander, the CEO of the Zane Corporation. He's also good friends with Nathan. You should know him, right?""Haha." Margaret awkwardly laughed a few times. "I know him. How can I not know the CEO of the Zane Corporation?"Xander spoke in a low and deep voice, "Grandma, it's me, Xander."Abigail switched the camera to face Xander. Margaret pretended to examine the man in the frame closely, "Oh! It's Xander. What have you been busy with lately? You didn't come to visit me."Xander remained as calm as ever, "When will Abigail visit you next time? We'll visit you togeth

Emma turned and dashed into the bathroom. She cranked the faucet on and splashed water on her face, aiming to soothe her nerves.Although they were engaged, they were still too young, with countless uncertainties looming over their future. The possibility of actually walking down the aisle was up in the air.Decisions made in a rush of happiness could eventually become sources of regret. And Emma knew all too well that she couldn't afford any regrets.She thought that fortunately, Ron hadn't pushed things further, which gave her time to cool off.After freshening up, Emma stepped out to find Ron on the balcony, a cigarette in hand.She couldn't resist chiding him, "I've told you to cut down on smoking. Why can't you seem to remember?"This time, Ron complied, snuffing out the cigarette. "We should get some sleep. We've got to put our best foot forward when we meet your family tomorrow.""Okay, I'll sleep on the couch. You take the bed," Emma responded.Ron simply replied, "As y

Ron looked at her dawdling pace with disdain. "If you, a lady, can handle it, why can't I, a grown man, stay?"His words sounded noble, but Ron regretted them the moment they arrived at the hotel.Despite now earning a decent income, Emma was still reluctant to spend money.This place was hardly a hotel; it was clearly a budget inn charging only a few dozen bucks a night. The hygiene was questionable at best, and safety seemed like a gamble.Ron turned on his heel, dragging her suitcase behind him. "We're leaving, now.""It's too late, and we can't get a refund for the room.""Are you trying to get us killed?"Emma fell silent, her thoughts a whirlwind of frustration. 'I told him he wouldn't be used to cheap places. He insisted on coming with me, and now he won't even let me stay here alone. Why is he so annoying?'However, considering Ron had rushed over in the middle of the night to help her, Emma decided not to hold it against him.Ron picked the best hotel in the area—the

Rebekah glanced over at Ron; she exchanged a knowing look with him before saying, "I'll have someone tidy up the rooms. Why don't you two stay here tonight and keep me company?"Ron replied simply, "Sure."Emma had purchased a midnight flight back to South Florivera, necessitating a rush to the airport, which made staying over after dinner impossible.Yet, she found herself at a loss for words, struggling to decline Rebekah's kind offer.As she hesitated, Ron stepped in to clear the air. "Mom, I've got something on tonight. After dinner, I'll drive Emma back to her dorm."Rebekah raised an eyebrow. "What's so important?" she wondered aloud, thinking, 'Wasn't he the one insisting Emma stay over? What's he up to now?'Ron kept it mysterious. "Life stuff."Rebekah could not help but chide him lightly, "You, always the joker."Right after dinner, Ron insisted on leaving to take Emma back to her dormitory. But as soon as they were out of the gated community, he asked, "So, you reall

Ron chuckled. "I didn't know you were aware that even a cornered rat will fight."Emma shot him a glare. "Are we going or not?"Ron quickly said, "Of course. When Miss Blue commands, how can I dare not obey?"Fearing another of his notorious driving escapades, Emma hastily buckled her seatbelt as she settled into the car.Thankfully, this time Ron kept it smooth, driving steadily.As they neared their destination, Ron finally spoke up, "You know, that Tucker guy is a married man. Don't let his kindness fool you into being the other woman."Emma's gaze on Ron was fiery, seething with anger. "Do you even hear yourself? Is that what you think of me? For the last time: Tucker and I share nothing more than a mentor-mentee relationship. There's nothing else between us.""I'm just looking out for you, worried you might get deceived," Ron said, witnessing Emma's fury for the first time. Yet, he could not help but find her anger not at all intimidating, but rather endearingly foolish.R

The two sisters had a pact: no cell phones at home to keep their secrets from the prying eyes of the Blue family. Thus, Emma could call only at prearranged times, the sole window for Rihanna to catch up.Rihanna's voice bubbled with excitement over the phone, as she chattered away about her life's minutiae.Knowing Rihanna was doing well eased Emma's mind.Just as Emma was about to end the call, she heard Rihanna's voice, soft and wistful. "You're really not coming home for the holidays? If you don't, I'll be all alone."Emma's heart clenched at those words, and she made up her mind in an instant. "I'll come back the day before New Year's Eve."The Blue family had their hands full with festivities that day, too busy to notice Rihanna's absence. Emma figured slipping back unnoticed then would be her best shot.After hanging up, Emma immediately booked a flight from Valtara to South Florivera. With her ticket secured and her last bit of work finished, Emma prepared to leave her off

Emma had no interest in romance, let alone the audacity to dream that Ron might fancy her.This time, she did not pick up the thread of conversation.After dinner, Ron, as usual, drove Emma back to the university.Before parting, Ron said, "Winter break is almost upon us, and the dorms might be off-limits. Are you sure you don't want to stay at my place for a couple of months?"Emma offered a smile in response. "Thanks for the offer. I've spoken with the dorm supervisor and submitted an application in advance. I'll be able to stay over the holiday period."Ron paused before saying, "Well, if you need anything, just let me know. I'll text you my number in a bit; make sure you save it."Emma nodded. "Sure."Without further ado, Ron drove off.Upon returning to her dorm, Emma saw Evelyn and Cassie, busy packing their bags, surrounded by gifts for their parents bought from Valtara.Evelyn asked Emma, "Are you really not going home for the winter break?"Emma replied, "No, I won't

Emma did not have the guts to risk failure because she did not have a safe haven to fall back on.Lucas kicked Ron in the shin. "Come on, if you fancy her, out with it. No Hagrid heir dithers like this."Ron glared at him. "Mind your own business." In his head, Emma was already his. The thought of losing her was unimaginable.Lucas said, "Without my meddling, she'd never be yours."Ron changed the subject. "I called you here for a serious discussion."Lucas replied, "No matter how serious, it can't outweigh the matter of your lifetime happiness."Ron was exasperated. "Lucas!"Lucas relented. "Alright, alright, you talk, I'm all ears."Ron spelled out Emma's music venture with Tucker. After hearing it all, Lucas could not help but see Emma in a new light."Never pegged Emma as such a dark horse," Lucas said.Silently listening to their conversation, Emma was thrilled to have her work recognized.Lucas said, "But, getting back to it, whether a song makes money, and how much, d

Ron barked, "Lucas!"With a chuckle, Lucas responded, "Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing Emma. I'm starving. Let's grab some food and talk business while we eat."Ron snapped, "Get lost!"Lucas could not help but revel in Ron's frustration. "Ron, have you fallen so quickly? Who was it that told me they would never accept an arranged marriage?"Emma was increasingly confused by their banter. "If it's inconvenient for me to be here, I can just take a cab and leave."Ron said, "Call you dumb and you won't admit it!"Emma thought to herself, 'I didn't want to be a third wheel, cramping their style. Was that really so wrong? No good deed goes unpunished, apparently.'Suddenly, Ron grabbed Emma's hand and led her inside. "It's cold out; let's go inside."Emma had to quicken her pace, practically being dragged along.Seeing them together, Lucas laughed heartily from behind. "Ron, oh Ron, never thought I'd see the day.""Don't laugh too soon. Your day is coming," Ron shot back.Th

Emma said, "Okay."Ron asked, "Have you won over your crush?"Lucas responded, "Secret."Ron replied, "Looks like you haven't won her over."Lucas said, "As long as I make a move, there's no girl I can't win over. But I haven't made a move yet because the timing isn't right."Ron asked, "Is it because of the Sandow family?"Lucas answered, "The Sandow family wants to marry their daughter to me, and my family wants me to marry her too. But I've told them long ago that I'm not willing to do that. Nobody can make me marry a girl I don't like."Emma remained silent. 'I didn't expect that Lucas would also have the same problem as me and Ron.'It seems like the wealthier the family, the more they'll arrange marriages based on social status without considering personal preferences.'Lucas seemed to sense Emma's thoughts. "Emma, my situation with the Sandow girl is different from yours and Ron's. Don't lump us together."Ron looked at Emma and suddenly said, "There isn't any other gi
