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
Abigail muttered under her breath, "Luckily, my husband, Nathan, isn't like this. He'll directly tell me if there's something up. Do you always make your wife guess around when you're together?"Xander was speechless. 'What can I say? Tell you that I'm jealous of you praising Nathan?'Xander kept ignoring Abigail, so she slowed down her pace and sluggishly trailed behind him.During this season, the flowers in the garden blossomed in a stunning array of colors. The blooming flowers swayed gently in the evening breeze, and their fragrance permeated the air, which touched one's heart. The peonies beside were in full bloom. Among them, one peony flower in shades of pink and white caught the most attention. Abigail leaned closer to smell it, but the fragrance was not strong.Abigail did not catch up to Xander, so he subconsciously slowed down and kept a close eye on her every move. He saw her crouching down to smell the flowers, sneezing when she sniffed the pollen. However, she contin
Abigail buried her head in Xander's shoulder, not daring to lift it. "Mr. Zane, please take me away from here."Without a doubt, snakes were the creatures that Abigail feared the most. When she was a child, she would have nightmares for days after seeing this creature. Abigail could not even consider how inappropriate her actions were as she was overly afraid. She just clung tightly to Xander. She would not set foot on the ground until she was far away from this terrifying place.Abigail was unwilling to get down, so Xander held her even tighter. He cherished her reliance on him so much. He gently lifted her hips with his hand, allowing her to hang onto him better. "Hold on tight. Don't fall. I'll take you away now."Xander carried Abigail for at least several tens of meters before Abigail finally mustered the courage to raise her head and glance back at the flowers. She breathed a sigh of relief when she did not see the terrifying creature anymore.Only then did Abigail realize he
'Is it too late for me to switch careers and learn culinary arts now?'However, Xander gave Abigail a casual response, "The money people earn is meant to be spent. I earn so much money. If I don't spend it myself, should I leave it for other men to spend after I die?"Abigail was speechless. 'This man is really petty! He holds grudges like that.'Seeing that it was getting late, Abigail said, "Mr. Zane, would you like to rest now? You're not in good health now. It's not suitable for you to engage in excessive exercise. You should rest well."Xander slightly lowered his head. His gaze that was filled with intense and mixed feelings fell on Abigail. Suddenly, he asked, "Abigail, do you like children?"Abigail was at a loss for words. 'Could it be that he wants to have children with me just because I hugged him? I do like children, but I don't want to have them at such a young age.'Seeing her hesitation, Xander guessed that she probably did not like children. "It's okay if you don'
'Xander has such a strong presence that he can make anyone feel fear wherever he goes. He possesses such power that no one dares to lie in front of him, regardless of whom he's looking at. How does such a powerful man manage to make others feel distressed with just a single WhatsApp message?'The reason may not lie with Xander, but me. I always tend to be soft-hearted, especially when faced with Nathan's identity.'Abigail did not want to hurt him at all. She texted back: [Nathan, I'm sorry! The divorce was a nonsensical statement that I blurted out in the heat of the moment. I take it back. Just pretend I never said it.]However, Nathan insisted on getting the answer he wanted. He asked again: [Do you still want me?]Abigail typed out a few words quickly: [Yes! I only want you in this lifetime. I don't want anyone else but you!]After sending the message, Abigail buried herself in the blanket, touching her flushed face. 'If nothing unexpected happens, my face must be blushing in
