'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
Logically, Xander would still need to attend this birthday party. Even so, Xander had always been doing things according to his desires. For any occasion that he did not want to handle, he would be too lazy to attend them. He then asked, "Do you want to go?"During this type of occasion, although it says birthday party, it was actually a social event for people who were in the business field. Besides work, Abigail would never step foot on such occasions. However, she still missed Mallory, who would always tip her off about the latest news, and she also wanted to see what Daisy wanted to do to her. She said, "But then, I want to broaden my horizons."Xander knew this was not the real reason for Abigail wanting to join in the Guzman family fun. However, he merely stared at her as if he saw through her but chose to keep silent about it. "If you want to go, we'll go."Abigail was not shocked that Xander would accept her suggestion. "Mr. Zane, the guests who would be participating in the
When Abigail was fully prepared, she went downstairs to prepare to drive and meet Xander at the Guzman residence. She did not expect that once she exited the elevator, she would see a black Rolls-Royce Phantom with five 8s for its license plate parked outside the elevator at the underground parking lot. This was Xander's personal vehicle!Xander was standing next to the car. Even though they were at a place such as a parking lot, he still seemed to glow while dressed in a simple white shirt and black suit pants. Thankfully, it was currently not rush hour yet, and not many people were at the underground parking. If not, his high-profile look would have attracted a crowd to gather around him.Abigail subconsciously quickened her pace to walk to him. "Mr. Zane, why are you here?"The house they rented was in an old neighborhood that was a few decades old. Not only are the houses here run down, but the underground parking was also unlike other new neighborhoods', which were waxed, clean
