Xander was unaware of Abigail's fear. All this time, he was afraid that she would not accept him as her husband, that she would not admit he and Nathan were the same person. He never thought about it from her perspective, not realizing she might be even more scared about handling their relationship. Hearing her admit it now, Xander felt very guilty."Abigail, I'm sorry. I didn't consider your point of view. Tell me about your worries, and we'll sort them out together."Abigail said, "Our status and wealth are too different. Many couples with a big difference in wealth end up unhappy, and lots of them get divorced. I don't want that kind of messy marriage, so when I found out you were Nathan, I thought about divorcing you, about backing away. But you gave me strength, made me want to move forward, to give it a try. Even though I know I'll never make more money than you in my lifetime, I still want to earn more, to be a bit closer to you in terms of wealth. I think if I try, maybe I ca

He held her close, buried his nose in her neck, and said, "We're really going to sleep now."Abigail wondered, 'Why does he always know what I'm thinking? Can he guess what's in my head?'Xander gently patted her back. "Sleep tight."'He teases me and then tells me to sleep; how can I sleep now?' she thought.Just as Abigail was lost in her thoughts, Xander's breathing became slow and steady. 'He must have fallen asleep,' she thought. She tried to close her eyes and sleep too, but their sleeping position was a bit uncomfortable. When she tried to move a little, he held her even tighter. It made her wonder if Xander was only pretending to sleep. So she gently poked him on his waist. He did not react, so she confirmed that he was indeed asleep.When she was sure he was asleep, Abigail got a little braver. Since he was holding her so tightly that she could not move away, she leaned a little forward and her nose touched his. This tiny act made her feel really close to him. So, she kep

And just like that, she tried something new. His whole body was solid, but his lips were soft, just like the gummy bears she loved to snack on when she felt sad—squishy, chewy, yummy.As Abigail was enjoying her "gummy bear", Xander slowly opened his eyes. She was so caught up in her joy, she did not notice his watchful gaze. It was only when he gently pulled her into a hug that she heard his calm voice."Abigail, I'm a regular guy, like anyone else."Xander had not been close to a woman in over 20 years— not because he could not or did not want to; he had always lived a clean and honorable life, refusing to play games with love. Now, next to him was his wife, Abigail, who he loved both in his heart and with his actions. Abigail probably did not know that her glances and movements made him want to hug her even more.'He's awake! When did he wake up?' She was so focused on her "gummy bear" joy that she missed it."Time for bed," he said, gently holding her, stopping her from moving

Abigail stared at Xander, who was deeply focused on his book, not noticing her.Perhaps sensing her gaze, Xander finally looked up from his reading. "What's up?"Abigail asked, "What are you reading?" She wondered if he found the book more interesting than her.Xander replied, "The Red and the Black."Abigail asked, "Is it your first time reading it? Are you really into it?" She thought, 'He was so nice to me last night, but this morning he's not. If he likes his book so much, he can spend time with it instead.'Xander responded, "I've read it many times. It always feels fresh."Abigail thought, 'He seems to prefer reading his book again instead of spending time with me. If he's already treating me like this so soon into our marriage, I can only imagine what he'd be like later on.' The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She pouted at him. "Hmph!"Xander could not stop himself from laughing at her cute reaction. He set his book aside and approached her. "What's wrong

Breakfast was quite a feast, full of all the things Abigail loved to eat.At breakfast, Susanna was insistent on serving Abigail. "Abigail, we weren't sure what you felt like eating today, so we made a bit of everything you usually enjoy. Eat what you like and leave the rest."With only two people at the table, a lot of food would go to waste. Abigail did not like this at all. "Susanna, I don't eat much in the morning. You really don't have to go through all this trouble.""Alright, if you say so," Susanna replied.The two grandmothers, Margaret and Cassandra, had already had their breakfast early in the morning. Now, they joined Abigail and Xander at the table. They kept glancing at the young couple. Add in Susanna, and there were three pairs of eyes fixated on Abigail, making her feel awkward."Grandmas, Susanna, it's kind of hard for me to eat with you all watching me like this," Abigail said."Okay, we won't look. Eat at your own pace," they agreed.They pretended not to wat

The issue started at the breakfast table when Abigail received a new message on her WhatsApp from Felix in their group chat.Felix: [Caterpie, Mel and I are going to the supermarket to buy groceries. Mel's boyfriend is coming at 10. Make sure to come early to help us cook. Don't forget to bring your guy.]Every year, regardless of whose birthday it was, the trio would celebrate at a nice restaurant and then find other fun activities. Abigail knew that this year Felix was cooking at home to take a closer look at Xander and see if he was husband material.Abigail: [Okay, we'll head over after breakfast. Just a heads-up: don't make things hard for him.]Felix: [Not even a little bit?]Abigail: [No! Promise me, or I won't bring him.]Felix: [You keep spoiling him and doing everything for him. You're gonna wear yourself out.]Abigail: [He wouldn't let me do that.]Melody: [If Mr. Zane were my man, I'd not only spoil him like Caterpie but I'd also treat him like a king and use him wh

On their way home, Xander was driving, with Abigail in the front passenger seat."Mr. Zane," Abigail started, "Felix invited you to his birthday party today because he wants to evaluate you. If he crosses a line or does something excessive, please don't mind it. I'll keep him in check.""Do you think I'm petty?" Xander asked."No, I was just—"Before Abigail could finish, Xander reached over and took her hand. "When you say things like that, it makes me feel like you all are a family and I'm an outsider.""But they've been my friends for over 20 years, while we've only known each other for a short while," Abigail explained. "We need time to adapt. Soon, you'll be the person I'm closest to."Xander seemed satisfied with her response but did not let her off the hook easily. "I remember someone saying that the length of time doesn't determine the strength of feelings."Abigail knew she had said this, but she did not want to admit it. "Who said that?""Who do you think said it?""

'Oh gosh, this is so annoying!' Xander was always so straightforward; it left her at a loss."What do you mean 'but'?" Xander asked."Don't like me too much, wait for me..." She thought, 'He should wait until I like him back. It's not fair if he's the only one liking me and not getting a response.'Her words were unclear, but Xander understood her. "I'll wait for you, no matter how long it takes."Abigail thought, 'He's using his deep, sultry voice to bewitch me again. No, I can't be swayed by him.' She quickly looked out the car window and opened it a bit, hoping the fresh air would clear her muddled mind.The car continued on, reaching Abigail's apartment complex after about 40 minutes. It was the weekend, so the place was particularly crowded, and the parking lot was full.Abigail looked around, saying, "The underground parking is full today, Mr. Zane. Should we find a spot in the nearby mall?""There are spots on the street. I'll find one," Xander replied."Parking on the s
