Felix responded, "You're the guest. Just go to the living room, have some fruits and snacks, and watch TV for a while. I don't need your help."Tywin said, "Well, after I marry Mel, I'll consider you as my brother-in-law. You don't have to be overly polite with me."Felix replied, "I'm not being overly polite with you. There are only five of us for the meal. And we've already prepared everything we need. The appetizers are ready to be served. The soup in the pot is almost ready too. I just need to stir-fry some vegetables. The vegetables are already prepped as well. Just make sure next time you come on time. Don't be late again."Tywin smiled as he said, "Sure, sure. I'll be on time next time.""Since he doesn't want your help, come to the living room and watch some TV with me." Melody came to the kitchen and pulled Tywin to the living room. She then pressed him down on the sofa. "Just stay here with me. Eat some snacks and watch TV."Tywin looked around. He stared at the room wit
Melody guessed, 'Xander probably didn't perform at the crucial moment and was bitten by Caterpie.'Caterpie is usually gentle, polite, and friendly to everyone. But if someone made her angry, she'd reveal her true self. She's actually brutal.'"Hubby, why don't you watch the TV on your own for a while? I'm going to find Caterpie to chat with." After informing Tywin, Melody walked toward Abigail's door.She knocked on the door before entering. "Stinky Caterpie, what were you two doing in the room?"Abigail was covering herself under the blanket. Only her feet were sticking out.Upon hearing Melody's voice, she wrapped herself tighter. "Don't ask me about that. I won't tell you anything. It's too embarrassing."Melody said, "I hope it's not what I guessed. Did Mr. Zane fail to perform at the crucial moment?"Abigail responded, "I've told you I won't say a word about it. Stop guessing."Melody said, "Are you planning to just stay in the room and avoid seeing people? My boyfriend i
In the past, the three of them used to celebrate Felix's birthday together. They would sit in their respective seats. Felix would definitely be the center of attention on his birthday. But this year, everything changed.He thought, 'I'm no longer the center of attention for them!'They only pay attention to the men sitting beside them!'Felix, the birthday boy, had been busy for the whole morning. And no one was even paying attention to him now.Since nobody paid attention to him, he had to make himself noticed.He raised his glass. "This is my first drink today. Let's all wish me a happy birthday!"The others finally looked at him when they heard him. All of them raised their glasses as they said, "Happy Birthday!"However, Abigail wanted to change Xander's drink. She said, "Fee, his stomach isn't well. He'll drink tea instead of alcohol."Felix glanced at Abigail and Xander as he unhappily said, "Since when did his body get so weak that he can't even drink a sip of alcohol?"
Abigail and Melody were shocked. They immediately walked toward Felix and hugged him.Abigail said, "Fee, what's wrong? Mel has something to do in the afternoon, but I don't. I can accompany you. Whatever you want to do this afternoon, I'll do it with you.""Really?" Felix tilted his head slightly to look at Xander who was behind Abigail. "Will your man agree?"Abigail replied, "I'm not doing anything bad. Why wouldn't he agree?"Felix said, "I want to hear it from him."Abigail turned around and pulled Xander's shirt. "Tell him."Xander casually said, "I'll stay here with you to accompany him."Felix was speechless.He pondered, 'I only want Caterpie to stay. I don't need him.'He's the CEO of the Zane Corporation. Why is he so insensitive?'Doesn't he know that his presence here will make me feel uncomfortable?'Felix then realized that Abigail would eventually move in to live with Xander. The days of Abigail living with them would become fewer. In the future, the three of
While Abigail was recording Felix's ugly, crying face, she still managed to think about other things. "Mel, do you know any girl that's suitable for him? If you do, you should introduce her to Fee. Look at him today. I think it's not that he's reluctant to let us go, he clearly wants to start dating."Melody replied, "You're wrong. Fee is just worried about you. He's afraid that you might've married the wrong person. He's afraid that you'll be mistreated and get hurt again.""I'm very happy now. Those unworthy people can't hurt me. You guys don't have to be worried about me." Abigail understood why Felix was worried. However, she also understood that sometimes she had to really learn how to let go of the past and start over; the outcomes might be completely different.Just like today, Felix and Melody were extremely nervous when Ben showed up. They were scared that he would hurt Abigail again.However, that jerk was like a total stranger to Abigail now. She could not be hurt by him
Abigail solemnly said, "You're very important to me too. You're just as important as them. Please don't ask this kind of question again. Look, I'm smart. I've never asked you whether you think your grandma and Essy are more important or I am."Abigail did not expect an answer. However, Xander gave her one. "I don't know who's more important. But I know I can't lose you."Before Abigail knew that Xander was Nathan and that he was her husband, she did not know Xander was so good at talking sweet nothings.This kind of indirect expression of affection could warm her heart better than direct expressions like "I love you".Abigail snuggled against his sturdy chest. She listened to his steady, strong heartbeat as she slowly said, "I understand."She meant to end the topic because she was afraid that if they continued talking about it, he would say something that would overwhelm her.But Xander did not want to end the topic. "You understood? Is there anything else that you want to say t
Abigail asked, "How will I know who's trying to frame me if I don't check it out?"Keith said, "Will you know if you see the news?"Abigail answered, "Maybe.""I've been working with you for a year. I know you aren't this kind of person. But I'm not so sure about Mr. Zane. You should quickly figure out a way to handle this. If Mr. Zane knows about this and just fires you without giving you a chance to explain, what are your plans for the future?" Keith looked for the links as he nagged. He suddenly stopped talking.After a few seconds, he spoke again, "Gone! They're all gone! Everything is gone!"Abigail asked, "What's gone?"Keith said, "When I called you, those slandering news about you were still all over the internet. But just within the short time I'm on the phone with you, I can't find any news about you online anymore. The links our colleagues sent earlier, when I clicked into them, the contents have all been changed. It's not that the contents have become unavailable. The
Keith was lost in his thoughts. 'No wonder Mr. Zane looked unhappy and asked me to look in the mirror when I thought Abigail was interested in me back then.'I finally know why Mr. Zane didn't listen to me but listened to everything that Abigail said.'No wonder when Abigail was drunk back then, Mr. Zane stayed in her room all night.'Everything that was unexplainable previously now made sense to Keith.He thought, 'Mr. Zane is still the principled man that I know. He's never messed around.'Xander and Abigail were still talking over the phone. But Keith did not dare to eavesdrop any longer. He quickly ended the call before lifting his hand to slap himself.He pondered, 'For the past two days, I had cursed them countless times and called them a disgusting couple.'Luckily, I only scolded them in my mind and not to their faces. Otherwise...'He then quickly recalled the past year. He realized that he had never done anything bad or inappropriate to Abigail.Not only did he not b
