Susie texted Abigail: [So, you asked your husband to help you?]Abigail: [Yes.]Susie: [The condition for his help was that you kiss him in front of everyone?]Abigail: [No. He'd never make such a request. He helped me, and so I got excited and kissed him. Please stop teasing me.]Susie: [Your face is so red. You have too little of this kind of experience. You won't blush once you gain more experience.]Abigail immediately touched her face. It was indeed very hot. She replied: [Uh...]Not only was Ron's wife not there with him, but he had also lost the card game. So, his mood was bad. "Xander, enjoy this amazing time while you can. Maybe one day you'll end up like me, losing your wife and not being able to find her anywhere in the world."Abigail could not stand his inauspicious words. "Mr. Hagrid, you don't have to worry about that. We'll be together forever."Ron looked at Abigail. He said with a half-smile, "Are you sure you two can stay together forever?"Abigail replied,
Margaret: [Yes!]Cassandra: [Yes!]Abigail: [Hold on.]Abigail immediately looked for Xander and handed her phone to him. "Mr. Zane, can you take a picture of me while capturing the light show behind me?"Xander did not take her phone. Instead, he took his own phone out. "Move a little to the right and take half a step back. That's it."Xander then took a few photos of Abigail before showing them to her. "Take a look. If you aren't satisfied, we can take more."Abigail grabbed his phone and looked. She was very happy with the pictures. The angle of view of the pictures, the color adjustment of the photos, and so on were no less professional than that of a skilled photographer. She said, "Mr. Zane, have you learned photography? How did you make me look so good?"Xander was amused by her exaggeration. "No need for flattery."Abigail stared at him with her widened eyes. "I wasn't trying to flatter you. Your photography skills are the best I've ever seen. Can't I compliment you? Qu
Abigail thought, 'He didn't have to say it out loud that he wants to kiss me!'How could he be so straightforward about it?'Abigail frightenedly looked around. It seemed like everyone was busy with their own things and no one noticed them. She said, "There are so many people here. It's not appropriate. Let's wait until we're back home."Xander playfully twirled a strand of her hair around his finger and brought it close to his nose to smell. "Sure."Abigail did not dare to look at him. She lowered her head and continued texting in the family group chat.After she sent the photo, Margaret, Cassandra, and Susanna complimented them excessively again, as expected.After they praised Xander and Abigail, Esther, who had been quiet, sent a text message: [Grandmothers and Susanna, look at the way Xander looked at Abigail!]Margaret: [What's wrong with that?]Esther: [Xander looked so intensely and passionately at Abigail. It seems like his desire for her is so much. How did I not know
Xander said, "Abigail, Emma is an adult. And you're just her friend. You aren't responsible for her life."Abigail said, "But..."Xander interrupted her, "Emma wants freedom. She escaped from Ron to live independently. If I send someone to watch her and help her, then what's the difference between that and her staying with Ron? This may not be the freedom she wants."Abigail started, "What if..."Xander said, "You're worried that she might encounter danger? You're worried that she can't find a job to support herself? Every one of us living in this world may face danger. But the possibility of that is extremely small. If it does happen, it's fate."And every one of us may also face the problem of not being able to find a job to support ourselves. Take you for an example, if you can't find a job and afford your meals, other than your family, will anyone else help you?"Emma wants freedom. She doesn't want to depend on others. Every decision that she makes now is her own choice. You
Abigail was embarrassed for being caught staring at Xander. She hurriedly looked away. "W-We're home.""Okay." After they got out of the car, Xander held Abigail's hand and walked together.She then used both her hands to wrap his hand. "You have an important meeting tomorrow morning. You need to get up early tomorrow. You should take a shower now and go to bed early."Xander said, "I'll give you two days off so that you can stay at home with your grandmother."Abigail replied, "Sure. I'll pass my work on to Ms. Wolfe. She'll cover for me these two days. What do you think?""Sure. Up to you." As they were walking, Xander suddenly stopped. He raised his hand to hold Abigail's face and quickly kissed her lips.He was very gentle when he kissed her. She had a ticklish sensation on her lips. She could not resist his kiss. Within seconds, her legs became weak, and she leaned heavily against his body.After the long kiss, Abigail's face turned extremely red.Xander caressed her rosy
Abigail did not allow Xander to respond. She continued, "Are you and your sister plotting against me?"Xander tried to explain, "I..."Abigail angrily said, "I don't care. You figure out a way to get our grandmothers' and Susanna's phones. Delete the video before they wake up and see the messages."She then went into the house immediately after she said that, leaving the two troublemakers looking at each other.Esther finally realized she had angered Abigail. She wanted to run away, but she could then hear Xander's low, stern voice from behind. "Esther, try running away and see what happens!"Esther looked back at Xander. She smiled playfully as she said, "Xander, Grandma arranged all these. If you want to blame someone, blame Grandma."Xander sharply said, "You always put the blame on Grandma. Why did you do whatever she asked you to do? Why don't you use your brain?"Esther replied, "Grandma is old. Her biggest wish is to have a great-grandchild. As a filial granddaughter, how
When Abigail felt that Xander was about to come close to her, she quietly opened her eyes a slit. She saw him holding a towel and drying his hair without intending to use a hairdryer.Abigail knew Xander's health was not good. She was worried that having wet hair might cause him to catch a cold. Despite being angry, she still worriedly said, "I'm not asleep yet. Dry your hair with the hairdryer."Xander asked, "You weren't asleep yet? Or did I wake you up?"Abigail replied, "I hadn't fallen asleep."Xander chuckled. He then sat down by her side with the hairdryer. "Help me dry my hair."Abigail refused, "No!"She thought, 'Men shouldn't be spoiled!'I dried his hair for him at the hotel two days ago. Now that he needs to dry his hair, he thinks of asking me for help.'I absolutely can't spoil him. Or else, he'll develop annoying habits.'Although she thought she should not spoil him, she still obediently sat up. She then took the hairdryer from him. She turned it on and adjust
When Abigail woke up the next morning, it was already mid-morning. Xander had already left.She thought, 'My biological clock has always been very accurate. Even if I don't set an alarm, I'd wake up at nearly the usual time. How did I manage to sleep until 10 o'clock in the morning today?'She twisted her head and looked at the empty spot.Last night was their third night living together. On the first two mornings, he had waited for her to have breakfast together.When she woke up without him around today, she suddenly felt empty. It was as if Xander waiting to have breakfast with her was a habit developed over many years.She was not used to waking up without him around.Abigail grabbed her phone and sent messages to Xander's work WhatsApp number without hesitation.Xander's phone notification could be heard thrice.Three messages appeared on the big screen in the conference room. The whole room instantly went quiet. Even Keith, who was experienced in dealing with difficult si
