After hearing that, Abigail did not want to listen anymore and, blushing, quickly ran off.Seeing her red face, Cassandra and Susanna asked with worry, "What did you hear, Abigail? Why is your face so red?""Grandma, Susanna... When Xander comes out, tell him I'll be waiting outside," Abigail quickly said, before dashing out. If not, they would surely bug her for details. She waited quite a while in the garage before Xander finally came out. She did not know what else he and Margaret had talked about, so she stayed quiet, feeling too shy to ask. But Xander was the first to say something."Why aren't you asking what Grandma and I talked about?"Abigail did not want to ask. She knew if she did, he would tell her, and she did not want to deal with that kind of awkwardness. "If Grandma wanted to chat with you alone, she probably wanted to keep it a secret. I don't want to make things hard for you."Xander just smiled and did not say anything else. He drove Abigail to the spot where St

Xander said, "Step out of the car."Malcolm asked, "What's wrong?"Xander said, "Who's your driver?"Malcolm responded, "You can be a chauffeur for your assistant, why can't you do the same for a good friend like me? Is it because I'm not as good-looking as Abigail?" Xander did not respond and just started the car, heading toward The HC Residences. Sitting in the front passenger seat, Malcolm suddenly blurted out, "I'm really curious, who is Abigail's husband? She could give up many opportunities for that guy."Xander asked, "What do you mean? She's always busy working. She doesn't have lots of admirers following her around."Malcolm started to say, "I—"Xander cut him off and asked, "You what?"Malcolm said, "I like Abigail. I've wanted to pursue her since the day I first saw her, and you know this. However, she turned me down simply by saying she's married. Now, I've known her for over a year and still haven't met the bugger who got to marry her."Xander, quietly seething at

Xander said, "Who has the time to trick you?""Are you not messing with me?" Malcolm said back. "Then why didn't you tell me you and Abigail are married, Xander? You've made me feel like a fool this past year."Xander responded flatly, "You've been a fool for more than just this year.""Xander, I... I thought we were friends, but to you, I'm just a fool!" Malcolm blurted out, his face flushing with anger. "I've decided, I'm not your friend anymore. I won't listen to you. Don't ever think you can boss me around again.""Oh, you can go now," Xander said nonchalantly."What did you say?" Malcolm asked, taken aback."I said, you can go now," Xander repeated."Wait, you invited me here to drink and now you're kicking me out? You just wanted to show off your marriage certificate?" Malcolm complained.Xander simply responded, "Yep."That single "yep" was enough to set Malcolm off. "Xander, you're heartless."Xander shrugged. "Just remembered, Abigail doesn't want me to drink, so I c

Shawn casually replied, "What do you think you know?"Malcolm said, "I know who Xander's wife is. Do you want to know?"Shawn said, "Oh, you finally figured it out."Malcolm was surprised by Shawn's answer. "What do you mean? Don't tell me you already knew who Xander's wife was?"Shawn said, "Not that long ago, maybe even before Xander did."Malcolm exclaimed, "Shawn, you're just bragging! You're busy all day, and you hardly ever hang out with Xander. I spend way more time with Xander than you do. I just found out who his wife is. There's no way you knew before me. No way, absolutely no way!"Malcolm was not upset that Shawn knew who Xander's wife was; he just did not like being the last one to find out. In his mind, he was always with Xander in Florivera, whether Xander was working or not, or just out having fun. He always thought he was Xander's best friend, and after Xander's family, he should have been the first to know about Xander's marriage. But now, he found out others kn

"Don't beat others down too hard?" Xander chuckled as if he had heard a great joke.Malcolm asked, "Xander, why are you laughing?"Xander was laughing at Malcolm's naivety, and at his own ruthlessness. He did not tell Malcolm that his innocence and silly charm were what had always attracted him. If Malcolm were to lose that innocence and become worldly, he would not be the same Malcolm. Xander did not usually talk business with Malcolm, hoping he could stay innocent for them both. But now, Malcolm was 28, just a few months younger than him. It was time he understood the harshness of the world.Xander said, "Business is like a war, but even tougher. Now, you're asking me to go easy on the Guzman family. But if we let them catch their breath and their company gets back on its feet, they'll come after me first. I'm not a charity or a fool."Malcolm still had a sliver of hope. "Max has always been my best friend. I could talk to Max and make him promise not to fight with you if his com

"Abigail is different," Xander said."How is she different?" Malcolm asked."She doesn't wanna make our relationship public," Xander replied.On hearing this, Malcolm, who had been feeling down all night, could not help but laugh. "I never, ever thought there'd be someone who didn't want the world to know she's with you, Xander. It's so funny you finally had a silly moment!" Malcolm laughed so hard, tears streamed down his cheeks."Is it that funny?" Xander asked."Isn't it?" Malcolm wiped the tears from his eyes, still chuckling. "Think about it; so many girls dream of marrying you. If they could, they'd shout it to the world. And yet, your wife doesn't want to make your relationship public. That's really funny."Xander's face hardened. "I'm telling you all this because I need your help, not for you to make fun of me."Malcolm said, "First, tell me why Abigail doesn't want to tell people about you two. Is it just because she doesn't like your face?"Xander scratched his head.

Malcolm said, "Because you're so great, lots of people are jealous of you."Xander raised an eyebrow and said, "Huh?"Malcolm continued, "Abigail isn't just a pretty woman; she's also smart and knows exactly what she wants. From what I know about her, she wouldn't put all her feelings and her whole life into just one guy. Even if she's your wife, she wouldn't dare give you her whole heart. She'd keep a little back, just in case. If you ever change your mind, she could leave."If Malcolm's previous words were nonsense, these words were wise ones. Xander never thought Abigail would worry so much. Since she was his wife, she would always be his wife. He would not let her leave.Malcolm went on, "Do you like Abigail?"Xander replied, "She's my wife."Malcolm asked, "I asked if you like her, not if she's your wife. Being married doesn't mean you have to like each other."Xander said, "Of course, I like her."Malcolm perked up. "Abigail is the first and only girl you've liked in almo

Malcolm said, "Don't sweat it. I can find someone else to grab a drink with."Shawn replied, "Quit the chatter and give me the address. I'm coming over."Malcolm laughed. "You little rascal!"After Malcolm left, Xander stood alone by the huge window, gazing at the tall building across the street. The building was called Starluxe Tower, owned by Zane Corporation, and it was a big mall with stores, entertainment, and offices. Xander checked his phone and saw that there were many places in that building to get a drink. Abigail had only said she was going to have a drink with Stella, but she did not say which place. He was worried about Abigail and wanted to know where she was.'What if she drinks too much and gets into trouble?' Xander thought. 'She's such a pretty woman.'Xander's worry made sense, as Abigail was already a little dizzy from drinking, but she did not stop. She was having one drink after another with Stella, who was drinking without saying anything. Abigail joined her
