Xander said, "What else?"Abigail was confused. "What else?"Xander did not get the answer he wanted to hear. He was silent for a while before saying, "Nothing."Abigail was speechless.She thought, 'There's something very wrong with my boss today.'She turned around and sat in the passenger seat obediently. About half an hour later, the car entered the Mangrove Bay Villa area.Mangrove Bay Villa area was the most expensive residential area in Florivera. It was near the city, but the view of the sea could be seen. Monsoon Villa was the most luxurious presence in the Mangrove Bay Villa area. The area that it covered was so big that most people did not even dare to imagine it in their lifetime.After entering the villa area and driving through several miles of a tree-lined driveway, they entered the Monsoon Villa area.The first thing that appeared in front of them was a Chrysalian-style garden. There were a few small buildings as they moved deeper.The outermost building was fo
Dr. Sander was startled. She immediately smiled even brighter as she said, "It's even better that you aren't bearing someone else's child. You can have kids with Xander in the future. Both of you are so good-looking. It'd be a waste of such high-quality genes if you two don't give birth to a few kids."Xander did not mind raising someone else's child. But he was the leader of the Zane Corporation. So, his child would definitely inherit the Zane Corporation.If his kid was not of Zane's bloodline, the Zane Corporation that had finally been stabilized would inevitably face many issues. Everyone in the Zane family did not wish that to happen."Dr. Sander, what are you talking about?" Abigail was so angry that her eyes turned red. She said, "Who do you all think I am? Is it okay for anyone to just humiliate me? To abuse me?"Dr. Sander realized she said something wrong. She quickly apologized, "Abigail, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to humiliate you. I was just happy for you."She just got
After Abigail's mother, Daisy Gardner gave birth to her, Daisy divorced Abigail's father, Leroy Renee, and she left North Florivera leaving Abigail and Leroy behind. They had not heard from Daisy since then.Leroy passed away due to a car accident when Abigail was five. Since then, she was raised by her grandmother. Abigail was bullied quite a lot when she was a kid.Abigail was sensible ever since she was very young due to family reasons. She always helped her busy grandmother to do housework. At the age of sixteen, she was the top student in liberal arts at North Florivera and was accepted into Florivera University.She thought everything would be better after she got into the university. But unexpectedly, during her second-year summer holiday in university, before she turned eighteen, she was framed and forced to leave North Florivera. And she had not been to her hometown for the next few years after that.After that incident, she went back to Florivera. The man who tried everyt
After watching Paxton drive off with Abigail, Xander got into the car driven by Liam. They then went to the Zane residence.Margaret stayed there ever since she came back from Southcrest Residence because she was worried about Cassandra's health condition.Margaret was unhappy when she saw Xander. She asked, "Why did you come back? Did you come back to see how angry you've made me?"Xander pushed the glasses on his nose as he said, "Grandma, how did I make you angry?""Nathan, you still dare to say you didn't anger me?" Margaret was so furious that she actually called his name that he would only use at home. Whenever she said that name, it would mean that she was truly angry, and it would be difficult to calm her down.Xander supported her as he said, "I came here to cool you down. Please hear me out."Margaret did not listen to him. She just kept complaining, "What did you promise me back then? And look at what you did. Just today I found out that the Big Four Families are talki
Xander said, "I want to arrange the best doctor and the best hospital for her grandmother. I want her sickness to be cured soonest possible so that Abigail is worry-free." This was the best way that Xander could think of to make up for Abigail. If he were to tell Abigail that, she would definitely not accept it. So, he could only ask his grandmother for help.Margaret said, "This is easy. I was planning to take Cassandra back to Southcrest Residence to live with me. But I was worried I couldn't find a reason for it. Now that you two aren't going to divorce, I can then openly take her with me to recuperate."Xander was relieved as he said, "Thank you, Grandma!"Margaret said, "But I must warn you. If you make any trouble once more, I'll be the first person to come after you.""I won't." After he said that, he thought to himself, 'This time I'll certainly take up the responsibility as Abigail's husband. I'll not let her be wronged again.'But is she willing to give me a chance to ma
"You're right, Cassandra. I'll definitely need to give both you and Abigail an answer for this," Margaret said as she walked in, her voice so loud it could rip the roof off. "Nathan has gone way overboard!"After getting into the house, Margaret continued her scolding. "Back then, it was he who wanted the divorce, and now he's the one who refuses to divorce. Who does he take Abigail for? That punk, if he dares to show himself before me again, I'll break his legs if that's the last thing I do!"Seeing how much of a tirade Margaret was unleashing, Cassandra did not want to chime in, instead, she tried to calm her down. "Margaret, don't fret too much. Sit down and have a drink first. Don't hurt your body in a fit of anger."Margaret walked to Cassandra's bedside and grabbed her hand as convenient tears soon fell. "Cassandra, I know you're a kind soul, but I can't allow your kindness to let this matter lie."Seeing that Margaret was tearing up, Cassandra cried too. "We shouldn't blame
"Alright, we'll be leaving then. Go back home," Margaret said."Goodbye." Abigail reluctantly watched as the car drove away and was unwilling to look away even after a good while.In fact, Abigail knew very well that the reason why her grandma would follow Grandma Margaret to Southcrest was not to spend off Nathan's money at all. It was that she did not want to trouble her for fear of affecting her work.Not too far away, inside an inconspicuous MPV sat Xander.Seeing how lost Abigail was, he lit up a cigarette before extinguishing it without taking a puff as he pushed open the door and walked over. "Abigail..."Having her name called out suddenly like that, Abigail was taken aback, and when she saw that it was him, she let out a smile while still feeling suspicious. "Mr. Zane, why are you here? Are you here to see the doctor?""Just passing by, you?"'Passing by again. I've run into him twice today, and this is just too coincidental, it beggars belief.''Could he be thinking o
Being called a bastard by Abigail's friends, not only did Xander not refute that, he even felt that they were right. He was a proper right bastard.He, as a husband, not only did not provide his wife any help when she needed him the most, but he even caused her more trouble.If her friends were already so resentful of him, he could only wonder how much Abigail hated 'Nathan' in her heart.The three of them had totally ignored his presence and Xander had to speak up to make himself heard. "Abigail, are these your friends?"Abigail was speechless.'Shit! I got so engrossed with Felix and Mel I forgot that Xander was standing right here. Now he has heard all of my private matters!'It was only at this moment did Melody notice Xander and her eyes immediately lit up with stars. "Woah, handsome! Have we met before? Caterpie? He isn't Nathan, right? If he's Nathan, then just forget about the divorce. He's so handsome even if he's a useless piece of shit, taking him out as a companion wo
