After briefly considering it, Abigail dismissed the thought. However, Louis's comment caught her off guard.Louis said, "Your grandpa Mike died young. You've never seen him, have you? I bet there isn't even a photo of him at your place."Abigail went quiet, processing what Louis had said. The stories from her grandmother were her only source of knowledge about her grandfather. As a child, she had seen how her grandmother would get upset whenever her grandfather was mentioned. With time, they spoke of him less frequently. Abigail had always thought her grandmother's sadness stemmed from her grandfather's early death due to an illness. Growing up, she rarely brought him up, and neither did her grandmother. She suspected there could be more to this.Louis said, "I had someone investigate. Your father Leroy and Harvey were raised by just your grandma. There was no Mike Renee."'If there wasn't a grandpa, then how did my dad come into the picture?' Abigail said, "No way! That's not poss

Abigail began, "I don't even—"Louis interjected, "I understand, you aren't close to Johann because of money. I want to shield him. Life hasn't been kind to Johann, and I aim to protect him. You'll treat him well since he's your real grandpa, won't you?"Abigail replied, "Not sure about that."Louis asked, "Why?"Abigail clarified, "If Johann really is my grandpa, it means he abandoned my grandma and my dad when he was little. How can I just accept that?"Louis said, "Johann never planned to leave his family. He moved west for a job years ago. After a while, he wrote home about a woman he'd met and his wish to marry her. Since the family had already arranged a marriage for him here, they sent me out to investigate. Johann was excited to introduce me to her. She had sleek black hair in twin braids and a lively twinkle in her eyes. I never told him the real reason for my visit. On getting back, I told everyone they'd broken up. When Johann would write to Valtara, I'd read the letter

Abigail said, "Searching for them doesn't mean he's off the hook for what happened." She remembered a touching letter from her grandmother's diary that had deeply moved her, even before she realized who wrote it. Back then, having a baby without being married brought a lot of gossip. When the guy who had promised to be there for her disappeared after their child was born, she was left to face all the nasty talk from the neighbors alone. Compared to that, Abigail felt her own problems were not that big. Even with her friends' and Cassandra's support, she had tough times. But how her grandmother got through her even harder challenges was something she never talked about. It was as if she wanted to forget that time in her life completely. Abigail continued, her voice shaking, "I read her last letter. She felt so alone. I wonder if he ever understood just how much she suffered."Louis urged, "Abigail, let me explain."Abigail said sharply, "He should've known his family would have issues

Abigail teased Marlin by giving him rapid-fire kisses, which sent him into fits of laughter."Trying to act like kids?" Mobius emerged from behind a bush, looking at them with raised eyebrows.Abigail retorted, "Who cares if we are? It's none of your concern."Approaching her, Mobius said, "You've changed so quickly. Was all that sweetness just an act?"Abigail shot back, "Absolutely. I played nice hoping to become a part of the Blau family and maybe get some of your fortune."Mobius raised an eyebrow. "You seem upset. Did Uncle Louis say something to you?" When Abigail remained silent, he pressed, "Did he upset you?"Abigail just handed Marlin to him. "No," she replied.Mobius, holding Marlin, added, "Uncle Louis is a bit old-fashioned and can be blunt about marrying within one's class. Try not to take it personally. Remember, you're Uncle Johann's granddaughter. If he cares for you, that's what truly counts.""Don't care," Abigail snapped and walked away. She wanted nothing t

"Do you remember the letter in my grandma's diary?" Abigail asked.Xander nodded. "Of course."Abigail continued, "Did it make you sad for the mother who wrote it? Imagine if she hadn't died and got to raise her child—"Interrupting, Xander said, "Wait, you know about this?"Abigail hesitated for a moment. "When did you find out?"Xander replied, "After I read that letter, I believed it was something your grandma wrote. I looked into it and discovered some interesting stuff.""What did you find out?" Abigail asked.Xander replied, "Mike Renee, the man you believed was your grandfather? He wasn't real. Your grandma created him. When she moved to North Florivera with your dad, she claimed she was a widow, but no one ever knew or met this 'Mike'."Abigail murmured, "I never figured that out."Xander, rubbing her back, said, "When you're directly involved, it's harder to see things clearly. But outsiders? Sometimes they get a better view. Don't beat yourself up about it.""How di

Abigail was speechless. Xander tilted her chin. "Do I scare you?"She shook her head. "No."He leaned in and kissed her. "You're fibbing just a bit.""I'm really not." Abigail moved closer to him. "I want to go back to Florivera. I don't like it here.""Is it because you found out Johann is your real grandpa? Does that bother you?"Abigail replied, "It doesn't bother me. I just... I'm unsure about my feelings."Xander said, "Abigail, your grandma's hardships happened because of Johann. But it wasn't what he wanted. He's felt guilty about it every day for decades."Abigail interrupted, "So?"Xander continued, "Just think about it. Make choices you won't regret. Remember, Johann is getting older."Abigail murmured, "I know." Finding family just to face the risk of losing them again made her wonder if getting to know him had been the right choice.Xander gently patted her back. "Want to rest for a bit?"Abigail replied, "I can't sleep with all this on my mind. Right now, only y

Abigail nestled into Xander's embrace. "Where were you this afternoon? Johann introduced me to everyone, and I thought you'd be right there with me. But once we got to the Blau residence, I couldn't find you. I haven't seen you since."Xander gently cradled her face. "Did you miss me?"Abigail nodded. "A lot, actually." She realized it was hard to remember a time when Xander was not a significant part of her life.Xander's heart fluttered. He had always hoped she would feel that way. "Really?"Blushing, Abigail whispered, "Every moment you were gone, you were on my mind."Xander looked at her, hesitating. "It's not always good to be too attached, Abigail."Abigail, clearly frustrated, snapped, "Nathan, I'm saying I missed you, and you're lecturing me? Just tell me you felt the same."Xander tried to explain, "Feelings start when two people click, but in the end, you've got to think things through."Growing more irritated, Abigail shot back, "What's your deal, Nathan? Are you tr

Xander chuckled. "If Abigail is inside, where else would I be?"Growing impatient, Johann asked, "Where is she? I need to talk to her.""She's tied up right now," Xander replied."What's holding her up? Remember, she's my granddaughter now," Johann's voice trailed off as he noticed the mark on Xander's lip, obviously Abigail's handiwork. "Once she's ready, ask her to come speak with me."Xander gave a nod. "Will do. Take care."Johann took a few steps, then turned back, directing a warning glance at Xander. "Abigail has to attend a banquet later, so mind your actions."Xander replied with a sly smile, "Got it."Johann sounded frustrated. "All you young guys seem to have one thing on your mind. I guess I never really understood you."Xander replied, "Better late than never, right?"Johann snapped, "You trying to get on my nerves?"Xander shrugged. "Not at all. If there's something on your mind, just talk to me."Johann scoffed, "What have you heard that I haven't?"Xander, w

Johann said, "Alright, off you go. But be safe; I don't want to see Abigail upset."Xander nodded. "I'll do my best." If anything were to happen to him, he would make sure Abigail would be okay, even if he was not around.As Xander walked toward the staircase and out of view, Johann murmured, "Something's off about him."Coming out of the bathroom, Abigail overheard and asked, "Who's off, Johann?"Johann pulled Abigail close, studying her face before asking, "What did Louis want with you? Did he bother you?"Abigail smiled. "He said he'd have my back."Johann looked skeptical. "Really?"She nodded. "Yeah. Speaking of which, have you seen Xander?""He mentioned heading back to Florivera."Abigail's eyes widened. "He left without me?" As she reached for her phone, planning to call Xander, she saw a new message from him.Xander: [Abigail, I need to go to Pleasia for work. Please stay in Valtara and enjoy some time with Johann. I'll get you once I'm back, and we'll return home to

Chapter 1130

Samuel asked, "Does Paxton focus more on details?"Xander replied, "It's because he simply follows orders. He does as instructed without letting his feelings interfere."Samuel thought, 'Does Mr. Zane find me too opinionated? If he needed anything, even my life, I'd offer it willingly.' Then he said, "You have my unwavering loyalty, Mr. Zane."Xander acknowledged with a nod. "From today, you and Paxton will be responsible for Abigail's safety."Samuel expressed concern, "Without us, how will you deal with Nova's threat?" Xander's intense stare silenced Samuel momentarily. Gathering himself, Samuel added, "It's not about doubt, Mr. Zane. I worry about your safety." Sensing Xander's growing impatience, he said, "Okay, I get it."Xander resumed smoking but was soon wracked by a harsh cough, spitting out blood.Alarmed, Samuel cried out, "Mr. Zane!"Xander managed to say, "Don't let Abigail find out," before losing consciousness.In a frenzy, Samuel dialed his phone. "Dr. Watson? P
