Chapter 1211

Not every family could tolerate a womanizer like Malcolm. Some introduced their daughters to him just for show. But families that truly cared would not jeopardize their daughters' happiness for the sake of wealth.Britney felt a headache coming on, all because of Malcolm's nonstop talking. She snapped, "Enough with the chatter! One more word and I might just silence you myself."Malcolm replied, "Look, Grandma. I've said it before; I'm just not into these women. I don't want to hurt them. Is it that hard to understand? Do you need to see me marry and then divorce before you get it?"After a gentle kick from Abigail, Malcolm turned to her, puzzled. "Why did you do that?" he asked."Just follow me," Abigail replied. "I need to tell you something." She started walking, and Malcolm followed.Margaret and Britney stared in shock, both asking, "Is Malcolm actually listening to Abigail?"Britney added, "Didn't see that coming."Margaret beamed with pride. "Now you see how capable Abiga

Malcolm said, "Don't be sad, Abigail."Abigail replied, "Sad? Not exactly. It's more about regret. How I wish I could still hear my grandma, even if she were nagging." Pausing for a moment, she added, "Malcolm, I know you might not understand how sad I am. But maybe try being nicer to your grandma. You don't want to be sorry about it later like I am now."Malcolm gently patted Abigail's shoulder. "I'll take your advice."Abigail smiled. "Talk to your grandma then.""Okay."When he approached Britney, Malcolm said, "I shouldn't have raised my voice earlier. Can you forgive me, Grandma?"Surprised, Britney replied, "Why the sudden change, you little rascal?"Hugging his grandmother, something Malcolm had not done in a long time, he said, "I'll listen to you. I promise to think about settling down."Britney, buzzing with excitement, asked, "Did everyone hear that, or am I hearing things?"Margaret replied, "No, we all heard it."Curious, Britney asked Abigail, "What did you say

As the woman disappeared from view, Malcolm gritted his teeth. "She's just playing hard to get, isn't she?" Abigail just rolled her eyes without responding. Malcolm persisted, "Don't you think?"Abigail simply said, "Let's go eat.""But you need to answer me. It'll bug me all night if you don't."Abigail shot back, "Wasn't she clear enough?"Malcolm said, "I've heard that women often say one thing but mean another."Abigail retorted, "Who's been filling your head with that? When a woman tells you 'no', believe her. Don't make excuses."Malcolm, looking concerned, asked, "I'm not trying to make excuses. I just want to understand. Why doesn't she like me?"Abigail said, "Sometimes, things just don't line up when it comes to feelings." She recalled Xander leaving with Lucia earlier that day. The memory brought a sharp ache that she had been trying to drown in her work all morning. Despite her efforts, the pain remained, intense and numbing.Malcolm said, "Isn't a win-win situation

Before Abigail could finish, Malcolm jumped in, "I was just joking. I shouldn't have said that." He knew Margaret would be upset if she learned about his comment.Margaret came over shortly after. "What happened, Abigail?"Abigail glanced at Malcolm, catching his regretful face. "Malcolm said he liked a woman, but she didn't feel the same."Margaret replied, "Well, not everyone is Xander. Malcolm can't expect every woman to like him back."Stung by Margaret's words, Malcolm felt a deep sense of embarrassment and hurt.After dinner, Abigail and Margaret left the Cobain residence. As they made their way out, Abigail said, "Grandma, instead of returning to Monsoon Villa, can I stay with you at the Zane residence tonight?"Margaret considered it and replied, "Of course. Do you want me to inform Xander to come over after he's done with work?"Abigail shook her head. "No, he's been so busy lately. Let him have a quiet evening."Margaret smiled and gently squeezed Abigail's hand. "Alr

Susanna said, "If people don't know Abigail's status, they might get the wrong idea. We should clarify it."Margaret replied, "Right, I'll talk to Xander about it."She then dialed Xander's number, and he picked up right away."What's up, Grandma?""Don't I get a call unless there's trouble?" Margaret joked. After a brief pause from Xander, she continued, "Abigail has been your wife for some time. Isn't it time to let others know her status with you?"Xander hesitated before replying, "I've got it covered, Grandma."Margaret said, "What do you mean by 'got it covered'? I promised Abigail's grandma, my dear friend, that I'd watch over her. She may not share all her feelings with you, so I'm here to voice them."Xander asked, "Did she say she wants her status announced?"Margaret replied, "Not at all. You know Abigail; she's always considerate and never wants to put anyone in a tough spot."Xander sighed. "I'll talk to her. No need to worry."Margaret softly said, "Xander..."

The phone remained silent. Even after spending the night out, not a single call or text came from Xander. Opening their chat, Abigail typed:[I wasn't home last night. Didn't you notice, or do you not care?]She sent the message, expecting a swift response given Xander's early morning habits. As she waited, minutes felt like hours, and her eyelids grew heavy. Yet, no reply came from Xander.'Why hasn't he replied?'Taking a deep breath, Abigail tried to shake off her frustration, but it sat heavy in her chest. As she stood up, dizziness from her sleepless night caught her off guard, and she grasped her chair to steady herself. Once the feeling passed, she washed her face, applied moisturizer, and raced downstairs.Margaret, having risen early as usual, greeted her, "You're up early, Abigail."Abigail replied, "Good morning, Grandma. I want to see Xander at his office."Margaret teased, "Missing him after just one night?"Abigail nodded. "I do."Margaret said, "Well, I can arra

Xander, dressed in his white shirt and black pants, looked just as Abigail remembered. Yet, his gaze was distant. She tried to call out to him, but no sound escaped her lips. As much as she wished to walk up to him, her feet would not budge. Her heart ached watching Xander and Lucia walk together into the CEO's private elevator. As the doors shut, it felt as though a huge barrier had risen between her and Xander.Abigail felt as if her heart had shattered. She wobbled, about to fall, but Jerry was there to catch her."Ms. Renee," he said, "you've been with Mr. Zane for so long. You know him better than the rest of us. But he's out of most people's league. Why chase something so elusive?"She gave Jerry a grateful look. "Do you think I'm being silly?" When he nodded, she lifted her chin, smiling softly. "Now I know how that feels."Jerry looked puzzled. "What are you talking about?""It's just a hard-to-describe feeling," Abigail said. She then glanced around the large hall. "Jerry

Melody said, "I'm at the studio, and it's all ready. Want to come see it?"Abigail replied, "Sure, I'm on my way."The studio, close to The Lakeside, was just a short drive from their new home. Starting from Zane Corporation, it took Abigail about half an hour to get there."Hey, Stinky Caterpie, follow me," Melody said, leading Abigail upstairs. "Check out this office. Fee and I set it up for you — great lighting and a view of the lake.""Why such a fancy office for me?" Abigail asked. "I can draw at home, and I won't be here every day."Melody smiled. "Even if you're not here daily, you're a big part of this studio. With the new, bigger location, it only made sense to think of you.""And where are you and Fee set up?" Abigail asked."Right next door," Melody said.Melody showed Abigail the next rooms. Although they both had views of the lake, Abigail's office was noticeably larger. Combined, Felix's and Melody's spaces were about the same size as hers. It was no surprise; her

Melody said, "I'm pregnant, and my guy is worried others might notice soon. Even though we aren't official, he wants us to get our marriage license and then plan the wedding."Abigail, looking at Melody's belly, replied, "Mel, take your time deciding on marriage. It's a big decision."Melody tapped her forehead with a smile. "Everyone says marriage is a big deal. But you married someone you barely knew, didn't you? And you question the guy I've known forever?" Abigail was at a loss for words. Melody laughed. "I'm just joking with you. When I met his family back home, I knew I was ready to commit to him. They seem to adore me, and my family thinks he's the one for me. We planned to get married eventually. So I thought, why wait?"Relationships could be tricky. People promised one thing one day, and then changed their minds the next. Abigail was worried but did not want to upset Melody. "Whatever you choose, stick with it. We all want you to be happy."Melody nodded. "I'm sure we'll

Abigail hesitated. "It feels like hearts can change so fast."Melody replied, "It's different for everyone. The three of us? We've been close for years and never wavered."Abigail nodded. "Exactly."You could truly trust friends you had grown up with. Others might sound genuine, but it was wise to be cautious of their words.After leaving the studio, Abigail headed to the Zane residence. Margaret had hoped she would move back in. Seeing Abigail return without Xander, however, made her worried."Why are you back again, Abigail?" Margaret asked.Abigail grinned. "Grandma, do you feel like you've seen too much of me?"Margaret replied, "Oh, never! I'm just worried about taking up so much of your time, especially with Xander."Abigail said, "True feelings don't need pushing. They just exist or they don't.""You're right."Abigail then asked, "You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Want some company?""Sure."At the dining table, Abigail carefully served Margaret. "Still following
