Not only did Abigail not snatch his cigarette, but she did not even raise her head to look at him.Xander was speechless.He thought, 'Is it possible that Abigail didn't see me about to smoke?'He then vigorously pressed the lighter several times making a few clicking sounds. He finally managed to catch Abigail's attention.Xander leaned forward slightly to make it easier for Abigail to take the cigarette away from his hand...But Abigail gave him Felix's lighter with her hands instead. She said, "Mr. Zane, your lighter isn't working. Use this."He thought to himself again, 'She was so worried when Felix wanted to smoke. But when I wanted to smoke, she actually gave me a lighter instead of stopping me.'I have to wonder if she's trying to kill me sooner so that she can marry another man?!'Xander looked at the lighter in front of him. His face darkened slightly as he asked, "Did I ask you for a lighter?"Abigail was at a loss for words.She thought, 'His lighter wasn't functi

Xander asked, "Is there anything that I can help with?"Abigail answered, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zane. It's just a personal matter."Their conversation ended because of her reply.Luckily, the chef happened to serve them their breakfast.Xander sat down before Abigail sat opposite him.The breakfast was very hearty. Not only was it an Alvonian-style breakfast, but there was also the spaghetti bolognese that Abigail liked.Xander specifically asked the chef to make that for her. But Abigail did not take the pasta. He asked, "Is the pasta not to your liking?""We had dinner quite late last night. I'm not really hungry now. I don't feel like eating much. I just want to eat some porridge." There was porridge too. It was fresh sweet corn porridge. Abigail took a bowl of the porridge and tasted it twice. It tasted better than she imagined. It smelled nice and it was glutinous. It was also a little sweet but not greasy.Abigail thought, 'This porridge was cooked using rice a

Felix said, "I see. Then we should choose the more expensive one."Abigail responded, "But I really want to try The Parlour's brains and eggs. I want to know what's the difference between expensive and cheap brains and eggs."Melody said, "Caterpie, wake up. You're not the one who's going there to eat."Abigail responded, "I can't eat it. But I can think about it right?"Melody said, "I'll work harder to make more money. I'll bring you two to eat it when I have the money."Abigail said, "Okay. It'll depend on you whether I can eat it."They arrived at their destination for the day after booking a table at the restaurant.Felix and Melody came here a few times. So, they knew quite well about the properties here. They had told Abigail the pros and cons of these properties.The apartments at Lakeside were improved types of residential properties. The smallest unit was one thousand and seven hundred square feet. While the biggest unit was two thousand and five hundred square feet.

Melody said, "You're right. I've also made up my mind; I'll treat him twice as well as long as he's good to me. The two of us must live happily, and I mustn't be like you."Abigail made a menacing expression and said, "I'll beat you up if you talk about my marriage again."Melody quickly surrendered. "Alright, alright. I won't talk about it. But it'll take Brandon some time to come over from there, so let's sign the contract first."Abigail nodded. "Sure. I need to deal with the mortgage later, so I do need to hurry."However, none of them expected Brandon to arrive before they finished signing the contract. He was even faster than them.He was not alone. There was also a woman who was around fifty years old next to him.The woman walked up to Abigail before Brandon and Melody could give each other introductions. She started judging Abigail. "Your looks are pretty decent, so you're somewhat worthy of my Brandon. However, you're a little too skinny. Your butt is also small, so you

Brandon asked, "What do you mean?""I previously agreed to date you because you were nice to me. Since we hadn't even really officially started dating, neither of us will lose anything if we break it off early," said Melody.Brandon still thought he had been wronged. "Why aren't you listening to my mother if you know I'm nice to you?"Melody was amused by his confrontation. "Why should I listen to your mother? Who is she to me? You're nobody to me, either. Yet you want me to register the property I'm buying under your name, and you're not letting me buy a property on my own? Do you really take me for an idiot?"The woman rushed over in a panic when she saw her son get bullied. "You bitch. You pester my son every day, make him buy you food and things, and now you want to break up? Alright, pay my son back the money he spent on you first."Melody asked, "Why didn't I know I had spent your money before, Brandon?""I treated you to spicy marinara pasta the night before, and you didn'

"Mr. Cobain, not everyone is otherworldly like you." Abigail smiled. "We need to go apply for a mortgage now, so we'll be leaving you two."Xander, who had been silent all the while, spoke, "Abigail, I'll be waiting for you outside. Come and find me when you're done.""Yes, sir."Personal assistants did not have normal vacation days and had to be there whenever their bosses called for them. Of course, they also had days where they had days off because their bosses were in a good mood.After they left, Xander took out his personal phone. He wanted to send Abigail a WhatsApp message but did not know what to say.When they got married, he gave her a card with enough money for her to purchase a 2476-square-feet apartment. However, she did not spend the money in the card.'She's very serious about drawing a line between me—her husband—and herself. She isn't willing to use a single cent of the money I give her,' he thought.Xander felt incredibly displeased at this realization.Sudde

"Mhm. You're very right. That's also what I have in mind." Xander looked at her, and his eyes were slightly tinted with loneliness. "But she hasn't forgiven me. Help me come up with an idea on what I should do."'So that's why! I've been too full of myself recently. I can't believe I naively thought Mr. Zane was purposefully finding time to be alone with me,' thought Abigail.She thought for a while and said, "Mr. Zane, if you really want to reconcile with your wife, then you shouldn't care about your reputation. You should apologize if you need to, get on your knees if you need to, and buy her gifts if you need to. Anything that'll get her to forgive you is good."'Get on my knees? She wants me to get on my knees for her? How could I—a man—easily get on my knees?!' he thought."Let's go pick out a gift first." Xander smiled in resignation. Then, he stepped on the gas pedal and sped up the car.They drove all the way down south from Florivera Highway and turned into Florivera Firs

"Help me try on a dress."Samantha brought Abigail into a room filled with dresses before Abigail could reject her request. The dresses in the room were even more than in her dress boutique.Samantha took down a dress among the many dresses. It was a dark blue-colored dress with no embellishments. However, the dress looked really expensive, judging by its texture.Samantha handed the dress to Abigail. "Go try it on.""Alright."'The dresses Samantha makes are hard to come by, and every single piece is worth a fortune, so this dress must also be really expensive,' thought Abigail.Abigail was really careful when she tried on the dress, in fear that she would get it scratched or dirty.She did not know what the dress was made of, but it felt smooth to the touch. Even though she felt like she was not wearing a thing after putting on the dress, it did not affect the dress's quality.After Abigail got changed and came out of the fitting room, Samantha stared straight at her. "I've b

Xander did not immediately continue the conversation, knowing Abigail liked dresses and hence he had come to Samantha's place to find luxury goods for her. After a moment of silence, Samantha asked, "Are you serious about being with her?"Xander smiled and replied, "She's my wife. Who else would if I don't?"Samantha smiled bitterly. "You said you're not interested in a relationship and don't have feelings for me when I asked you out during our university years. I even believed you when you said you wouldn't want one in your lifetime until I received the news of your marriage recently. When my anger had not subsided, you even had the gall to ask me to sell the dress my mentor and I made together. What's more? You brought the person along even when I had not agreed to it. Mr. Zane, are you intentionally trying to piss me off?"Xander replied, "I'm not pulling your leg. Anyone I marry is the same to me, someone to live together with, as long as it makes Grandmother happy."What Xande

'Do you even need me to spell it out when the both of you are clearly making out? Do you take me for a fool?'Obviously, that was just her venting in her heart, not daring to be outright sarcastic in his face.Xander said, "I'm asking you a question."Abigail replied, "No one told me. It's just a wild guess on my part."Xander responded, "Don't make blind guesses. She's not my wife.""Not your wife? B-but the both of you were..." Realizing she had overstepped her boundaries, her words trailed off. Not wanting her to mistake him for an unfaithful man, he patiently explained, "She pursued me before, but I rejected it. She wanted to mislead you just now, that's why she threw herself at me the moment you came out of the fitting room. It was lucky I pushed her away in time, so she didn't kiss me."She looked at his eyes that were staring back at her and knew he was not lying, yet did not know why he was telling her what he should be telling his wife instead. He suddenly stretched out
