Except for death, nothing or no one could ever split them up.Abigail held onto his arm again. "Nathan."Xander replied, "Yes?"Abigail said again, "Mr. Zane."Xander remained silent.Abigail asked, "Why aren't you responding?"Xander replied, "I don't want to hear those two words."Abigail asked, "Then what do you want to hear?"Xander grinned. "Just call me 'Hubby'."Abigail was speechless and thought to herself, 'He's teasing me again, right in the middle of the day.'Just when Xander thought she would not say it, he heard her soft, sweet voice. "Hubby."Xander stretched out his arm, and even while holding a bag, he pulled Abigail into his arms. He hugged her, kissed her, and softly said, "Wifey."Felix and Lucia had been home for quite a while. Abigail and Xander just arrived. When the door opened, Malcolm, lying in the living room, started complaining, "You invited us over for dinner, and we got so hungry we started cooking ourselves. You two are just getting back."A

In a flash, Lucia felt as though she had fallen into an icy cave, struggling desperately to surface as the cold water engulfed her, threatening to swallow her whole. At that critical moment, she heard Abigail's gentle voice. "Malcolm, Lucia, you two are in charge of chopping the onions." The warmth in Abigail's voice pulled Lucia back to reality, as if sunlight had gradually melted the ice around her.Malcolm's attention was instantly diverted by Abigail's words. "My hands are too valuable to be chopping onions."Abigail did not care; she placed the bowl of onions on the coffee table. "Everyone is busy. You can't be idle. So you'll chop the onions." Abigail then turned to Lucia and whispered, "Do you know how to chop onions? If not, I can teach you."Malcolm was speechless. 'Why do I have to chop onions, while Lucia gets such gentle treatment? Why does everyone treat me differently? Today, I'm clearly the most exhausted person, yet in the end, I'm still the one being bullied. I'm so

Esther said, "It's great that you want to work, and I totally support that. I just want to make sure you don't feel pressured living with Abigail. Even if she can't support you, remember, I'm here too. I have a stable job and earn a good income, so don't worry about money."Lucia asked, "What do I need to know for your comic convention job? Can I do it?"Esther replied, "You just need to know a lot about different comics. We've read tons together, so you're definitely qualified."Lucia started to say, "So I—"Esther interrupted, "Totally, you can do it. Come with me tomorrow and we'll see."Lucia said, "Alright."Esther suggested, "Let's go help Abigail open gifts and see what Grandma got her."Lucia said, "It's obvious that Margaret really cares about my sister."Esther replied, "Ever since Grandma got a granddaughter-in-law, my brother and I feel like we're just foundlings, and only Abigail is her real grandchild."Margaret overheard and responded, "What do you mean foundlin

Malcolm said, "Don't be fooled by her cleverness, Margaret."Margaret replied, "The Zane family business is vast, and it's beneficial that Abigail is smart enough to help manage it alongside Xander."Malcolm asked, "So you believe everything she does is right?"Margaret nodded. "Yes."Malcolm did not know what to say next.Abigail said, "Could you two fake a fight a little better? Don't insult our intelligence like that."Malcolm replied, "We're really arguing, not pretending."This remark was obviously ironic, and Susanna could not help but burst into laughter.Malcolm asked, "Even you want to make fun of me, Susanna?"Susanna said with a smile, "I'm not laughing at you. I just think it's nice to see you young people gathered together, chatting and being noisy. It makes the apartment so lively."Susanna had been working for the Zane family for many years, often guarding Xander's big house all by herself, with no one to talk to. So, it was rare for her to have such a lively d

Abigail picked up the little guy, who was surprisingly heavy for his size. As she lifted him, he leaned in and gave Abigail a big smooch on the cheek."I really like you, ma'am.""I really like you too."Abigail carried the little boy toward the property management office, totally forgetting that Xander was still behind her. The boy sensed that the man behind them was not too happy about him."Ma'am, the man behind us doesn't seem to like me."Xander was speechless, thinking, 'Why does she get to be called ma'am, and I'm just "the man"?'Abigail suddenly remembered that she was supposed to be walking with Xander. She had been so distracted by the adorable boy that she forgot about Xander, which explained his annoyed expression. She approached Xander, carrying the boy."I'm sorry. This little guy is just too cute," she admitted. "I totally forgot about you for a moment." As she continued talking, Xander's expression grew even more irritated. "Don't be mad. Smile, so you don't sca
