Abigail reached Lilian’s place and both Serena and Lilian were delighted to see her.Serena hugged her so tightly that Abigail felt as if she was squeezing out her breath, “Oh, my… I am so happy to know that you married Xander. Now you are Mrs. Reid… Huh… You are a lucky girl.”“Thank you, aunt. You are squeezing me…” Abigail released her voice with great difficulty.Serena let go of her and laughed, rubbing her arms up and down, “I am so excited to see you. Stay here and have lunch with us. We will chat some more about Xander.” She winked at her before going away.Abigail wanted to deny her, but she had already left and Lilian threw herself on her, “Oh my God, Abi. I can’t believe that you

Xander continued kissing her on her neck and shoulder and whispered again, "I want you so bad."“Charles…” She was so lost that she forgot to call him Xander.Xander ceased his action abruptly and stared at her with disbelief. Even if her voice was low, he heard her vaguely call Charles. The desire to love her awash instantly.“What did you say?”Abigail gawked at him with her wide eyes, dumbstruck.

I've kept my mouth shut all these years just because of the safety of my grandson. But I will not keep silent anymore. I will tell everyone what he did to my daughter back then and expose him to the public.”Stacy got up to leave so

The next morning, the first thing Abigail did was to call Xander. Her heart was pounding inside her ribcage wildly while the phone was ringing. Her fingertips were cold. Even though she made a call, she was still concerned about how to ask him for money.Eventually, the call connected after a long ring, “Hello…”His hoarse voice came out of the phone. It seemed as if he hadn't woken up yet.Abigail was astounded. Her eyes moved to the wall clock immediately. It was 9 in the morning. Normally, he would wake up early and get some exercise. She wondered why he was asleep up to now.Could it be that he was not well?Abigail’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley when she thought about it. She opened her

That afternoon, Abigail reached Rose's café and saw Stacy sitting at the corner table. Her eyes went cold and her grip on the purse tightened to see Stacy. Taking a deep breath, she went towards her.Stacy smiled as she noticed Abigail entering. She stared at her with great interest. Abigail was nothing but a golden egg-laying goose to her.All these years, she stayed away from the capital city because of the threat of Riley. But that day, Zac came and asked her to come back. Together, they could create problems for the Reids.Initially, she didn’t agree with him, fearing that Riley would hurt her grandson. But Zac explained that it could be Owen's plan to keep her out of the city.They all knew Sarah and her child died back then. But later, David came and i
