"What hardships had he been through when he was young?" Abigail only knew Nathan had a grandmother. He had never mentioned his parents to her. She did not ask him about it either.Just like her, she had never mentioned anyone in her family to Nathan other than her grandmother.Nathan did not talk about his family. So, Abigail thought his parents might not be around anymore, just like her. She thought that was the reason why he was raised by Margaret."Shortly after his mother gave birth to him, his father had another child with his mistress. After that, his mother started to fool around too. Not long after, she had another child with another man. Nathan has a sister from the same parents. She was conceived when their parents were drunk in their hometown. Their parents didn't love her as she was an unwanted child. So, Nathan took care of her instead. When he was slightly older, he took on all the responsibilities of the family when he was a teenager." Esther was sad when she talked a

Abigail texted back swiftly.Abigail: [Of course, when we meet, I'll let you hold me.]Staring at the reply, Xander was not sure how to respond. Given his current relationship with Abigail as Xander, there was no chance she would let him hold her. As for when he could face her as Nathan, he did not know how much longer that would take. The wait for an open, honest embrace seemed indefinite. Maybe a month, maybe a year, maybe even longer. But he did not want to wait another moment. He yearned to hold her now.His fingers tapped the screen swiftly, and he sent another message.Xander: [Abigail, I want to hold you right now.]Abigail promptly sent back a few "hug" emojis.Xander: [What I want is a real hug, not emoji hugs.]Abigail: [Ah, we're thousands of miles apart, how can we hug?]Xander: [Right now, we can't. But remember, you owe me a hug. When we meet, I'll claim it back twofold.]Standing at the entrance to the kitchen, Xander looked at Abigail's slender figure. He knew

It was no secret that Abigail's first thought in any situation was inevitably Xander. Esther playfully protested, "Abigail, that's unfair. We all made the ravioli together, why does my brother get the first taste?"Abigail replied with a laugh, "Because Mr. Zane is my boss, and in my world, he always comes first. Everyone else has to step aside."Esther promptly asked, "So, what if it's between my brother and Nathan? Who would come first in your heart?""How can you compare?" Abigail asked, a woman who always kept her work and personal life separate. With her straightforward nature, she was not afraid to voice her thoughts. "Nathan is my husband, my closest companion. If all goes well, we'll be spending decades together. In my personal life, my first thoughts might be of Nathan, or perhaps my grandmother or my two close childhood friends, Felix and Melody. As for Mr. Zane, he's my superior, my employer, and someone I deeply respect. In matters related to work, he'd certainly be my f

The more Abigail kept mum about this, the more Esther wanted to know her stand on love. "Say something, Abigail. There are only the three of us today, so you can freely say what you think about love.""Everyone has their own view on romantic relationships, my view is but my opinion alone and doesn't amount to much," said Abigail as she looked at Xander who was sitting at the same table. Him not looking at her made her feel like he was not interested in her opinion at all."We just want to know your opinion on this, especially my brother." Esther tugged at Xander's sleeves. "Stop stuffing yourself full of ravioli and say something, Brother."Xander raised his head. He obviously cared about Abigail's view, but he acted indifferent. "Well, we're both married individuals, and should occasionally discuss how we manage our marriage so we can make our married life more fulfilling."Abigail immediately felt the mood change from a dinner on Easter night to a meeting where she was asked to s

"Alright. I'll start preparing once I'm done washing the dishes." Abigail was a little disappointed for not being able to see the snowy night scene in Paridale Tower, but it was far from important as her work."Why are you busy working instead of being with your wife, Brother?" asked Esther, rolling her eyes in anger. "Can't you reject him even just for once, Abigail? Executive assistants are still humans after all, not robots. What's the point of working every day of the year? Didn't anyone tell you that earning money is so you can more effectively spend it?"Having the spirit of an employee, Abigail would prioritize working for her own keep over anything else. "We'd still have to earn money before we have any to spend with. Where else would the money come from otherwise?""Are the both of you working with each other to piss me off? Fine, I'll leave. I'll not get in the way of your work anymore," exclaimed an angry Esther as she huffed and puffed away downstairs while yelling, "Oth
