Of course, Melody knew Abigail cared about her. She knew Abigail would not bother asking if it were someone else.Since both of them were here, Melody told them everything about her boyfriend, "He's from North Florivera too. He lives in Jand Town. He's an only child. His parents own a mini market. And their business isn't bad. They have two housing units in Jand Town. His parents are living in one of them. And they're leaving the other one for him to move into when he's married. He attended university in Florivera, just like us. After he graduated, he stayed in Florivera to work. He's currently working at FloodTech."FloodTech was a technology startup in Florivera that had been growing rapidly in recent years. Reportedly, they had great employee benefits. Whoever worked ten years and above in the company could receive dividends.However, no matter how well a company was, the personal qualities of an employee could not be judged based on their job.Abigail asked again, "What's his p

"Many people were afraid and terrified of him because he personally sent his father to jail. But there were many people who didn't believe in his capabilities because he was too young. Countless people wanted to take the Zane Corporation away from him. He had a lot of enemies at that time."The project in Alvonia was the key project for him to revive the Zane Corporation. It was also an opportunity for him to show the world his capabilities. But the project was huge. Many people wanted to take on the project, not only him."After rounds and rounds of competition, his chances of getting the project grew larger. When the competitors realized that, they started to use dirty tricks on him as they couldn't win against him above board.""That has something to do with Mr. Zane's illness now?" Samuel knew about that incident. But Xander sent him for another mission at that time. So, he did not go to Alvonia with them. And that was why he did not know how dangerous the incident was.Dr. San

Abigail thought, 'He didn't reply to my text. It might be because he hasn't seen it yet. Or maybe the text is delayed.'I guess he'll answer my call if I call him.'I just want to make sure he's fine!'But when she called Nathan's phone number, she heard a cold, emotionless machine voice on the phone. "The number you've dialed is switched off. Please call again later."Abigail thought, 'His phone is switched off!'Why did he switch it off?'The uneasy emotion quickly grew in Abigail's heart.She did not want to think negatively. She kept comforting herself by telling herself that Nathan must be sleeping and that he would reply to her when he was awake later.But it was not working. The uneasy emotion continued to spread in her heart. It rapidly spread to every part of her body. It made her hand that was holding the phone slightly tremble."Abigail, come and have a walk in the yard with me." Cassandra had already noticed long ago that Abigail was unsettled the whole day today.

Cassandra asked again, "The two of you think you two are still young, that's why you guys don't want to have a child yet? Or are you guys following the 'dual income, no kids' trend and never planning to have a kid?""Grandma, I want to have a kid. But I want to wait for a few more years. I want to only have a kid after my career is more stable and my financial situation improves. I don't want my kid to be born with everything worse off than other people." Abigail was not planning to follow that trend. She quite liked kids.Abigail thought, 'I just bought an apartment. And my career is growing. If I had a kid now, I wouldn't be able to follow Xander everywhere to work. And I'd definitely have to quit my job.'I put in a lot of effort to beat my competitors and finally managed to get the assistant to the CEO of the Zane Corporation job. I don't want to quit this job because of having a child.'Cassandra said, "Nate will be twenty-nine this year-end. And you'll be twenty-five this yea

Cassandra answered, "Nothing's wrong. I just want to have a great-grandchild. You can go ahead and give birth to a child. After the child is born, Margaret and I will help you to look after your child. If you don't feel safe leaving the kid with us, we'll find the best nanny to take care of the child... In any case, it'll definitely not affect your work."Abigail patiently explained to Cassandra, "Grandma, it's not that I'm not willing to give birth to a child. It's just that I really can't give birth to one now. The workplace has many requirements for women. Some companies even have rules saying female workers can't have a child within a few years of joining."Although my company doesn't have this rule, my job is special. I have to follow my boss everywhere. If I have a child, I surely can't handle such high-intensity work. I worked very, very hard to get this job. I don't want to just give it up."Cassandra could understand Abigail's perspective. But she felt Abigail's life was mo
