Xander adjusted the silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, lit a cigarette and said, "You can scram now.""What kind of person chases a brother away without even giving them a drink after helping them out?" Shawn then sat on a sofa and said, "I'm not leaving today without that drink."Xander said, "Please pour a drink for Mr. Cooper, Susanna.""Does Mr. Cooper really need a drink? He doesn't look parched at all," replied Susanna in an unfriendly tone.Shawn retorted, "Are you trying to bully me as well, Susanna?"Susanna Whitlock was over fifty and had been with Xander since he was young. Xander and his friends never once saw her as a maid but more of an elder of the family that will occasionally nag at them. Susanna passed over his drink as she replied, "Why are you messing around together with our young master? What do you mean by being already half-divorced? You'd better be careful or Old Madam might just punish you."When Susanna heard Xander was getting married one
'I'm just her superior. So why would I rush over to the hospital when she only encountered a minor traffic accident and her husband is warmly by her side?' thought Xander. Immediately after, he called Malcolm. "How about a drink?"Malcolm replied, "I'll be there."Malcolm immediately knew Xander was feeling quite down the moment he saw him.After a few rounds, he asked, "Xander, why are you making your life so difficult over just an adulterous wife? You don't even have feelings for her."Xander snorted. "Is that woman even worth being sad over?"Malcolm asked, "Then why do you look so down?"Xander retorted, "Do I look down?"'You just need to write "I'm very sad" on your face to complete the look and yet you're still acting tough,' thought Malcolm inwardly though it was indeed quite shameful for a man to be cuckolded. Not wanting to hurt Xander's feelings any longer, he changed the topic. "It's been almost a month since you went to the West together with your junior personal as
Abigail finally convinced Felix and Melody to allow her not to spend the night at the hospital after eloquently talking to them about it. Melody was still nagging after they got into the car to go home. "Stinky Caterpie, you don't have any external wounds. But what if you have internal injuries? I went to buy daily necessities for you. And yet, you still didn't want to stay overnight in the hospital."Abigail pinched her face. "I'm fine. Why should I stay in the hospital? My bed at home is more comfortable than the bed in the hospital. I've been away from home for one and a half months. I didn't sleep well most nights. I miss my bed so much."Felix held the steering wheel tightly. He had a lingering fear as he said, "You were lucky tonight. It was so close. We almost might not be able to see you for the rest of our lives."After they had their grilled food earlier that night, Felix went to the car park to bring the car over while Melody went to the washroom. When Abigail was waiting
"Why did you come?" A hint of happiness flashed past his eyes when he saw Abigail. But it was doused when Abigail said, "It's my job."He coldly smiled. "You may go back. I'll ask my driver to pick me up."If it was back then, Abigail would have just listened to him and left. But today Xander was no longer the out-of-touch CEO of Zane Corporation in her eyes. He was merely an ordinary human who got hurt in love. She could not bear to just abandon him.Moreover, she heard Malcolm who was beside her say, "Xander, you're drunk. Just keep quiet and allow Ms. Renee to take you home."Abigail took the initiative to grab the car key. "Mr. Zane, let's go."While Abigail was driving, Xander who was sitting in the backseat squinted to look at the side of her face. She was very serious while she drove. She did not speak a word to him..."Ha..." he sneered.'Didn't cross her mind at all! Good one!'It's her job! Good one!'More than half an hour later, they arrived at the Monsoon Villa.
Abigail was frightened when she heard Xander say that. She instinctively took a step back to quickly distance herself from him.When he saw that she was clearly avoiding him, his eyes under the silver-rimmed glasses darkened. "You can't get a taxi at this villa area at night. There are guest rooms on the second floor. You can pick any room you like and stay for the night."Abigail was speechless.'So, this was what he meant. I had the wrong idea.'Xander stood up and grabbed a first aid kit. He took out a green medical cream from it. "Apply this on your wound after you shower.""Thank you, Mr. Zane!" Abigail unashamedly took the cream. But she felt that she did not need to stay there overnight.Although they would stay on different floors, she felt it was not right that they were alone. "I'm afraid that I'll disturb your rest. So, I shouldn't spend the night here."Xander said, "I'll sleep on the third floor. And you'll sleep on the second floor. How can you disturb me? Are your
After she prepared the ingredients, she heated the pan before she put the pork fat in it to fry it to get the oil. She then added the ingredients.A short while later, a bowl of appetizing and tasty bolognese sauce was ready.After the sauce was cooked, the water inside the pot next to it was boiled. Abigail then grabbed the spaghetti and put it inside the pot. After the pasta was cooked, she then quickly and loosely drained it into a colander in the sink.Finally, the pasta was ready. She then poured the hot, delicious bolognese sauce over the spaghetti.Abigail's skills surprised Susanna who was standing next to her.Nowadays, not many girls could cook. There were even fewer girls that could cook well.Abigail was gorgeous and could cook delicious food. Girls like her were very rare.Susanna felt snacky when she saw that big plate of flavorful pasta. "Ms. Renee, your husband is a very lucky man! He got to marry a beautiful girl that can cook so well."Abigail did not want to
"You're still pestering my brother. Haven't you shamed him enough? I'm telling you to get lost now. Get the hell out!"The girl was outraged when she scolded Abigail. Abigail was confused.Luckily, Xander spoke in time to stop her, "Esther Zane, do you know what you're talking about?! Apologize now!"His voice was gloomy. He did not allow her to fight back. He was imposing and powerful."Xander, you want me to apologize to this shameless woman?" In Esther's over twenty years of life, this was the first time Xander was so fierce to her. She felt wronged as she cried, "You were never fierce to me since I was a kid. But now you actually yelled at me for a woman who cheated."She burst into tears and her snot was flowing out. She cried heartbrokenly, "Xander, this woman slept with another man. Do you want to act as if nothing had happened?"Only now Abigail understood what was happening. Esther mistook her for someone else.She was so unlucky. Just because she worked alongside Xande
She called for Xander so sweetly, yet Xander did not even know her. It was considered to be Abigail's first time seeing Xander's method of rejecting the opposite sex. It was simple and effective, which left nothing to the imagination.The girl bit her lips from feeling wronged. Her eyes watered. "Xander, do you not remember me?"Esther saw her best friend being wronged by others and felt sorry for her. "Brother, she's Mallory. You used to hold her in your arms when you were younger. Besides, if it wasn't for that woman appearing, Mallory might've been your wife."Xander replied in a low tone, "Been my wife? Who told you that? If you talk such nonsense again in the future, you'll be grounded when we go home.""I'm fine, Esther. You shouldn't get into a fight with Xander because of me." Mallory felt so aggrieved that tears welled in her beautiful eyes, but she was unwilling to lower her head in defeat.No man could possibly resist her pitiful look, yet Xander did not fall for her tr
