Chapter 383

From a hidden comer. Abigail silently peeked at Winnie and Josiah leaving together.

What kind of person is she? Her husband is drunk, and she isn't taking care of him. Instead, she's going on a walk with another man! What's worse is that the man is her husband's best friend! Isn't she blatantly cheating on her husband right now?

Anger coursed through Abigail at the thought. She deemed Winnie to be an unfit wife to Xavier.

After pacing around the kitchen for a while, she filled a glass of water, stealthily left the kitchen when the housekeepers weren't paying attention, and made a beeline to the guest bedroom Xavier was resting in.

The first thing Abigail saw after stepping into the room was Xavier sprawled across the bed.

She hurriedly crossed the room over to the bed. After setting the glass on the nightstand, she eagerly climbed onto the bed and lay beside him.

She couldn't help but sigh as she studied liis handsome face.

“Oh, heavens! How can such a perfect man like you exist in this world?” Abigail reached her right hand out and traced Xavier's features without actually touching him. Completely infatuated with him, she sighed. “You're handsome and rich. Did you save an entiie galaxy in your past life to gain such desirable attributes? Why couldn't I have met you earlier?”

She was already drunk despite only catching the stench of alcohol from him. Dnmkenly in love with Xavier, she continued, “If you had met me earlier, Winnie might not have even been in the picture. I'm not half as bad as her after dressing up. I'm good at cheering people up, and I'm obedient. I'll do everything you tell me to.”

With no response from Xavier, she began to call his name tentatively.

When she realized Xavier wasn't conscious, she became bolder to the extent of secretly planting a kiss on his cheek.

Still in a drunken daze. Xavier thought it was Winnie, so he pulled Abigail closer to him by cupping the back of her head.

It was Abigail's first time being in such proximity to a man. On top of that, the man was Xavier. She could feel her heart hammering fiercely in her chest.
