Chapter 107 Seems to Be In Love
Anthony handed her the water, and Michelle took the glass, casually taking hold of his hand.
Anthony didn’t pull away and just looked at her.
“Anthony, I know it hasn’t been easy for you lately. You’re still recovering, yet you’re back at work. Abigail has divorced you now, leaving the kid and your mother unattended. I’m willing to shoulder the burden with you.”
Michelle lowered her head slightly, looking as if there was more she wanted to say but couldn’t.
Anthony knew exactly what she meant.
He was strange. Back when he was still married to Abigail, he kept thinking about how wonderful Michelle was.
He was sure that if he ever did split up with Abigail, he’d waste no time getting together with Michelle.
But now that the divorce was final, seeing Michelle didn’t ignite that same urge.
In fact, these past few days, he found himself thinking about Abigail more often.
Michelle noticed his hesitation and stood, facing him directly.

“Anthony, please give me another chance to be with you. I don’t want this vague, unclear relationship anymore.”
Anthony still didn’t reply, lowering his gaze.
Seeing this, Michelle resorted to her usual tactics.
“Is it because you think I haven’t fully recovered?”
He was afraid she might misunderstand and quickly explained, “No, it’s not that. Don’t overthink it.”
Michelle seized the moment and hugged him outright.
“Then why won’t you just admit we’re together? I used to think it was because of Abigail, but now that you’re divorced, can’t we finally be together?”
“I…”
Anthony trailed off.
He wasn’t even sure what was holding him back.
Hearing this, Michelle sighed softly, “I’ll give you time to think it over, but please don’t make me wait too long.”
She tightened her embrace, her tears soaking into his shirt.
“Even if I don’t know how much time I have left, I’d give anything to spend even a single day with you.”

Her heartfelt words caused Anthony to tremble.
Finally, he raised his hand and returned the embrace.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Abigail had prepared a lavish meal at home.
Vivian and Vanessa were thoroughly enjoying it.
After dinner, in hopes of giving them a chance to rest, Felix accompanied Abigail back to her place.
Although they had shared the same space before, the idea of spending the night together made things feel awkward.
3/8
Abigail tried to keep her composure as she brought out a blanket and set it in the smaller room.
“Mr. Rowe, would you like some hot milk?”
Felix sat silently on the couch and said nothing.
Abigail had been trying all day to ignore his sour demeanor, but now that they were in a room, his mood was beginning to affect her.
Thinking this, Abigail decided to approach him and ask about it.
“Is something bothering you? Or did I do something wrong?”
Her earnest question caught Felix’s attention, and he looked at
Chapter 107 Seems to Be In Love her directly.
“What do you think?”
Abigail felt an inexplicable annoyance rise within her at his response.
4/8
At that moment, she remembered all the times Anthony had treated her the same way, silent, passive–aggressive, and full of pointed questions.
She had thought Felix was nothing like Anthony.
But his reaction to a bad mood turned out to be the same.
Feeling frustrated, she let her irritation show.
“If I did something wrong, just say so. Even if you’re my boss, you don’t have to treat me like this every single day.”
Felix was caught off guard by her retort.
At first, he paused slightly, and in the next moment, it seemed as though he had realized something.
He stood abruptly.
“Abigail, I… I’m not trying to give you the cold manner. It’s just…”
He thought, “It’s just that I’m not sure what role I’m supposed to play after what you said last night.”
Chapter 107 Seems to Be In Love
He didn’t like hearing her talk about finding someone else.
But on reflection, he realized it wasn’t her fault.
It was his own possessiveness at work.
5/8
But his possessiveness required a defined relationship to justify
- it.
Without that, it became silent resentment.
“What?” Abigail looked at him.
Felix lowered his head, at a loss for words.
He certainly couldn’t admit that he was jealous.
Felix didn’t say anything.
Abigail didn’t press him further. After all, he was her boss.
She spoke first, “I know I might be clumsy at times and not the ideal assistant, but I hope that if I do something wrong, you’ll tell me directly instead of making me guess. I really can’t read your mind.”
With that, she grabbed her coat and headed toward the door.
Felix glanced at the clock. It was only a little after six, but it was already dark outside.
Chapter 107 Seems to Be In Love “Where are you going? I’ll go with you.”
Before Abigail could answer, Vanessa knocked on the door.

Abigail opened it to find Vanessa standing there. “Abigail, are you heading out? Am I interrupting something?”
Abigail shook her head, smiling gently, “What’s up, Vanessa?”
Vanessa glanced at Felix. “With the court date approaching, my mother and I are really inexperienced with these things. We were hoping Mr. Rowe might spare some time to go over what we need to know.”
Abigail turned to Felix. “They need you. Do you have time?”
Felix looked at Abigail, wanting to offer to go with her, but the ….rds wouldn’t come.
At that moment, saying anything else felt awkward.
Abigail added, “I’m just going to see Amy. She’s close by. I’ll be back soon.”
Hearing that, Felix relaxed.
He’d been worried that he had driven her
away.
And so, Felix returned inside to help Vivian and Vanessa, while Abigail headed downstairs.
She had sent Amy several messages throughout the day.
Chapter 107 Seems to Be In Love
But there had been no response. Amy hadn’t picked up her phone, either.
Fearing that something might have happened, Abigail went straight to the bar.
Under normal circumstances, Amy would be at the bar at this time of night.
But not today. She was nowhere to be found.
Abigail asked the bartender if he knew where Amy was.
7/8
The bartender put on an air of mystery and said, “Ms. Taylor, it seems my boss might be in love.”
ring this, Abigail froze. “What? In love?”
The bartender nodded enthusiastically.
“You didn’t know. Last night, she was acting all mysterious. She said no one was allowed in the wine cellar. This morning, when I went to open it, guess what I saw?”
Abigail’s curiosity was piqued when she heard this. “What did you see?”
With a mischievous grin, the bartender said, “I found she curled up in the wine cellar with that police officer you were hanging out with the other day. They spent the night together. Things got so heated they even knocked over a wine holder.”
