Abby was silent for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure either. If Evan hadn't told me, I would've never known all this.
I've met Grandma York. Back when I visited the York family with my master, I had the chance to interact with her. She's such a kind and approachable woman-so easy to get along with, without the slightest hint of pressure. If you just look at her on the surface, you'd never guess how formidable she truly is. Grandma York commands the respect of even the Bucham family. My master treats her with utmost reverence, never daring to act superior. He once said that she was a force to be reckoned with in her younger years. She played a pivotal role in shaping the York family into what it is today. Just look at the eight outstanding grandsons she and the late Grandpa York raised. That alone speaks volumes about her greatness."
Mrs. Du interjected, "Doesn't the York family have nine young masters in this generation?"
Abby nodded. "Yes, but Evan, being the youngest, was primarily taught by his parents and older brothers. Grandma York did provide him with some guidance, but he wasn't raised under her direct care like the others.
As for the ninth young master, Rowan York, he's still in school and hasn't even reached adulthood yet. While it's clear he's destined for great things, to outsiders, it's too early to tell if he'll become a dragon or remain a worm."
Mrs. Du shifted her focus. "Abby, if Evan still loves you, why didn't you explain everything to him in the beginning? It could've saved both of you so much heartache."
Her mother's tone was full of concern. To Mrs. Du, whether it was Fox or Abby, they were one and the same. She couldn't help but think that being upfront might've spared her daughter some pain.
Abby sighed softly. "It's not that I'm sad, Mom. I was just... embarrassed. In our city,noveldrama
I've always been a proud and accomplished woman, someone with high self-esteem. But somehow, I ended up being outshined by my own disguise. Evan fell in love with Fox-my alias. He didn't even know my real name, what I looked like, or anything about my background. Losing to a version of myself that isn't even the real me? It's absurd. A little laughable, maybe even pathetic. But sad? Not really."
She paused, then smiled faintly. "Because deep down, I know the person Evan truly loves is still me."
Abby continued, "Evan told me he kept having the same dream over and over. In it, he was entangled with me. Then there was the photo Grandma York gave him-that was the real me. He said the photo felt different from the version of me he met in disguise, yet he couldn't resist being drawn to my alter ego."
Mrs. Du gasped. "That's unbelievable! You had never met before, yet he kept dreaming of you? Could it be that you two were connected in a previous life? Maybe you were husband and wife—or at least emotionally tied together. And now those feelings have carried over into this life?"
"Mom," Abby said, exasperated, "you've been watching way too many TV dramas."
Still, even she couldn't completely dismiss the strange circumstances. How could Evan dream about her when they had never met, and he hadn't even seen her photo back then? Could there really be such a thing as past lives? Were they tangled in unresolved emotions from before, only to meet again and pick up where they left off?
Mrs. Du sighed, still intrigued by the thought, but Abby quickly redirected the conversation.
Mr. Du finally chimed in, breaking the tension with a smile. "Well, no matter what the explanation is, that kid is yours to handle now. I just feel relieved that he didn't freeze out there for too long. If he'd gotten sick or injured, you would've been the one to suffer." Abby couldn't help but laugh. Just moments ago, her father was lamenting that Evan hadn't suffered enough in the cold, and now he was grateful the poor guy hadn't frozen to death. People really do change their minds quickly.
And with that, the weight of the conversation lifted slightly, leaving Abby with much to ponder as she faced the complexity of her intertwined fate with Evan.
