Chapter 1240


    Abigail whispered, “What’s going on? He’s not even saying a word?”


    “Oh, Ms. Fox, I’m sorry!” Aaron’s manager followed behind, trying to exin. “Aaron didn’t mean to


    ignore you!”


    Abigail paused, asking, “Then what did he mean?”


    ‘Of course, he was afraid to talk to you!’ the manager thought.


    The manager forced augh and said, “He’s preupied. He went to check his studio for any signs of


    tax evasion!”


    Abigail felt like turning into a statue on the spot.


    “Still pretending after all this?” Lina’s yful voice came from behind.


    Abigail quickly turned around and spotted Lina, elegantly dressed in a red embroidered dress that


    showcased her grace.


    Lina walked over,ughing at Abigail’s ruined cake.


    “You two are so obvious that even outsiders can see it clearly. Why are you both hiding and avoiding


    instead?”


    “W-We’re not…” Abigail blushed. “Jacob… He couldn’t possibly…”


    “Couldn’t possibly like you?” Lina sighed. “If he doesn’t like you, then why is he so hostile toward


    Aaron? They don’t know each other at all. There’s no reason for it.”


    Abigail lowered her head and fell silent. She had her own concerns. Dating in the entertainment


    industry wasn’t easy. If her rtionship with Jacob were exposed, it would bring unnecessary troubleThis content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    for him. Even if they wanted to stay together, would the fans and paparazzi leave them alone?


    Regr people could hold hands in public when they dated, but not her. Every detail of her rtionship


    would be scrutinized. They would be rumored to have broken up and reconciled countless times.


    Jacob might have a good temper, but he probably wouldn’t handle all of that well. He needed a quiet


    life, not one under the spotlight day in and day out.


    Taking a deep breath, Abigail forced a smile.


    “Never mind.” She spoke softly. “I’m a contracted artist of Imperial Media now. I just want to serve the


    company well and make money… We’ll leave the rest to fate!”


    “Hey, Abigail—” Before Lina could finish her words, Abigail made an excuse about having a schedule

    Lina stood alone, muttering, “I was going to say that I’d throw a party for youter if you’re willing to be


    a bit bolder…”


    Zuko approached from behind and gently held Lina’s slender waist. “What’s wrong?”


    There seemed to be a hint of mncholy in Lina’s eyes.


    Lina sighed lightly, looking at him. “When will Abigail and Jacob admit their feelings for each other?”


    Zuko chuckled. “You can’t rush these things.”


    Lina said, “I’m afraid I won’t see it happen before I go abroad for further studies.”


    “They both have their own concerns and might not be ready to talk about it.” Zukoforted her.


    “There’s no rush. Let’s wait and see!”


    He looked at the engagement ring on Lina’s finger. Naturally, he had no mood to worry about other


    people’s matters today. He was too excited, after all.


    “From today on, you’re my fiancee.” He rubbed her nose and smiled tenderly. “There’s only one step


    left before I take you home as my wife!”


    “Who said that?” Lina teased. “It might be two or three steps, depending on your performance!”


    “Oh…” Zuko squinted and suddenly grabbed the back of her head.


    Before Lina could react, she was caught in his deep kiss as he enveloped her in his arms.


    When he finally let her go, she buried her red face in his chest, not daring to look around.


    Zuko chuckled. “Mrs. Hamerton-to-be, are you happy with this performance of mine?”
