Married At First Sight Chapter 3969 Chapter 3969

Huyoniville had another snowfall as the New Year began, blanketing the city in a crisp, white layer of winter magic.

Evan arrived in town with a plan. After a restful day at the hotel, he picked up the New Year gifts Sam had prepared and rented a luxury car. Determined to make an impression, he loaded the car with gifts and headed to the Du family mansion.

But fate had other plans. Abby had gone on a trip with her eldest sister and some cousins, and Evan found himself turned away at the door. Mr. Du, Abby's father, had outright rejected the gifts.

Having learned that the woman Evan truly loved was his daughter, Mr. Du had anticipated Evan's return to pursue her again. Not one to take chances, Mr. Du had convinced Abby to go on a trip to ensure Evan would leave empty-handed.

Abby, however, had her own reasons for the getaway. She missed her master and her brothers and sisters, so she decided to take her cousins to visit them. Surrounded by lively chatter and the warmth of companionship, she barely gave Evan a thought.

Evan, on the other hand, waited patiently. He bided his time until the tenth day of the first lunar month-the day the Du Group resumed work after the holiday. As vice president, Abby had no choice but to attend the New Year's opening meeting, and Evan knew this would be his chance.

When Abby's secretary informed her that Evan wanted to meet, she initially considered refusing. However, she eventually agreed, instructing her secretary to let him in.

Evan arrived bearing gifts: a massive bouquet of roses and an exquisite set of jewelry, an apology wrapped in elegance. He knew he had wronged Abby, unintentionally bruising her self-esteem by not realizing that Abby and "Fox" were one and the same. It was time to make amends.

As for Abby's own secrets, Evan decided to let them slide. After all, if he pressed the issue, he might risk losing her altogether.

A few moments later, Evan stood outside Abby's office door. With the bouquet in one hand and the bag containing the jewelry in the other, he knocked softly.

"Come in," came Abby's clear, confident voice.

Evan stepped inside.

Abby sat behind her half-moon-shaped desk, surrounded by piles of documents demanding her attention. As the Du Group's vice president, her schedule was relentless. Between business meetings and maintaining her public image, she barely had a moment to spare.

When she heard footsteps, Abby glanced up, her eyes locking on Evan. She noted the bouquet and the luxurious box he carried and couldn't help but smile faintly. Leaning back in her black swivel chair, she closed the folder she had been working on and teased him, a glint of mischief in her eyes. "Well, well. What brings the great Fourth Young Master York to my humble office? Did the sun rise in the west today?"

Her words carried a sharp edge, a subtle jab at their recent history. Evan, however, took it in stride, unfazed by her pointed remarks.

He approached her desk with a smile, holding out the bouquet. "Abby, these flowers are for you. May you stay as radiant as they are, with a spirit as beautiful as ever."

Abby raised an eyebrow and quipped, "Even without this bouquet, I'm still as radiant as a flower."

Evan chuckled. "That's true. Our Abby is a natural beauty, unmatched in grace and charm."

"You really do have a way with words," Abby replied, accepting the flowers with a mix of amusement and suspicion. "Now, tell me, Mr. York, what's the real reason for this visit? Your sudden gesture is making me suspicious. I haven't seen you in a while, and I'm fairly certain I haven't offended you recently. Also, please remember to call me Miss Du. Only my family calls me Abby, and we're not exactly family, are we?"
