Married At First Sight Chapter 4021

Mrs. Du gently knocked on Abby's door, but there was no response.

"Abby probably went to bed early. Stop knocking-look at the time," Mr. Du said, lowering his voice as a reminder.

"It's late, and she's likely already asleep. Don't wake her."

Hearing this, Mrs. Du paused and sighed. "I just haven't seen her these past couple of days. | wanted to talk to

her, but if she's asleep, I'll have to wait until her next day off." The Du family mansion was large and spacious,

but the younger generation was always busy with work. They were often out early in the morning and returned

late at night. Even during the New Year holiday, true relaxation was a luxury. Social obligations and client

meetings dominated their schedules.

Though the Du Group was one of Huyoniville's largest corporations, they faced fierce competition. Their clients

were powerful, and their rivals were always lurking, ready to poach opportunities.

Maintaining strong relationships with clients was a necessity-part of the unspoken rules of business. Those who

understood the industry understood this reality all too well.

"If you miss her so much, just stop by the company and see her," Mr. Du suggested as they walked to their

bedroom.

"She's swamped at work," Mrs. Du replied. "If | go see her there, it'll interrupt her. She'll end up staying late to

catch up on work. | don't want to make things harder for her."

Mrs. Du's expression softened. "I just wanted to talk to her about Spencer's return. She agreed to pick him up at

the airport tomorrow. We've watched Spencer grow up-he's capable, kind, and has a good head on his shoulders.

Honestly, he's not much different from that kid from the York family." Mr. Du chuckled lightly as he opened their

bedroom door and flipped on the lights. "The Yorks are well-off, and Evan's no slouch. He's talented, but he's in

love with Fox, Abby's alter ego. There's something about that whole situation that feels... off." "What's so strange

about it? They're all part of the sstory," Mrs. Du replied, stepping into the room.

Mr. Du sat down and leaned back in his chair. "Well, we can give things a little nudge help things along subtly.

But don't overdo it. Abby still cares about him, even if she won't admit it outright."

Mrs. Du gave him a knowing look. "I understand. Spencer is wonderful, and our families have a deep bond. But

Spencer only sees Abby as a sister. Can't you tell? If they were ever going to fall in love, it would've happened by

now. Evan wouldn't even be in the picture." She was right. The Du and Chouinard families had been close for

years. Abby and Spencer had grown up together, yet their relationship had always been purely platonic. Evan, on

the other hand, had only met Abby last year.

After a brief pause, Mrs. Du sighed. "Yes, you're right. They've known each other for so long. If there was any

romantic spark between them, it would've surfaced by now."

"Let's see how Evan handles things," Mr. Du said reassuringly. "Our daughter isn't going to make it easy for him

this time, so we'll just sit back and watch."

Mrs. Du nodded in agreement. "Of course. Let's see how it all plays out."

Meanwhile, Abby was unaware that her parents had chhoping to see her. Instead, she had gone to

Evan's hotel.

The Du family's influence in Huyoniville made it easy for her to know everything Evan was up to, including where

he was staying.

When Abby arrived, Evan had just stepped out of the shower. He froze when he saw her- Fox, the woman he

couldn't stop thinking about.

But tonight, she wasn't wearing the red dress he had grown so used to seeing.

Abby sat casually at the table, flipping through a romance . It was one Evan had bought, hoping to learn

how fictional heroes won back their wives. Ironically, it was a "chasing-wifeto-the-ends-of-the-earth" story.

Evan's heart lifted at the sight of her. A smile tugged at his lips as he opened his mouth to call her "Fox," but

Zachary's words echoed in his mind.

He caught himself just in time. "Abby," he said instead.

Without even glancing up from the book, Abby smiled faintly. "It's just a shower, Evan. You're not drunk, so why

are you acting confused? Can't you tell who | am? Or is it because | changed my outfit that you can't recognize

me?" Her tone was playful, but there was an unmistakable edge beneath the teasing.

Evan stood there, momentarily stunned, unsure whether her words were meant to challenge him or mock him.

Either way, he knew one thing for certain-winning her back wouldn't be easy.
