Chapter 26 They Always Showed Affection Towards Each Other
He bent down to kiss the corner of her lips when, at that moment, the office door was pushed open.
“Mr. Russell…” Troy walked in and witnessed this scene.
The man gazed affectionately at the girl on the sofa, slowly approaching, wanting to give her a kiss.
The usually abstinent Russell surprisingly stole a kiss from the girl while she was asleep.
Russell glanced coldly at Troy, who performed an instant disappearing act.
He turned back and looked at Zoey’s sleeping face again. The girl had fair and tender skin, with slightly parted lips that revealed her pink little tongue. The sweet scent of cake mixed with her natural fragrance, and without any defense, it entered the man’s nostrils.
Russell couldn’t help but approach again. Suddenly, he stopped and glanced at the door, afraid that someone would come in and ruin everything.
When he made sure that no one else would come in, he turned his head and leaned closer.
The next second, the two of them locked eyes.
Russell didn’t expect Zoey to wake up at this moment. He was

about to get up when his dark blue patterned tie was grabbed.
Zoey smiled and twirled her finger around the tie, “What were you doing just now?”
Russell remained indifferent, “I noticed a eyelash on your face, and I wanted to blow it away for you.”
“Mr. Maddox, has anyone ever told you that your excuses were terrible?” Zoey tilted her head slightly, “Are you trying to kiss me?”
“No,” Russell said without changing his expression, “You misunderstood me.”
Zoey blinked her eyes, “Really?”
The man nodded lightly.
Zoey pouted, “Well, it turns out I was overthinking.”
Russell looked at her disappointed expression and found it amusing. He knew she was pretending, but he couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
“Okay, I was just kidding.”
He held the girl’s chin and was about to kiss her.
Just at that moment, the office door was pushed open again.
“Troy, you had better…”
Russell didn’t finish his sentence when he turned around and came face to face with a familiar face.

“Russell, it’s me,” the girl in a Chanel dress walked in and saw the scene in front of her. The smile on her face froze for a moment, but quickly recovered.
She looked at the two people in front of her with a smile on her face, and Zoey felt a little embarrassed.
She pushed Russell, who stopped in his tracks. His gloomy face. softened, and he sat up straight, pulling Zoey up. “When did you come back?”
Abigail Maddox raised her lips and said, “I came to find you as soon as I got off the plane, thinking of attending my grandmother’s banquet with you! Who is this?”
She looked at Zoey and asked proactively.
Russell glanced at her, supposed to introduce Abigail first, but he turned to Zoey instead. “Zoey, this is Braylen’s eldest daughter, Abigail.”
Zoey smiled faintly, “Hello, Abigail.”
“Abigail, this is your aunt Zoey,” Russell spoke.
Because Abigail’s film crew was in the deep mountains and they had to finish shooting, she couldn’t make it to the engagement banquet. However, she heard about what happened at the engagement banquet and afterwards from Aubrie.
She thought Russell’s marriage was just a facade, after all, this man had always been serious and distant, indifferent to everyone.
Just a moment ago, the scene completely overturned her

perception of Russell.
The man who was not of this world not only laughed, but also sought kisses.
Abigail looked at the Buddhist beads wrapped around Zoey’s wrist and involuntarily clenched her handbag. She managed to conceal her surprise and unwillingness very well, saying, “Aunt Zoey.”
“Hello,” Zoey naturally knew Abigail, she was Braylen’s foster daughter.
Braylen’s comrade once served as his driver. In a car accident, his comrade sacrificed himself by intentionally crashing the driver’s side into a large truck to save Braylen. Before passing away, he entrusted his daughter to him.
Braylen knew the hardships of comrades. He himself was an orphan since childhood, and his wife was also an orphan. She died during childbirth, leaving behind their only daughter. So, after the comrade’s passing, Braylen brought home four–year- old Abigail Gilmore and renamed her Abigail Maddox. She became the older sister of Carolyn, who was only one year old at the time.
But three years ago, Carolyn fell down the stairs and lost consciousness, gradually fading away from the upper class circle. Abigail then became the only young lady of the Maddox family.
Abigail, with her beautiful appearance, got accepted into a film and television university. Even before graduating, she signed a contract with Braeden’s film and television company.
Chapter 26 They Always Showed Altection Towards Each Other
Although she was an adopted daughter, she was still a part of the Maddox family, so Braeden gave her many advertisements, endorsements, and even cast her as the leading actress in a drama.
In addition to being supported by capital, Abigail herself was also very talented and became the youngest Best Actress in history.
After Nelson established Born Beauty, he wanted to poach her.
He believed that they were all part of the Maddox family, and Abigail would give him face, but Abigail refused and said she would not leave View Entertainment.
In the past, when Zoey was Russell’s secretary, Abigail would come to see Russell as long as she wasn’t filming.
Later, for some unknown reason, Abigail was sent abroad and disappeared without a trace, as if she had evaporated from the earth.
Abigail blinked her eyes and said, “Uncle, have you had dinner?”
Russell did not answer and turned to look at Zoey.
Zoey snapped out of it and shook her head, “Not yet.”
“I didn’t eat either, let’s eat together.”
Russell looked at Zoey again.
Zoey ignored his resistant expression and nodded, “Okay, let’s go together.”
Anyway, they are all going to Marlene’s birthday banquet.

Troy booked a table at a Michelin three–star restaurant and drove them there.
Abigail sat in the passenger seat and just as she was about to turn around and talk to Russell, she saw a partition rise up.
She asked, puzzled, “Troy, what does this mean?”
Troy laughed and said, “Mr. and Mrs. Maddox always flaunted their love, which was too torturous for us single people.”
Abigail’s eyelashes trembled, and her nails dug into her- handbag.
The partition separated the carriage into two enclosed spaces.
Zoey, sitting in the backseat of the car, held Russell’s arm and asked, “What do you think they thought we were doing?”
Russell’s narrow eyes flicked up at the corners, “We’re married with a certificate, everything we do is legal.”
Zoey’s heart skipped a beat, and her long eyelashes blinked.
Russell lifted the girl’s chin with his fingertips, as he watched her cheeks turn red. “What are you thinking about?” he asked.
Zoey pursed her lips and said, “It’s nothing.”
“Why did you just ignore my gaze?” he asked.
“I didn’t ignore it,” Zoey smiled, “You also said that I am her aunt, and I am going to spend my whole life with you, so for the first meeting, I have to treat her to a meal, right?”
The girl’s voice was gentle and soft, stirring his heart with every

word.
A lifetime.
A lifetime.
A hint of joy flashed in Russell’s eyes, as if he had thought of something. He suddenly looked at her meaningfully and said, “So, what about the impotent things they say about me? Don’t you have any thoughts on that?”
Zoey shook her head, “Since I chose you, I would accept everything about you, both the strengths and weaknesses. Besides, isn’t Platonic love a good thing?”
Russell gazed at her with deep and mysterious eyes, as if he wanted to discern a hint of deception.
But there was none!
Zoey looked into his eyes, which were shining and sincere.
Russell’s Adam’s apple rolled, “Zoey, remember what you said.”
Zoey nodded solemnly, “Forever.”
The car stopped at the entrance of the Michelin three stars Restaurant, Troy got off and opened the door, and handed over the wheelchair.
Russell moved onto the wheelchair, and Zoey pushed him.
Abigail watched the scene and noticed that the lip gloss at the corner of Zoey’s lips had smudged, indicating that she had been kissed.
Chapter 26 They Always Showed Affection Towanda
Her face instantly looked ugly.
They entered the restaurant and three people sat in a position next to the floor–to–ceiling window.
Zoey went to the bathroom and while she was washing her hands, she received a photo from Leanna.
[Did you know that your husband was dating another woman? There are pictures to prove it!]
Zoey, [how did you know?]
Leanna, [I was on the second floor, this man was impotent, and yet he still flirts everywhere!]
Zoey smirked, walked out of the restroom, and returned to the dining table.
She sat beside Russell and threw a flirtatious glance at Leanna on the second floor.
Leanna, [I didn’t realize you were here too! But after you left, that woman kept initiating conversations with your husband. Even though your husband didn’t even look up, be careful, her gaze towards your husband was different!]
Zoey, [understood.]
Just now in Russell’s office, she noticed Abigail’s surprised and resentful expression when she looked at her Buddhist beads. Although it quickly concealed, her female intuition told her that Abigail’s feelings towards Russell may not have been as simple as just seeing him as an uncle.
“What are you looking at?” Russell wrapped his arm around her
Chapter 26 They Always Showed Affection Towards Each Other
waist.
Zoey smiled and closed her phone, “It’s nothing, I just saw some interesting gossip.”
“Would you like to share it?”
“It’s celeberity gossip, you wouldn’t be interested,” Zoey brushed it off.
Russell saw that she didn’t want to speak and didn’t ask any further.
The waiter brought the ordered meal.
Russell and Zoey started cutting the steak. When they handed. the cut steak to each other, they couldn’t help but smile.
Abigail watched the scene of the two of them being so in sync, she pursed her lips and looked at Zoey.
“Zoey, can I join you guys to do the styling later?”
Zoey smiled faintly and said, “Okay.”
Russell’s patience grew thin as he noticed Zoey’s attention shifting back to her.
Zoey noticed and playfully held his hand, soothingly.
“If I had known you were going to do it too, I would have just called the stylist to Serene Manor directly. Carolyn is also there, and if she were awake, she would definitely want to go to the birthday banquet looking beautiful.”
“Carolyn?” Abigail paused, “You said?”

Russell lifted his eyelids abruptly and said, “Carolyn is livng in
Serene Manor now.”
“What?” Abigail exclaimed.
