Married At First Sight Chapter 3950 Chapter 3950

Evan suspected that Abby and Fox were the same person. If that were true, then she was the only woman he had ever truly pursued. "He was out there freezing for over half an hour. Do you think he'll be alright?" Mr. Du asked, his voice carrying a mix of worry and sarcasm. Mrs. Du responded with a hint of amusement. "Abby had the butler prepare him a bowl of ginger soup before he left. Knowing Evan doesn't like spicy food, she made sure the butler added extra ginger-probably too much. The butler said Abby insisted he drink it before he went on his way."

Abby's father snorted. "He got off easy."

Abby rolled her eyes but didn't respond.

"Abby," Mr. Du pressed, leaning forward, "why did Evan come to see you? Was he trying to reconcile? If he's here to win you back, don't make it easy for him. Let him work for it-let him pursue you for at least two years before you even consider it. Things that are too easy to get are never appreciated. Make him earn it."

Abby sighed and shook her head. "Mom, Dad, you're both overthinking it. Evan didn't come here to ask for reconciliation. He came to ask me about another woman-his socalled sweetheart. He thinks I know where she is."

The mood in the room instantly darkened. Both of her parents' faces turned cold.

"He actually came here to ask about another woman?" Mr. Du's voice carried a sharp edge. "That boy has some nerve! I should've made him stand outside shirtless for half the day instead of just half an hour."

Mrs. Du muttered indignantly, "I shouldn't have wasted so much ginger in that soup.noveldrama

One little piece would've been enough. Why make it easier for him to recover?"

Abby chuckled at their reactions. "Actually, the woman he was asking about was me." Mr. Du stared at her, momentarily at a loss for words. Mrs. Du blinked in surprise before tilting her head curiously. "Wait, what? Abby, what do you mean? Evan's sweetheart is you? How could he not know that?"

Abby explained, "Back in the day, when I was traveling and working undercover, I had a few aliases. One of them was 'Hundred Changes Fox.' Evan fell in love with Fox, but he didn't realize Fox and I are the same person. So technically, he's been in love with me this whole time just the version of me wearing a 'mask.""

Mr. and Mrs. Du exchanged a look, their expressions a mix of surprise and amusement.

They always knew their daughter wasn't as reserved and proper as she appeared to be, but they hadn't realized the extent of her secret adventures or her collection of aliases.

"And Evan hasn't figured it out yet?" Mr. Du asked.

Abby sighed. "If he had, do you think we'd be in this situation? He has his suspicions, but he doesn't have proof. Grandma York and Serenity probably know the truth, but they're keeping it to themselves. They're just sitting back and enjoying the drama."

Her father frowned. "Didn't they say you were a master of disguise? How did Old Lady York figure it out, then? When did she pick you as a potential match for Evan? My precious daughter, secretly chosen to be someone's granddaughter-in-law, and no one thought to tell me!"

The realization made Mr. Du shake his head. "That old lady York is sharp. She's not just wise-she's downright intimidating."

Mrs. Du agreed. "None of the women she's chosen for her grandsons have been ordinary. They're all remarkable in their own ways. It's clear she's planning to strengthen the York family even further by bringing in daughters-in-law who can hold their own.

"With nine grandsons and such careful matchmaking, the York family's future in-laws will only make their connections stronger and their power greater. The York Corporation will keep growing, and its influence will reach even higher levels."

Mr. Du nodded thoughtfully. "It's no wonder the York family is so prosperous. With a matriarch as cunning and strategic as Old Lady York at the helm, they're bound to stay on top."
