Evan leaned back in his chair and said, “Can you get me something to eat? I’m feeling a little hungry.” 
Abby, without hesitation, called the butler. “Bring a pot of tea and some of the usual snacks I like,” she instructed. 
When the tea arrived, Abby poured Evan a cup and placed it in front of him. “Go ahead,” she said with a faint smirk. “Start spinning your stories.” 
Evan’s expression turned serious. “Abby, I’m not making anything up. Tell me the truth—are you Fox?” 
She met his gaze, her tone light but edged with annoyance. “Evan, I’ve already told you. I have no idea who Fox is. The only foxes I know live in zoos. If you keep asking me this, I’ll start thinking you’re calling me a vixen.” 
Evan chuckled faintly but pressed on. “Fox isn’t just an animal. It’s a nickname. It refers to someone clever, cunning, and deceitful—someone who’s a master of disguise. She uses multiple aliases and keeps changing her identity, making everyone believe there are many different people, but it’s always her.” 
Abby raised an eyebrow, a spark of curiosity flickering in her eyes. “Is that so? And you think I’m this mysterious, deceitful fox? Do you have any proof to back up this theory of yours?” 
“I don’t have any evidence,” Evan admitted. 
Abby set her teacup down gently. “If you don’t have proof, then you’re just making baseless accusations and spreading rumors to tarnish my reputation.” 
Evan didn’t respond immediately. He studied her carefully, his silence heavy with unspoken thoughts. Finally, he said, “My sister-in-law once told me something that planted this doubt in my mind. She said I’d never considered the possibility that you were Fox. My brother is a sharp guy—if he shared something like that with his wife, it must mean he suspected something. 
“And then there’s my grandmother,” Evan continued, his voice softening. “She kept warning me not to regret my decisions. If you’re not Fox, if you’re just the woman I’ve fallen for, then I should be upfront and honest with you. But if that’s true, what could I possibly regret? I’m a loyal person, Abby. When I love, I love for life.” 
Abby took a sip of tea, her expression calm and unreadable. After a moment, she set the cup down and looked him straight in the eye. “Serenity and I are close friends,” she began. “She knew I had feelings for you from the very start. Maybe she wanted to play matchmaker, to bring us together and help me marry into your family as her sister-inlaw. 
“Did it ever occur to you that she might’ve misled you on purpose? Maybe she wanted you to think I’m this Fox woman, just to nudge you in my direction. And your grandmother? Of course, she’d want to ensure you don’t regret rejecting someone she worked so hard to select as your wife. That’s all perfectly normal.” 
Abby’s voice grew sharper. “But even if you came to me now and said you liked me, Evan, I wouldn’t be with you. I’ve been hurt before, and I’m not about to fall into the same trap twice.” 
Her gaze pierced through him. “You’re hung up on this Fox. You can’t pursue her for whatever reason, so after Serenity’s little hints, you came to me, thinking I’d still be waiting around for you. You assumed it would be easy to get me back. Isn’t that right?” 
Evan couldn’t find the words to respond. Serenity’s hints had been subtle, never outright declarations. And yet, here he was, grasping at straws without a shred of evidence to support his suspicions. 
Breaking the silence, Evan asked, “Abby, would it be alright if I took a look at your closet?” 
She raised an amused eyebrow. “Of course. If that’s what you want, I’ll take you upstairs right now.” 
Abby knew how to play her part well. If Fox had left any traces—like those signature red clothes—she’d hidden them flawlessly. 
Evan hesitated. He couldn’t just rifle through her belongings without a clear lead. What would he even hope to find? 
Abby’s readiness to let him look was enough to make him doubt himself. He finally shook his head. 
“You’re not going to check?” Abby asked, a hint of mockery in her tone. “Then stop accusing me of being Fox. Honestly, I envy her. She has your undivided attention, your loyalty. You’d do anything for her. It’s enough to make anyone jealous.” 
Her words lingered in the air, leaving Evan torn between doubt and determination.
