Married At First Sight
Chapter 4020
Zachary sighed, his tone sharp yet patient. “Alright, let’s discuss you and Miss Du. Have you ever wondered why she refuses to acknowledge that she’s Fox? Consider this: Fox is merely a disguise, a persona. Her true identity is Abby, the second daughter of the Du family.”
He continued, his voice steady with reasoning. “Abby wants you to fall in love with her, not with a version of her obscured by makeup and a different name. Yes, Fox is still part of her, but that’s not her true self; it’s merely a mask. If you two ever marry, she won’t spend her life with you as Fox. She’s Abby, not a remnant of her past. She has returned to her family and is no longer Bianca, the girl who followed her master everywhere. To the world, she’s Miss Du—Abby. Do you understand now? Until you genuinely fall in love with Abby, she will never admit to being Fox.”
Evan frowned, frustration seeping into his voice. “But she is Fox, and Fox is her. What’s the difference? They’re the same person.”
Zachary’s tone became impatient. “It’s been a few days, Evan. Just a few days. And you expect her to forgive you and let you start fresh? Keep dreaming. The Du family is putting you through a test. Accept it.”
He was about to hang up but added one final warning. “And listen, don’t call me unless it’s life or death. I’m swamped and don’t have time to babysit you. Also, keep my wife out of this. She’s pregnant, and I don’t want her stressed. When your nephew is born, I’ll inform you. Then you can congratulate me on becoming a dad.”
Evan opened his mouth to respond, but the line went dead. Zachary had hung up.
Evan sat there, his thoughts swirling. He sighed and leaned back in his seat.
Well, Zachary was right. He had only been in Huyoniville for a few

There was no need to rush; he had time—indeed, a lifetime. No one could take Abby from him. On Saturday, Abby was going to the airport to pick up Spencer, and Evan decided to tag along, even if that meant being the annoying third wheel. If he wanted to win her back, he would have to be shameless—the infamous Fourth Young Master York who never knew when to give up.

After finishing the call, Evan lingered in his car, contemplating Zachary’s words. Eventually, he started the engine and drove away. Waiting at the Du family’s gate until dawn wouldn’t change anything; it would only irritate Abby further. Tomorrow, he would have to confront the Du family again, but this time armed with chili peppers—lots of them. Tonight, he planned to eat as much cold food as possible to prepare for the fiery challenge ahead.

Meanwhile, Abby, watching from inside the mansion, noticed Evan’s car leaving and let out a small sigh of relief. She had feared he might stubbornly stay out in the cold all night. Yet, her thoughts remained on him. She picked up her phone and sent a voice message to her sister, Adalee.

“Hey, Sis, please don’t make the chili peppers too spicy for Evan tomorrow. If he eats too much at once, it could really hurt him.”

Adalee replied almost immediately, “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. I won’t kill him. So, he’s gone now? Is he still bothering you?”

Abby hesitated before responding. “He followed me home from work and waited outside the gate for hours before leaving. It’s freezing out there. He must have been starving and cold. This weather is too harsh for anyone to endure.”

Adalee scoffed. “No one forced him to do that. It was his choice. Let him suffer.”

Abby chose not to reply. She remained inside, took a long, hot bath, and tried to unwind. As she lay back…

On her bed, she felt restless; sleep wouldn’t come. After a while, she made a decision. She slipped into her Fox attire—not the red outfit Evan was familiar with, but something different, something he wouldn’t recognize. Quietly, Abby sneaked out of the Du family mansion, the crisp night air enveloping her. Just minutes after she left, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Du, returned home, having cut their evening short, knowing Abby had no social plans for the night.
