"Act out the truth and mix in a few lies, until even you can't tell what's true"
The truth is that you were miserable and the lies are that you don't care that wealth didn't change that and that you don't want him to know you have and are hurting. The problem is getting yourself to believe it enough to put on a convincing act.
Maybe he's not as good of an actor as they both thought he was. 

What birthday presents? I remember her saying she could never get a card or even a hug on her birthday, because he was too busy mourning the day his wife passed.

They are really dragging this out, but I can't be mad because it keeps building the tension and making things even more interesting. I hope their bond is everything Abel thinks it is. 

Conception dream? Are we getting twins? 

What's their age difference?  They were focusing so hard on the girl in his dream, was he the boy that was also being kidnapped? 

They made that look and sound almost sinister... But if he pushes too hard he may end up pushing them even closer together. 

Clearly not just a message for her

I am reminded of Furutama "Rebirth"
Lela: I love Fry. That Fry.
Fry: And I love Lela. Any Lela.

It's just another test he is about to fail.  He can feel his movements, and the mirror (which is reflecting his arm position backward) is telling him everything.  Could be why he is smiling.
Even if he didn't know, I doubt he would be able to win in his current state. 

Don't open a relationship if you can't handle a relationship being open

I think he surprised himself wanting that hug!

So like a psychosis take on an alpha rut?

His mother had to know at least something and her own controlling idiocy will ruin him.
