Xenon trembled slightly. He couldn't believe it. He moved a few steps towards the girl, then stopped. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but he didn't utter a sound. Is she Sol? I've looked for her worldwide for so many years, and I couldn't find her, but she's now right here with Chris Butler?Miya watched silently. Her eyes were teary. She felt a fear so intense that she couldn't move. She stood still and watched. Chris said he had found Sol Keaton. This girl here is... is she? Is she Sol Keaton? Xenon has always been so calm, but he seems to be so emotional now. She must be then! How does it happen all so fast? Everything was just so sweet and perfect then!She admitted to herself that lately, she had started hoping that Xenon would grow to love her one day and they could love each other and live together as normal couples did. There's no more hope... "Xenon..." the girl spoke softly, her voice trembling. She had to pluck up the courage to call his name as she wasn't s
He seemed to suddenly sober up, and gently he released Sol from his embrace and said softly, "You must be tired from the auction." Sol was disappointed, but she did not show her feelings. With a smile, she nodded, "A little bit. It felt so long, the auction."Xenon picked her up, carried her in his arms, and went to the car. He could see Miya in the distance, running away. Before he got into the car, Xenon said to Jeff, "Follow her."Jeff was rather confused as everyone could tell that the girl in Xenon's arms was the one that he truly cared about, not the one he married. Jeff wasn't sure what he should do. Though he was hired as Miya's bodyguard, he worked for Xenon after all.Now that his boss had made it clear, Jeff answered, "Yes, Mr. Uba."Sophia Moore was totally ignored and forgotten. She stood there and watched quietly. She hated Miya as she thought she could have been with Xenon if it wasn't for her, but now that Sol had returned, she felt utterly hopeless. In the car, Sol
Seeing her tearful eyes, Xenon felt apologetic and went and sat down next to her. He hugged her and stroked her head gently. "Yes, Sol, I know. I know. Listen to me. All you need to do now is to recover well and be healthy, ok? I will take care of everything else. I will give you the best of everything." Sol hugged him tightly. Tears streamed down her face and wetted his shirt. "All I want is you, just you.""I am yours. I'm always yours. Now, have a good sleep, and I will see you soon." Sol nodded and lay down in bed. Xenon put the blanket on her and left quietly. As soon as Xenon closed the door, Sol opened her eyes, and with her lips pouted, she thought angrily that she had underestimated Miya after all. Xenon seems to want to keep her, and he's now left me for her! I thought he would kick her out as soon as I come back. However, she wasn't too worried either, knowing that someone as exceptional and powerful as Sophia Moore couldn't tempt Xenon at all. This girl is just a replace
Shut up! You are irritating me." Xenon snapped. He had never thought that the return of Sol would affect Miya so much. He thought that when Sol came back, everything would be perfect. The fact was that it was now a complete mess. If I have to choose between them, then I can only... He waved his hand and said impatiently, "You can get out of my room now." Just as I had expected, Miya thought. She got up and stumbled back to her room.For half a month, Miya had shared the same bed with Xenon. As soon as Miya left, Xenon had this feeling of sudden emptiness. He did not like it. Sol is back. I should feel happy and content instead. Why? Why do I feel empty? Why do I long for Miya when Sol has been with me?Sol was now standing by the French window, looking out at the moonlit garden. She felt content and confident. She felt Xenon would soon marry her and they will have a happy family.Xenon was now one of the most successful men in the world. He was no longer under the control of his gran
Irritated, he turned around and glared at Miya, "What do you want, huh? You were just saying you are jealous of Sol, and now you want to leave me." Miya smiled a helpless smile. "What do I want? Mr. Xenon Uba, I've told you that I love you, but we can't be together, can we? What do you expect me to do? To be your secret lover to humiliate me? And shouldn't you be loyal to Miss Keaton?"He didn't like seeing her smile. It upset and angered him at the same time. Without another word, he turned around and left. "Will you let me leave? Make up your mind, please..." Miya muttered.Xenon hurried back to his room. He didn't have an answer. Feeling helpless and hopeless, Miya collapsed onto the bed and stared at the ceiling all night long. She didn't get up till the maid knocked at her door in the morning to ask her to have breakfast. Seeing the tired and drawn face of herself in the mirror, she pinched her cheeks and said to herself, "Come on, Miya! This is not you! Cheer up. Life goes on
Miya was startled. She had forgotten the fact that she and Sol looked like. "No, she's not my sister." She shook her head. "But my goodness, you two look just the same." Jodie looked at Miya, then at Sol, and back at Miya, in disbelief.Sol had a closer look at Jodie, noticing her attire and her pretty face. She asked cautiously, with a smile, "Who are you, may I ask?" "Jodie Field. I work here. And you?" "Sol Keaton." "Nice to meet you. Do you work here as well?" "No, not yet. Perhaps in the future. I'm here to see Xenon." "To see Xenon? Mr. Uba? You know him well?" Jodie looked at her suspiciously. "Yes. I want to keep him company." "Huh? What do you mean? He's got his wife to keep him company." Jodie said matter-of-factly. Nice one, Jodie. Miya thought gratefully. Sol looked displeased at first, then she smiled and replied, "The thing is, his wife isn't the one he loves. I am. Those who are just a replacement will have to leave sooner or later now that I'm back." Jodie po
Xenon bent down immediately to check. "You ok? Did you hurt your ankle?" Sol nodded. "I'm afraid so." Then she had a glance at the secretaries' office and saw that Miya could see them clearly. "Oh. Silly me. I shouldn't have worn heels." She said regretfully.Xenon put one arm around Sol's back and the other under her knees and lifted her up, so Sol wrapped her arms around his neck. "Xenon, I think I can manage. I'm worried that your staff will think it inappropriate to see you carrying me like this.""Inappropriate?" Xenon knitted his brows and marched towards the lift. "Whoever thinks it inappropriate should get fired." He said it aloud. As soon as the secretaries saw them get into the lift, everyone exclaimed, and soon gossip followed. Everyone saw and heard clearly how much Xenon cared about Sol, including Miya, especially when Sol smiled at her victoriously over Xenon's shoulder.She didn't need to do that. Everyone knows she's the one that Xenon loves anyway. Miya thought. Al
They arrived at one of the best high-end restaurants in town. Chris was looking out of the window, enjoying the view while waiting. He heard the door open and Miya's footsteps. Without turning around, he said quietly, "I'm glad you made it here." "Mr. Butler, why did you pay for my mum's treatment? I don't want to be in debt to you or anyone.""You are not. I have my own intentions." He replied without giving her any further explanation. "What do you mean?" Puzzled, Miya asked him again. Chris looked at her, smiled, and said, "No worries. I just want to see you and buy you lunch." "I have no appetite." She refused his offer. "Ah. It's alright. I do. Two more people are coming, by the way." "Who?" Miya snapped. "Take a seat. You will find out soon." Chris stood up, pulled out a chair for Miya, and gestured to her to sit down. Miya felt more worried, but knowing that there was no way she could leave without Chris' consent, she obeyedDid you finish the books I gave you?" Chris
