Miya rolled her eyes, feeling speechless. He was kissing me with affection just then, and now he's threatening me. I shouldn't expect him to change. Miya thought. Reluctantly, she muttered, "Honey." Xenon somehow felt startled, and it took him a few seconds to acknowledge it. "Again." He said. He liked it. "Why?" Miya pouted her lips. Xenon chuckled at her reaction and pinched her lips gently. "Alright. You don't have to now. But from now on, whenever you call my name, you have to say it with affection." He wrapped his arm around her slim waist gently and buried his head on her neck, sniffing the pleasant scent of her, and just like that, he lay there still for a while. Miya found his behavior rather peculiar. She tapped his arm and said, "Hey, you should get up." "Why? Can't I cuddle my own wife?" "Yes, you can. But I just think you must have a lot of work to do." "Yeah. I should get back to work." Xenon got up and re-focused on work. Later, Levi came in and reported, "Mr. Xe
He used to see her as a mere replacement for Sol because she looked like her, however, he now realized that they were actually quite different. Sol was very delicate and gentle, even submissive, while Miya could be rather stubborn and independent. She's actually nothing like Sol except her look. It then dawned on him that she was no longer just a replacement to him. When Miya woke up the next morning, the first thing she thought of was how Xenon was. "Honey, how are you feeling? How's the wound?" she asked and gently touched the bandage. She heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that it wasn't bleeding any more."Do you think you know magic? You can tell if it's healed just by a gentle touch?" Xenon teased. Miya rolled her eyes. "I wish I knew." "Why don't you take my shirt off to check then? Come on." Xeon smiles cheekily. "No." Miya blushed. "Don't you miss my n.a.k.e.d body?" Miya was speechless. She changed the subject and said, "I'm hungry." "Hungry for what?" Xenon teased agai
Pretend?" Xenon asked. "Right. Don't worry. I know what's real and what's not, and I know not to fall in love. It's all just a show as it's intended to be from the very beginning, right?" Miya said casually. "I know when she comes back, I will be gone." Xenon knitted his brows harder and questioned, "Do you think about leaving all the time?Well. Do you expect me to share my husband with other women? You won't love me anyway. I'm just a replacement." Xenon wanted to say something, but he hesitated a bit and went quiet. He knew that it was true that if Sol did come back, he would surely ask Miya to leave. His silence confirmed what Miya said, and she smiled a helpless smileXenon picked up the peach with a grumpy face and threw it into the bin. "Carve a different one. Something nice." He said and changed the subject.Miya got an apple from the plate and started peeling it. She found it difficult to concentrate as the thought that she was merely a replacement haunted her mind. "Ouch.
Anyway, I've come to City X with the intention of cooperating with you, Mr. Xenon Uba, so I've done some research and preparation. I've only found out that Mr. Xenon Uba has once given up the inheritance of The Uba Corporation for a woman, but I don't know who the lucky woman is." Chris explained indifferently. Xenon released his grip, disappointed. Chris took another look at Miya and turned around to leave. "Get well soon." He said as he walked out of the room.Silence filled the room. Xenon glanced at Miya, who was sitting on the bed quietly. "What's between you two? Isn't he too concerned about you?"Miya looked up at him with a helpless smile. "Not as much as you are about her," she said sarcastically. "Don't you speak to me like that?" Xenon said sternly."Sorry. I forgot that I'm just a replacement." Miya looked away and, with great effort to not show her sadness, said as calmly as she could, "I've only seen him a couple of times. He saved me once, and he sheltered me once."
Xenon, but I love you. I will do anything for you. Why don't you see? Why don't you have feelings for me at all? Don't you see how much better I am than Sol and Miya! I'm better looking than them; I'm better educated, and I'm from a better family..." Sophia said emotionally. "Shut up!" Xenon snapped. Frightened, Sophia stopped immediately. Why did I mention Sol?! Stupid me! She cursed quietly. "I'm sorry, Xenon. I didn't mean to mention Sol. But I, I just don't understand why you married Miya! She's just a nobody girl..."Miya was just about to come in with the well-prepared lunch and heard Sophia talking. She stopped at the door, hesitating if she should go in or leave."What are you doing at the door? Come in." Xenon demanded.Miya pouted her lips and muttered, "Yes." She put the food down on the table and asked, "Am I interrupting you? Should I leave you two alone?" Xenon tapped her head and said, "Are you Mrs. Uba, or is she?" Miya smiled and said, "Me, of course." She sat do
She took the escalator upstairs to see a slim young girl with long hair gazing at Xenon, who stood still, looking disappointed and impatient. Then she looked at the girl again and noticed that though she was of a very similar figure as herself and their face is a bit similar, but not so alike. "Mrs. Miya Uba? Why are you here?" Levi spotted Miya and asked.Xenon turned around and glanced at Miya with a frown."Why? Am I not allowed? I'm simply curious to see what Mr. Xenon Uba's angel looks like. She's very pretty indeed. I shall leave them alone now.""What are you talking about?" Xenon said impatiently.Managing to hide the bitter feelings in her heart, Miya said with a smile, "No worries. Just send me the divorce agreement whenever it's ready, and I will sign it straight away." She turned around to leave. "Stop." Xenon snapped. "What else would you like to do for you, Mr. Xenon Uba?" Miya spoke as calmly as she could. "You think you can just come and go as you like?" "Well, do
When he finally released her from his eager kisses, he carried her down the stairs into the car. Levi quickly followed, holding an umbrella for them. Xenon sat Miya down on his l.a.p in the car, but Miya fixed her eyes upon the window, looking at the fierce storm silently. When they arrived at the hospital, Xenon carried her to the room and put her down on the bed. "Your wound is open again. It's bleeding. Did you do it on purpose? Huh? Can't you just take better care of yourself?""I, I was running to..." Miya pouted her lips and looked at him with tearful eyes. "I was in a hurry to watch a good show, wasn't I? Sadly, it was very disappointing." She said sarcastically.Xenon frowned and looked at her angrily, but seeing her tearful eyes and rosy cheeks, he couldn't get mad at her. Instead, he shouted at the bodyguards at the door. "Get the nurse here right now!" "Yes." The chief bodyguard hurried off. Within minutes, two nurses and a doctor rushed in. "Mr. Xenon Uba, what can we
Huh?" Miya thought he was to blame her. It was a question she didn't expect at all. "I, I don't know. I can't remember." "Tell me the truth," Xenon said calmly and genuinely. Miya pouted her lips and refused to answer. Xenon pinched her chin and said, "You are jealous, aren't you?" "No. I know what I am to you. There's no point to..." Miya was shocked by his question, but she denied it instantly."Tell me why. Why are you jealous of her?" He went on.Miya wanted to escape from his gaze and from his questioning, but she couldn't. She wanted to deny it again, but tears filled her eyes again despite herself. "I... She's the one you love. You can't forget her.""True, but what has it got to do with you?" Xenon pursued.Miya closed her eyes, and tears ran down her cheeks. "I just feel upset. Am I not allowed to be upset?" "Why are you upset?" Xenon was persistent. "Why do I have to tell you why?" "Because I asked," Xenon said plainly. "I...I... because... because even though you ar
