Aurelia's heart thumped wildly.She was going to have a nosebleed from how tantalizing everything was! She was probably not the only woman who could not handle it, right? If it were any other woman in this world, she was sure they would not be able to handle this either!What should she do now, though?The chest muscles, abs, and Adonis belt looked really good. Maybe she should give them a feel? She was already so close to them anyway. It would be a real waste not to take the advantage presented to her…Aurelia cast her eyes down and tried to calm her breathing. Her breaths only grew more urgent the more she wanted to calm them down, and her cheeks flushed redder the more she tried to compose herself…She could only screw her eyes shut.It was like two little monsters were fighting in her heart.Neil looked at the girl's mental struggle in amusement but suddenly felt a rush of heat in himself. He licked his lips and waited for her next move like a hunter waiting for his prey.J
It was only then Neil realized that he had sat the whole afternoon in the tailor shop with a bare upper body.Not many people came this afternoon to tailor or collect clothes, but the few of them that did were frightened when they saw someone like this sitting in the shop.Although the man looked handsome, his scowl was dark, and he had his upper body bare… He did not seem decent at all!This was how Neil managed to deter the few customers they had.He had pulled the buttons of his shirt, so he could not wear it either. He sighed and put on the shirt, tying the ends of it together since there were no buttons and vaguely revealing his solid chest.He was going to leave when Aurelia came in with a bowl of cold rose-flavored jelly.The first thing she said when she saw him was: "Why are you still here!?"She then hid the jelly to herself and said, "This… This is mine."Neil felt speechless and suddenly thought the girl was a fool. Yeah, he was famous and charismatic. How did he ru
'Shorten it?' Aurelia was at a loss.Neil went closer to her, his tone probing. "Didn't I tell you that the queen likes the clothes you made? If you get the chance to become an embroidery artist in the palace, you'll get citizenship very soon, and you can make more money."Would you want a chance like that?"Aurelia felt like this was a stroke of luck hitting her right in the face.However, in her 18 years of life that was neither too long nor too short, according to her experience gained from her hard days, the better something sounded, the more dangerous a trap it was.The queen must have met so many talented people. Why would she insist that an unknown person like her go into the palace as an embroidery artist? Moreover, the palace was not a fun place to be. She did not have to be there to know it. Even when she did not know what the royal family was like, she had watched dramas. Those were people who looked calm and unfazed, but the struggle for power was overwhelming.Aure
Zephyr frowned. To him, what Alexander said was rather strange.It did not matter that he did not covet Cordelia. What did he mean by he "dared not"?Instead of just speaking normally, he looked down, pursed his lips, and chuckled. What did he mean by all that?Zephyr thought he had met many people. However, when he met Alexander, only then did he realize there were people in the world that he could not see through.After falling into silence for a moment, he said, "You asked me if I recognized you before. I gave it a long, hard thought, but I just can't recall.""It's okay." Alexander maintained a warm smile on his face. "It's all the way back to when we were studying. It makes sense that you forgot.""Your Highness… studied at Walton as well?""That's right." Alexander put his hands together while rubbing his thumbs softly. "It's just that I had bad grades. You definitely never noticed me."However, he was willing to repay his kindness all his life…Zephyr nodded. Half of th
Zephyr stopped with apparent confusion in his eyes.He turned around to look at Alexander. This person did not look like a majestic prince. He looked more like a wife who had made a mistake standing where he was, rubbing his hands."What do you mean… by that, Your Highness?" Zephyr's eyes turned grim."I…" Alexander took a deep breath and said, "I just hope you're not mad at me. That's all."The former squinted. His suppressive aura made Alexander's subordinate step back. He pulled Alexander's sleeve."What's wrong, Your Highness?" His subordinate reminded him.Only then did Alexander realize that he seemed to have lost himself just now. He instantly straightened his back, recovering the look a prince should have.Zephyr glanced at him before turning around to leave.Neil called along the way. He happened to be eager to tease him. "You really knew Prince Alexander since you were young? Why did you say that to him!?""Cousin-in-law, I advise you to stop doing that. Some people
"What!?" It was Zephyr's turn to be shocked. "No!"Wifey, are you going to separate us forever?"I promise! I promise I'll be soft from now on, okay?"He would be… soft from now on?Cordelia's eyes moved, and she could not help but laugh out loud. No matter how majestic and calm he was out there, he would sometimes be incoherent at home. "Sure," Cordelia teased him casually. "If you dare to do that to our son again, you'll be soft forever!""You…"Zephyr glared with his eyes widened.However, Little Zuko was nice to him. He waved his chubby arms, asking him to carry him. Perhaps he wanted to fly like he did again.Zephyr grinned. He thought he would not fight with his wife in front of their son.He'd wait until they were in their room at night…"What are you thinking about?"Zephyr snapped back from those tempting thoughts immediately. "Oh, nothing!""Here, carry our son!" Cordelia frowned.Zephyr was stunned. He carried Zuko but stared at his wife.She did not look rig
Cordelia lifted her doe eyes and asked, "What if you're sick of me?"Zephyr caressed her face. His face was serious yet filled with allure."You had to suffer the pain of giving birth. I'm in debt to you forever. So I won't let you suffer for anything else.""Hubby…"Cordelia hugged him tightly and could not help but cry.Zephyr wiped her tears and chuckled. "You're moved just like that?""Mm-hmm…""What a fool!" He played with her hair.Sunset dyed the sky red. The birds were returning to their nests as night was befalling.He held her hand and told her something that he had been thinking about in all seriousness."Cordelia, should we hold our wedding here?""What?" She was stunned."I mean, our son is already over three months old, yet I still owe you a wedding!" He said while smiling, "I'll give you one in Southeast Aciatic, okay?"…Alexander sat in the cafe until the sun set.When it was time to close, the owner rushed back. He thought he would open until late, but
That voice pierced through the haze in Alexander's life like a light.He did not remember how those people were begging from being beaten up, nor how humble they were when they apologized to him.All he remembered was that it was the first time in his life that he was being protected.The newcomer was like a god that descended, giving him hope and warmth."Are you alright?" He helped him up. "My name's Zephyr Hamerton. I'm the captain of the boxing team.""Zephyr…"Alexander stared at the chiseled face blankly, revealing a smile that was even uglier than a cry.…Alexander suddenly opened his eyes and felt a chill on his back.He looked at the empty coffee cup before him and forced a smile.He had drank so much coffee, so how did he still fall asleep? He even had the same dream…Just when he was going to stand up to leave, his subordinate suddenly tapped on him. He stared at the door."What?" He looked over and was stunned.He saw Victoria walking in slowly with a smile on
