Riley calmed down her emotions, only to realize that she had not even washed her face before facing him after getting up from the bed.
She grabbed her hair in shock and made for the bathroom Covering her face. Xavier eyed the way she seemed awkward and embarrassed, his elegant brows furrowing. "This isn't our first day of marriage It's not like this is the first time I'm seeing your face in the morning either so Why are you hiding?". This had nothing to do with how long they have been married! Especially since Riley was never conscious of the fact that she was married previously!. She did not explain she only ended up running into the bathroom and immediately stood in front of the mirror to check if her eyes were sore. When she looked down, she found that his bathroom did not have the products she used for washing up. Who knew if after last night Xavier would directly move his things back to the main bedroom. Seeing that Xavier had already left the room, she took the opportunity to run back to the main bedroom and moved the things she frequently used to his bedroom. This way, regardless of which room he chose to stay in, she would Occupy both! There was nowhere he could escape!. Riley changed her clothes and went downstairs for breakfast. On the table was the custard, toast she always loved to eat. She had just sat down when Xavier placed a cup of warm milk Auntie Shu had brought over in front of her. She sat by the table took the cup of milk, bit on the toast and took a glance at Xavier. She then took another bite of the toast and glanced up at Xavier once more. As she ate her breakfast her eyes rarely left Xavier. When Auntie Shu who was cleaning at the side saw this she could not help but smile, quietly tugging the helper at the side to return to the kitchen. Riley took another bite of the toast, not even realizing that a bit of custard was left on the side of her mouth. Her eyes were fixed on the man who had already finished his breakfast and was currently reading a business magazine. He had a pair of stern and clear brows and eyes a straight nose bridge and a handsome silhouette that seemed to be crafted by God himself. He was perfect to the point where no one could find anything to fuss about. Xavier paused his actions of flipping the magazine, calmly turning to look at the little woman whose eyes seemed to be stuck on him. Her gaze seemed as though he would vanish at any instant. Riley returned to her spirits and rushed to bring the toast in her hand up to cover her eyes Picking up her glass of milk, she chugged a large mouthful. Due to being too rushed, she choked and had to quickly put down her cup and toast, violently coughing twice: "Cough... cough cough". Xavier brought Some napkins in front of her. Seeing how she was still coughing loudly he directly helped her wipe the custard off her lips. "You've been acting strange since yesterday. Do you like to stare at me so much?". "Cough, cough, cough.." She actually did not choke so seriously but hearing his words she immediately coughed loudly several times on purpose. This time Auntie Shu rushed out from the kitchen. "Madam, what's wrong? You're coughing so badly". "Cough, cough nothing, I just choked on the milk". "So long as you're all right. Oh yes, yesterday Miss Milly said that she wants to come and stay at the Here tonight. This evening shall I prepare dinner for her as well?". Her expression did not change. After coughing twice more, she turned to say. "Auntie Shu, clean up the guest bedroom my sister always uses. From now onward don't let her stay at the Here as much as possible." "But Miss Milly will be coming today". "I'Il speak to her about it After all, this is not the Houston's family home. It's not right for her to come in and out of here all the time". Hearing this, Auntie Shu's heart became much more comfortable. In the past, she always felt that that second lady who kept coming to the mansion, loved to ask alI sorts of questions about Mr. Noah, and even treated him like a family member, and she was the kind of person that made it really difficult to get used to. Auntie Shu did not wait for even a second and rushed to clean up the guest room before the young Mistress would change her mind. All of a sudden Xavier's phone which was placed on the dining table vibrated. Riley initially thought it would only be a spam message. Seeing how his eyes remained fixed on a particular English article in the business magazine, mindless of his phone, her gaze flew towards his phone screen. Seeing the number on the screen her eyes flashed, and she reached over to take his phone. 09038xxxxxx [Brother Xavier, please don't be mad at my sister, I didn't expect that she would use such methods and drug you. She originally wanted to send you another woman's bed, I persuaded her for a really long time but she wouldn't listen. With the way you guys are interacting, will there be a happy ending? My heart aches for my sister, and l also feel that it is not worth it for you, Brother Xavier!] After reading the message, Riley's beautiful brows furrowed. "Your phone number, do many people know it?". Riley looked up making Xavier glanced at her before placing the magazine in his hands to the side. "Many people? Whom does that refer to?". Riley remembered that Xavier's private number was not known to many people and was not easily accessible to others. "I just did not expect Milly to be so Concerned about Our relationship and to message you because of my actions". Riley smiled while intentionally allowing some jealousy to be revealed in her eyes. Xavier eyed her restrained expression and asked, "Weren't you the one who gave her my number?". It seems like that did indeed happen. Milly often took her phone to play and She had not paid much attention to when exactly she had memorized Xavier's private number. "She sends them, but that doesn't mean I will read them". Xavier calmly said. Hearing this, Riley scrolled down, discovering many unread messages. Aside from a few emails and messages from the the company, there really were also several unread messages from Milly. After randomly reading a few, she discovered that they were mostly made to sound as though she was a kind younger sister speaking up for her older sister, but in fact, they made Riley sound as though she was often unreasonable and had a weird personality. She was indeed full of schemes! At the moment when she became silent, Xavier suddenly spoke calmly, "Being young doesn't equate to being innocent. Family relations should not be trusted without question. That you can see things clearly early on is not a bad thing." Riley suspiciously eyed the man in front of her who seemed to have already known everything from the start. No wonder Xavier rarely returned home whenever Milly was around, It seems like he had already seen through Milly's thoughts. She really wanted to beat up herself from ten years ago! Why was her heart so big and foolish at the same time?! With this thought Riley violently slapped her forehead and ended up hitting the wounded spot from last night. She hissed in surprise while her whole face scrunched up in pain. Xavier sat up and walked over pushing her hand aside. Seeing her sore forehead, he frowned. "Does it not hurt enough? Do you have to make the wound Worse?". Riley raised her head of course It hurt to he point where tears were coming out. Glancing at his stern expression, she could not hold in her ashamed expression. "I won't let anyone come in as they please anymore. In the past did I cause a lot of trouble for you?". "Everything concerning you is not any trouble For this sort of thing, the decision lies in your hands". Xavier held her head, checking her wound before calling for a helper to come over. "Bring the medicine from last night here and apply it on her again."Everything concerning her was not considered trouble.... Riley's heart rippled and she happily threw herself into his embrace. It was early in the morning and she had already done so twice By now, Xavier was somewhat used to her sudden outburst of sweet passion. He lowered his eyes to look at her little head that was buried in his embrace, gently holding it. "Once you've eaten, return to the room to rest, It's already the beginning of autumn. Don't catch a cold". "Going to rest right after eating are you raising me like a pig?". Riley rubbed her face against his embrace. Suddenly noticing that the helpers around them all seemed shy and awkward, she quickly stepped back from his embrace but noticed that Xavier's gaze on her held a faint smile that was difficult to understand. "Didn't you always do that in the past?" "That Was..." In the past, Riley never like
Riley had never expected that someone like Xavier who seemed so cold on the outside would have the potential to tease. She could not help but eye him suspiciously. Seeing the unclear yet unobstructed interaction of the two in front of her, Milly's voice came somewhat sharp. "Big sister, what are you guys doing? Why are you flirting with your eyes? I'm still standing here!". "What else can we do? We're not being particularly touchy Just an exchange of glances requires your permission as well?". Riley leaned her head against Xavier's shoulders, looking up with a smile at his handsome face under the sunlight. "Hubby, it's already past eight if you still don't head for work won't it affect your meeting in the afternoon?". Seeing their little display Milly's eyes almost fell out. She actually called him Hubby? The Riley she knew has always tried her best to make sure no one knew that she was mar
Walking out of the Noah's villa, Milly's heart still held some suspicion. Could it be that the previous day when she took advantage of Xavier being drugged and wore thinner clothes, Riley became suspicious? Why else would her attitude change so much? She glanced around thinking about how Xavier should not have gotten far. She raised her phone to give him a call. Since she did not drive a car here and the Noah's family home was along the way the Noah's Corporation, Xavier should not refuse if she asked him to drive her home. If there was an opportunity to sit in his car, she needed to have a good talk with him about Riley. The phone rang for a long time Milly did not give up and continued calling. All of a sudden, she could hear the sound of a phone ringing behind her. She turned around in astonishment only to see Riley walking out with Xavier's black cellphone in
"Peng" Riley lifted her head from where she was laying in the cold prison and glanced towards the guard who had thrown a plate of cold rice on the floor, She did not move to sit up. "Acting aloof? You love to eat, and yet you're not eating!". The prison guard reached his foot in and cruelly crushed the rice under his feet. He had heard that this Riley dared to attempt to murder Miss Adam from the Adam's family, who had specially ordered him to torture herwell in prison. Riley sat in the corner of the cell room with her eyes fixed blankly on the dirtied food on the floor. Outside the cell, the sound of the television could suddenly be heard from the prison guard's room. "R & Co's CEO Xavier Noah has returned to the country today. Right now, he has arrived at Abuja-" "R & Co organization is currently Nigeria's largest banking enterprise, Xavier Noah officially took over the company seven years ago and today his position as a corporate tycoon is currently unshakable and unbeatable
Riley Everything that happened last night felt so clear in her memories... which meant that she had really been reborn! "Big sister, didn't we promise that after Brother Xavier drank that cup of wine, I would drive him out of the Villa?". Saying this Milly continued to walk toward her, her voice hiding her unhappiness but since Riley was now reborn she could obviously tell. Riley woke up from her daze, staring at her sister who often visited her at villa ever since the very first day of her marriage. Without taking notice of the coldness that flashed by Riley's eyes, Milly still continued to grumbled, "How on earth did you end up sleeping in his bed instead? You didn't stick to the plan". Hearing this Riley smiled sweetly and asked, "His bed? Isn't this our wedding room? What do you mean by how did I end up in his bed?". "l'm just anxious for you! Because Now that the plan is messed up, only god knows for how long your divorce will be delayed now!". Saying this she knitted her
Riley Riley raised her head, asking him, "Do you want to come back to the house for dinner tonight?". Xavier loosened his tie still keeping silent. "I learned to make a few dishes from Auntie shu, don't you want to try them out?". Hearing this Xavier finally looked her in the eye and asked. "You? Cooking?". The way he said it was as though she was a rich lady who would not even dip her fingers in spring water! And truly she was once was like that.. Cough, but she could proudly say she was different now! Infact everything was different now "En. Do you want to give it a taste?". Riley glanced up at him her brows tilted with her smile waiting patiently for his response. Seeing this Xavier smiled coldly. "Since medicine didn't work, are you planning to use poison on me this time?". Indeed, she had made too many mistakes After all, the use of the medicine had only Occurred once and that was yesterday. In the past... Thinking back, Riley too felt that she had been very willful.

Riley Xavier's eyes widened in shock He quickly leaned back to avoid her kiss. Riley on the other was also unsure of where her sudden rush of courage came from, She stood up on her tiptoe and tried to kiss him once more. She held onto his shirt tightly, unwilling to let go or even looses her grip in the slightest. Xavier pushed her away with some force, and said with his low and deep voice, "Riley, you don't know what you are doing!". "I do! I'm very clear about it!". Riley replied as she continued pressing close to him without giving up. Her bright eyes stared straight at him. "Xavier, tonight I will either stay here with you or return home with you! You choose!". The night obscured many things from sight, but it could not cover the determination in her eyes. Xavier stared at her for half a beat. Riley returned his gaze without hesitation, Xavier did not reply to her but
Not long after Riley brought out two bowls of piping hot noodle soup. Glancing back, Xavier appeared to be answering his phone. When Xavier ended his phone call, he turned around to see Riley sitting by the table, her wide eyes staring at him. This was Riley's first time of cooking for him in both her past and current life Although she seemed calm on the outside, you couldn't say the same for the inside because her heart could not help but be a little nervous. The two bowls of noodles on the table were especially fragrant, Xavier walked over. All of the helpers had already gone to sleep Earlier on there was only Riley in the kitchen. It seemed like she really made these noodles. Xavier glanced at it and asked. "When did you learn to cook?". "From a long time ago, You just didn't know!". Riley blinked her eyes as she answered. " I promised to let you come home for dinne
