Xenia's expression was incredibly dark at the moment. Everyone focused on Belle, and no one cared about her anymore. It was as if she didn't exist at all. Besides, no one thought that she and Grayson had any kind of relationship. Xenia heard that Grayson didn't like Belle at all. However, Grayson's actions toward Belle indicated that he actually liked her very much. That made Xenia more angry. Did she receive false information? Was she late to the party, and Grayson had already started liking Belle after being with her for an extended period? Xenia gathered her thoughts as she saw Sam start the car. She immediately said goodbye to her friends and went up to the vehicle. "I want to be with Belle tonight. She won't be going to dance class now but will do so tomorrow. You can go home and take a rest. I'll have my bodyguards take you home," Grayson said to Xenia when she opened the car door. Xenia's expression soured at Grayson's words.She was incredibly saddened but tried no
The affluent young ladies couldn't help but feel consumed by jealousy after discussing Grayson. Their eyes seemed to emit shades of green, and a fiery passion of resentment burned within their hearts.They surrounded Xenia and asked, "Xenia, what's really going on? Didn't you say that Mr. Page doesn't like Ms. Walters?""Mr. Page seems to really like her! He seems to dote on her a lot!"Xenia clenched her fists secretly, and a hint of anger flashed through her eyes. She had underestimated Belle.Belle bought so many things today, but it wasn't for herself. She was trying to win over Grayson's men. She was truly cunning! It was obvious she was doing this to please Grayson.Xenia had completely misunderstood Belle's intentions. Xenia was extremely furious but tried to hide it by calmly saying, "Feelings can be nurtured. Belle has been with Grayson for half a year now. It's normal that they develop feelings for each other. You all must be tired from shopping all day. Let's go. I'
Dorothy replied, "You're right. You can come over when you're free.""Alright. How's the patient's current condition?""Stable for now. He's still in the intensive care unit. It's already late. Have a good rest, and come when you're free.""Okay, I'll be there tomorrow morning."Belle kept her phone. The car had already stopped. They were home.Turning to look at Grayson, she wanted to talk to him about Xenia. But he got out of the car. All she could see was his cold silhouette.He seemed distant and unwilling to speak to her.Belle frowned. She glared at him and got out of the car.The maids came to help bring in the things she bought. Belle gave them a gift each. These were quite pricey.The maids were delighted. "Thank you, Ms. Walters!""You're welcome. I've been troubling you a lot for the past few months," said Belle with a smile. Then, she walked toward the house with a gentle expression.Scampering out joyfully, Sixteen dashed to her. It wagged its tail and stood on
However, Grayson grew sullen immediately after. He and Belle were in a marriage by agreement. Belle had fallen for him, but he didn't love her back. What should he do?What could he do if she refused to divorce when their contract ended?Grayson was worried as he thought about the future.Seeing that he fell silent, Belle said, "I have spent a lot with your card today. Now, we're even. If you dare take advantage of me again, I won't let it slide easily!"Belle turned to leave after she finished speaking. Grayson called out, "Wait!"Belle halted and turned around. "What?""Where's my gift?""What?""Stop acting. I'm talking to you about the gift you're giving me."Belle was dumbfounded.Grayson's face darkened. "Belle Walters, I'm giving you only one chance. If you don't give it to me now, I won't accept it if you give it to me later!"Belle's eyes widened. "Who says I'm giving you a present?"Grayson asked, "What do you mean?"Belle retorted, "No, what do you mean?"Grays
Meredith had already prepared breakfast. She quickly served the food when she saw Belle coming down the stairs.She purposedly placed a bowl of oatmeal with toppings right before Belle.Belle was puzzled. "What is this?"Meredith smiled. "A nutritious bowl of oatmeal. Mr. Page instructed me to prepare this for you. I've added some granola and fruits. There is a variety of nuts in it, too. They are packed full of nutrients. Try it."Meredith prepared this for her on Grayson's orders?Belle couldn't understand. "Why did you prepare this for me?"Meredith said gently, "Mr. Page says you seem to have lost some weight recently. You don't look as radiant as before, too. You should take more nutritious food."Belle didn't know what to say.She didn't believe Grayson would be concerned about her. He must be putting up a show for Xenia, right?Belle pursed her lips. Without further ado, she tasted the food. It was delicious."Is it nice?" asked Meredith."Yes, it is!"Meredith grinn
Belle noticed that. She retorted impassively, "Well, you should. If you fainted out of hunger in my house, what should I tell your fiancé?"Xenia's face changed at the word "fiancé." Avoiding the topic, she smiled as though she heard nothing. She said, "I'm not that weak. I won't faint from hunger. I'm also used to skipping breakfast.""Oh. Since you're used to it, you might as well not have any. You'll get sick easily if you force stop a habit. Meredith, take away Ms. Sanchez's food. She says she's used to skipping breakfast."Xenia and Meredith were both stunned. They didn't expect Belle to be so straightforward.Xenia's lips twitched. Smiling, she added, "Having some food is surely better. I should probably eat some since Grayson says I should."Belle secretly rolled her eyes. She ignored Xenia and focused on her breakfast.She thought Xenia was far less likable than June.After all, June was single. It was acceptable if she was interested in Grayson. But Xenia had a fiancé.
Grayson returned from a run before Belle finished eating.He was wearing black sportswear and black running shoes. At that moment, he was dripping with sweat.Grayson had a rugged look and was exuding a sense of masculinity. At the sight of that, Xenia hurriedly got up and approached him. "Grayson, you're back! You must have run a lot. Look at you, all sweaty."She continued, "Quick, wipe yourself. Otherwise, you'll catch a cold."Xenia took a white towel and handed it to Grayson as she spoke. She acted like she was the lady of the house. On the other hand, Belle sat at the dining table without moving. When she saw what Xenia did, she pouted and continued eating. Belle was annoyed at both Xenia and Grayson at the moment. Xenia wouldn't be there if it were not for Grayson. He had invited her over. Even though he did not like Xenia, he was still to blame. Grayson sensed that Belle was not in a good mood. He glanced at her and did not take the towel from Xenia. Instead,
In an instant, Grayson felt an inexplicable sense of ease. He did not reach out to take the glass from Belle. Instead, he took a sip as she held it. Belle was momentarily stunned. She frowned and thought Grayson was shameless. After all, she was only acting in front of Xenia. How could he actually drink from her hand? Belle was annoyed by his actions. She pouted, handed the glass to Grayson, and said, "Finish this glass of water first. I'll go upstairs and run the bath for you."She added, "Be quick! I'll be waiting!"After hinting at him, she turned and headed upstairs to wait for Grayson. She needed to talk to him.Looking at Belle's departing figure, Xenia frowned. Then she turned to Grayson and smiled. "Belle looks like a gentle person. Who would have thought she had a fiery temper? She was fierce to me and had the guts to throw a tantrum at you, too."Xenia continued, "Does she know who you are? How could she do that to you? I … "Grayson interrupted her before she could
