When Zayne noticed Zivonâs cold look, he didnât dare to say anything else and quickly examined Xaviaâs condition.Xavia was already feeling better now. She took the initiative to speak up, âI felt pain coming from my chest when I first fell, but now I feel weak all over and I canât move my arm at all. Everything else is fine.âZayne replied, âNonsense. This is six meters high. Youâre lucky that youâre still alive.âXavia said awkwardly, âIâŚWhen I saw Maison at that time, I was very worried and I didnât think too much about it.âAt that time, the only thought that filled her mind was Maisonâs safety, and that he shouldnât be endangered. That should be every motherâs basic instinct.Zayne was filled with heartfelt admiration for Xavia. Zivon stared at Xavia with an unusually complicated and deep look in his eyes. A few minutes later, Zayne was done with the medical examination and he said, âFortunately, you fell onto the air cushion. There is nothing serious, but you have an arm
Siena International. Maison had been in a state of shock ever since the accident happened and he had not spoken a word all night. He stuck to Xavia at all times and refused to leave her side. In the end, out of worry toward the child, Zayne had to repeatedly convince Maison that Xavia was fine. It was only then that Maison was finally willing to go back to his room with Zivon. Zivon brought Maison back to his room and bathed him before coaxing him to sleep. After Maison fell asleep, the whole room suddenly quieted down, but Zivon could not seem to calm himself down.When he first met Xavia, she scolded him for being blind. She possessed a sharp tongue and was also very rude. The second time he saw her, she was in the arms of an older man and it seemed as though she was a frivolous and promiscuous woman. When they met for the third time, she had once again barged into his villa posing as Jenna.In his impression, Xavia had a poor character, bad conduct and did everything with a
Her delicate and small shoulders, her beautiful collarbone that resembled a butterfly, and the curves on every inch of her body was more or less perfect. There were water droplets sliding down her skin. There was beauty in the purity, and it was also very seductive and charming amidst the elegance. It was as sweet as the freshness of a spring flower and the purity of jasmine.Zivonâs eyes went dark.ââŚâ The air fell into a death-like suffocating silence.One secondâŚTwo secondsâŚThree seconds laterâŚâAhh!â A loud scream pierced through the entire villa, causing the birds outside the window to scatter in shock.Xavia covered her eyes out of embarrassment. She couldnât wait to find a hole and hide there.Zivon just remained silent.With the way she screamed in the middle of the night, anyone who didnât know better would think he was sexually harassing her.Not to mentionâŚHe locked his eyes on a panic-stricken Xavia, and his voice turned low and husky because of a certai
Xavia: ââŚâThis best friend of hers was really toxic.Xavia was afraid that Dolly would be more brutal if they continued chatting. So she hung up the phone immediately, laid on her bed and forced herself not to think about what happened.âGo to bed! You wonât be embarrassed anymore after you fall asleep!ââŚIt was a sleepless night.When Xavia woke up the next morning, she had huge dark circles under her eyes.She didnât cook because of her hand injury. Nathan had already prepared breakfast beforehand, which was spaghetti. Zivon and Maison were both sitting at the dining table as a pair of big and small figures. The big figure was exquisitely elegant and unparalleled, and the small figure was very cool and adorable. They looked extraordinarily harmonious like a painting from the aristocratic century. The man then lifted his pair of profound looking eyes that looked like twinkling stars when he heard her approaching. Both of them instantly locked eyes and it felt as though th
How could that be?Xavia wanted to turn him down. However, Zivon spoke with a clear and calm voice. âStefan Talton must have his own reasons when he specifically requested your presence. He is not a fool and it just so happens that youâre injured now.âNathan quickly reacted. âOh, thatâs right! I forgot all about the injury and we almost gave it all away! Miss Lockhart, come with me. Iâll take you to the room and look for one of the future young mistressâs clothes that you can change into.âThe two men made all of the arrangements quickly. So, how could Xavia possibly have the opportunity to refuse?She had a headache as she looked at Maison. She was trying to get Maison to help her out by coming up with some ideas but as a result, the little boy said, âGood luck. I believe in you. Iâll wait for you at home.âXavia was speechless.Was this really her own son?Even though she was very reluctant and really didnât want to go, Xavia finally put on Jennaâs clothes in the end and wa
So, it turned out to be that way?Zivon was a little surprised. He has always been very vigorous and resolute in the business market and he would never involve his own personal feelings. On the contrary, Stefan actually placed his feelings first before everything else?âChairman Talton, you handle things differently compared to me. I think we will have a new experience if we collaborate. In addition, my wife and I have a very good relationship now.âAs Zivon spoke, he wrapped his arm around Xaviaâs waist to pull her closer to his side.His action came so suddenly and Xavia was completely caught off guard.Her nostrils were filled with his fresh and pleasant scent that smelled like the sun shining on the bamboo forest after the rain. His lukewarm arm was wrapped around her waist. She felt a hint of uneasiness in her heart as her breathing accelerated. They agreed to put on an act, but he never said anything about hugging!But she couldnât push him away at all due to the circumst
The expression on Zivonâs face instantly sank. His voice was very husky as he said, âXavia Lockhart, get up.âXavia, who was drunk and unconscious, felt very dizzy. She didnât know where she was at. She thought Yulia was the one speaking to her, so she murmured, âKnock it off. I want to rest for a whileâŚThis pillow is so uncomfortableâŚâAs she spoke, she wanted to move away in disdain. Zivon clenched his teeth. She was lying on him but she still dared to complain about him?âXavia Lockhart, Iâm going to repeat myself. Get lost.âHis low voice was filled with suppressed tolerance. It sounded very dangerous and commanding.Xavia only thought that he was noisy. She turned around and gently wrapped her soft arms around him to hug his waist. She said, âOh, babyâŚYouâre really misbehaving todayâŚBe good. Iâll hug you and we can sleep together.âBaby?This woman was actually treating him as one of her wild men!Zivonâs breath, which was initially warm, instantly became icy cold. He wa
Xavia originally planned to take care of Maison as soon as possible so that she could go back to her room and hide in order to avoid meeting Zivon. At this moment, she had a very embarrassed and unnatural look on her face.If she recalled correctly, she had been very rude to him last night and had completely overstepped the boundaries. She lowered her head hastily and apologized in a voice that was as small as a mosquito, âSorry, I was drunk last night.âZivon didnât expect Xavia to be in his room. When Zivon saw her awkward and embarrassed posture, he took off his suit jacket, put it aside and said, âYou should be sorry. It is the first time that Iâve ever been molested by a woman.âThe tone of his voice sounded very casual and Xavia could not tell whether he was ridiculing or reproaching her. No matter what it was, it made Xaviaâs face flush red and she felt her ears burning.Xavia felt very embarrassed and she had nowhere to hide. If she would have known that he would answer
Staring in shock at the kneeling man, Yulia mustered her remaining sanity as she replied, âB-but youâre younger-â âEven if thatâs the case, doesnât that mean that Iâm much more âcapableâ than your older pursuersâŚ?â âŚWhy were his words so suggestive all of a sudden?! Forcing herself to calm down, she took a deep breath before saying, ââŚElliot, Iâm not sure what spurred this decision, but⌠Iâm not the one for you. Please find someone your age. Iâm sorry.â After saying that, she strode straight for the car⌠but before she could start the engine, she couldnât help but notice how desolate he looked standing under the pouring rain⌠Clenching her fists, it took her a while to finally sigh and walk back to him⌠ââŚAre you really sure about this?â asked Yulia, much to Elliotâs delight. âI am! Please! Give me a chance! You wonât regret it!â âŚWhen he put it that way, all Yulia could do was help him up before finally deciding to return his kiss⌠Sure, things had taken a sudden, unex
She stared in horror as he removed his shirt right there and then! âW-what are you doing?!â yelped the startled woman as she quickly looked the other way. ââŚHuh? I mean, Iâm drenched, soâŚâ âE-even so, you shouldnât change right in front of me!â ââŚYulia, we bathed together as children⌠Itâs not like you havenât seen everything alreadyâŚâ âY-you canât compare that to this situationâŚ!â âFine, fine, I⌠Um⌠Go cook, I guess⌠Iâll go get a change upstairs firstâŚâ muttered Elliot as he headed upstairs. Yulia herself had to try her best to calm down! After all, Elliot had been plaguing her mind in the past few days, and⌠she even had dreams where he had⌠âŚNo! She couldnât be thinking about such things! She needed to cook! Maybe that would help get her mind out of the gutter! Once that was done, sheâd leave and finally start devising a plan to get rid of himâŚ! As Yulia scurried off, Elliot himself was currently staring at an old photo that showed him eating some candy in Yuliaâ
Just as she had arrived at her car, the president of the Halls Group suddenly walked up to her, a bouquet in hand! The Halls Group had collaborated several times with the Burtons before, and because of that, she was well acquainted with the man. Sadly, he had also proposed to her on multiple occasions⌠and though she kept rejecting him, he never seemed to get the hint! âThere you are, Miss Burton⌠Since youâre off work, I was wondering if youâd join me for dinner tonightâŚâ asked the charming man. Feeling awkward, she was just about to come up with an excuse when Elliot suddenly grabbed her by the waist and said, âOh? Another one of your admirers, YuliaâŚ? Sorry, but she already has a boyfriend, my man. If that doesnât deter you enough, then you should know that she prefers her partners younger. Now please leave.â Startled to hear that, the man glanced at Yulia, his eyes begging for an explanation⌠Yulia herself was eager to just escape this embarrassing situation, but before s
With that tale done, it was now time to return to Yuliaâs story⌠Ever since she was a child, she had undergone countless hardships with her mother⌠and even after she was able to reunite with her father, things didnât go much easier from there. To make matters worse, Fabiola ended up getting kidnapped for the longest time, resulting in Frank ending up the way he was today⌠Because of all that, it only made sense that sheâd mature much sooner than others her age, and unlike the naĂŻve girl she used to be, she was an extremely competent woman today. Alas, because of how used she became with working, she soon lost the urge to find herself a romantic interest⌠Things continued that way until⌠Well, that time that Elliot⌠âŚWait, what was she thinking?! He was younger than her, for heavenâs sake! Quickly shaking her head, she attempted to force herself to concentrate on work again⌠But before long, a knock was heard on the door. After being allowed in, the department manager entered t
Knowing that there was no point in keeping things a secret anymore, Rea took a deep breath before saying, ââŚAlright, so⌠The truth is, Iâve always been highly competent, but⌠Iâve been pretending to be useless just so that youâd eventually marry me⌠The trip my parents are taking⌠That was my suggestion tooâŚâ Feeling speechless, it took Frank a long while to reply, ââŚSo you werenât really drunk when you did all that last night?â Pursing her lips, Rea awkwardly muttered, ââŚI wasnât⌠Luna suggested it, and since it sounded like a good idea to accelerate thingsâŚâ âŚFucking hell, to think that he had fallen straight into her trap without even putting up a fight! Watching as he glowered at her, Rea gulped before adding, âA-anyway, now that weâre married and thereâs potentially a baby in my belly, you wonât divorce me, rightâŚ?â ââŚOh, believe me when I say that divorce is the easy way out! From today onward, Iâm making you pay for your actions for the rest of your life!â Fast forwa
Fast forward to the next morning, Rea awoke with a yawn⌠What a nice sleep⌠Wait. Why was she naked? And why was FrankâŚ?! Her following scream immediately woke the icy man up⌠and upon looking at her, he was immediately reminded of what had transpired last night! Essentially, Rea ended up clinging to him, and though he initially wanted to just carry her to bed to let her rest⌠Damn it! Had she really been that sensual?! How had he lost control so easily?! His train of thought was cut short when he realized that Rea was bawling her eyes out⌠and after rubbing his temples, he was prompted to say, ââŚWhy are you crying when youâre the one who initiated this? Iâll have you know that I never forced you-â âI-I know, butâŚ! Iâve justâŚ! This is my first timeâŚ!â whimpered the quivering woman, prompting Frank to purse his lips. As if he wasnât in the same situation⌠ââŚYouâre not alone there.â âItâs not the same! Men are free to sleep with whoever they want but when it comes to women, Iâl
âSay, wouldnât you agree that the food smells deliciousâŚ? Why donât I teach you how to grill, ReaâŚ? Oh, but make sure to take your clothes off first before we start! Wouldnât want them to get dirtyâŚâ With how drunk Rea was, she wasnât able to fully register his words⌠and just as he was about to touch her clothes, an icy voice roared, âStop right thereâŚ!â Instantly feeling a shiver run down his spine, the man turned around⌠and to his horror, it was Frank! Young Master Burtonâs perpetually icy sonâŚ! Why the hell was he here?! Before the frightened intern could think of how to even react, Frank walked up to him and growled, âLeave now before I chop your hands offâŚ! Donât make me repeat myself!â Nodding in terror, the man frantically bolted off⌠and once he was out of sight, Frank glared at the tipsy Rea before adding, âThis is what you meant by learning how to be more responsibleâŚ?!â âHuhâŚ? But the food really did smell super good⌠I want to learnâŚâ mumbled the drunk woman.
After leaving his office, he headed off to look for Rea. She had said that she wanted to use the bathroom, but⌠It had already been half an hour since she disappeared. What trouble had that idiot gotten herself into this time? Thankfully, it wasnât long before he found her laughing along with some of his interns⌠When the interns saw him, they were quick to bow and say, âGood morning, Mr. Burton.â Barely even glancing at them, Frank looked at Rea and said, âItâs time to head home.â âI⌠Wonât be following you backâŚâ ââŚAnd why is that? Are your parents back?â âNo, itâs just⌠These are my good friends back from school, and theyâve been staying together to learn to be more independent⌠With that said⌠I think that staying with them will be a good start for me to learn more about how the world works. Thank you for taking care of me up till this point, Frank⌠I wonât bother you anymore.â Raising a slight brow, Frank then looked at the interns for a while before saying, ââŚAre you
Regardless, after leaving her in the room, Frank returned to the shower to cool himself off⌠but no matter what he did, he simply remained irked. It got to the point where he couldnât relax at all, and after wrapping a towel around his waist, he grabbed his phone to send his father a text. âWas there really nobody else who couldâve taken care of Rea?â âWhat? Canât even care for a woman properly.â âIâm a busy man.â âI trust in your time management skills.â âŚThough he really wanted to tell Zivon that he had misplaced his trust in him, he didnât want to disappoint his father either. With that, all he could do was clench his fists before giving Reaâs parents a call⌠âHello? Frank? Why are you calling at this time of night?â ââŚWhen are you and Uncle Saltman returning, Aunt?â asked Frank who wanted them to take back their idiot already! ââŚHuh? What was that? Sorry, the line isnât very good⌠I hope Rea isnât giving you too hard a time! Donât worry, weâll be back after about a
