With how adorable she was being, Zivon couldnât help but gently rub her shoulders as he said, âAlright, go back to sleepâĶ Iâm hereâĶâ Upon hearing that, it didnât take long for Xavia to drift back to sleepâĶ Zivon himself continued enjoying her warmth and scentâĶ that is, until he felt a moist sensation on his arm. Raising a slight brow, he then checked to see what had caused thatâĶ and as it turned out, Xavia was leaking breast milk in her sleep. Being the clean freak that he was, he couldnât help but freeze for a moment before whispering, ââĶXavâĶ? You may need to change your clothesâĶâ Alas, she gave no response, and he couldnât bear to wake her up when she was already sleeping so soundly. Feeling helpless, all he could do was gently undress her before undressing his own shirt. Following that, he wiped both of them cleanâĶ and after disposing of the wet tissues, he wrapped her in his arms again before falling asleep as wellâĶ Though Xavia slept incredibly soundly that night, she co
...She had only said all that for his benefit! To think that he wanted to put things into motion that quickly! Now redder than ever, the flustered woman replied, âH-hold on! I think I remember the doctor saying that we shouldnât be too sexually active until at least three months after the birthing process!â Chuckling in response, Zivon then kissed her on the lips before saying, âSo, after that invitation youâre now trying to worm your way out of thisâĶ? It makes me wonder whether you enjoy torturing meâĶâ âĶDamn it! Had she known that this would happen, then she wouldnât have suggested anything in the first place! Pursing her lips, she eventually muttered, âI-I was just saying all that as a reminderâĶâ âOhâĶ? Since when did such things require remindingâĶ?â âĶSomehow, the more she explained, the worse the situation became! In the end, all she could do was push him away before running offâĶ and now that his arms were empty, Zivon couldnât help but feel slightly bummed. âĶBah, she was
Her actions were extremely adorable to Zivon, and he couldnât help but plant a gentle kiss on her cheek. Following that, he wheeled himself off to make breakfastâĶ but unbeknownst to him, his words had made Xavia feel genuinely guilty. After all, she had genuinely wanted to hand the gift to him last night, thinking that it would further strengthen their bond. Alas, she had fallen asleep at the last momentâĶ That aside, why was she still so shy around him? They literally already had four kids! How annoying! Following a sigh, she grabbed her phone and began looking up how much longer it would take before she could sleep with him again following her C-sectionâĶ and as it turned out, she needed to wait for at least forty-two days. Thankfully, that period had already passed, which meant that she just had to please him more so that last nightâs incident wouldnât repeatâĶ Either way, after finishing breakfast, Zivon was prompted to say, âSoâĶ Hershel is in pretty bad shape, and he canât even
Before Sophia could even reply, she felt a tap on her shoulderâĶ and upon turning around, she was greeted by the sight of a woman equally as beautiful as she was. However, unlike her, the woman had a far better temperament, at least compared to how her current state wasâĶ Xavia herself couldnât help but beam when she saw the woman. After all, it was none other than Tiffany! This was her chanceâĶ âGreetings, Miss. Sir Ian sent me over to-â âTake care of the kids? Yeah, Iâm sure youâll do an excellent job. After all, heâs already told me that youâre extremely capable. RegardlessâĶ As you can see, Miss Harrison, Ian has already gotten me a maid. Between the three of us, you should know that Ian has a thing for her, so weâre hoping to strengthen our bonds through this interaction.â Naturally, Sophia felt bummed about all this. After all, since both Xavia and Ian were in on this, there really wasnât much else that she could do. With that in mind, she stared at the stroller for a bit bef
As if that wasnât already enough, he even asked her whether he should proceed to prove that there was nothing wrong with himâĶ but naturally, Tiffany wasnât about to let things continue! In the end, she bolted out of his office. Just thinking about that incident made her heart beat like crazyâĶ Shaking her head, she eventually concluded, ââĶSoâĶ Yeah. Thereâs nothing wrong with himâĶâ Naturally, this left Xavia speechless. So, not only was Ian fine, but he had even gone to such lengths just to prove himselfâĶ?! Following a sigh, Xavia muttered, ââĶThough Iâm glad that my brother is fine, Iâm sorry for all the trouble I caused you, Miss SchumanâĶ Honestly, though, with how outstanding he is, why donât you try getting along with him?â Eyes widening in shock, Tiffany was quick to reply, âI-I canât! The last thing I want is to taunt him any further, and we already know that heâs fine now anywayâĶ Regardless, I have some other things to do, so Iâll be taking my leave first.â Watching as Ti
Eager for some rest, she quickly answered the doorâĶ but to her surprise, it wasnât Zivon at all. Instead, it was Mark and Matthew! Staring at the two refined men, Xavia couldnât help but ask, ââĶMark? Dr. Rudner? What brings you two hereâĶ?â Clearing his throat, Mark explained, âThereâs something I need to discuss with you. As for why Matthew is hereâĶ I was just worried that your husband would misunderstand me if I came alone.â âĶTruly as considerate as ever. Before Xavia could reply, the babies began crying againâĶ and following a subtle sigh, she was prompted to say, âUmâĶ Come in for nowâĶ Iâll go handle the babies first. Donât worry, I wonât belong.â With that, she quickly began coaxing the babies againâĶ but just as before, they were extremely difficult to pacify! Sure, she was good-tempered, but even she knew that sheâd go insane if this continued any longer! That realization made her feel extremely bitter. After all, had she not taken that drug back then, then the babies could
âDonât worry, heâs been the one taking good care of the twins whenever Iâm not at home. In fact, heâs only absent for now because his father is seriously illâĶ Also, he did suggest getting the kids a nanny, but since Sophia was the one who volunteered, I ended up turning her downâĶ Oh, and the babies arenât usually this noisyâĶ Theyâre usually quite well-behavedâĶâ Upon hearing that, Mark couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief. That was good to knowâĶ If Zivon had seriously been making her do all the hard work, then he wouldnât have just let things continue that wayâĶ Shaking his head, Mark then asked, âI seeâĶ That aside, why arenât you breastfeeding the babies insteadâĶ?â Awkwardly averting her gaze, Xavia muttered, ââĶLetâs just say I accidentally took a potent drug and Von told me not to breastfeed the kids till the drug was completely out of my systemâĶâ Following a slight pause, Matthew replied, âSoâĶ Heâs been feeding the babies powdered milk for a while now?â After Xavia nod
Due to how embarrassed Xavia was, she failed to notice Zivonâs presenceâĶ and as for Mark, he finally realized why Xavia was being so fidgety all of a sudden. His embarrassment was evident, and that only served to increase Xaviaâs awkwardness! In the end, she managed to pry herself from his arms before quickly exclaiming, âT-thanks! IâĶ! UmâĶ! Iâll be heading back to my room first-â âWait,â interrupted Mark as he looked around them and began plucking a few flowers from the garden. Naturally, this left Xavia confused. What on earth was he doing? After handing her a bunch of lilies, he was prompted to add, âHold onto these. So that you can hide your bosom if you bump into MatthewâĶâ Now understanding his motive, Xavia beamed and replied, ââĶThatâs a great idea! Thank you, Mark!â With that said, she quickly ran into the house, prompting Mark to smileâĶ It was shortly after Xavia had changed her clothes when Matthew said, âXavia? The results are out, and according to the data, youâre
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 pursuersâĶ?â âĶWhy were his words so suggestive all of a sudden?! Forcing herself to calm down, she took a deep breath before saying, ââĶElliot, Iâm not sure what spurred this decision, butâĶ Iâm not the one for you. Please find someone your age. Iâm sorry.â After saying that, she strode straight for the carâĶ but before she could start the engine, she couldnât help but notice how desolate he looked standing under the pouring rainâĶ Clenching her fists, it took her a while to finally sigh and walk back to himâĶ ââĶAre you really sure about this?â asked Yulia, much to Elliotâs delight. âI am! Please! Give me a chance! You wonât regret it!â âĶWhen he put it that way, all Yulia could do was help him up before finally deciding to return his kissâĶ 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. ââĶHuh? I mean, Iâm drenched, soâĶâ âE-even so, you shouldnât change right in front of me!â ââĶYulia, we bathed together as childrenâĶ Itâs not like you havenât seen everything alreadyâĶâ âY-you canât compare that to this situationâĶ!â âFine, fine, IâĶ UmâĶ Go cook, I guessâĶ Iâll go get a change upstairs firstâĶâ 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, andâĶ she even had dreams where he hadâĶ âĶNo! 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 himâĶ! 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 occasionsâĶ and though she kept rejecting him, he never seemed to get the hint! âThere you are, Miss BurtonâĶ Since youâre off work, I was wondering if youâd join me for dinner tonightâĶâ 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, YuliaâĶ? 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 explanationâĶ 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 storyâĶ Ever since she was a child, she had undergone countless hardships with her motherâĶ 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 todayâĶ Because of all that, it only made sense that sheâd mature much sooner than others her age, and unlike the naÃŊve 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 interestâĶ Things continued that way untilâĶ Well, that time that ElliotâĶ âĶWait, 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 againâĶ 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, ââĶAlright, soâĶ The truth is, Iâve always been highly competent, butâĶ Iâve been pretending to be useless just so that youâd eventually marry meâĶ The trip my parents are takingâĶ That was my suggestion tooâĶâ Feeling speechless, it took Frank a long while to reply, ââĶSo you werenât really drunk when you did all that last night?â Pursing her lips, Rea awkwardly muttered, ââĶI wasnâtâĶ Luna suggested it, and since it sounded like a good idea to accelerate thingsâĶâ âĶFucking 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, rightâĶ?â ââĶOh, 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 yawnâĶ What a nice sleepâĶ Wait. Why was she naked? And why was FrankâĶ?! Her following scream immediately woke the icy man upâĶ 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 restâĶ 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 outâĶ and after rubbing his temples, he was prompted to say, ââĶWhy are you crying when youâre the one who initiated this? Iâll have you know that I never forced you-â âI-I know, butâĶ! Iâve justâĶ! This is my first timeâĶ!â whimpered the quivering woman, prompting Frank to purse his lips. As if he wasnât in the same situationâĶ ââĶYouâre 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 deliciousâĶ? Why donât I teach you how to grill, ReaâĶ? Oh, but make sure to take your clothes off first before we start! Wouldnât want them to get dirtyâĶâ With how drunk Rea was, she wasnât able to fully register his wordsâĶ and just as he was about to touch her clothes, an icy voice roared, âStop right thereâĶ!â Instantly feeling a shiver run down his spine, the man turned aroundâĶ and to his horror, it was Frank! Young Master Burtonâs perpetually icy sonâĶ! 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 offâĶ! Donât make me repeat myself!â Nodding in terror, the man frantically bolted offâĶ 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 responsibleâĶ?!â âHuhâĶ? But the food really did smell super goodâĶ I want to learnâĶâ 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, butâĶ 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 internsâĶ 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 âIâĶ Wonât be following you backâĶâ ââĶAnd why is that? Are your parents back?â âNo, itâs justâĶ These are my good friends back from school, and theyâve been staying together to learn to be more independentâĶ With that saidâĶ 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, FrankâĶ I wonât bother you anymore.â Raising a slight brow, Frank then looked at the interns for a while before saying, ââĶAre you
Regardless, after leaving her in the room, Frank returned to the shower to cool himself offâĶ 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 âĶThough 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 callâĶ âHello? Frank? Why are you calling at this time of night?â ââĶWhen are you and Uncle Saltman returning, Aunt?â asked Frank who wanted them to take back their idiot already! ââĶHuh? What was that? Sorry, the line isnât very goodâĶ I hope Rea isnât giving you too hard a time! Donât worry, weâll be back after about a
