On the very next day, Dolly suddenly called Xavia out… and when they finally met, she was quick to say, “Congratulations on your grand success, Xavia! Let’s celebrate by taking a trip together!” “…Huh? Don’t tell me you’re still quarreling with Zayne and using me as an excuse to escape…” muttered Xavia. Shaking her head, Dolly replied, “No, no, we’re all good now… We’ve already agreed that he’s the breadwinner while I’m his bimbo, so there’s really nothing else to worry about. That aside, I just felt like we haven’t had a proper trip in like, what? Two years? After all, you’ve been busy with the kids, and well… all that had happened. So? What do you say? A trip with all of us together…” After giving it some thought, Xavia pursed her lips before muttering, “…I’d… rather not…” Recalling Fiona’s assassination attempt, Dolly was quick to say, “…I assure you that the same won’t happen again, especially now that we know better… If you’re still worried, however, feel free to get your
...But… Just the memory of Zivon getting stabbed, and the kids being thrown out into the sea… It was just too much…! “…How sure are you that this place is safe…? Sure, we no longer have any notable enemies now, but I really can’t afford to face another Fiona incident…” Upon hearing that, Chace replied, “Not to worry, we did a thorough security check, and the only crew members on board are people that we already know. No outsiders.” “Indeed. Zivon would never let lightning strike twice, and if something bad does happen, then feel free to end things with him!” added Zayne, prompting Zivon to glare at him. What the hell was he even saying?! Thankfully, Xavia found Zayne’s joke amusing enough to stop worrying for a bit… and before she could reply, Nathan walked up to everyone with a team of elite bodyguards following him! After a bow, Nathan said, “Fear not, Mrs. Burton. Aside from the bedrooms, every inch of the ship has cameras installed, so nobody is doing anything vile undete
“…Why did you only take close-ups of me?” Raising a slight brow, Zivon replied, “Isn’t photography all about the people in the pictures? And with how stunning my wife is, it only makes sense for me to take portrait photos of you…” “…Hey, the point of taking vacation pictures is to have the scenery in the background so that we can recall our fond memories. Don’t even think about sweet talking your way out of this one!” “Fine, fine, I’ll just take more, then…” Sadly, his scenery shots were… mediocre at best, and Xavia ended up shooing him away and telling Dolly that they should just take their own photos. As expected, Dolly agreed, and within seconds, the women were gleefully snapping away and praising each other’s shots, leaving the men speechless. Oh well… In the end, the trio simply sat in their sun chairs and enjoyed the view of their girls having fun all the way till evening came… With how glorious the evening rays were, Dolly couldn’t help but jump around like an enth
It was then that Xavia finally realized just how intimate their pose was… and after blushing a little, she quickly squirmed away before grumbling, “…I-if you’re not going to take this seriously, then I’m leaving!” Chuckling in response, Zivon then slipped his phone back into his pocket before pulling her close again as he said, “What? I’m only thanking my teacher for helping me get better… What’s wrong with that…?” …This man…! Biting his lower lip, she then grumbled, “…That’s for not taking things seriously…” Though he flinched a little, Zivon quickly smirked as he replied, “…Well, if you don’t want to be called teacher so much, then consider calling me that instead…” …She couldn’t even remember the last time that she had called him that, yet… the more she considered his words, the more awkward she became… and after a while, she shook her embarrassed head before grumbling, “…You like roleplay that much, huh? Since that’s the case, I have a perfect name for someone who demands s
As previously stated, Fabiola had only agreed to go to school to get closer to Neal… and so far, that determination had managed to carry her all the way to the sixth grade. With that, she started the day just like any other; by nibbling on her daily cupcake from her father and waiting outside the school gates for Neal… She had done this so much that the students no longer found her behavior odd… However, her actions also made her fall victim to some teasing and bullying… “Waiting for Neal again? I bet he’s grown so tired of you that he decided to come late!” Glaring at the cheeky boy, Fabiola snapped, “As if! He’s deeply in love with me, and if you keep spouting nonsense, then I’ll place a toad in your school bag!” Naturally, the boys weren’t about to continue taunting her, and they quickly ran off… Following a grunt, Fabiola was just about to continue munching on her cupcake when she suddenly heard the revving of a familiar engine… and upon turning around, she couldn’t help
Fast forward to Valentine’s Day, Fabiola took the effort to dress up in a nice, pink dress before heading over to the florist to get some flowers… Upon seeing her, the boss couldn’t help but ask, “Getting flowers for your Mommy, Sweetie?” “Nope! Daddy already got her flowers… I’m getting some for my future husband! Oh! These look nice! I want one please!” Chuckling in response, the boss then shook his head before saying, “Alright, little lady… Happy Valentine’s to you two!” After thanking him, Fabiola paid for the flower before running off with it. She remembered just how happy her mother had been when she saw her father’s flowers… Neal would definitely have the same reaction, right? In the end, she remained excited throughout her journey to school… and when she finally saw the boy of her dreams, she ran up to him and exclaimed, “Happy Valentine’s day, Neal! May we have many more Valentines to come!” Since she was now in class, the rest of her classmates quickly laughed at
Holding her friend’s hands, Fabiola asked, “Wait… You come to school by bicycle, right?” Feeling slightly embarrassed, Wanda muttered, “…Yeah, I do… Why?” Smiling widely, Fabiola replied, “Can I borrow it for a day?” She had once seen a couple riding a bicycle together and had found it incredibly romantic… Maybe that would be her ticket to getting Neal to finally fall for her! It was shortly after in the teacher’s lounge when Fabiola’s teacher could be heard asking, “…You want to take another leave? When your academic performance is already this terrible? Are you even trying anymore?” “Hey, it’s Valentine’s, so it’s natural to have a day off!” “…What?” “…Don’t worry about it, Miss! Anyway, I’ll see you tomorrow, bye!” replied Fabiola before running off, leaving her exhausted teacher speechless. This couldn’t go on… She would have to have a word with the girl’s parents! Either way, since Fabiola had no idea how to ride a bicycle, she soon walked over to Neal’s classroom
From that day onward, Fabiola stopped bothering Neal during schooling hours… and instead, she’d pull Wanda along to the basketball court to cheer on him! “Go, go Neal! You can do it you’re the best!” Understandably envious because of her cheering, one of the fatter boys couldn’t help but grumble, “…Hey, cheer on the rest of us too…” “Hah! As if I’d cheer for someone who can’t even reach the hoop!” Naturally, this left the other boys speechless, and Fabiola simply continued cheering Neal on, even though he was too focused on the game to even bother with her right now… Alas, this only made Fabiola cheer even louder, and the other girls who were there couldn’t help but scoff, “Hey, you’re a natural megaphone, you know that?” “Right? It’s like you’re the entire cheerleading squad!” Upon hearing that, Wanda meekly muttered, “U-um… Maybe tone it down a little…” Rolling her eyes, Fabiola replied, “No way! He’s too cool to deserve anything less, and I won’t listen to those jeal
