‘Familiarity breeds fondness’…These words sounded beautiful and warm on the outside, but in reality it contained another deeper meaning of love and ambiguousness!Kevin’s expression changed as he stood up. “What do you mean? Are you saying that Xavia Lockhart has already slept with Zivon Burton?”Matthew glanced at Jenna on the bed and replied smoothly, “I was just talking about the situation. Young Master Kevin, you don’t need to get angry.”“Even if you’re just talking about the situation, I don’t want you to mention it in front of Jenna.” Kevin did not want Jenna to hear it.She was already unconscious. How cruel would it be for her to hear such words? “Um…” However, a weak voice sounded in the air at this moment.Both of them turned around and saw Jenna moving on the bed!It was her voice!“Jenna! Jenna, are you awake?!”“Miss Lockhart! Miss Lockhart, can you hear me?”***That night, Xavia slept late and was awakened by the ringing of her cell phone at seven o’clock
What kind of person was he? Did she say anything wrong? Why was he so angry?“Why? Do you still want to stay and watch me change?”His raised voice was already very ambiguous to begin with, not to mention the fact that he was naked and they were so close to each other at this moment!As Xavia’s small face was flushed, she shook her head fiercely. “No. No. I’m going out.”Xavia quickly ran out. Zivon retracted his gaze and walked to the locker room with a cold face.Xavia patted her red and hot face outside the door, distressed and depressed. Mrs. Lockhart’s tone in the phone call earlier was clearly of an instruction. If Zivon did not go with her, Xavia would not be able to report back to her at all. They might even think that Xavia deliberately interfered because she did not want Jenna to wake up.No. She had to take Zivon over there and put an end to these miserable days!About ten minutes later, Zivon came out of the dressing room. He was impeccably dressed and looked nob
She stretched out her hand and took Cara’s cell phone directly. After that, she hung up the phone.“Madam Fuller, what evidence do you have for coming here to cause trouble for no reason? It’s fine if you want to call the police but you better think about the consequences of your actions. If things are not as what you say they are, you will not only have to compensate for the loss, but you will also be imprisoned.“Can you afford to bear such a consequence?” Cara was stunned after getting questioned.A stranger suddenly showed up at her doorstep last night, asking her to come to Darlsbury to identify Xavia Lockhart. If she could get this done, he would give her one million dollars.To identify Xavia Lockhart? Wasn’t that a simple task? So, she rushed over here immediately. However, now that Xavia had said such harsh words with serious consequences, she knew that she really would not be able to afford the consequences…When Xavia saw that Cara seemed to be guilty and fearful, s
It was half past ten.Zivon arrived at the Burton family’s old mansion with Xavia.When Dylan saw them, he greeted them with a kind face and a smile. “Zivon, Sister-in-law, you both are back so early. You seem to care about Grandma very much. She will definitely be very happy to know about it.”It sounded like a greeting and a compliment. In fact, he was implying that the appointment was at noon, but why were they back so early?Zivon replied calmly, “Filial piety always comes first. Therefore, it is only natural for us to place Grandma in the first place. Jenna, go up and give Grandma a massage.”Xavia nodded and followed Zivon upstairs.Dylan stood downstairs as he looked at the two figures. When they disappeared completely, he stretched out his hand and beckoned at Charles. “Keep a close eye on her today. Don’t ever give her a chance to leave the old mansion.”“Don’t worry, Eldest Uncle. I’ve already talked to several maids and asked them to keep an eye on Aunt-in-law. Let’s
Zivon smiled. “You’re even more delicious than lunch.”After that, Zivon stood his tall stance up and wrapped one arm around her thin waist. After that, he clasped one hand behind her head to deepen the kiss.At the same time, he moved toward the door. “Mm! Mm!” Xavia struggled and her whole body tensed up. However, she had limited strength, so she was unable to push him away.Bang! The man kicked the room door shut with just one foot.The air in her lungs was sparse and she felt as if she was about to suffocate!He finally let go of her lips at this moment.As soon as she caught her breath, Xavia raised her hand in anger and she was about to slap Zivon.Who did he think she was? A hostess or a companion working at the bar?However.Zivon seemed to know what she was about to do and his powerful hand restrained her hand first as he said in an extremely deep voice, “Someone is watching us.”What? Watching them?!In other words, when he asked her to massage him at the begin
Restaurant.Cara sat at the table and she looked at the time on her cell phone. It was already 11.40am. Why wasn’t Xavia here yet?She took out her cell phone and she was about to make a phone call when a soft voice suddenly sounded. “Mommy, are we going to see Grandma? I don’t want to see Grandma.”That voice…wasn’t it that little girl Yulia’s voice?Cara looked over there and she saw Xavia holding Yulia’s hand as they were walking toward her. She had a slightly startled expression on her face and she put down her cell phone and asked, “Why are the both of you only here now?”Xavia walked over and sat down with Yulia as she replied in a calm and cold tone, “Darlsbury is so big and it is very easy to get stuck in a traffic jam here. Do you think that it is as convenient as S City over here? Speak up. Why did you call me here? I have to work and my time is limited.”Cara frowned and asked, “Work? What kind of work do you have in Darlsbury?” Xavia had already prepared for this
He failed to notice that as soon as he left, the cleaning aunt ran into the house. After that, Xavia came out of the house, wearing the same clothes as the cleaning aunt!The both of them had exchanged identities!As soon as Xavia left the apartment, she got into the car arranged by Nathan. After that, she rushed back to the Burton family’s old mansion. At this moment in the Burton family’s old mansion, Dylan and Charles were sitting in the living room as they gazed upstairs from time to time while having obvious doubts in their hearts. “They didn’t come out after going in.”“I’m not sure. Maybe, it’s just an act.” “Ahh? Eldest Uncle, are you saying that there might be a scheme here? Then we should go up and take a look now!” Charles said. After that, he got up and went upstairs directly. With Uncle Zivon’s pure and noble nature, he should be paying attention to his own image instead of engaging in lovemaking during the day. He had to see what was going on inside.“Oh. Young
There was a special aura flowing in the air.Xavia then realized that she was in a really awkward position with him! Moreover, she took off her clothes directly just now because of time constraints so that she could really expose her shoulders and neck in the act. It was too…intimate!“They are already gone. Move away.” Xavia blushed and raised her hand to push him away directly before she pulled up the quilt to cover herself. Zivon withdrew his gaze. After that, he got up, got out of bed and walked toward the closet. He took out his shirt, pants, tie and suit jacket with his long and slender fingers before putting them on one by one. Each of his movements were all extremely noble and elegant. It seemed as though it was a crime for him to be wearing clothes. After that, he took a set of women's clothes before walking over to the bed and throwing it in front of her. “Wear this set of clothes.”“Huh? The set of clothes on the floor is not spoiled.” Xavia’s thoughts were still
Staring in shock at the kneeling man, Yulia mustered her remaining sanity as she replied, “B-but you’re younger-” “Even if that’s the case, doesn’t that mean that I’m much more ‘capable’ than your older pursuers…?” …Why were his words so suggestive all of a sudden?! Forcing herself to calm down, she took a deep breath before saying, “…Elliot, I’m not sure what spurred this decision, but… I’m not the one for you. Please find someone your age. I’m sorry.” After saying that, she strode straight for the car… but before she could start the engine, she couldn’t 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… “…Are you really sure about this?” asked Yulia, much to Elliot’s delight. “I am! Please! Give me a chance! You won’t regret it!” …When 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! “W-what are you doing?!” yelped the startled woman as she quickly looked the other way. “…Huh? I mean, I’m drenched, so…” “E-even so, you shouldn’t change right in front of me!” “…Yulia, we bathed together as children… It’s not like you haven’t seen everything already…” “Y-you can’t compare that to this situation…!” “Fine, fine, I… Um… Go cook, I guess… I’ll go get a change upstairs first…” 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… …No! She couldn’t be thinking about such things! She needed to cook! Maybe that would help get her mind out of the gutter! Once that was done, she’d leave and finally start devising a plan to get rid of him…! As Yulia scurried off, Elliot himself was currently staring at an old photo that showed him eating some candy in Yulia’
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! “There you are, Miss Burton… Since you’re off work, I was wondering if you’d join me for dinner tonight…” 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, “Oh? Another one of your admirers, Yulia…? Sorry, but she already has a boyfriend, my man. If that doesn’t deter you enough, then you should know that she prefers her partners younger. Now please leave.” 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 Yulia’s 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 didn’t 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 she’d mature much sooner than others her age, and unlike the naïve 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… …Wait, what was she thinking?! He was younger than her, for heaven’s 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, “…Alright, so… The truth is, I’ve always been highly competent, but… I’ve been pretending to be useless just so that you’d eventually marry me… The trip my parents are taking… That was my suggestion too…” Feeling speechless, it took Frank a long while to reply, “…So you weren’t really drunk when you did all that last night?” Pursing her lips, Rea awkwardly muttered, “…I wasn’t… Luna suggested it, and since it sounded like a good idea to accelerate things…” …Fucking 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, “A-anyway, now that we’re married and there’s potentially a baby in my belly, you won’t divorce me, right…?” “…Oh, believe me when I say that divorce is the easy way out! From today onward, I’m making you pay for your actions for the rest of your life!” 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 Frank…?! 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, “…Why are you crying when you’re the one who initiated this? I’ll have you know that I never forced you-” “I-I know, but…! I’ve just…! This is my first time…!” whimpered the quivering woman, prompting Frank to purse his lips. As if he wasn’t in the same situation… “…You’re not alone there.” “It’s not the same! Men are free to sleep with whoever they want but when it comes to women, I’l
“Say, wouldn’t you agree that the food smells delicious…? Why don’t I teach you how to grill, Rea…? Oh, but make sure to take your clothes off first before we start! Wouldn’t want them to get dirty…” With how drunk Rea was, she wasn’t able to fully register his words… and just as he was about to touch her clothes, an icy voice roared, “Stop right there…!” Instantly feeling a shiver run down his spine, the man turned around… and to his horror, it was Frank! Young Master Burton’s perpetually icy son…! Why the hell was he here?! Before the frightened intern could think of how to even react, Frank walked up to him and growled, “Leave now before I chop your hands off…! Don’t make me repeat myself!” Nodding in terror, the man frantically bolted off… and once he was out of sight, Frank glared at the tipsy Rea before adding, “This is what you meant by learning how to be more responsible…?!” “Huh…? But the food really did smell super good… I want to learn…” 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 wasn’t long before he found her laughing along with some of his interns… When the interns saw him, they were quick to bow and say, “Good morning, Mr. Burton.” Barely even glancing at them, Frank looked at Rea and said, “It’s time to head home.” “I… Won’t be following you back…” “…And why is that? Are your parents back?” “No, it’s just… These are my good friends back from school, and they’ve 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 won’t bother you anymore.” Raising a slight brow, Frank then looked at the interns for a while before saying, “…Are 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 couldn’t relax at all, and after wrapping a towel around his waist, he grabbed his phone to send his father a text. ‘Was there really nobody else who could’ve taken care of Rea?’ ‘What? Can’t even care for a woman properly.’ ‘I’m a busy man.’ ‘I trust in your time management skills.’ …Though he really wanted to tell Zivon that he had misplaced his trust in him, he didn’t want to disappoint his father either. With that, all he could do was clench his fists before giving Rea’s parents a call… “Hello? Frank? Why are you calling at this time of night?” “…When are you and Uncle Saltman returning, Aunt?” asked Frank who wanted them to take back their idiot already! “…Huh? What was that? Sorry, the line isn’t very good… I hope Rea isn’t giving you too hard a time! Don’t worry, we’ll be back after about a
