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
Charles instantly felt as though he had just fallen from heaven to hell. He had a very anxious expression on his face as he said, “Uncle Zivon, I don’t want to go to Africa. You should also know that I’ve only just gotten married recently and I’m preparing to have a baby with Cecilia. I cannot leave at this time.”“Uncle Zivon, I beg you. Can you give me a different form of punishment instead? Why don’t you arrange for me to go to the company to do odd jobs for you for a month instead?” Charles said in panic. After all, he would also be humbling himself and lowering his own status if he were to do odd jobs for a month.However, the cold expression on Zivon’s face did not change one bit. He knitted his brows and said, “Punishment? Charles, you’re worrying too much about it. I already told you that it’s just a trivial matter and there’s no need for me to be angry about it. Moreover, I am asking you to go to the African branch because I want to promote you and I want you to exercise you
Everything turned dark and Xavia lost all strength in her body.A long time passed.In the evening.Ring ring~ Ring ring~ Nathan’s cell phone rang. He glanced at Zivon who was rigorously handling official business at the desk and exited the study room quietly to answer the call. “Hello?”“Mr. Miller, when will Miss Lockhart be coming over? I think the person-in-charge of monitoring and keeping an eye on her has already retreated. If it is inconvenient, should I wear a mask directly and bring Yulia back? Or should I continue staying here?”“What? Miss Lockhart didn’t go there? That’s impossible. We sent her to the entrance of the alley a long time ago.”“Mr. Miller, she really didn’t come here. Why don’t you try contacting her and see?”“Okay. Wait for my news.”Nathan hung up the phone directly and he quickly dialed Xavia’s cell phone. “Sorry. The number that you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later,” The official customer service broadcast message sounded over
His voice was unusually cold and condescending. Even the air pressure in the atmosphere was also very low. Nathan could tell that Zivon’s patience was very limited. Nathan couldn’t say anything.How was he going to answer Zivon at this point? If he were to say that there was no news either, the young master would certainly be angry! He would then end up becoming cannon fodder again! Ding ding~ Fortunately, at this time, a text message sounded. It was a report from the frontline.It was too timely!Nathan quickly read it and replied, “Young Master, one of our men has retrieved the surveillance video from the old mansion and he was responsible for supervising Charles Burton for the whole afternoon. After Charles Burton left the living room, he didn’t meet with any outsiders, nor did he make any phone calls at all. He spent the whole afternoon with the master as he was asking him to find you to intercede on his behalf. It doesn’t seem to be him.”Who else could it be if it wasn’t
The broken door was kicked down and it fell to the ground.Amongst the dust rising, a tall and slender man walked in with a big black dog.He was noble, dazzling, and the lines on his face were incomparably cold and tense under the light. He looked like the devil who came from hell, and he was terrifying and intimidating!Even one glance at him was extraordinarily daunting and made people feel like kneeling down in submission!It was him!He was here!Xavia instantly burst into tears.She was saved. He came to save her. Zivon saw the woman who had tears all over face as she was pinned down on the broken bed. He felt as if his heart had been hit with a heavy object or had been pierced by an extremely sharp object, and he felt as if he was in pain and was very distressed. His eyes fell. He threw the rope in his hand, unbuttoned his suit jacket directly and walked over there. Woof! Woof! Blackie seemed to be able to sense its master’s anger as it pounced fiercely towards the
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
