Nathan lowered his head and pursed his lips before he said hesitantly, “Young Master, I just feel that… you seem to go beyond your limits for Miss Lockhart.”In the past, Zivon would never take a second glance at another woman, nor would he allow any woman to get close to him, let alone put himself in danger because of a woman.However, in just a few days, many accidents and unimaginable things had happened to Xavia again and again.Whenever this kind of unique situation arose, it was not a good idea for the man to rush headlong into the matter.Zivon squinted, his gaze was deep and dark.He knew very well that he had always been prone to acting rashly and impulsively when something concerned Xavia. So, he smiled coldly. “I have a sense of propriety.”“Yes.”***When Xavia left the treatment room, she deliberately took the tablet with her. She would never allow anyone else to see this video, and she would never let anyone know that it was Jenna.She took the tablet with her as
Jenna saw that Xavia’s mind seemed far away as she contemplated something, so she spoke up and interrupted Xavia.“Why did you come here to look for me?”Her slightly loud voice broke Xavia’s train of thoughts regarding the answer she was about to arrive at. Xavia came back to her senses and looked at Jenna, who was serious as she handed the tablet over to her. “This is for you.”Jenna frowned in confusion. What was it? Jenna took the tablet and opened it casually. She shuddered when she saw the image inside. That damned Luke Wilson! He had recorded a video! Bastard! Disgusting! Pervert! “No, that is not me. What makes you think that it’s me?! You’re crazy. Are you trying to frame me and set me up when you’re the unclean one?!”Xavia knew that no woman would be willing to admit to such a tragic matter. So, she could understand Jenna’s feelings.“I’m not thinking about anything. I did not explain anything when Luke Wilson came to the villa today. Up to this point, everyone st
He stood up, and he commanded her in a dignified and noble manner, “You can go back first. You don’t have to stay in the villa in the future. You can leave at seven o’clock.”Cold. Every single word that he uttered was as cold as ice. Xavia frowned. He had just been showing concern for her, but he suddenly turned so cold in an instant? Moreover, was she not allowed to stay in the villa anymore? Was it because her elder sister was injured?She felt an inexplicable emptiness in her heart. But, no, there was no emptiness at all. She would not even care about living in the villa if it weren’t because of Maison.She did not say anything, and she simply got up and left.After she disappeared, Zayne could not help but complained, “Young Master, don’t you think that your change in attitude was too quick? You should at least let her apply some medicine on her leg and put on a plaster first.”Zivon threw a cold glance at Zayne, signaling for him to shut up. After that, he walked over to t
He stared down at Jenna sharply. “She is your younger sister, but you’re actually listening to the rumors? So you are still thinking like that when things have come to this now?!“Jenna, I’ve always thought that you were a virtuous, outstanding, intelligent, and kind person, but now, it seems as though that is not the case.” After he said that, Zivon then left in a cold and dignified manner. Jenna, on the bed, was stunned. She only spoke about Xavia twice, and she had already provoked and made Zivon so angry!Moreover, Jenna was a patient now, and Jenna had already portrayed Xavia as a b*tch who had been used and violated by many others. So, why wasn’t Zivon despising Xavia? Zivon sat in the car, and the veins of his hands holding onto the steering wheel were bulging.Damn it! He lost control of his emotions because of Xavia again just now! What was so different about her? No matter what the difference was, deciding to stay away was the right decision.This was because he,
“Hehe! This is different. My heart beats frantically whenever I see him, and he is all I see when I close my eyes. I have a feeling that I’ll never like anyone else but him. Seriously. Trust me! I…”Just as Dolly was speaking with much conviction, her voice suddenly trailed away as it got softer and softer. Her gaze was fixed upon a handsome and noble figure walking over from the crowd as she exclaimed in surprise, “Wow! F*ck! Xavia, that man is really handsome! He is even more handsome than my guy!”Xavia was confused.Look! She was right. Dolly was just a thot who could say that she was deeply in love with someone before she moved on to another guy in the very next second.Xavia then followed Dolly’s line of sight as she looked over there and she was surprised. It was Stefan.Was he actually here?Stefan’s friends had dragged him here tonight, and he felt very bored. So he wanted to go out and get some fresh hair. However, he ran into Jenna unexpectedly. He walked over gracef
The late midnight snack lasted until ten o’clock at night.Xavia also had to pick Yulia up from her dance class. So, she looked at the time and said, “Chairman Talton, there is something that we have to do. So, we will leave first.”Stefan also stood up elegantly as he said, “That’s good. It would not be suitable for girls to stay in a bar until too late at night. I’ll drive the both of you.”“There is no need for that. Dolly has a car.” Xavia did not want to trouble him. Moreover, she still felt a little embarrassed because of the minor accident that happened earlier. As a result, Dolly, who was beside Xavia, said, “My car broke down just now, and I parked it at the side of the road. It has already been towed away by the traffic police.”Xavia was rendered speechless.What kind of good friend was this? Such a headache.Stefan smiled. “Let’s go. I am going back to Qhatley Manor, and it happens to be on the way.” As soon as he said that, he stretched his hand out in a gentlema
She had been suffering from dysmenorrhea every month ever since she gave birth to her children. Moreover, she would always be in pain throughout her entire menstruation period. She clutched onto her lower abdomen as she got out of bed gently before she went into the bathroom to put on a sanitary pad. After that, she looked for a painkiller and took it before she got back into bed to continue sleeping. It would not hurt anymore after she fell asleep. However, Xavia did not expect that the pain would get even worse and worse, and she could not sleep at all. Therefore, she was in pain all night long.Xavia could only ask Dolly to send Yulia to school in the morning. After that, she called Zivon to ask for leave. “Young Master Burton, I’m sorry, but I’m not feeling well. I will not be able to go over to take care of Maison for the next few days. Please tell Maison that I will spend more time accompanying him after I return.”She sounded feeble when she spoke because of the pain.
After hesitating for a moment, Zivon still did not feel at ease. So he took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Nathan. [Ask Zayne to go and find out what is wrong with Xavia.]Nathan, who received the text message, was not surprised.Sure enough. He already knew that the young master would not be able to hold back…Zivon finally felt peace and relief in his heart after sending the text message. He put his cell phone away and began talking to Stefan. Stefan stayed for a meal since the both of them could get along and because of the adorable Maison. There was exquisite western food, grilled marbled steak, a fresh sashimi platter, foie gras, French potage, coupled with a glass of red wine that was flown in by air today placed on the simple and modern dining table. Each of these dishes was all an exquisite and luxurious feast. Jenna waited for them to be seated before she smiled and said, “My cooking might not be as good as the Western restaurants, so I do not know if
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
