What an adorable little girl.Xavia approached the bed carefully and laid her daughter down. After that, she placed the quilt over her daughter. As a result of playing for the whole day, Xavia fell asleep very quickly. As for taking a shower and other things, she would just get it done in the morning tomorrow.About ten minutes later, Yulia’s unusually dark and bright eyes opened in the darkness, cunningly and vividly. Yulia stretched out her small hand as she reached for Xavia’s cell phone. After she found it, she slowly took it from Xavia before sneaking out of bed. She walked into the bathroom, closed the door and called Zivon’s number.Zivon was in a very bad mood. He was very irritated and he couldn’t sleep at all after coaxing Maison to sleep.The image of Stefan and Xavia kept appearing in his mind. Damn it. What was he so concerned about?! Ring ring~ Ring ring! The cell phone’s ringtone sounded. Zivon picked up his phone and he saw that it was a phone call from Xavi
There was a low-profile and steady Maybach parked at the entrance.It seemed to be Stefan’s car.Just as she was thinking about it, the car door opened. Stefan, who was clad in a suit, got out of the car and walked over elegantly. “Good morning. I’m going to Young Master Zivon’s house to discuss some matters with him today. I thought you’re heading there as well, so I decided to stop by to pick you up since it’s more convenient.”Xavia was very surprised. “Thank you! Thank you very much. You’re such a nice person! Have you eaten breakfast yet? I have a lunch box here. Stefan had already eaten, but he smiled when he saw the beautiful lunch box that she had personally prepared. “It just so happens that I’m hungry now. Get in the car.”“Mm-hmm.” Xavia got into the car under his gentlemanly care and opened the lunch box for him. After Stefan got into the car, he took the lunch box from her politely as he tasted her cooking.Her cooking always gave him a sense of warmth and also a
Emotionless and merciless.Embarrassed, Xavia quickly placed the coffee in by his hand. “Sorry. I simply wanted to ask what I should do today since Maison is not here.”What should she do? She could do anything she wanted to as long as she didn’t appear in front of Stefan.Zivon’s eyes flashed for a moment, suddenly thinking of something. He parted his lips and said, “Go and pull out the grass on the lawn. Maison wants to swim when he comes back.”What?! Pull out the grass? Maybe she should pull him out instead! Was he treating her like she was a gardener?!Unfortunately, after looking at the man’s cold and chiseled face, Xavia felt very cowardly and didn’t dare to object. So she could only nod and retreat obediently. Stefan’s gaze deepened, but he simply smiled without saying a word. After that, he lowered his eyes and continued dealing with the business matters. The collaboration this time was related to the development of S City and it would also affect the economic life
Nathan slipped!“Ahh!” Nathan was caught off guard and collapsed immediately.As he fell, Nathan’s hand touched the mung beans and red beans that were placed under the sun to dry amidst the chaos. The two dustpans fell onto the ground, causing the beans to be scattered all over the floor. As for Nathan’s buttocks, they were hurting even more after the fall!“Mr. Miller! Are you okay?!” Xavia walked forward anxiously as she reached out her hand to help him up. Nathan rolled his eyes at her. Wasn’t her question just nonsense? Why didn’t she fall down instead and see if she would be okay then?As he was still in pain, he caught a glimpse of the pile of green mung beans and red beans on the ground, and his eyes suddenly lit up. There was something for her to do! There was something for her to do!His feeling of pain disappeared in an instant as he quickly stood up and said, “I wanted to ask you to come over and collect these beans just now. This is the little master’s favorite who
Xavia felt a headache coming up already. She knocked her head before she followed after him.Kindergarten.Since it was just after school hours, the wide school gate was filled with all kinds of luxury cars. The parents standing outside were either playing with their cell phones or chatting with one another. It was a very noisy and enthusiastic atmosphere. Zivon has never liked this kind of scene. Moreover, there was something that he had to deal with. He turned his car around and drove to the back door of the campus. After that, he got out of the car directly and entered the school.When the security guard saw that he was dressed in branded clothing, drove a luxury car, and also had an incomparably powerful aura belonging to that of those in leadership, he thought that it was a random inspection, so he didn’t dare to stop Zivon. Xavia didn’t say anything. In this world, a person with fame and reputation could really travel all around the world, but a person with no fame or repu
Zivon instinctively bent over as he opened up his arms and scooped up Little Bun.His wide embrace was very warm, and he gave Yulia a strong sense of reliance and security. She began to instantly pour out all of her grievances to Zivon. “Future Daddy, they bullied me. My little butt hurts…”Her pitiful small voice and her crystalline tears seemed to melt right into his heart. Zivon raised his hand and gently wiped the tears off her small face. “Don’t be scared. I’m here.”After he was done speaking, he had an extremely deep and cold look in his eyes as he stared at the teacher and the other children. “Didn’t you hear my command just now? I asked your principal to come over right now.” Anger. Everyone shuddered out of fear. There were other teachers at the side who saw that the situation wasn’t right and hurriedly went off to look for the principal.The teacher’s face was pale and she couldn’t figure out whenever Yulia had such a powerful parent. She tried to say, “Sir, what
“I won’t do it anymore.”It was only then that the principal turned around to ask Zivon, “Young master, are you satisfied now? Rest to be assured that no one in the kindergarten will dare to bully Yulia anymore in the future. We will also strengthen and improve our teacher management so that this kind of situation will not happen again.”He had a very respectful, polite and sincere attitude. No one had ever seen the principal behaving in this manner before. However, Zivon was high and mighty, not paying any attention to him at all. He simply hummed coldly, not even saying a word as he ignored the principal and left with Yulia in his arms.A few minutes after he left, there was still a dangerous aura lingering in the air. His assistant stepped forward and couldn’t help but ask, “Principal, who is he? You were actually being so respectful to him. You even dared to hit Bureau Director Zittlau’s son.”The other teachers also said, “That’s right. How are we going to explain this to
The child was very innocent. She was filled with expectations and trust.Zivon looked at the pitiful appearance of both the big and small figures. He couldn’t bear to turn her down, and he had no way to do so as well. Also, this kind of matter which incurred a person’s wrath and indignation made him very angry. If he hadn’t come to her school today, he wouldn’t know how long Yulia would have gotten bullied then. He parted his lips and hummed lightly. “Anyone who bullies you will receive the punishment that they deserve.” That teacher’s punishment was obviously too light…Yulia really trusted Zivon. She smiled and said, “I love you, Future Daddy! I’m not afraid of anything anymore because my future daddy is here.”Xavia looked at her daughter’s smiling face. It was only then that she realized that her daughter needed a father. A mother would never be able to give her that sense of support and security. She pursed her lips and wiped the tears off her face. After that, she looked
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
