"Are you sober now?" After Xavia locked his phone, he averted his gaze, acting like nothing had happened."Yeah, I'm sober now." Leia pushed her hair behind her ear and nodded shyly."It's late now. Let me give you a ride home?""Okay." She nodded again, unusually docile. She always thought that Xavier never regarded her as a woman and that he didn't desire her, but when she saw those photos, she knew just how much he longed for her. He had liked her secretly for such a long time... and considered her his bedtime dessert. Of course, she would feel shy. Xavier hailed a cab and told the driver to drive to Osborne Mansion.Although Leia had her house, she spent most of her time staying in Osborne Mansion. Geronimo had five daughters before Leia and Liam were born, so naturally, he cherished the twins greatly. Liam had been traveling around the world for a year now, so he wasn't around at the moment. Hence, Geronimo and his wife focused all their attention on Leia instead. If Leia
"Mmph—!" Xavier would never have guessed that the previously shy and timid woman would suddenly become so passionate now. His body immediately tensed, and he didn't dare to move.Wrapping her arms around his neck, Leia closed her eyes tightly as she enthusiastically kissed the man before her, the alcohol in her body spurring her on. She had been unsure about Xavier's feelings for her in the past, but she was confident now after seeing those photographs today. "Xavier, just admit it—you like me. You don't have to pretend."She grasped the back of his head, demanding, "Tell me the truth!" Even though Xavier had always been able to handle the countless women who threw themselves at him, Leia was the first person who was so brave and enthusiastic.It was hard for him not to be moved..."Woman, are you a woodpecker? Where did you learn how to kiss? You're terrible at it!" He said hoarsely as he broke off the kiss, and then gently held her face in his hands, and leaned down. His eyes d
If Xavier and Liam ever bumped into each other in public, they'd usually be at each other's throats.Liam was wearing casual clothes at the moment, and his skin was tanned. He even had a brown cowboy hat on his head, complimenting his carefree look. He narrowed his eyes, sizing Xavier up before he stared at Leia solemnly. "I think you should see an eye specialist, sister dearest. Do you realize that man over there is the infamous playboy of Beach City who's fooled around with countless women? Even if you can't marry yourself off, you don't have to lower your standards this much.""No, you don't understand!" Leia stomped her feet and retorted angrily, "Being a playboy is just a pretence, he's actually a loyal man! I know we were prejudiced against him earlier because of Ren, but you can’t say that about him now!""Tsk! Women are bound to side with their men. How long have you been dating him? Are you both planning to elope?" "Ugh, you wouldn't understand. What we have is true love,
At last, Leia let Xavier go. If he stayed any longer, he and Liam might get into a fight, and then she would be forced to break up with him. "You heartless man! You travelled the world for such a long time. Did you have any unforgettable experiences? And the most important thing is... Did you come home with a gift for me?" Leia asked eagerly as she helped Liam carry his luggage into the house."The only gift I have for you is a slap! Do you want that? I need to knock some sense into a lovestruck fool like you!" Feeling sad that she had failed to live up to his expectations, he patted her cheeks and asked slowly, "Didn't you suffer another heartbreak recently? Why did you jump into another abyss after you just crawled out of one?" Liam's carelessness had led to the failed relationship between Leia and William in the past. If he had been more strict, his foolish sister wouldn't have been tricked. On the other hand, Xavier was an experienced and slick man—he was much more horrible t
Leia ran upstairs swiftly, all while joking around with him. "Say, Liam, you went on a little pity party trip and left for almost a whole year. But look at you; you still haven't moved on from her. Your little trip was such a waste; your heart, destined to stay with Ren all along…""Nonsense, I've moved on long ago.""Sure… and yet you still get nervous hearing her name."Suddenly, Leia remembered something and quickly became serious. "Though you did come back just in time. Azure Group is in shambles; they're being targeted, and Hunt Enterprise is leading this attack. Besides, Ren and that Stefan guy aren't even talking to each other, either. It's your time to win her back."Liam frowns as well. "That's exactly why I came back. Boss has two kids and a business to run. She can't juggle all of that all the time.""Right? I had to step up and help too. But I was too inexperienced and offended some people, I almost ended up in jail after being framed too!" Leia exclaimed. She was remi
Renee was also overjoyed to learn that Liam had returned to Beach City.She even went out of her way to prepare a grand banquet at a five-star hotel in the next city so that they could welcome him back. Her brother, Chase, and some of the founding members and leaders of the Azure Group were invited too.The luxurious banquet hall was decorated to specifically incorporate many of Liam's favorite elements, such as superheroes, sports cars, beautiful women, and so on.Quinton was wearing a black suit, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and leaning against the piano, watching as people walked by with a bored expression.However, he was the one who stood out the most. With the unique black feather mask on his face, it was quite hard to not get people to turn their heads.He wasn't exactly interested in this banquet. If not for his sister's pestering, along with the mention that the main character of this party was very important to her, he would not have attended.As the organizer o
Having wandered around for so long, he had experienced many odd adventures that he simply couldn't ever finish talking about. He always thought that he would be able to face this woman with a calm heart since he had endured quite a bit of training. However, at this very moment, his heart couldn't help but flutter uncontrollably."Hey, I showed you how much I missed you! And all I get is a ‘long time no see’? Come on, dude!" Renee was still quite overwhelmed, with tears in her eyes. She had so many things she wanted to say to Liam, but the man's indifference made it feel as if he didn't want to talk to her at all, which made her rather disappointed.After all, Liam was one of the few people who truly understood her. He was practically her soulmate, someone she could speak to day and night."Sorry, Boss. Leia told me everything that happened. I'm sorry I came so late. You must've suffered so much…" Liam's eyes reddened as he responded. In actuality, he was very excited to see he
She didn't expect Liam, whom she used to make fun of for his lack of martial skill, would become so agile after a mere year. He managed to dodge three attacks from Quinton, who nearly struck his vitals at one point.As Quinton tried to punch him straight in the chin, Liam turned and dodged it with ease. He got down and did a sweep kick in a fraction of a second.Quinton had great reflexes and immediately leaped into the air, attempting to grab Liam by the shoulder with his big hands.Even so, Liam's core strength was strong, and the attack didn't move him in the slightest. He then unleashed his next attack right after.The entire fight was tense and intriguing through and through, as the two were at a stalemate. This attracted a lot of attention from the guests."Great fight! Great fight!" The guests applauded and cheered loudly as if watching a professional match.Renee, too, was in absolute shock during the entire process. Her eyes widened. "I can't believe it. I really can't…
