Chapter 11

Xavier didn't know if Jamie was being sarcastic or truly calling him pathetic. At any rate, under this circumstance, he just stared at her without moving a muscle.Jamie frowned slightly. Then, she let out a soft exclamation and "accidentally" fell right into his arms. Her lips pressed firmly against him on the lips too.This would probably be the very last time she'd ever get to be so physically intimate with Xavier. She did this to nip her feelings for him in the bud and also to destroy any chances of him getting together with her, if ever.She remembered from her past life that Xavier only finally sent her abroad after he couldn't put up with her anymore."Jamie Norman!" Xavier exclaimed, his voice low and threatening. A split second later, he grabbed Jamie and dragged her off his body.He used so much power to pull her away that he left angry red marks around her wrists. However, he still had no intention of letting go of her.His eyes were cold and terrifying. "How dare you!

By then, Xavier had already tapped on the WhatsApp icon on Jamie's phone and opened up Alvin's messaging window on it. Alvin had sent Jamie a voice message."You don't have to pay me back for lunch. Just treat me to a coffee next time."Alvin's voice sounded very nice and youthful. Jamie could already imagine Alvin's facial expression just by listening to his voice. He'd be looking at her a little helplessly, a little frustratedly, yet quite endearingly.Of course, Xavier also heard the voice message. He could also tell from Jamie's expression that she was happy to hear from him.Xavier's eyes darkened even more. Jamie managed to snatch her phone away from Xavier's hands. She wanted to reply to Alvin. She knew Alvin rarely replied to anybody's messages because he liked being a lone ranger.So, did this mean that she was already someone special in his heart?Jamie had completely forgotten about Xavier's presence, and this angered Xavier even more.Xavier had been treating Jamie l

Jamie held her hand against Xavier's chest, trying to push him away. It was a sign of her distress. However, when she did that, she suddenly realized something.Gradually, Jamie calmed down, her dark eyes boring straight into Xavier's.Xavier gulped. He then lowered himself until his nose nearly grazed against Jamie's. However, the dangerous look in his eyes was still there."You're drunk, Uncle Xav. I'm calling Andrea to ask her to pick you up," Jamie said bluntly.As soon as Andrea's name was mentioned, Xavier seemed to have returned to sobriety. He stared at the mess before him and took a deep breath. However, he maintained a cold look on his face, like he hadn't been affected at all.That was because he knew very well that he'd started lusting after Jamie ever since the day she threw herself at him and tried to seduce him.The suppressed emotions felt like a caged-up beast inside of him, and it could tear through its confines at any moment.If that happened, then nothing cou

Jamie said nothing. She just stood there silently.Xavier took a bank card from his wallet and placed it on the old coffee table."You're still someone I brought up and looked after for years, so here's a card with a sum of money in it. The passcode is your birthday. The money in this card should be enough for you to live off of for the rest of your life," Xavier said.Jamie lowered her head and didn't reject his offer. However, she didn't make a move to accept the card either."I won't be coming for you anymore from today onward." Xavier enunciated each work properly. "Look after yourself well.""Okay," Jamie said, still acting calmly with him.She could see Xavier's eyes turning icy-cold when she answered him like that. Then, less than a second later, he turned on his heels and left the apartment unit without looking back.The door closed after him, leaving only Jamie behind in the lonely, empty apartment.Jamie picked up the card and felt her eyes stinging with tears as her

Andrew frowned as he watched Jamie up ahead. "Mr. Lockhart, it's too dangerous for Ms. Norman to be standing there."As soon as he was done speaking, he heard the back door open, and that was when he went completely quiet. He'd been working for Xavier for many years, and he knew exactly how much Jamie meant to him. Xavier would never allow anything terrible to happen to her, not if he could help it. He would never let her risk her life for anything.In other words, Jamie had been brought up entirely in the palm of his hands, totally under his control.But now that Jamie wanted independence from him, Andrew figured that Xavier would be the most devastated and badly-affected party between them both.Just at that moment, a young man in a matching gray sweatshirt and shorts hurriedly ran toward Jamie.He looked thin and scrawny, but he had a neat and handsome face. However, that wasn't enough to mask the anxiety and concern in his eyes.The young man ran straight toward Jamie.Thi

However, Alvin had suddenly caught sight of Jamie by the riverside. He had then immediately asked to stop the car and rushed out toward her.He had been worried that Jamie was about to do something stupid."Huh?"Jamie was stunned and confused at Alvin's question.However, when she finally caught sight of him, looking at her so anxiously and in a state of panic, she instantly forgot the suffocating emotions she had been experiencing right before that.She could even feel the air turn sweet like nectar."What are you doing outside here in the dead of the night instead of resting at home?" Alvin asked her in a low voice.Jamie blinked and suddenly chuckled. "Alvin, were you worried that I would jump? Why did you think I would be so depressed?"She'd already died once. Nothing in the world could convince her to give up on life anymore."Why did you call me and then not say anything? And why did you hang up right after that?" Alvin asked.Jamie explained herself seriously. "It wa

When Jamie looked up, her forehead bumped against Alvin's chin, and she could feel some of his stubble scratching her. He hadn't managed to shave after his shower."Alright," Alvin answered, unable to reject her request.Only then did Jamie let go of Alvin and stood next to him. Then, they slowly strolled down the riverbank in quiet silence.Alvin had always been a man of few words. They remained silent until Jamie finally broke the ice."Do you have any plans after graduation?" she asked.Alvin thought for a moment. "I'm planning to further my studies abroad."Jamie bit down on her lower lip. Of course, she knew about it earlier. After all, she had met him while studying abroad in her past life.However, since she was now staying back in Asteria, Jamie naturally hoped that Alvin would stay as well."Must you go?" she asked again.Jamie had experienced this lifetime before, and she knew that the property market in Asteria began booming as soon as Alvin went overseas. If he sta

It was close to 3:50 am by the time Jamie and Alvin reached the apartment building."How are you going back?" she asked.Alvin answered straightforwardly, "I'll just head straight to college. There's a lounge in the student council room. I'll just rest there for a bit."Jamie thought about it and bit on her lower lip. "Do you want to come up with me to my place to rest instead? It's just going to be a while anyway."As soon as the words rolled off her tongue, Jamie quickly realized that she was too brazen.Alvin stared at her quietly and said, "Jamie, you cannot simply invite guys into your apartment. Understand?"Jamie was stunned. Before she could even react, Alvin had turned his back on her and walked off in the direction of their college.At this time of night, public transport was not available. It would take him at least half an hour to get back on campus.Jamie just watched as Alvin left. Then, she chuckled very lightly.Alvin was probably a dummy, but he was a true gen

Chapter 19

When a man as handsome and outstanding as Xavier spoke to Andrea in such a manner, she only felt immensely moved by his words.It wasn't that Andrea also didn't want him to abstain from touching her. After all, this was Xavier she was talking about, and it was hard for her to hold herself back at times.However, with his attitude, Andrea didn't dare push any further. Xavier hated being pressured. Now, with him grabbing her chin so intimately, Andrea found her heart beating rapidly, and her palms turned sweaty as well."It's not that. Alcohol is just bad for you, and you have a sensitive stomach as well," Andrea said, softening her tone.Xavier looked at Andrea's face. Under the dim light, her beauty was even more ethereal. However, for some reason, Xavier kept thinking that he was seeing Jamie's shadow instead. Maybe it was because he was tipsy. Or, maybe it was because he'd lost to Jamie just now.When Jamie was still with him, if he ever came home drunk or tipsy, she would also

Chapter 20

For a brief moment, Andrea wanted to ask Xavier whether he thought that she was more important than Jamie or vice versa.However, as the words were about to come out, Andrea stopped herself. She knew very well that Xavier hated questions like this.Also, Xavier had made it clear between them, and he truly hadn't contacted Jamie for a long time. So, there couldn't be anything going on between himself and Jamie.Jamie was just a pitiful little girl that Xavier took in and brought up under his wing."I love you, Xavier," Andrea confessed with a slight blush.Xavier just responded with a hum and said nothing more.It was only then that Andrea said, "My mom wants us to go over for dinner this Saturday. Can we?""Next time, you can just decide on your own. There's no need to ask me beforehand," Xavier replied, resuming his cold attitude. Then, he ignored Andrea and went into the guest bedroom, shutting the door after him.Only Andrea was left standing rooted in place, her face as red
