Chapter 1285 – “No Sneaking Peaks”
*****The three women and Little Lola moved first, sticking close behind Xavier, their steps quick, and their eyes already gleaming with anticipation.Little Lola, in particular, looked like she might burst at any moment, her tiny fists clenched in excitement as she bounced along.Behind them, David and Williams followed at a more measured pace, appearing utterly calm… but their eyes betrayed them.Before long, they reached the exit, and just as they were about to step out…Xavier stopped, then turned.“Please, everyone… kindly close your eyes,” he said politely, though the mysterious glint in his gaze and smug grin on his lips had intensified to an almost suspicious degree.“This…”Brows furrowed instantly.‘Close our eyes?’‘What kind of gift needs blindness to work?’‘Is this still a gift or a plot twist?’Their curiosity skyrocketed, colliding violently with mild suspicion. But in the end…They complied.One after the other, their eyes closed, all of them choosing to
Chapter 1284 – ‘I’m Absolutely Enjoying This’
*****Grace froze for a split second, dumbfounded. Then she quietly shut her mouth again, swallowing the rest of her words before they could make things worse.Meanwhile, Xavier didn’t think twice about it.To him, her concern was exactly what it sounded like… concern and nothing more.“Oh, before I forget,” he said suddenly, his tone shifting as he smoothly changed the subject, as though the previous exchange had never happened.Grace blinked, instantly refocusing on him.“I have a gift for you,” Xavier added casually, though the slight gleam in his eyes betrayed a hint of excitement.“Huh?”Grace’s lips parted slightly, her expression blank for a moment as she processed his words.“You… have a gift for me?” she repeated, almost as if confirming she hadn’t misheard.Xavier nodded immediately, his eyes lighting up in a way that was both boyish and suspiciously mischievous.Grace hesitated for exactly half a second before giving in.“…What’s the gift?” she asked, curiosity
Chapter 1283 – ‘That Explanation… Works?’
*****His mother was still seated comfortably, listening to his mother-in-law ramble on in animated celebration, her face glowing with excitement as though she had personally conquered the world.His father, on the other hand, stood firmly beside his father-in-law, nodding along with supportive enthusiasm, occasionally adding a word or two that only seemed to fuel the already unstoppable momentum.The entire scene was lively, noisy, and overflowing with joy.Little Lola had already returned to her corner, completely absorbed in her Labubu toys, humming softly to herself as though nothing else in the world mattered.Not one of them looked up, reacted, or even noticed that Xavier had left… or returned.Xavier paused slightly at this, glancing around with a faint, wry smile creeping onto his face.“…Wow,” he muttered internally. “So this is my position in the family.”For a brief second, he actually looked like he might file a complaint.Then he shook his head lightly, amused mo
Chapter 1282 – Xavier’s Satisfaction
*****The door opened with a satisfying, almost addictive precision, accompanied by a gentle bloom of ambient interior lighting that illuminated the cabin in a soft, luxurious glow.But even before properly inspecting it, Xavier already knew.His earlier concern was completely unnecessary.Just from the weight of the door alone… thick, solid, and clearly constructed with reinforced materials, he could tell that this car wasn’t just a show-off.It was a fortress disguised as elegance.“Good,” he muttered approvingly, knocking lightly against the surface with his knuckles.The dull, dense sound that followed was all the confirmation he needed.Without further delay, Xavier began a thorough inspection.He tapped along the body panels, checking for structural integrity.He examined the windows and windshield carefully, gauging their thickness and resilience.He even leaned in slightly, testing the sealing… ensuring it could block out harmful gases or external interference.To
Chapter 1281 – “She Will Definitely Love This”
*****Still in OceanView Estate, outside Villa Number One.At this moment, only Xavier stood there, seemingly deep in thought, though not a single hint of it reflected on his face.His expression was completely blank, like a calm lake that revealed absolutely nothing of what lay beneath.Anyone watching him would have found it impossible to tell whether he was planning something terrifying or simply wondering what to eat for dinner.Then, after a brief pause, his gaze shifted toward the distant highway.Faintly, he could still make out the retreating taillights of a car… the one that had come to collect Silas and the drivers.The lights flickered in the distance before vanishing completely, and yet… Xavier showed not even a flicker of emotion on his face.If anything, after standing there for a second longer, he casually stretched his arms above his head, his joints popping faintly, before letting out a long, unrestrained yawn.Just like that, the unreadable man from earlier
Chapter 1280 – ‘…I Might Cry’
*****“Next time, learn to visit people at the right time.”The voice came calm, unhurried, and almost lazy, yet…To Silas, it sounded like a thunderclap exploding right beside his ear.He jolted violently, his entire body snapping backward as though struck by an invisible force, his heart lurching so hard it nearly climbed up his throat.For a split second, his brain went completely blank.Then…‘Wait!’He froze mid-motion, his expression stiffening as realization dawned on him like a slow and merciless sunrise.‘So… this was because… I came at the wrong… time?’The thought settled in, and instead of clarity…It brought even more confusion.His brows twitched, his lips parted slightly, and his entire face turned blank.‘Wrong time…?’ he repeated internally, sounding like a man who had just been told the sky was green.He almost laughed, unable to understand that kind of reason.After all, he had prepared so much… rushed over personally, and handled everything himself.
