Chapter 1339 – Xavier’s Shamelessness
*****Before seeing Xavier, Grace had still been sleepy enough to barely keep her eyes open.Yet somehow, the instant her gaze landed on his face, every trace of drowsiness disappeared completely.Instead, she unconsciously found herself staring, and staring, and somehow still staring.The warm expression on Xavier’s sleeping face, the relaxed look he rarely showed around others, the faint smile that occasionally appeared at the corners of his lips…Grace had completely lost herself watching him.At some point, she had even started wondering what kind of dream could make him smile so gently like that.Then another dangerous thought followed immediately after.‘Was I in that dream?’And before she even realized how ridiculous she looked…Xavier woke up and caught her red-handed.Grace was so embarrassed that she nearly died spiritually on the spot.But Xavier?“Hehehe, you don’t need to be shy,” he teased mischievously while leaning slightly closer. “Your husband is extrem
Chapter 1338 – Grace’s Panic
*****“Ah!”Grace suddenly cried out softly and jumped back like a startled rabbit whose secret had just been exposed publicly.Hearing this, Xavier blinked blankly, completely caught off guard.But then… something felt wrong.The atmosphere, surroundings, and even warmth itself.The realization instantly made Xavier frown slightly before instinctively turning his head around again.In the following second, his expression changed.The garden was gone… and so was the recliner.The sunlight, flowers, and peaceful scenery had all vanished as well.Even the two girls were nowhere to be seen again.Instead, he found himself lying inside a cozy, quiet bedroom, the dim lighting and surroundings quite familiar.Just then…Xavier’s eyes widened slightly as realization finally struck him fully.“That was…” He paused, a helpless, bitter feeling suddenly rising inside his chest. “A dream.”The warmth, laughter, and peaceful atmosphere… everything had felt unbelievably real.Especi
Chapter 1337 – A Peaceful Moment
*****At this moment, Xavier was reclining lazily in a wooden recliner, a faint, satisfied smile resting on his face as he calmly flipped open another page of the book in his hand.Beside him, a small stool held a chilled cup of beer covered in tiny droplets of water, and every now and then, he would casually reach over, take a slow sip, then continue reading as though the world itself had finally decided to stop troubling him for once.The atmosphere around him was completely peaceful.The warm afternoon breeze drifted gently through the garden, rustling the flowers and leaves softly, while sunlight bathed everything in a golden glow.Birds chirped in the distance, the fountain nearby produced a relaxing trickling sound, and for the first time in what felt like forever, Xavier truly looked at ease.There were no enemies, schemes, pressure, or anything, just peace.Then suddenly…“Papa!”A tiny, melodious voice sounding like a sound from heaven, echoed out without warning, st
Chapter 1336 – A Dangerous Moment
*****Still in the bedroom, the atmosphere had completely shifted now.Even the space between them felt different now… heavier and quieter, like the air itself had forgotten how to behave normally.Their breathing was no longer separate; instead, it slowly began to sync without either of them noticing, as though the world had decided to interfere simply to make things worse for their already unstable hearts.They remained frozen in that closeness for what felt like an uncomfortably long time, neither speaking nor stepping back, both caught in a silence that stretched far beyond comfort.Then…click.A faint switch sound echoed from somewhere in the mansion, and just like that, it felt as though reality itself had been abruptly restarted.Both of them flinched at the same time and took a quick step back as if they had just been released from an invisible hold.“I…”Grace’s face turned red almost instantly, her heart clearly in disarray as she glanced around the room in a comp
Chapter 1335 – An Awkward Moment
*****“Don’t!” Xavier suddenly blurted out, quickly grabbing Grace’s hands just before her knees touched the floor.She flinched immediately, clearly startled by his sudden reaction.Then she raised her head, blinking in confusion.“What?” she asked softly.Xavier opened his mouth, but then closed it again, before opening for the third time.He looked like a man standing at the edge of disaster right now, trying to choose between honesty and survival.“I…” he finally said, his voice slightly strained.His thoughts raced, knowing well that if he admitted it now, Grace might get angry for being lied to, and as such, he would permanently ruin their first night together.But he was also aware that if he didn’t, she might keep worrying and refuse to rest properly.Either way… he was cornered.Finally, with a helpless breath, he gave up and blurted the truth.“I… was only joking.”Silence.He braced himself instantly, expecting shock, realization, maybe even anger.But what c
Chapter 1334 – Grace’s Concern
*****Initially, after hearing Xavier claim he was sleepy, Grace had actually assumed he was just trying to pull the same kind of stunt she had witnessed earlier from her father and father-in-law.After all, the timing was too convenient, and those two had just successfully “escaped” their wife’s complaints using the exact same method like seasoned veterans.But then…The moment she heard Xavier calmly admit that he hadn’t slept in about thirty hours, all suspicion vanished as though it had never existed in the first place.Instantly, her mind began to replay everything that had happened recently.The four first-rank families' decision to support her, the Oriens incident, the preparation of the vehicles, and the countless unseen arrangements that followed afterward.She understood with certainty that this was neither luck nor coincidence.It was Xavier.While she and her family had been resting after everything that happened at the Sky Mansion, Xavier had apparently been runn
