Chapter 1537 – Xavier’s Concern II
*****For one fleeting second, Xavier seriously considered taking Little Lola straight back into the car and leaving immediately.Nothing mattered more than her emotional well-being.But almost as quickly as the thought surfaced, he dismissed it.'No...' His eyes gradually softened again. 'Running away won't heal those scars.''She needs to see that the place which once terrified her can no longer hurt her and that she isn’t alone anymore.’'She has us.'That realization settled his heart.Without exposing any of his emotions, Xavier walked toward the trunk and lifted out the remaining two heavy bags overflowing with Labubu dolls as though they weighed nothing.“All right, Little Lola,” he called gently, startling the little girl so much that she almost jumped out of her shoes.She immediately froze before hurriedly forcing herself to relax.Almost instantly, she masked her fear with a sweet little smile, so practiced and heartbreakingly mature that Xavier’s chest ached at the sight.
Chapter 1536 – Xavier’s Concern
*****The very first destination Little Lola insisted Xavier and Grace take her to after they departed Oceanview estate was the market, where she had wandered homeless for years.The moment those words left her mouth, Grace simply nodded with a gentle smile, completely unaware of the history hidden behind that ordinary-looking marketplace.To her, it was merely a stop where they would hand out toys and make children happy - something she felt very willing and excited to do.Xavier, on the other hand, reacted very differently.The instant he heard Little Lola's request, his hands tightened ever so slightly on his lap.For a brief moment, he fell silent, then slowly, he lifted his eyes to the rearview mirror.There sat Little Lola, hugging one of the oversized bags of Labubu dolls with all her might.Her tiny legs dangled happily from the seat while she wore an excited smile, already imagining the expressions of the children she wanted to surprise.Seeing that smile, Xavier's heart soft
Chapter 1545 – Setting Out to Fulfill Little Lola’s Desire
*****“So,” Xavier asked with genuine curiosity as he turned to Grace, “how was your day at work?”With that simple question, the topic naturally changed.If anyone who had known Grace in the past had been sitting inside the car at this moment, they would have firmly insisted that the woman behind the steering wheel had been replaced.The Grace everyone remembered rarely displayed emotions.Conversations with her had always been concise, efficient, and straight to the point.Yet now, it was as though a completely different side of her had quietly awakened.As she drove through the evening traffic, she animatedly recounted everything that had happened throughout the day.She talked about the generous gifts sent by the four first-rank families, the endless partnership proposals that had flooded Sky Group, how nearly every influential figure in Riverton City had desperately tried to establish a relationship with her and the company, and all the strange, unbelievable events that had unfol
Chapter 1544 – A Thick-Skinned Xavier III
*****Xavier’s eyes swept across the dashboard, the steering wheel, and the familiar leather seats before a puzzled expression surfaced on his face.Why didn't you use your new car today?” he asked, the question catching Grace completely off guard.For a brief instant, she just stared ahead at the road. Then a faint blush quietly spread across her cheeks, once again softening her composed features.“I... don't want it to get used yet,” she admitted at last, her voice noticeably quieter than usual, carrying an unusual hint of embarrassment.The response stunned Xavier into silence.His eyes widened, and he blinked several times as though he wasn't entirely convinced he had heard correctly.“You... don't want it to get used?” he repeated, his mouth hanging open in disbelief.Seeing his exaggerated reaction only made Grace's face grow warmer.‘Why did I actually confess something so childish?’ she wondered, biting her bottom lip in embarrassment.Then, before she realized it, her thought
Chapter 1543 – A Thick-Skinned Xavier II
*****For several seconds, silence filled the car.The question Grace had asked had merely been rhetorical.In fact, even if she had expected an answer, she assumed Xavier would casually admit he just wanted to tease Dorothy; after all, the two of them had always behaved like sworn enemies.Never… not even in her wildest imagination, had she expected such an absurd explanation.She slowly turned to look at him again, searching his face for even the slightest indication that he was joking.But there was none.He looked frighteningly sincere.Grace could only stare blankly before rolling her eyes in utter defeat."You somehow keep proving that I've underestimated you every single time I think I've finally reached the limit of your shamelessness," she muttered under her breath.Most people would have felt embarrassed hearing those words. But Xavier merely shook his head seriously."I'm actually stating a fact," he corrected with complete conviction. "There's something special about earni
Chapter 1542 – A Thick-Skinned Xavier
*****Grace froze completely, her confident smile disappearing so quickly that it was as though someone had erased it from existence.She had prepared herself for denial, expected excuses, and even anticipated another ridiculous act.What she had absolutely not expected was a sudden compliment that struck with the precision of an arrow.For a brief moment, her mind became completely blank.Not only had Xavier shamelessly escaped the topic altogether, but he had effortlessly redirected the conversation with the single sentence that almost every woman secretly longed to hear from the man she loved.Before she could even stop it, his sincere voice replayed itself inside her mind.‘You’re the prettiest woman in the entire universe.'A vivid blush spread across her fair face with astonishing speed, climbing all the way to the tips of her ears."You..." she managed to say while pointing at him, looking simultaneously embarrassed, flustered, and completely defeated. "How… how shameless are y

Very good plot and story and the pacing is also quite good except for elongated methapor words and praises that seems no relevance on the scene or plot being played, making the novel quite dull...
