Chapter 1240 – Williams’ Satisfaction
*****As Williams spoke, he stepped closer to Xavier, closing the distance between them with measured steps.His gaze lingered, sharp yet warm, as he carefully examined the young man standing before him… not with suspicion this time, but with approval.“Thank you,” he added sincerely, lifting a hand to pat Xavier’s shoulder.The gesture was firm, deliberate, and carried the kind of acknowledgment that words alone couldn’t fully express. “You are the kind of son-in-law any father would pray for.”‘This…’For once, Xavier found himself completely caught off guard.The words hit him harder than expected… not because they were overwhelming, but because they were so… direct and unfiltered.He wasn’t used to this kind of open praise.Instinctively, he scratched the top of his nose and glanced downward, his expression betraying a rare trace of awkwardness.And that… was all it took.“Hahaha!”Williams burst into loud, hearty laughter, the sound echoing through the room as though
Chapter 1239 – Williams’ Surprise
*****Xavier didn’t realize when the corners of his lips lifted further, forming a brighter, softer smile.‘Then my worry was meaningless,’ he thought quietly, a sense of relief washing over him as he recalled how concerned he had been about his mother’s acceptance of his in-laws living under the same roof.He had worried for nothing, and somehow… that realization felt incredibly light.With that thought settling, Xavier shifted his gaze again, this time toward Susan.She was watching Little Lola in his arms, and in her eyes…There was something that made Xavier pause again.It was affection… pure and undiluted, the kind that wasn’t built over time, but appeared suddenly and naturally, as though it had always been there waiting to surface.It caught him off guard.‘Didn’t she just meet Little Lola?’ he wondered, confusion flickering briefly through his mind.But then understanding slowly dawned on him.Xavier glanced down at the little girl still clinging to him, watching a
Chapter 1238 – “How Do You Do?”
*****Everyone was sharply startled by Little Lola’s sudden cry, the sound cutting cleanly through the lively atmosphere like a stone thrown into still water.Instantly, conversations halted mid-sentence, laughter broke off abruptly, and in near-perfect unison, every head in the room turned toward the source of the commotion.And then... they saw Xavier, standing by the living room’s entrance.Meanwhile, the moment Little Lola locked onto him, Xavier’s face broke into a wide, unrestrained grin.Without hesitation, he crouched down, lowering himself to her level as he spread his arms open in welcome, his posture relaxed and inviting.It was a simple gesture… but one filled with warmth.Seeing this movement, Little Lola didn’t slow down a bit; if anything, she accelerated.She charged toward him like a tiny missile fueled entirely by excitement, her small feet pattering loudly against the floor.And just as she reached him, she leapt… without hesitation or fear, straight into h
Chapter 1237 – “Uncle!!!”
*****“I got you!” Williams declared triumphantly, his tone brimming with unrestrained joy as he swiftly moved a piece across the board.Before Xavier’s father could even react, his queen was captured.“Sh!t!!!” David blurted out immediately, his face flushing red with frustration as he stared at the board in disbelief.“And I was hoping you wouldn’t notice that,” he added bitterly, shaking his head like a man personally betrayed by fate itself.“Hahaha!” Williams laughed loudly, clearly delighted, his earlier burdens seemingly nonexistent as he basked in his small but satisfying victory.Seeing this, David clicked his tongue, visibly annoyed. “Don’t get too full of yourself,” he shot back, narrowing his eyes. “Remember, I’m still ahead of you by three.”But Williams didn’t even flinch.If anything, his grin widened.“Then I’ll just catch up,” he replied effortlessly, his voice light and completely unconcerned, as though losing or winning didn’t matter nearly as much as the f
Chapter 1236 – ‘…This is Dangerous.’
*****Grace caught Xavier off guard the most.This was the same woman who dominated the business world with an icy presence, the so-called ice goddess whose mere gaze could make seasoned executives break into cold sweats.She had always been strict, composed, and distant… her personality as sharp and unyielding as polished steel.There was always an invisible barrier around her, a quiet pressure that made people instinctively keep their distance, to speak carefully and act cautiously.Yet, right now…Xavier found himself staring at her, his thoughts momentarily derailing.She wasn’t dressed in her usual elegant, imposing attire. There was no tailored suit or commanding presence wrapped in authority. Instead…She was wearing one of his T-shirts… simple and slightly loose, draping comfortably over her frame and softening her entire appearance in a way that almost felt forbidden to witness.Her hair fell more naturally, her posture relaxed, and her expression warm in a way he ha
Chapter 1235 – The Unexpected Scene
*****Xavier’s mouth slowly fell open, his lips parting as his eyes widened inch by inch until they nearly threatened to spill out of their sockets.For a brief moment, he didn’t even breathe properly, his entire expression frozen in stunned disbelief as though his brain had abruptly short-circuited.Whatever he had expected upon stepping into the living room… this was not it. Not even remotely close.He had been fully aware that his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and wife would have woken up by now… after all, several hours had already passed since everything happened.That thought alone had been weighing heavily on his mind throughout the entire ride back.Because once they woke up, there would be no more unconscious escape from reality. They would be forced to confront everything head-on… the betrayal, the humiliation, and the bitter truth that they had been deceived and driven out of what rightfully belonged to them.That was the part Xavier had been bracing himself for.In
