Chapter 1243 – An Embarrassed David
*****Grace’s fingers fidgeted unconsciously, betraying her inner turmoil, her composure cracking in the smallest, most telling ways.Then there was Xavier.On any normal day, he would have pounced on the opportunity without the slightest hint of restraint.He would’ve worn that insufferably grin of his, his eyes gleaming with mischief as he tossed out something utterly shameless… just bold enough to make her fluster, just outrageous enough to leave her scrambling.He would have thoroughly enjoyed every second of her embarrassment, like it was a show put on just for him.But now…“Wife,” he called out, his voice deeper than usual, but unmistakably gentle.Grace paused.For the briefest moment, it felt as though time itself had slowed, her thoughts hanging suspended in that delicate, breathless space between hesitation and surrender.Then, quietly, she lifted her gaze and met his eyes again.And that was all it took.In the very next second, she was completely drawn in.Xa
Chapter 1242 – Xavier’s Emotional Rollercoaster
*****“…Huh?”Xavier’s mouth parted slightly after hearing Susan, his brain lagging behind the sudden praise.But before he could process it…Susan leaned in slightly, her eyes suddenly bright with excitement.“I loved how fearless you were in front of those ridiculous Oriens,” she continued, her voice rising with enthusiasm. “Giving it back to them one after another and defending my daughter without letting them bully you like they always try to do to us!”Xavier: “…”For a brief second, his mind went completely blank.‘What is she talking about…?’Then it clicked.She was referring to the confrontation at the former Sky Estate, where he alone had faced the entire Oriens and methodically torn apart their overinflated sense of family pride.‘Ah… that.’Realization dawned fully on Xavier, and before he could stop himself, a grin slowly crept onto Xavier’s face.Susan leaned in slightly, her eyes suddenly bright with excitement.‘My mother-in-law is petty,’ he thought, dee
Chapter 1241 – The Proud Husband and Wife
*****Xavier held Williams’ gaze for a brief moment, his expression calm yet steady, as though weighing his words before letting them out.Then, without hesitation, he responded in a tone that was simple… but carried an undeniable weight.“We are family, after all.”The words landed, and Williams froze.For a split second, he didn’t react at all… instead, his expression locked in place as though his mind had stalled, trying to process something far deeper than the sentence itself.It wasn’t just what was said… it was how naturally it had been said, as if there had never been a question about it.Then…“Hahaha!”Williams burst into loud, unrestrained laughter, the sound rich with genuine delight as his earlier composure shattered completely.“I love that word!” he declared proudly, clearly pleased, his eyes shining with an emotion he didn’t even bother to hide.Watching the exchange, David and Laura couldn’t help but beam, their expressions filled with quiet pride.There wa
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
