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
Chapter 1542 – Xavier, The Award-Winning Actor
*****Completely oblivious to the commotion she had stirred inside Sky Group and to the countless stunned, bewildered gazes following her every step, Grace continued dragging Xavier by his ear all the way toward the parking lot.Employees, clients, and everyone standing along the corridors instinctively moved aside to clear a path, yet their eyes remained glued to the unbelievable sight before them.Meanwhile, Xavier remained as committed to his performance as any award-winning actor."Ahhh! This is unbearable torture!""My ear is about to tear off my head!""Mercy, wife! Have mercy!"His cries echoed through the parking area with enough passion to make anyone unfamiliar with the situation believe Grace was twisting his ear with enough force to uproot it entirely.The reality, however, couldn't have been more different.Grace had deliberately applied almost no pressure at all. At best, it was the gentlest ear-twist in history.By the time they reached Grace's car, she opened the passe
Chapter 1540 – “Such A Lovey-Dovey Couple!”
*****Completely oblivious to the unprecedented shock she had caused, Grace twisted Xavier's ear even more, looking every bit like a wife disciplining her mischievous husband.“So, you know what daylight robbery is, huh?” she demanded, shooting him a helpless glare. “Well, unfortunately for you, this is exactly what you get for troubling someone else.”There wasn't the slightest trace of sympathy in her expression.If anything, she looked as though she had finally caught an overgrown child in the middle of his crime.Meanwhile, Xavier immediately put on the expression of someone whose life was hanging by a thread.“Aahhh! Wife! Mercy! My ear is innocent!” he cried miserably. “I merely borrowed five snacks! Is this really worth domestic violence in broad daylight? Someone call the police! No, wait! I am the victim here!”Grace merely rolled her eyes, long since becoming immune to his dramatic performance.“Fifty it is,” she declared calmly, glancing briefly at Dorothy. “I will make sur
Chapter 1539 – Grace’s Verdict
*****Not only had Xavier failed to break out into a single bead of sweat, but his breathing remained perfectly normal, as though he had merely taken a leisurely stroll rather than spending over ten minutes fleeing for his life.He was no longer running either.Instead, he casually walked several steps ahead of Dorothy with his hands resting behind his head and a smug, playful grin plastered across his face.From time to time, he would even slow his pace slightly whenever Dorothy appeared unable to keep up before speeding up again whenever she got close enough to catch him.The entire scene appeared so ridiculously comical that Grace couldn't help but remain speechless for a moment.Eventually, she helplessly rolled her eyes before softly sighing.“Not only did you steal her precious snacks, but you're still bullying her afterward,” she remarked while shooting Xavier a helpless glare. “How exactly is this fair?”The moment Dorothy heard Grace's words, her eyes immediately brightened.
