LOGINAdrian Grayson cared about Chloe Bishop more than anyone. There was no way he could stand by and watch her be mistreated—especially not like this, drenched with water.Right now, he was doing his best to hold back his rage, his little face flushed red.Zendaya stumbled back from Adrian Grayson's shove and pointed at him. "You pushed me!"Adrian Grayson glared at her like a wolf guarding its prey. "Don't bully Chloe."Chloe Bishop had originally wanted Xavier Grayson to see what was happening, but Adrian Grayson had beaten her to it.With her plan for a dramatic reveal disrupted, Chloe Bishop lost her patience. If Zendaya dared to lay a single finger on Adrian Grayson today, she wouldn't hold back."So what if I bullied her?" Zendaya had a fiery temper too.Adrian Grayson let out a low growl from his throat.Afraid he might do something rash, Chloe Bishop immediately crouched down and soothed him. "Adrian, I'm fine. Don't worry."It took a moment, but Adrian Grayson finally calmed down
Sana tossed a few bags of milk onto the grass and called out to Chloe Bishop, who was lounging around leisurely. "Hey, 'Miss High-and-Mighty' over there! Come eat!"Chloe Bishop took off her sunglasses and slowly rose to her feet. Xavier Grayson came over and helped her up.Scarlett Johnson had already washed her hands and shot her a sour look. "So dramatic."She was a socialite too, how come she wasn't this precious?It was just a pregnancy. What was the big deal?Chloe Bishop sat down and glanced at the boxed meals in front of her. "By the way, I haven't called Adrian and Rick over yet."Xavier Grayson: "I'll go."He had barely stepped away when Scarlett Johnson followed right after him.Chloe Bishop watched for a moment, then decided not to bother.With Xavier Grayson gone and no one to shield Chloe Bishop, Zendaya and Sana let out cold snickers."Oh, Miss High-and-Mighty, pregnancy must be really uncomfortable for you, huh?"Chloe Bishop shot them a glance. "If you're so curious,
Scarlett Johnson had been pursuing Xavier Grayson for a long time. And the way she showed up today, it was impossible to ignore.Chloe Bishop figured it was time to solidify their relationship a little.She twisted the bottle cap twice, then raised an eyebrow. Before she could even speak, Xavier Grayson had already taken the bottle from her hands.With a crisp click, he unscrewed the cap and handed it back to her expressionlessly.Chloe Bishop blinked twice.This man, he could read her mind. He knew exactly what she was about to do.Scarlett Johnson watched the whole exchange, her small hands clenching so hard they turned white.That woman! She, she had no shame! Flirting with Xavier Grayson in public like that, over a bottle cap!How could she possibly be that precious?!Out of spite, she snatched the water bottle from Zendaya's hand, twisted the cap off with a fierce motion, and downed half of it in two big gulps.She patted her chest and shot Chloe Bishop a defiant look.Chloe Bish
But just because she didn't dare speak didn't mean no one else would.That someone was Scarlett Johnson.She pursed her lips. "Just wait!"She slunk back in defeat. Chloe Bishop looked up at Xavier Grayson with a blank expression.For some reason, that look was both helpless and amusing.Xavier Grayson pinched her cheek. "Should we head back?"Chloe Bishop glanced over at Adrian Grayson and Rick, saw that the two were having a great time, and dropped the idea of leaving.She couldn't let her own issues ruin their fun—especially not when those two kids had been through so much and were finally opening up.She shook her head. "No. I'll bear with it."Xavier Grayson: "My woman, bearing with anything?"His voice carried an undeniable certainty, laced with sheer dominance, and Chloe Bishop found herself unable to look away.Voices came from behind—Scarlett Johnson's."Xavier? What are you doing here?"Xavier Grayson didn't turn around. "What, is this your territory?"His words froze the sm
When they found Adrian Grayson, he was in the middle of playing hard with his friends.His clothes and pants were covered in dust, with holes torn in some places, revealing his skin underneath. There were scrapes and bruises in varying degrees across his body.Rick's heart ached as she brushed the dirt off him. "How did this happen?"Adrian Grayson wiped his dirty little hand across his cheek."I fell."Rick was shocked. "You fell? What were you doing?"Adrian Grayson picked up the skateboard from the ground and grinned, pure, unrestrained joy.It was clear he was starting to fit in more and more. The harder he fell, the more he enjoyed himself.Rick frowned and gently pinched his cheek. "Don't be reckless. If you really hurt yourself, your sister-in-law and brother would be devastated."Adrian Grayson pouted. "It's okay. They won't blame me, they'll actually be happy for me."Rick sighed, stood up, and tugged him by the wrist toward home. He turned back and waved to his friends. "I'm
Tim let out an awkward sigh and continued typing: "Then just sleep with her. Girls care a lot about their first time. As long as she truly likes you, she'll fall for you completely and won't be able to leave."Xavier Grayson: "Won't work."This time, Caesor finally collapsed onto the bed, laughing so hard he was practically wheezing.Tim sent back a smiley face. "Xavier, get out of this group."Xavier Grayson: "..."Meanwhile, back at the villa, Xavier Grayson's face was grim—but also filled with speechless frustration.There was a time difference between countries. He was currently lying in bed, coaxing Chloe Bishop to sleep.Four months into her pregnancy, Chloe Bishop had started having trouble sleeping—insomnia was the norm, and vivid dreams came with the territory. So every time, Xavier Grayson would stay with her until she fell into a deep sleep before he could rest himself.That was how he'd caught the group chat.But honestly? He just didn't get it.He'd done all those things
Looking into Chloe’s bloodshot eyes, Liam withdrew his probing gaze. He lowered his eyelids, remaining silent and detached, his long lashes veiling whatever emotions stirred beneath.Chloe had always adored Liam’s physical perfection. Even now, standing there in the dim light, he looked like a flaw
Outside the Operating Room.Chloe sat on a plastic chair, still wearing her million-dollar designer wedding dress. She was trembling, sitting as still as a lifeless mannequin. The dress, once pure and white, was now stained with dark, wet patches of blood. Against the crimson stains, her skin looke
Chloe pinched the tiny scrap of black lace between her fingers, her expression filled with pure skepticism. "Are you serious? Is this even wearable?"Wouldn't just pinning him down be faster and more efficient? she thought.Bella rolled her eyes at Chloe’s lack of romantic vision. "What do you know
“Have you found out who did this yet?”Liam Martin’s usually handsome, refined face was currently shrouded in a dark, suffocating shadow. He looked cold and lethal—the literal personification of the calm before a devastating storm.At twenty-four, Liam had spent the last six years clawing his way t
