Chapter 505

Auteur: Light Breeze
Dexter snorted. "You're just as thick-skinned as Julian."

Sawyer still looked like a perfect gentleman. "He's a pretty great guy."

Dexter was determined to pick a fight. "Move to the Ziegler residence to live with him if he's so great! Landon's never home now, so you can be Julian's son."

Sawyer evidently wasn't so easily goaded. "How about I move there with Maisie, then? I'll be the Ziegler family's son-in-law, anyway. I don't think it makes much difference whether I'm your son-in-law or Julian's."

Dexter couldn't take it anymore and waved him off like he was a fly. "Get lost! You're an eyesore!"

Sawyer slowly headed upstairs while undoing his cufflinks, still looking regal and graceful. "I'll head upstairs, Dexter. Goodnight."

Downstairs, Dexter sulked. The brat had truly grown a pair!

However, when he looked up at Sawyer's tall frame, he couldn't help feeling proud and happy. How could he not be when such an outstanding and disciplined young man was his foster son and future

  • Leaving You Bereft   Chapter 548

    Having settled into the dimly lit Maybach, Xavier turned to Gabriella in the passenger seat and said, "How many more curveballs are you going to throw me, Gabriella? You have Fabian as your kept man this morning, and now you have him as your full-time babysitter. You even say you're treating him as your so-called younger brother. "How could you be so shameless, Gabriella? And for the record, I never agreed to that investment."Gabriella calmly buckled her seatbelt, then retorted languidly, "Why don't you tell that to your mother, then? Go on, tell her that Fabian is my kept man and that we're having an illicit affair. "I assure you, if you really do say that to her, you'll have a fresh batch of blind dates waiting for you tomorrow! I'm doing you a favor here, Xavier. If you're not going to thank me for it, then the least you can do is not point fingers at me!"Upon hearing that, Xavier gave a short, derisive chuckle. He was on the verge of turning his attention back to starting t

    In the evening, with nightfall approaching, Xavier's Mercedes-Maybach S-Class quietly rolled into Lund Manor, coming to a halt before the villa.He then opened the car door to find Rebecca eagerly coming up to him to ask him about the blind date. "What are Gabriella's favorite dishes? Where does Gabriella usually like to spend her free time? When does Gabriella envision herself settling down? Is Gabriella fond of children?"Xavier gazed at Rebecca, somewhat at a loss for words. He wasn't sure if Gabriella had a fondness for children, but he knew for certain she preferred young men, especially the fresh-faced ones.He merely offered a few vague responses when Rebecca suddenly clapped her hands together and declared, "This won't do! I'm going to teach you how to cook from today onward! You can hire a cook later on, but when you're newlyweds and it's just the two of you, you'll need to know how to make your own meals. "You ought to know that relying on takeout isn't good enough—home-

    Gabriella and Xavier were incredibly close. Their faces were so close together that they felt each other's breath on their lips, causing a faint, undeniable spark to ignite between them.Gabriella wasn't in the mood to indulge in his antics, though. She deliberately traced the buttons of Xavier's shirt with her delicate fingers as she leaned in and whispered, "You're in quite a hurry, huh, Mr. Lund?"She then fished a stack of bills from her handbag and shoved it into his suit pocket, adding, "You should go treat yourself and take care of your needs, then! You can go for whatever suits your taste—tall, short, plump, or slender!"Having said that, she simply pressed a button and unlocked the car door.That day, the autumn sun was splendid, and the red maples outside glowed like embers, yet their brilliance was nothing next to Gabriella's striking beauty. Her presence made everything else a backdrop; much like when she was among other female celebrities, regardless of their establish

    In an instant, a profound gloom settled over the scene.Jolene, once again overestimating her capabilities, attempted to slap Gabriella again, only for Brody to seize her wrist. He squeezed with such force that it hurt her wrist, causing tears to well up in her eyes. She then exclaimed in fury and indignation, "Brody!"Brody didn't even spare Jolene a glance. His gaze remained locked on Gabriella as he said, "You should leave first."He had never laid a hand on Gabriella during their eight-year relationship. Thus, there was no way he would allow Jolene to hit her.Jolene was evidently disinclined to leave, but Brody's expression was so grim that she had no choice but to leave first.In the end, only the two former lovers were left in the restroom.Brody looked worn and tired, as though life hadn't been kind to him lately. He should have been elated, though, as he had just officially announced his engagement to the public. He leaned against the tiled wall, his gaze fixed longingly

    It was akin to a cherished, indelible mark upon the heart's core. Xavier suddenly comprehended Brody's importance in Gabriella's heart. He was her former significant other—the one she had poured her heart into for eight years. It was clear that Brody was someone even ten Fabians could never replace.Gabriella suddenly murmured, "You should start without me first. I'll be stepping away to the restroom for a bit."Though he had a couple of biting remarks on the tip of his tongue, Xavier ultimately chose to hold them back. …In the restroom, the gilded faucet was running with a steady rush of water. Gabriella stood at the sink, meticulously washing her hands. Her eyes, reflected in the mirror, were a touch bloodshot, a testament to the sorrow she felt over the perceived squandering of eight years of her youth.Having washed her hands, she was on the verge of leaving when the door opened with a creak, revealing none other than Brody's fiancée, Jolene.Jolene, having risen in status,

    Xavier's chiseled features were flushed with a delicate crimson as he fought with the conflict of emotions raging within him.Gabriella chuckled faintly as her fair foot shifted subtly under the table; her upper body remained poised and graceful, though. Her delicate fingers curved around a glass of red wine, her smile growing even more intoxicating. "I was under the impression that you had great resolve, Mr. Lund. It seems like you're just like any other man who's utterly unable to control yourself after a mere hint of provocation, making a complete fool of yourself for all to see."Xavier tightened his hold on Gabriella's foot before caressing it softly with the lightest touch. Gabriella gently bit her lip, her captivating smile still perfectly in place. They were both engaged in a silent, unspoken duel, with neither side willing to concede.It was then that a man with a familiar and exceedingly urbane voice broke the silence, saying, "I've made a reservation for Table No. 10."
