Leaving You Bereft Chapter 616
A few days later, Gabriella was ready to take the crew to Crimsonir.Before leaving, she met up with Xavier.It was mid-December, and the maple leaves on Scentwood Hills were blazing red. The two of them spent the day wandering the mountain trails without the kids. They even stopped by a chapel to pray.Xavier, tall and broad-shouldered, surprisingly turned out to be a man of faith. He even donated a million dollars to the chapel.When he was writing his name down in the donation register, Gabriella leaned over and whispered, "What did you pray for?"Xavier turned to look at her, close enough to see her flawless, makeup-free face. She had this rare, youthful softness that made her look a little like an innocent young lady.Xavier lowered his voice as he replied, "Love."Gabriella glanced at the million-dollar donation, then slipped her arm around his waist. "You're quite serious about this, huh?"Xavier's gaze deepened. "I want to get married. I've been single for too long."G

It was clear to Xavier that Violet sought him out merely to elevate her own status. He wasn't there to do anyone favors, though.Under the dazzling chandelier lights, Violet's eyes shimmered with tears. She held back her voice and asked, "Is it because you think I'm dirty? Is it because you think Gabriella can't handle our past? I indeed suffered defilement at the hands of that brute, but was any of that my fault?"Xavier retorted, "How does any of that involve Gabriella? I mean, it doesn't even concern me, Violet. I gave you a chance back then!"He could say that with a clear conscience at this moment. He was young and racked with guilt back then, convinced that his decision to walk away had, in some part, brought about Violet's misfortune. He carried that burden for a long time—unable to let go—because he had still cared for Violet when they separated. It was just that they simply weren't meant to be back then.Violet got up from the couch, moving deliberately to stand before Xav

Having gone to the first floor, Evelyn returned with several plates of food, intending to serve them to her high-maintenance brother, Landon. She then fetched some cupcakes, which she shared with Ash and Lynn, while waiting for the potato slices to roast. Ash and Lynn held their treats, patiently waiting for Evelyn to finish preparing the potato slices so that they could all eat together.It was then that someone chimed in, "You must be Ms. Harper, right? These two children are so cute."Evelyn lifted her gaze and noticed Violet, instantly recognizing that she was the woman from earlier. "I'm not a Harper—I'm a Ziegler."Violet smiled faintly, saying, "I presumed since Gabriella's last name is Harper, then you, her younger sister, would be a Harper, too. It turns out you're a Ziegler, huh?"Evelyn explained, "You ought to know that my sister's last name is an expression of my father's love for my mother."Julian and Willow's love was so profound that it led them to have Gabriella

Gabriella flinched. Xavier, on the other hand, attributing the noise to a passing household staff member or a resident feline, paid it no heed. He held Gabriella's nape, affectionately rubbing his nose against hers. "It's alright. I'm sure the housekeeper will take care of it, so let's pick up where we left off.""What if it's Lynn and Ash?" Gabriella asked, immediately losing her ardor. She couldn't bear the thought of their children witnessing such a scene.She then nudged Xavier, asking, "Why don't you get up and see what that was?"Though he felt a pang of reluctance, thinking that this clandestine intimacy was far too enjoyable to abandon, Xavier feared Gabriella's displeasure. Thus, he propped himself up with one arm and turned his body to look out, with their bodies still intimately pressed together in a highly suggestive pose.It was then that the bedroom door drifted open with the breeze, and standing just outside was a woman of striking yet unadorned beauty, possessing a

Velma had organized a barbecue for the film crew's half-day team-building session just before the crew began filming at the end of the month.It was held at Gabriella's private villa, boasting a vast garden and a swimming pool. The film crew cried out in disappointment, noting that the weather wasn't suitable for swimming. Velma, on the other hand, asked with a sneer, "You guys really don't go out much, huh? You ought to know that Ms. Harper's swimming pool is fully temperature- and oxygen-regulated. You can even swim in it when it snows, let alone during fall."In effect, it proved to be a magnificent afternoon.It was a gathering of people who were acquainted with each other, so Lynn and Ash were brought over, and Evelyn also joined them for the barbecue. In an instant, seven or eight black luxury vehicles lined the courtyard, while elite chefs and patissiers were brought onto the lawn, and only the freshest fruits and finest floral arrangements were used, suggesting a substanti

It was late at night when Xavier left the Ziegler residence and returned to his own residence. In front of the black ornate gate, a white car was parked, and the person behind the wheel—someone he would recognize even from a mile away—was none other than Violet.He eased the black Bentley to a stop, rolled down his car window, then turned to Violet and asked, "What do you want from me, Violet?"Violet got out of her car, walked over to the black Bentley, opened the passenger-side door, and slid into the front passenger seat.Xavier made no move to stop her.Violet ran her hand over the car's exquisite leather interior, murmuring, "I heard that the passenger seat in a man's car is usually reserved for his wife or girlfriend, Xavier. Is that true?"Xavier pulled out a cigarette, lit it with a downward glance, and took a slow drag. "It also includes women with ulterior motives! You'd better cut to the chase, Violet. What exactly do you want from me? I recall breaking up with you a lo
