Leaving You Bereft Chapter 748
Gabriella felt an indescribable feeling stirring within her. She didn't dwell on it, choosing instead to simply watch Xavier leave.It wasn't long before Xavier's car pulled away, steadily disappearing from view.Gabriella's life carried on as before. She picked up and dropped off Ash and Lynn at school every day, spent a couple of hours a day on business, and occasionally appeared at social gatherings. She and Xavier weren't ones for daily video calls—that kind of interaction was reserved for deeply affectionate couples, after all. He, however, did send daily WhatsApp messages, sharing updates that verified his presence in Crimsonir.Gabriella chose not to delve, simply maintaining the pretense that Xavier's trip to Crimsonir was purely for business.…It was three days later when Gabriella attended a relatively large-scale charity banquet held in Brindley.That evening, the donated auction items fetched more than 300 million dollars, which were funds designated for rebuilding

Gabriella walked into the study. She then glanced at Xavier's phone and asked offhandedly, "Did Anna call?"Xavier didn't want her to find out about Amber, fearing any misunderstanding. Thus, he smiled faintly and confirmed that it was Anna. He then approached, relieved her of the fruit platter, and then fed her a small piece. "I'll be traveling to Crimsonir for work."Gabriella gently bit into the fruit, gazing at Xavier and surmising that he was going to Crimsonir to look for Amber. She chose not to call him out, though. She instead walked toward the couch, sat down, and looked up at Xavier. "When are you leaving? I'll help you pack your luggage."Though he was reluctant, Xavier replied softly, "I'll be leaving tomorrow morning."He thought Gabriella would be displeased, but she merely smiled faintly and said, "Got it. How long will you be away, then?"Xavier held his phone, mulling it over before saying, "It's not set in stone yet. If things go smoothly, three to five days; if

Xavier and Gabriella simply held each other in silence.Then, as the snow began to fall more heavily, Xavier reached out and pulled the curtains closed, the dense fabric obscuring the view outside.Gabriella merely turned to look at him.Xavier's gaze grew more profound. Then, he reached out, scooped Gabriella up, and made his way to the spacious bed in their bedroom.Gabriella was momentarily stunned. She instinctively threw her arms around Xavier's neck as she was worried that she might fall, before exclaiming, "X-Xavier!"It wasn't that she was reluctant, but the timing didn't feel right. It should have been done at night, in a pitch-dark room, not in the middle of the day, and certainly not on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, as if they were an ordinary couple furtively engaging in private affairs away from the kids.Xavier gently lowered her onto the bed, then moved to hover above her. He cradled the back of her neck and held her gaze, his voice dropping to a low, seductive

Gabriella's eyes lingered on the diamond ring, noting that it fit her perfectly and that the diamond's brilliance was impeccable.It was said that no woman could ever dislike diamonds, and Gabriella, who possessed a substantial jewelry collection herself, recognized that this particular ring, with its extraordinarily rare, roughly eight-carat diamond, easily surpassed the value of all the other pieces.She gazed at it for quite a while, then finally murmured, "Put it on me."Xavier was overcome with joy as he gently slid the diamond ring onto her ring finger. It fit perfectly, and the diamond's brilliance set off her slender fingers beautifully.Xavier then glanced up at her, his eyes brimming with affection.Gabriella smiled faintly, saying, "It's absolutely stunning. Thanks, Xavier."Xavier felt a torrent of words and actions building inside him, but as he met her peaceful gaze, it all softened into a deeply affectionate embrace. His voice was thick with emotion as he murmured,

Gabriella lifted her gaze to look at Xavier.Xavier opened the front passenger door with one hand, while the other reached up to guard the car's frame to protect Gabriella from knocking into it, as he tenderly instructed, "Get in."Gabriella smiled faintly and slipped into the car.Xavier closed the car door but didn't get in right away; instead, he chatted with Julian and Willow.Julian and Willow, as Gabriella's parents, were fraught with mixed feelings. They'd seen this couple fail twice before, leaving them to wonder if a third try would fare any better. However, Gabriella was an adult now, so outright parental intervention felt improper.Thus, Julian simply patted Xavier on the shoulder, saying, "You ought to be more accommodating toward Gabriella if any disagreement arises since it's not good for her to get too worked up."Xavier attempted to reply, but his voice seemed to fail him. He then replied softly after a pause, "I understand. I'll take them back now, and we'll retu

Gabriella squatted down and carefully lifted Xavier's sweater, saying, "I'll take a look at the wound."She knew him well enough to know that he would never allow Cindy, the housekeeper, to change his dressing, preferring to tend to it haphazardly himself. She had no idea what state the wound was in after not seeing him for the past several days.Xavier felt a warmth in his heart, along with being secretly pleased, knowing that Gabriella actually cared about him. He then readily took off his sweater and propped himself up, giving her an unobstructed view of his wound. His abs were well-defined, but a distinct scar, around three inches long, graced his left abdomen, still a tender pink where it hadn't completely healed. Gabriella lightly touched Xavier's wound before she looked up at him and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?" "It doesn't hurt anymore," Xavier replied calmly. He caught her fingers, settled them on his wound, and then sat up to draw her into an embrace. He then kis
