jealous

Riley calmed down her emotions, only to realize that she had not even washed her face before facing him after getting up from the bed.

She grabbed her hair in shock and made for the bathroom Covering her face. Xavier eyed the way she seemed awkward and embarrassed, his elegant brows furrowing.

"This isn't our first day of marriage It's not like this is the first time I'm seeing your face in the morning either so Why are you hiding?". This had nothing to do with how long they have been married! Especially since Riley was never conscious of the fact that she was married previously!.

She did not explain she only ended up running into the bathroom and immediately stood in front of the mirror to check if her eyes were sore.

When she looked down, she found that his bathroom did not have the products she used for washing up.

Who knew if after last night Xavier would directly move his things back to the main bedroom. Seeing that Xavier had already left the room, she took the opportunity to run back to the main bedroom and moved the things she frequently used to his bedroom.

This way, regardless of which room he chose to stay in, she would Occupy both! There was nowhere he could escape!.

Riley changed her clothes and went downstairs for breakfast. On the table was the custard, toast she always loved to eat.

She had just sat down when Xavier placed a cup of warm milk Auntie Shu had brought over in front of her.

She sat by the table took the cup of milk, bit on the toast and took a glance at Xavier. She then took another bite of the toast and glanced up at Xavier once more.

As she ate her breakfast her eyes rarely left Xavier. When Auntie Shu who was cleaning at the side saw this she could not help but smile, quietly tugging the helper at the side to return to the kitchen.

Riley took another bite of the toast, not even realizing that a bit of custard was left on the side of her mouth. Her eyes were fixed on the man who had already finished his breakfast and was currently reading a business magazine.

He had a pair of stern and clear brows and eyes a straight nose bridge and a handsome silhouette that seemed to be crafted by God himself.

He was perfect to the point where no one could find anything to fuss about. Xavier paused his actions of flipping the magazine, calmly turning to look at the little woman whose eyes seemed to be stuck on him.

Her gaze seemed as though he would vanish at any instant. Riley returned to her spirits and rushed to bring the toast in her hand up to cover her eyes Picking up her glass of milk, she chugged a large mouthful.

Due to being too rushed, she choked and had to quickly put down her cup and toast, violently coughing twice:

"Cough... cough cough". Xavier brought Some napkins in front of her. Seeing how she was still coughing loudly he directly helped her wipe the custard off her lips.

"You've been acting strange since yesterday. Do you like to stare at me so much?".

"Cough, cough, cough.." She actually did not choke so seriously but hearing his words she immediately coughed loudly several times on purpose. This time Auntie Shu rushed out from the kitchen.

"Madam, what's wrong? You're coughing so badly".

"Cough, cough nothing, I just choked on the milk".

"So long as you're all right. Oh yes, yesterday Miss Milly said that she wants to come and stay at the Here tonight. This evening shall I prepare dinner for her as well?". Her expression did not change.

After coughing twice more, she turned to say.

"Auntie Shu, clean up the guest bedroom my sister always uses. From now onward don't let her stay at the Here as much as possible."

"But Miss Milly will be coming today".

"I'Il speak to her about it After all, this is not the Houston's family home. It's not right for her to come in and out of here all the time". Hearing this, Auntie Shu's heart became much more comfortable.

In the past, she always felt that that second lady who kept coming to the mansion, loved to ask alI sorts of questions about Mr. Noah, and even treated him like a family member, and she was the kind of person that made it really difficult to get used to.

Auntie Shu did not wait for even a second and rushed to clean up the guest room before the young Mistress would change her mind.

All of a sudden Xavier's phone which was placed on the dining table vibrated.

Riley initially thought it would only be a spam message. Seeing how his eyes remained fixed on a particular English article in the business magazine, mindless of his phone, her gaze flew towards his phone screen.

Seeing the number on the screen her eyes flashed, and she reached over to take his phone.

09038xxxxxx [Brother Xavier, please don't be mad at my sister, I didn't expect that she would use such methods and drug you. She originally wanted to send you another woman's bed, I persuaded her for a really long time but she wouldn't listen. With the way you guys are interacting, will there be a happy ending? My heart aches for my sister, and l also feel that it is not worth it for you, Brother Xavier!]

After reading the message, Riley's beautiful brows furrowed.

"Your phone number, do many people know it?". Riley looked up making Xavier glanced at her before placing the magazine in his hands to the side.

"Many people? Whom does that refer to?". Riley remembered that Xavier's private number was not known to many people and was not easily accessible to others.

"I just did not expect Milly to be so Concerned about Our relationship and to message you because of my actions". Riley smiled while intentionally allowing some jealousy to be revealed in her eyes.

Xavier eyed her restrained expression and asked,

"Weren't you the one who gave her my number?". It seems like that did indeed happen.

Milly often took her phone to play and She had not paid much attention to when exactly she had memorized Xavier's private number.

"She sends them, but that doesn't mean I will read them". Xavier calmly said. Hearing this, Riley scrolled down, discovering many unread messages.

Aside from a few emails and messages from the the company, there really were also several unread messages from Milly.

After randomly reading a few, she discovered that they were mostly made to sound as though she was a kind younger sister speaking up for her older sister, but in fact, they made Riley sound as though she was often unreasonable and had a weird personality.

She was indeed full of schemes! At the moment when she became silent, Xavier suddenly spoke calmly,

"Being young doesn't equate to being innocent. Family relations should not be trusted without question. That you can see things clearly early on is not a bad thing." Riley suspiciously eyed the man in front of her who seemed to have already known everything from the start.

No wonder Xavier rarely returned home whenever Milly was around, It seems like he had already seen through Milly's thoughts.

She really wanted to beat up herself from ten years ago! Why was her heart so big and foolish at the same time?! With this thought Riley violently slapped her forehead and ended up hitting the wounded spot from last night.

She hissed in surprise while her whole face scrunched up in pain. Xavier sat up and walked over pushing her hand aside.

Seeing her sore forehead, he frowned.

"Does it not hurt enough? Do you have to make the wound Worse?". Riley raised her head of course It hurt to he point where tears were coming out.

Glancing at his stern expression, she could not hold in her ashamed expression.

"I won't let anyone come in as they please anymore. In the past did I cause a lot of trouble for you?".

"Everything concerning you is not any trouble For this sort of thing, the decision lies in your hands". Xavier held her head, checking her wound before calling for a helper to come over.

"Bring the medicine from last night here and apply it on her again."
