They both drank in silence, the atmosphere surprisingly harmonious and peaceful.

Perhaps it had been too long since she last had a drink, but after just one cup, Serena felt her head starting to spin.

She stood up, intending to pour herself another drink. However, her steps were unsteady, and she stumbled back into the lazy sofa.

Xavier saw this and quickly put down his glass, walking over to her. “Stop drinking. You’re already a little drunk.”

“I’m not drunk!” Serena waved her hand in protest, “I have a high alcohol tolerance! Come on, pour me some more!”

“You can’t drink anymore!” Xavier reached to take the glass from her hand, but she quickly dodged him.

Laughing lightly, he said with a tone of indulgence, “You’re so drunk you can’t stand, but your hands are still so nimble…”

“Drunk? Who’s drunk?! I’ll tell you, I’m famous for

  • The Art of Revenge   Unbelievable

    Xavier stared at her blankly, his expression a mix of shock and hurt.Serena glanced at him once, then quickly turned her eyes away, not daring to look at him again. "Let's go to the hospital room first. Right now, your health is the most important thing. Everything else can wait."His handsome face fell, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he just sighed and obediently followed her out of the examination room.VIP respiratory ward.With the help of the doctor and nurse, Xavier was quickly settled.Stretching out his arms, frowning, he looked down at the blue and white hospital gown he was wearing, his face written with a thousand unwilling thoughts. "Do I really have to wear this ugly thing?"Serena sat on the sofa not far from him, propping her chin up with her hand, admiring him while praising, "Tsk, they say 'a man is judged by his clothes, a horse by its saddle,' but I don't think that's true. This plain hospital gown

  • The Art of Revenge   Lose Control

    Serena suddenly looked up, her expression complex, as if she understood something. “Is it because what she said made me feel more guilty, and that’s why you acted that way toward her?!”“Otherwise, what?! She made you uncomfortable, so why should I show her any courtesy?” The man answered confidently.Serena’s nose began to tingle again. She quickly inhaled, not wanting to lose composure in front of him.She rubbed her nose and casually asked, “How do you feel now? If you’re able to walk, let’s get to the hospital room as soon as possible.”Xavier propped himself up on the bed, moving his wrist a bit. “I’m much better. I feel like I’ve recovered. There’s no need for more treatment. I can discharge myself.”With that, he got off the bed and walked toward the door.Serena quickly followed a few steps, grabbing his arm from behind. “Stop messing around! You have

  • The Art of Revenge   Arguments

    Vernon Hospital.Since the phone call with Karina, Xavier and Serena haven’t spoken to each other.She turned her head to face the window, pretending to look at the view outside.He, on the other hand, pressed his lips together and stared at her, not saying a word, seemingly lost in thought.More than twenty minutes passed. Serena endured and endured, but eventually couldn’t hold it in any longer. She turned around and glanced at the IV bag hanging beside the bed.The liquid in the bag was almost gone. She roughly estimated the remaining time it would take for the infusion to finish, then turned back, ready to continue watching the sparrows on the tree outside the window."Serena!" A hoarse voice came from behind.Serena didn’t turn around immediately. After a few seconds, she replied, "Hmm?!""Hey!" Xavier sighed, his voice low, "I was wrong!""Huh..." Serena finally turned around to lo

  • The Art of Revenge   I Like Him

    Feeling uneasy under his gaze, Serena looked down at her fingers. "It's your phone, isn't it? Whether you answer it or not, what's that got to do with me? If you want to pick it up, then do so. If not, don't. Why are you asking me?"Xavier didn't say another word but silently stared at her.A few seconds later, his lips curled up in a playful smirk, and he grabbed the phone, putting it to his ear. "Miss Carter."Before the person on the other end spoke, his sharp eyes briefly flicked over to Serena. He then took the phone away from his ear and switched it to speaker mode.On the other end, a sweet, slightly shy female voice came through. “Xavier, what are you up to?”“Not much, just resting,” Xavier replied casually. “We just had lunch, and Miss Carter’s already calling me. Is something wrong?”Karina pouted playfully, "From the sound of it, you don’t seem too thrilled that I called.""No!" Xavier sai

  • The Art of Revenge   Sentimental and Nostalgic

    Serena didn’t react immediately. She pointed at her nose. "Cute?! Are you talking about me?!"She acknowledged that she was somewhat attractive, and many people had complimented her on her looks throughout her life, but no one had ever called her cute, let alone him."Yeah! Who else is here besides you?!" Xavier smiled, his lips curling up.Her heart, which had calmed down a little, once again started racing uncontrollably. Serena lowered her head. "Stop joking. I know what I look like. How could I possibly be cute?!""Well, you seem to have some misunderstanding about yourself!" Xavier insisted. "Just now, when you pouted like that, you looked like a little round pufferfish. So adorable!"Serena frowned. "Hey, can you have some conscience? I was angry just now, and instead of comforting me, you’re focusing on whether I’m cute or not?!"Xavier grinned, revealing two rows of perfectly white teeth. "By the way, if I want to s

  • The Art of Revenge   Enjoy The View

    The man’s thin lips twitched, and he broke into a smile. He didn’t open his eyes or say a word, but his grip on her hand loosened.Taking the opportunity, Serena quickly pulled her right hand free. She didn’t even have time to rub it before she hurriedly rushed out of the examination room.She hurried to the hospital registration desk, and by the time she arrived, beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead.The woman in line ahead of her glanced back and kindly stepped aside. "Miss, is your family situation urgent? If you like, you can go ahead!"Serena waved her hand. "No, thank you, Auntie. There aren’t many people in front of me; I’ll just wait my turn.""Ah, no need to be so polite! Look at your face, it’s all red. You must have rushed here in a hurry. Go ahead, take your turn!"Hearing this, Serena instinctively touched her face.Wow, it's so hot!Embarrassed, she smiled. "Aunti

  • The Art of Revenge   A Kiss

    Serena’s heart skipped a beat. She quickly looked away, trying to pull her hand back from his grip. "Let go, the doctor will be here soon, it's not good if someone sees us.""What are you afraid of?" Xavier didn't let up, "You’ve already divorced Clint, and I'm single. We're both unmarried, so what’s the big deal if we hold hands? Even if we hug, they wouldn’t dare to say anything.""This is a hospital! Watch your image, will you?!" Serena lowered her voice, "You're a famous figure in Vernon. If you're recognized and it ends up trending on social media, Uncle Blaze definitely won’t let you off the hook.""Always bringing up my dad to pressure me!" Xavier was reluctant but still let go of her hand.Serena smiled at him. "I knew it, only Uncle Blaze can handle you! You've been afraid of him since you were little!""You think I let go because I’m scared of him?!""Isn't that the reason?!" Serena said confidently. "Uncle

  • The Art of Revenge   Sick

    Vernon Hospital.From the moment they got out of the car, Xavier switched into clingy mode, wrapping his arm around Serena's slender arm and refusing to let go.Serena wanted to get angry, but he whined and used his fever as an excuse.After grinding her teeth a few times and silently repeating to herself, ‘He’s a patient, don’t argue with him,’ she finally managed to suppress her anger a little.Beside the registration window, Xavier’s head leaned back onto Serena's shoulder. She gritted her teeth and complained, "Mr. Blaze, you’re clinging to me like a koala, how am I supposed to register for you?!"The man shamelessly smiled, saying, "I told you before, I don’t need to be at the hospital. As long as you let me lean on you for a while, I’ll be fine soon!""Leaning on me will make you better?!" Serena rolled her eyes in disbelief, "I’m not a magic potion. If I c

  • The Art of Revenge   Rejected

    Serena turned around, and Xavier was smirking, leaning casually against the car. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? You haven’t even had the cocktail I ordered for you."He shouldn’t have mentioned the drink. As soon as he did, an unnamed fury flared up inside Serena.She turned her face and angrily asked, “Your drinks, I can’t afford them. Don’t you have many fiancées? Go drink with them. You seemed to be having a great time with that woman just now!”“I was having a great time!” Xavier nodded, “At least, she doesn’t treat me like air and ignore me.”His blunt admission made Serena even more irritable.She turned back to the car door and tried to open it again. “Fine, if you’re happy, go find her. Why are you blocking me?!”Xavier stretched out his long arm and blocked her path. “Are you angry?”“No!” Serena turned her face away,
