Semua Bab Unveiling the True Match: Bab 511 - Bab 520

"I want to ease the tension between us, as well as the misunderstanding between you and Xoan," said Yaslyn with gentle sincerity that seemed to surprise Sheldon.Sheldon shifted uncomfortably. "There's no conflict to ease," he said, his words holding a barely concealed defensiveness."I know," Yaslyn continued, her gaze steady, "that ever since I ran away from our wedding, something has been bothering you. Even when you seem indifferent, I know it bothers you. We've never really had a chance to discuss it."Mentioning this matter again left Sheldon somewhat disoriented. The usual fierceness on his face melted away, revealing vulnerability and avoidance."You know, I..." Sheldon began, but Yaslyn interrupted him."I know that this matter is important to you, so I want to sincerely apologize. I'm sorry for hurting you and for not reciprocating your feelings. I believe you'll meet someone better, but it's not that woman from before," said Yaslyn compassionately.Sheldon's emotions g

"I don't have any qualms, it just feels a bit strange," confessed Yaslyn.Xoan comfortingly pulled Yaslyn into his embrace. "I know. It's surely not just Mr. Qasim, the grandfather's doing. There's more beneath the surface. Santiago's little schemes are clear as day to me.""I suppose so.""So don't worry. If he plans anything against you, I won't let him off the hook." His words held a tinge of jealousy, making him sound almost childishly possessive.Yaslyn straightened his coat and playfully pinched his nose. "Don't worry, I'm well aware."Just as the two were about to step out, a commotion erupted. A group of police officers burst in, trailed by a flock of curious employees."Mr. Xoan Warren, we've received a report accusing you of illegal business practices and tax evasion. Please come with us," one of the officers, presenting his credentials, announced.Their plans for a meal were derailed as they followed the police to the station.As they departed, Yaslyn distinctly saw

The word 'virgin' left Xoan feeling somewhat awkward."Can you use another word for it?" he asked.Yaslyn was beyond words in surprise. Xoan was an innocent young man all this time?!"Who would've thought!" she exclaimed.Xoan, usually oblivious to such matters, saw her laughing uncontrollably and furrowed his brow, misunderstanding her amusement. "What are you talking about?""Nothing, it's just..." Yaslyn mused, finding some joy in this revelation.Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Xoan. Somehow, the pain from the previous night did not seem so bad.Although Xoan did not fully understand her words, seeing her seemingly happy made him drop the subject. However, recollections from the night before started surfacing, and his gaze deepened.Yaslyn, nestled in his arms, sensed something amiss, and her face flushed crimson. "What are you doing—"Yaslyn's lips were swiftly sealed with a kiss that swallowed the rest of her words."Making a baby," Xoan's voice was soft and husky. T

Tyler was still showing the other woman around the law firm while Zyra had already slipped away from the firm silently. When he turned his head back, his gaze fell upon Xantara standing alone at the reception desk, her eyes fixed straight ahead.To his surprise, when Xantara met his gaze, there was not the usual adoration in her eyes, but instead a flicker of disappointment and disdain.Disdain?He blinked, thinking he must have been seeing things. When he looked at her again, Xantara had already looked away, focusing attentively on the entrance."What are you looking at, Tyler?"The girl waved her hand in front of his face, bringing his wandering thoughts back to her."Nothing, Silvestra. Let's head upstairs."Silvestra Yates waved him off. "No need. Someone is waiting for me. Let's call it a day for our date, Mr. Stone. See you tomorrow."Tyler retracted his gaze, nodding gently. "Alright, take care on your way.""I know. Goodbye."Silvestra slung her small bag over her sho

Yaslyn noticed that Xoan had become surprisingly bold since they had crossed the final hurdle in their relationship.Even at the dinner table, Xoan could not help but lean in close to Yaslyn and whisper sweet nothings as if he was afraid they were not close enough. He took the term 'hands-on' to a whole new level, going so far as to feed her himself.When Yaslyn asked Xoan why, he would just smile and say it was his pleasure before playfully popping a piece of fruit into her mouth. Yaslyn was not quite used to this level of attention, but she could not deny she enjoyed being pampered by Xoan.If he was into it, she figured she might as well indulge him.However, she caught him eyeing her stomach several times like he expected a baby to pop out at any moment."You're not pregnant, are you?" Xoan asked, casually resting his hand on her belly with a tenderness that suggested he was ready for fatherhood.Yaslyn swatted his hand away with a snap, frowning in confusion. "What are you t
