Xavier was bent over while holding Gabriella in his arms. Her hair draped across her pale shoulders, creating a seductive sight. Her slender figure was enough to captivate any man.He had once been obsessed with her, but now, beyond the desire, was heartache. He held her tightly, as if he had found something he had once lost.Even though she wasn't his now, she could still be in the future. The thought of it made his heart burn. He couldn't stop himself and lowered his head to kiss her.Once their lips met, they were inseparable. He didn't want to stop and let her go. The kiss burned her lips and her heart as it lingered and repeated.Gabriella simply couldn't escape. Xavier held her so tightly that she couldn't move. She was forced to tilt her head back. Caught in his arms, she had to endure the kiss until it ended.When it finally did, she instinctively slapped his face, only for him to grab her by the wrist. He rested his chin on top of her head and said, "I'll help you change,

Xavier left quickly. Violet was left standing alone in the heavy snowfall, her expression utterly blank. She had no idea what was going on in her own mind or what memory she was revisiting. Maybe it was the snowfall at Crimsonir years ago. The filming crew was gathered together, cutting slices of grilled meat, and the set was surrounded by laughter and cheers. Back then, Violet considered her to be a person with a shred of dignity. But that didn't help her at all. She was broke and powerless. Becoming a shameless person with no dignity was the better alternative.She laughed, tears running down her cheeks.…Violet walked over to her car and opened the door, intending to get in. Suddenly, a pair of arms jerked her inside, followed by a gruff male voice. "You're finally back, bitch."She was immediately stunned. She recognized the voice—it was Kurt. Turning around slowly, she saw the face that struck fear in her heart.She hadn't seen Kurt for half a year, but he seemed more

Xavier stepped forward and carried the twins from the carriage. Afterward, he extended a hand to Gabriella, who refused to let him help her. Yet, with the carriage so tall, she had no choice but to hold his hand and hop off. She lost her footing and actually ended up falling into his arms. Then, she caught the fresh tobacco scent off of him, making her dizzy. Gabriella was about to squirm, but Xavier tightened his grip on her waist. His voice was hoarse when he spoke. "It's been so long since I've held you."Recently, they had been meeting each other quite frequently, but she had always been very careful not to let him get close to her. He couldn't help but feel frustrated. After all, he yearned to be intimate with her. So, it felt wonderful to have her in his embrace. But Xavier didn't get to savor the moment for long. The kids were still around. Lynn raised her head and stared at them, her gaze glistening with bewilderment and curiosity. It looked like she was trying to deci

Xavier looked at Kurt, noticing the odd shape on his pocket. It was very likely a knife. He chuckled dismissively. "You probably asked to see me because you have a favor to ask. Why should I be afraid of you? Spit it out. Let me know what you want, and we'll see if it entices me."Kurt was also very perceptive. "Mr. Lund, for you to show up here, it is already proof that you're interested."Xavier chuckled again, taking a packet of cigarettes out of his coat pocket. He pulled one out and put it between his lips before lowering his head to shield the flame from the wind. After he lit it, he took a drag and exhaled a light green cloud that was carried off by the wind. It was all done in a single, fluid motion.Kurt looked at Xavier helplessly, his voice soft. "Mr. Lund, I know I wouldn't have been able to talk to you at all, if it weren't for the bitch, Violet. I'm a simple man, and I'll get right to the point. "I asked to see you because I'm all out of options. Amber is my daug

Gabriella stared at Xavier with unblinking eyes. After a brief pause, she chuckled nonchalantly. "Jealous? Me? You're overthinking it!"Although she denied it, Xavier knew she was jealous, and the notion filled his heart with love and joy. No one else was in the ward. So, he explained, "I'm not interested in young ladies."Gabriella nodded. "Yeah, I'm no longer young."She thought that would fluster him, but he was too thick-skinned for that. He grabbed her hand and said, "I like mature, alluring women like you. The other ladies don't feel right for me."Gabriella grunted. Pouring him a bowl of soup, she asked, "The doctor said you could have some food, right?"Xavier's gaze deepened. "Are you feeding me?"She said, "How are you this shameless?"He thought he had blown his chance and was about to force himself to sit upright. At the next moment, she sat by the side of his bed with the bowl of soup in her hands. "Open up."Xavier felt dizzy all of a sudden. The surge of happin
