"Truly won't look back?"Xavier Grayson's eagle-sharp black eyes locked onto her. His voice was cold as he spoke. "Chloe Bishop, I'm giving you a chance right now. If you want to leave, I won't stop you. Everything from Bishop Group — I'll return it to you intact."His words made Chloe Bishop's face pale. She forced herself to speak. "Are you saying you want a divorce?"He replied, "If you want one, we can go to the civil affairs bureau right now."His voice was calm and detached — as if he were talking about someone else's affairs, completely indifferent.How could he say something like that so casually?"I don't want that. Xavier Grayson, I'm your wife now. We've been so intimate — how can you say the word 'divorce' so easily?"Chloe Bishop felt an inexplicable sting in her nose. She spoke each word clearly and firmly. "If I truly couldn't let go of Liam Martin, I would have gone to beg him back then.""But I never breathed a word about everything the Bishop family went through in fr

Looking at the little boy's words, all the frustration in Chloe Bishop's heart melted away in an instant. A warm, soft feeling filled her chest. She smiled gently and pressed a kiss to his fair forehead.She almost felt sorry for Xavier Grayson. He doted on the little guy so much, yet in the boy's heart, she ranked far above him. As a father, he was quite the failure.Adrian Grayson's face turned red, his shy expression incredibly soft and adorable.Chloe Bishop ruffled his curly hair, completely defenseless against this porcelain-doll-like, sweet little pup.At the same time, she was amazed by his vocabulary. He was only four years old and hadn't even started school yet!!!It was already very late when Xavier Grayson returned. After putting Adrian Grayson to bed, Chloe Bishop sat on the sofa reading.He glanced at her when he came in, then walked straight into the bedroom without a word.Half an hour later, Chloe Bishop put down her book and entered the bedroom. Xavier Grayson wasn't

Just before stepping into the kitchen, Chloe Bishop turned back and looked at him. "Didn't I bring you food just now?"Xavier Grayson didn't answer. He just looked at her with those deep, dark eyes.After a few seconds of staring, Chloe Bishop surrendered. "What do you want to eat?"Xavier Grayson, "Anything."Chloe Bishop, "..."Anything?Fine. She'd make him a bowl of clear broth noodles.She walked into the kitchen and tied on an apron. Her mind wandered back to the way Xavier Grayson had placed his hand on her back just now. A ridiculous thought crossed her mind.Had he been about to pick her up off the floor?Then again, she thought it was too naive. Given how he had treated her today, why would he ever carry her?He probably just wanted to shake her awake so she could wait on him hand and foot.Given his attitude tonight, she'd just make him plain boiled noodles. If he wanted meat, no way.She filled a pot with water and set it to boil, then took out some noodles to wait. After a

Chloe Bishop said quietly, "The company has a legal department, a planning department, a finance department, and secretaries. Contracts only get sent up after they've been verified by them."Xavier Grayson let out a cold laugh. "Oh, so you do know a thing or two. But how do you know there aren't corporate spies planted among those people by rival companies? What if a contract gets swapped right before it reaches you — would you even notice?"She was utterly schooled and had no retort.Xavier Grayson continued, "At your level, you couldn't take over even if you studied for another ten years. And even if you did, Bishop Group would go under in your hands. Instead of wasting your efforts on that, it's simpler to just figure out how to please me."Figure out how to please you? Simpler?Boss Xavier, Devil Xavier — you clearly don't know yourself well enough.But after a moment of reflection, Chloe Bishop had to admit that while his words were harsh, they held truth.Running a business, mana

Xavier Grayson's frown deepened. "Where are you going?"Chloe Bishop turned back with a playful smile. "To do something to please you — I'm going to run your bath."She entered the bathroom and turned on the faucet, listening to the sound of rushing water. Suddenly, she remembered Gwen Grayson's words from lunch."Chloe, you're his wife now. Flirt with him every chance you get... Keep at it, and feelings will grow. And physical intimacy helps deepen a relationship..."Flirt and feelings would grow?More intimacy would deepen the bond?She couldn't help but walk over to the mirror and examine herself — up and down, front and back. She found that she did have quite the capital for seduction.Maybe she should flirt with him?"What are you doing?"A cold voice suddenly came from outside the door, startling her.Xavier Grayson had just reached the bathroom entrance when he saw Chloe Bishop lifting her hair and pulling down her collar, striking a pose in front of the mirror...Hearing his vo

Chloe Bishop quickly washed the dishes and went back to lie down in the bedroom. Before long, Xavier Grayson came out of the bathroom, and soon she heard the sound of a hairdryer.Should she go help him?What if he rejected her again?Forget it — nothing ventured, nothing gained. Since Xavier Grayson had said, "Instead of wasting your efforts on that, it's simpler to just figure out how to please me," that meant he was at least willing to give her a chance.And besides — he hadn't kicked her out tonight.So she sat up, her gaze fixed on the back of his damp head. She walked over and stood before him, speaking softly, "Let me help?"Xavier Grayson paused, then turned off the hairdryer.Taking that as a yes, she immediately took it from him and let her slender fingers carefully thread through his dark hair.She tried to make conversation. "I noticed you've been at Bishop Group these past two days. When are you going back to Grayson Corporation?""Tomorrow," he said succinctly."So soon?"

Xavier Grayson didn't say anything. Chloe Bishop turned off the light and lay back down.Though they shared the same bed, it was large, and each of them stayed on their own side — the distance between them considerable. Even if she stretched her arm out, she couldn't reach him.She wanted their relationship to progress, but thinking about the pain from that night still made her shudder. She lay still, not daring to move.She wanted to flirt with him — but she had the desire, not the courage.Xavier Grayson hadn't moved since lying down.In the darkness, listening to his even breathing, Chloe Bishop closed her eyes...That night, the news of Chloe Bishop joining Swift Swallow spread through the racing world.The match between Sana and Chloe Bishop became the talk of the town.The crayfish feast at the West City Race Track flooded everyone's social media feeds.Photos of Chloe Bishop were shared across various racing groups. Before she had even officially entered the racing scene, she wa

The little boy wore overalls, revealing his chubby white calves, paired with a white T-shirt on top. On his delicate, porcelain-like face was a hint of cool composure far beyond his years.With his hat on, he looked both cool and adorable — a perfect blend of tough and cute.Xavier Grayson walked over, scooped up the little boy, and headed outside.Chloe Bishop quickly grabbed her bag and followed. When they got outside, she noticed Xavier Grayson didn't seem to be handing the child back to her.So she asked, "Are you taking Adrian out?"No response.She thought for a moment, then turned to look at him. "Are you coming with me to the team?"Finally, he looked at her — his gaze unusually sharp. "What, you don't want me to come?"Was she feeling guilty now?To his surprise, Chloe Bishop's face lit up with delight. Her eyes sparkled like clear pools of water. "I do! Of course I do. But you said you didn't have time last night.""I have time now."She looked so happy. Had he misjudged the

She reached out to straighten his tie, inspecting it from left to right before finally asking, "How does this look?"Xavier Grayson looked at her. "Tuck it back in."She was confused. "Why did you pull it out in the first place?"He looked slightly annoyed. "Too many questions. Just tuck it in."She had no choice but to tuck his tie back in, straighten it quickly, and finish. "Done."Xavier Grayson was looking down at her at that moment. As she lifted her head, her lips brushed against his chin.She froze, then tried to pull back — but Xavier Grayson suddenly pressed his hand to the back of her head, forcing her onto her tiptoes, looking up at him.At such close range, her skin still looked like fine porcelain — smooth, delicate, translucent, as if she'd been soaked in milk.Catching his crisp, clean scent, her ears flushed slightly. "Could you... let go of me?"This was way too close.Xavier Grayson's gaze fell on her small, reddened earlobe. His voice was cool and distant. "Remember

Almost at the same moment, both men rolled down their windows — one cold and imperious, the other genteel yet aloof.Two icy gazes met in midair. The temperature around them plummeted to freezing.Xavier Grayson's expression was frigid, his gaze razor-sharp. His voice carried a warning. "Know when to stop. Next time, you'll bear the consequences."Under Xavier Grayson's stare, Liam Martin didn't flinch. His gaze was equally sharp as a blade — cold, laced with deep resentment and bitterness. "Xavier Grayson, you shouldn't have touched her."Xavier Grayson's presence was like that of a tiger — even sitting still, he exuded an unspoken authority. "Remember this — she is my woman now. Unless I decide I don't want her, no one else may even think of her."Under Liam Martin's bitter, resentful gaze, Xavier Grayson slowly raised his window. His car disappeared from view moments later.Chloe Bishop's call rang for a long time, finally answered on the very last ring. "Where are you?"Her voice w
