Chapter 1270 – Grace’s Embarrassment
*****For a brief second, Little Lola looked like she might retreat entirely and pretend she never heard the phone at all. But then…She gritted her teeth, making up her mind.With that, she carefully reached out and tapped Xavier. “Uncle,” she called out gently.‘This…’It was as though someone had plugged him into an electric socket.Xavier jolted all over, his entire body reacting before his mind caught up, the moment snapping apart instantly.Almost immediately, Grace also returned to her senses, the spell breaking just as abruptly. And the moment her eyes landed on Little Lola… standing there and staring up at them with wide, serious eyes…It felt like a lightning bolt had struck her directly.In one swift, panicked motion, she tore herself out of Xavier’s embrace and jumped back as though she had just been caught committing an unforgivable crime.“Little Lola,” she called awkwardly, her voice betraying her composure as her face flushed a deep, unmistakable red.‘How c
Chapter 1269 – Little Lola’s Hesitation
*****Neither Xavier nor Grace spoke again, yet the silence between them was anything but empty.It was full… dense with unspoken understanding, quiet forgiveness, and a warmth that lingered in the air like a soft, invisible current.The distance that had once existed between them had completely dissolved, replaced by something deeper and steadier.Right now, the connection between them had reached a height neither of them had ever consciously acknowledged before, yet both could feel it clearly.Time moved.Seconds stretched into long, unhurried minutes, each one passing unnoticed… as if the world itself had quietly stepped aside to give them space.The living room remained lively in its own way, voices and movements continuing in the background, yet strangely… no one seemed to notice the pair standing there, lost in their own quiet world.It was almost absurd… two grown adults wrapped in a moment so intense that reality itself felt optional.And just when it seemed like that
Chapter 1268 – ‘How Did I Ever Become This Lucky?’
*****“I…” Grace blurted, her lips parting as she tried to speak, but the words got stuck somewhere between her throat and her courage, refusing to come out properly.Just then…“Alright?” Xavier asked again, his voice still low, still warm, and still carrying that same gentle firmness that didn’t pressure her, yet somehow made it impossible to refuse.Another shiver ran down Grace’s spine, slower this time, deeper, and before she could even process it, her head, seemingly having gained a mind of its own, nodded.She didn’t even realize she had agreed until it was already done.Seeing this, Xavier’s smile deepened slightly, growing warmer… quietly approving and satisfied in a way that made it even more dangerous for her already unsteady heart.Then, without another word or giving her a moment to prepare, he pulled her back into his arms.It was so smooth and natural, as though it had always been meant to happen that way.“Congratulations on the new achievements,” he added war
Chapter 1267 – Butterflies
*****Unlike Xavier, who simply chose to remain still…She looked completely frozen, her body rigid, and her arms hanging loosely by her sides as though they had forgotten how to move.Her lips were slightly parted, her expression blank, appearing as though her soul and spirit had departed her body, leaving behind nothing but an empty puppet.And how would she not appear like this?She had completely wronged Xavier, accused him, blamed him, and pushed everything onto him without hesitation.Grace had prepared herself for what would come after that.Even if Xavier showed no anger, she had expected disappointment… the quiet kind that doesn’t need words, a cold shoulder, and silence.She had anticipated at least something that told her clearly that she had crossed a line, and she had already made up her mind to accept it, after all, she deserved it.But this…It wasn’t any of what she had anticipated.Even if Xavier didn’t show disappointment or give her a cold shoulder, at th
Chapter 1266 – ‘Are… The Adults Okay?”
*****Still inside the massive living room.At this moment, David stood beside Williams, a warm smile resting on his face as he silently supported him, listening attentively as Williams spoke… marveling nonstop about how none of this made any sense to him.“I’ve watched the news for years,” Williams said, his voice still filled with lingering disbelief. “I’ve followed the power shifts, the families, the politics, and almost everything… but this?” He let out a soft breath, almost like a laugh. “Four first-rank families stepping forward like this? Not even for their own people do they act this… eager.”David nodded his head faintly, still not interrupting, his expression saying, ‘I understand exactly what you mean.’“And the Oriens…” Williams added, his tone dipping slightly, though not with anger… just pure astonishment. “For everything to turn around this quickly… it doesn’t even feel real.”David finally chuckled under his breath and muttered, “Looks like karma’s been waiting f
Chapter 1265 – “Don’t!”
*****It was just two words… two short, simple words.However, coming from her, they didn’t sound simple at all.They came out trembling and unbearably heavy, as though they carried everything she couldn’t put into speech… regret, guilt, and millions of other unspoken words layered one over the other until those two words alone felt like an entire confession.It was the kind of sincerity that couldn’t be faked.The moment the words left her lips, her body quivered again, her composure cracking further under the weight of everything she felt.“I…” she tried to continue, her voice catching in her throat, desperate to say more, to explain, and make things right somehow.But…“Shhh…”A soft sound cut through her words, and before she could even process it, she felt a warm finger gently pressing against her lips, halting everything she was about to say.Grace flinched slightly, her eyes widening in surprise as her mouth instinctively parted beneath the touch.Her mind stalled fo
