*****

Another tear traced a slow descent from Xavier’s eye, carving a silent path down his cheek. It fell without sound but struck his soul like a boulder crashing into still water… breaking open everything he had held shut.

Perhaps he had never truly wept because he had never truly faced it.

Maybe it was because the sorrow had always been too heavy to carry and too sharp to touch without getting cut. But now, with the wall finally broken and the full force of the grief bearing down on him raw and relentless, Xavier lowered his head.

His shoulders quivered as the long-buried pain surged up like a merciless flood.

He felt it now... every jagged piece, every aching silence, every single second of it.

But just then…

“The Founding Father might have died…”

A voice suddenly cracked the moment like a whip… raspy, jagged, and bitter, cutting through the air like rusted metal across glass.

Xavier’s head snapped up slightly, his tear-streaked face twisting in mild startle as the weight

  • Chapter 698 – (Free Chapter ) God’s Time and Selene’s Disbelief II

    (Free Chapter )*****“I was thinking I would work a few more months, add to the money the Blackwood already gave us. That way, I can buy a proper house somewhere decent and somewhere I can finally give my children the life I promised them when I left the village.”As God’s Time finished speaking, he lowered his gaze, avoiding Xavier’s expression as anxiety crawled up his spine.'What if he thinks I’m stalling? Or trying to dodge responsibility?' The thought burned into his mind like acid. ‘What if he believes I lied just to keep my kids away?’But then…Xavier smiled, the same rare, inexplicably reassuring smile.“I understand your dilemma,” he said, nodding his head. “How about this? Once you’re feeling a bit stronger, you and your wife can go find your dream house. Pick anywhere and anywhere. I’ll pay for it upfront.”God’s Time’s breath caught in his throat.“But…” Xavier continued before the man could interrupt, “I’ll deduct five percent of your salary every month until y

  • Chapter 697 – God’s Time and Selene’s Disbelief I

    *****“Young… young master,” God’s Time croaked, his throat thick with disbelief, “isn’t… isn’t that money too much for the kind of job I would be doing?”A bead of sweat ran down his temple, and then another. It was as though his body had entered a full-blown panic from sheer good news overload.Xavier gave a knowing smile, almost as if he had predicted this very question. “You would be working for me,” he said, his voice firm but calm. “Anything less than that would be an insult to my reputation.”He stretched lazily. “Moreover, I move around a lot. Which means you’ll practically live behind the wheel.”To anyone else, that might have sounded pompous. But to God’s Time and Selene?It was law, sacred, and a divine truth spoken by a merciful god. They looked at Xavier the way true believers must’ve gazed at prophets performing miracles before their eyes.The silence lingered again, but this time, it was electric… buzzing with rising emotions and surging with disbelief and mount

  • Chapter 696 – Xavier’s Offer

    *****Hearing Xavier’s question, God’s Time and his wife exchanged glances, quick, nervous, and almost conspiratorial.Then, God’s Time’s eyes dropped, avoiding Xavier’s gaze as though it had suddenly become the sun itself, a deep flush creeping into his cheeks, and a flicker of shame flashed in his eyes.“Young Master,” he mumbled, barely managing to squeeze the words out. “You know I come from a… from a really backward village, right? So, apart from farming… planting, harvesting, and tending animals, the only other thing I really know how to do is drive. That has been my job for some years now.”He trailed off, his voice folding in on itself like a crumbling sandcastle.His face dimmed, like someone slowly realizing they might have just disqualified themselves from a lottery win. His chest rose and fell rapidly beneath his threadbare shirt, anxiety hammering away like a carpenter on a deadline.‘The job he has in mind is definitely not driving!’But just then…“That’s perfec

  • Chapter 695 – Xavier’s Disappointment and Relief

    ******God’s Time’s voice was steady and sincere, as though he were reciting a sacred vow passed down from his ancestors. Even his posture on the bed straightened, like he was preparing to receive an honorary medal.Xavier blinked slowly, still processing. Then he opened his mouth to speak, but it was like his brain and mouth had declared war, and communication had broken down.‘This man turned down a dream salary which millions would die to have… because of a vague promise I made when I didn’t even have a job lined up for him?’That thought alone echoed through Xavier’s skull like someone banging pots in a cathedral.Moments earlier, he had been genuinely thrilled for God’s Time when the man mentioned getting a well-paying job. His excitement had been twofold… first, because the old man deserved good fortune after everything he had endured… but more importantly?It was due to relief. Sweet and glorious relief.The truth was, Xavier had come to check on God’s Time and give him

  • Chapter 694 – Xavier’s Speechlessness

    ******Xavier wiped the tears forming at the corners of his eyes. “Come on. You really think I’m that petty? And what is this... a reality show where contestants swear loyalty unto death?”Still chuckling, he continued, “Look. My job offer was my way of showing support… giving you a second chance, not shackling you to me forever. If something better came along, and I mean a six-figure after-tax better… you’d be crazy not to take it!”“But…” Selene hesitated, clearly still embarrassed.“No ‘but’,” Xavier said firmly, now grinning. “What matters is that you’re safe, you’re healthy, and now you’re finally being rewarded for the hell you’ve survived.”The couple exchanged glances... long, silent, and wide-eyed. It was the kind of stare two partners give each other after surviving a car crash or narrowly escaping a loan shark.They had both been bracing for Xavier’s reaction all day, chewing on their lips and each other’s nerves ever since the offer arrived that morning.It had felt

  • Chapter 693 – The Couple’s Unfounded Anxiousness

    ******“I didn’t mean to interrupt your little lovey-dovey paradise,” Xavier said at last, his voice laced with a mischievous lilt, the corner of his lips twitching upward.Selene’s cheeks instantly flushed a dangerous shade of crimson. Her hands flew to her face as if that would somehow hide her from the humiliation. “We weren’t…! I mean…! It’s not like that…!”God’s Time, however, grinned from ear to ear, puffing out his chest like a rooster that had just won the village brawl. “You didn’t interrupt a thing, Young Master Xavier. You simply caught us… Practicing marital wellness.”Xavier tilted his head, unimpressed but clearly entertained. “Practicing, huh? I could’ve sworn it looked like you were about to win the Olympic gold in public affection.”God’s Time chuckled proudly, while Selene practically combusted on the spot.Rolling his eyes at the old man’s unapologetic pride, Xavier stepped further into the room. “Looks like you’re already on the mend... the mummy wrappings a
