Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1025: Justin Xavier Saw the Plane Ticket
Cain Shaw glanced at Tanya Sullivan, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"
Tanya Sullivan said, "Maybe I’m saving your life."
As she spoke, Tanya Sullivan looked again at Justin Xavier’s back, "That man is very dangerous, either terrifyingly heartless or terrifyingly devoted."
Cain Shaw raised an eyebrow. For some reason, this girl’s opinion always seemed to align with his. This intangible tacit understanding felt like a magnetic field. He let out a "hmm" and said, "It’s a pity you didn’t go to police school."
Tanya Sullivan looked at him, "If I got into police school, you’d be the first one I’d arrest."
Cain Shaw looked at her injured leg, "With just you?"
Tanya Sullivan snorted coldly, "I’m a champion in rock climbing and skydiving. Don’t mention jumping from the third floor; even if I were to jump off a cliff, I’d survive."
With that, she turned and left.
Cain Shaw watched with interest as the girl’s charming figure disappeared. This daughter of the Hollis family was indeed interesting.
...
Justin Xavier went upstairs, and at that moment, his phone rang in his pocket.
It was Leah Thorne calling.
Justin Xavier pressed the button to answer, "Hello, Mrs. Xavier, I’m back with the candied hawthorn you wanted."
"Justin Xavier, I’m not in the hospital room now, and you don’t need to return there. I’m waiting for you in Serena’s office. I’ve almost recovered, and we should be discharged today," Leah Thorne said.
Justin Xavier nodded, "Alright."
After hanging up, Justin Xavier headed straight for Serena Sterling’s office, walking with a steady, resounding stride, his handsome face calm and unflustered.
But soon, his shiny black leather shoes suddenly halted. Justin Xavier turned around, heading in the opposite direction—towards Leah Thorne’s hospital room.
The hospital room had already been tidied up, with no trace of a patient having stayed there. All of Leah Thorne’s hospital records had been erased, personally handled by Serena Sterling.
Justin Xavier walked in. The room was now cold and quiet, without a sound. His handsome features immersed in shadow, inexplicably revealing a sense of profound detachment, his piercing black eyes scanning the room sharply, before stepping forward to open the drawer of the bedside table.
He meticulously checked each drawer but found nothing.
When he opened the last drawer, his fingers paused, because lying quietly at the bottom was a plane ticket.
It was a plane ticket sent by Cain Shaw.
...
In the office, Leah Thorne held the cup of hot water Serena Sterling handed her. She still felt uneasy, always sensing that a crack had opened regarding her brother’s identity. A woman’s sixth sense is always so accurate.
"Serena, I’m really scared. I think I’ve made the worst decision. I shouldn’t have met with my brother."
Serena Sterling held Leah Thorne’s cold little hand, "Leah, it’s not your fault."
"If anything happens to my brother this time, I’ll never forgive myself." Leah Thorne’s face was as pale as paper, still unsettled.
Serena Sterling could understand Leah Thorne, knowing that concern causes confusion, "Leah, actually, even though your brother’s current life seems calm, it’s full of danger. This time, he came back entirely for you. Since you’ve chosen to stay here and be with Justin Xavier, your brother should leave here as soon as possible. You can’t meet again; this is the most rational course of action right now."
Serena Sterling quickly analyzed the pros and cons, and Leah Thorne nodded firmly, "Okay."
Serena Sterling didn’t know what she thought of, her lips curving gradually into a clever, bright smile, "Leah, don’t worry too much, your brother doesn’t want you to do anything. Just protect yourself. The important thing is, your brother is no longer alone; someone has come into his life."
Who?
"This person is young but really understands him. She understands his every careful step, is rapidly growing, and is on a path that matches his. She understands his beliefs and will one day stand by his side, protecting and watching with him. These are things Leah, you can’t give your brother; that is his path. Now, someone is with your brother."
Leah Thorne looked at Serena Sterling, whose smile held a refined smartness and deep meaning, with an expression of... appreciation. Leah Thorne could see that Serena Sterling admired that "someone."
Is that "someone"... that girl named Tanya Sullivan?
In Leah Thorne’s mind appeared the cool, oval face of Tanya Sullivan. The 19-year-old girl was already quite stunning, and in a few years, she’d certainly be a renowned ice beauty.
But, Tanya Sullivan is still too young. By the time she grows up in a few years, her brother will be nearing forty; this age gap...
Leah Thorne suddenly began to worry about her brother’s lifelong happiness.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Leah Thorne looked up, and the office door was pushed open, with the tall, handsome figure of Justin Xavier coming in.
Justin Xavier is here.
"President Xavier, you’ve arrived. Leah’s things are all packed, and you can take her home now. Please make sure to take good care of your Mrs. Xavier in the future," Serena Sterling ceremoniously performed a handover. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Justin Xavier gave Serena Sterling a calm look, as if to say, was that even necessary?
"What kind of candied hawthorn would you like?" Justin Xavier asked Leah Thorne softly.
Leah Thorne, "What kinds are there?"
"Strawberry, blueberry, cherry tomato... and traditional hawthorn."
He had practically bought out the candied hawthorn market.
"I’d like the hawthorn one." Leah Thorne currently had a strong craving for anything sour, and hawthorn is the sourest.
Justin Xavier wasn’t surprised by her choice at all. He took out the hawthorn candied hawthorn and personally opened the sugar coat before handing it to her little hand.
Leah Thorne took a bite, relishing the tangy, sweet taste.
Justin Xavier, carrying the packed items with one hand and holding her small hand tightly with the other, said, "Let’s go home."
Justin Xavier took Leah Thorne home.
...
In the villa.
Leah Thorne returned to the master bedroom, where Justin Xavier hugged her from behind, his thin lips landing a kiss on her cheek, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What do you want for dinner? I’ll cook it myself."
Leah Thorne softened her body, leaning into his embrace, "When did President Xavier turn into a chef?"
"Isn’t it because your little mouth has become fussier, and I need to feed you," Justin Xavier’s big hand slid down to rest on her flat abdomen.
Leah Thorne didn’t notice his gesture. He often touched her stomach casually, worrying about her tummy ache occasionally. She thought for a moment, "With Chef Xavier online, do I even have a choice? I’ll eat whatever you can cook."
Despite being a busy President, he had the heart of a chef, though not yet the skills and hadn’t activated an online menu service yet.
"Okay." Justin Xavier responded, not letting her go but instead burying his handsome face in her delicate neck and kissing it, "Mrs. Xavier, who did you meet today, hmm?"
