Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1027: She and the Child Are His Everything

Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: She and the Child Are His Everything

Leah Thorne knew Justin Xavier too well, his ruthlessness was ingrained in his bones, and he believed in eliminating his enemies completely. His dislike for her brother was plainly written on his face, which filled her with deep fear and anxiety.

With her two small hands hanging by her sides, allowing him to hold her, Leah’s eyes looked a bit scattered. "Justin Xavier, I have no more family in this world. My brother is someone I found after losing, and I absolutely cannot lose him again. The last time he survived took all his luck, and this time it would be a life and death parting. If something happens to my brother, I will... I will go crazy, Justin. I will definitely go crazy."

Justin tightened his arms, not hesitating to hurt her. He really wanted to ask, she loved her brother so much, then what about him?

He really hated Mort Thorne, and now he couldn’t suppress his demonic thoughts. If only Mort Thorne didn’t exist in this world.

All these years, his world was just her, and her world was just him. But now her world suddenly had a third person.

This third person was the one she loved the most, someone he couldn’t hit or scold, deeply dreading.

This feeling was unpleasant, making him restless, yet he dared not lose his temper.

After holding her quietly for a while, Justin gently picked her up and laid her on the big bed. His large hand moved down to cover her flat abdomen. "Mrs. Xavier, let me ask you again, is there anything else you want to confess to me?"

Seeing his handsome eyebrows and eyes softening, and his black eyes bright and expectant as he gazed at her, Leah’s heart skipped a beat, knowing what he was referring to.

He already knew about her pregnancy.

"Justin Xavier," Leah gently covered his large hand, "I’m pregnant. There’s your baby here. You’re going to be a dad."

Actually, Justin himself wasn’t sure if she was pregnant.

When she was 18, she lost a child and the doctor said she could never conceive again.

He had already made up his mind, not having a child was great. It would be just the two of them forever. After all, in this life, the sister was her, the lover was her, Mrs. Xavier was her, and the daughter could be her. All his affection was for her.

However, Hayden Crawford said her sudden change in appetite could very likely mean she was pregnant. This possibility stirred him deeply with uncertainty.

Now, she was looking at him, telling him herself, Justin Xavier, I’m pregnant, you’re going to be a dad.

He was going to be a dad!

Justin Xavier always prided himself on not liking children, but his eyes fell on Leah’s belly and couldn’t move away. He couldn’t bear to look away.

Was there really... his child here?

Their child.

Justin suddenly felt that life was such a wonderful thing. So this was the continuation of bloodline. He felt something surging in his chest, waves crashing, violent yet finally settling into peace. He slowly knelt beside Leah, almost reverently, resting his handsome face on Leah’s still flat abdomen.

The child was still small, and it was too early for fetal movement. He didn’t even know what he was listening for.

But here gave him all the security he needed.

Though he didn’t speak, Leah already felt his immense joy. Leah had an intuition that he would be a good dad in the future.

Leah lifted her small hand, threading her soft fingertips through his neat short hair. She curved her red lips and softly said, "Justin, let’s be like this, okay? The baby and I will always stay by your side. We can have a very happy family. I’ll be a good mom, you’re a good dad. This life, with all its trials and hardships, lacks regrets when I grow old with you, having many descendants."

Justin’s heart was full, almost overflowing. Growing up in the Xavier family, he always felt adrift. But now, by her side, by the side of her and the child, he felt he had everything.

She and the child were his everything.

Now, the idea that she might want to leave with his child and her brother didn’t even cross his mind. It didn’t matter. Just like she said, this way was fine. She made him happy, and he would let her brother go.

Justin softly closed his eyes, his kiss landed on Leah’s belly, "Alright."

...

Leah fell asleep, and Justin went to the study for a while before returning to the bedroom.

He held his phone, talking to his private secretary over the call. The private secretary quietly reported, "Sorry, President, we’ve yet to find Cain Shaw’s contact information."

Justin pushed open the bedroom door, but suddenly paused, sensing something, his cold black eyes scanning inside sharply like an eagle’s. He saw someone by the bed.

Cain Shaw had arrived.

Cain, dressed in black, sat by the bed, looking down at the sleeping Leah. He reached out and lovingly tucked a strand of her long hair back.

Justin’s gaze fell on Cain, speaking to his private secretary, "No need to investigate further."

He hung up the phone and walked in.

The room was silent. Justin looked at Cain, speaking indifferently, "Young Master Thorne, is this how you behave, entering someone else’s room without knocking?"

Cain looked up, meeting his gaze, "I’ve never needed to knock to enter my sister’s room."

Justin quickly frowned, displeased and stern, "Young Master Thorne, do you have a twisted mind? Do you only understand sibling affection, not the difference between men and women?"

Clicking his tongue, Cain thought this man was quite jealous. Surely, everyone knows who truly has a twisted mind, right?

"All I know is, the first man to hold Leah was me, and the first man to kiss Leah was me."

As these words fell, Justin’s cold eyes narrowed dangerously, his whole demeanor icy and threatening.

Cain looked provocatively, slightly raising an eyebrow, "Back then, we haven’t included you in our lives, so where did you crawl out from?"

Justin said nothing, his gaze falling on Cain’s hand, his voice emerging from his throat, "You can move your filthy hand off my Mrs. Xavier’s face now. I don’t like other men touching my woman. It doesn’t matter where I crawled out from, the important thing is you’re an eyesore now. Generally, those who are an eyesore to me disappear from my sight."

"..." Cain couldn’t help but look at Justin differently. He must be the most audacious brother-in-law in history to speak to a brother like that.

Nevertheless, Cain retracted his hand, because he felt Justin had reached his limit of tolerance, his gaze seemed ready to pierce bloody holes into his hand, "What’s your name again, Justin Xavier?"
