Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1060: He Will Never Leave Her Again
Serena looked at Leah, gently holding her little hand, "Leah, I know who Justin Xavier is..."
"Really?"
"Of course, I can even tell you who Justin Xavier is, do you want to hear?"
Leah hesitated for a moment, "Is he by my side now?"
Serena curled her lips into a smile, "Yes, he’s always been here, never left."
"Then I don’t want to hear."
"Why? Leah, don’t you want to find Justin Xavier?"
"Yes, I want to find Justin Xavier by myself, not be told by you. I feel like I’ve forgotten many things, I want to find Justin Xavier and, along the way, recover my memories of him. Those silly grudges and loves, perhaps the joyful, painful, sad, sweet pasts, I want to remember them one by one."
Serena looked at the determined and brilliant light in Leah’s eyes and smiled, "Okay."
...
Leah had already gone to bed; Serena packed up her things and prepared her work notes. Tomorrow she would be leaving, officially returning to her post.
At that moment, her phone lit up. A call came in.
It was Justin Xavier calling.
Serena wasn’t surprised; this phone call was within her expectations.
"Hello, President Xavier." Serena pressed the button to answer the call.
Justin Xavier’s deep, magnetic voice quickly came through, "Has Leah fallen asleep?"
"Yes, she’s already asleep. President Xavier, you haven’t rested yet this late?"
"I’m downstairs at your place now."
Serena got up and walked to the window. She opened the curtain and saw a silver Maybach quietly parked outside the courtyard gate. Justin sat in the driver’s seat, one hand lightly on the steering wheel, the other holding the phone.
Justin Xavier had arrived.
"I heard you’re leaving tomorrow. There’s something I’d like to ask you to help with," Justin said softly.
"Please go ahead, President Xavier."
"Starting today, I won’t leave anymore. I’ll stay with Leah and the child. I wasn’t there during her first pregnancy; this time, I won’t let her be alone. But now, I don’t have an appropriate excuse to get close to her, and I’m afraid she might be wary of me, turning things counterproductive. I thought about it, and you could tell Leah you’re not assured about her, so you’ve found her a driver. You introduce the person; she’ll definitely feel at ease."
A driver?
The driver is Justin Xavier?
Alright... okay...
Serena knew Justin would come, not too early, not too late, just in time to take her place, offering Leah and the child permanent companionship.
Companionship is the longest confession of love.
When Leah was pregnant the first time, he wasn’t around.
Now that Leah is pregnant, he won’t leave again.
A woman being pregnant is like a brush with death; these ten months of pregnancy, he must be by her side.
"Okay," Serena nodded in agreement.
"Oh, and I’m not planning to use the name Justin Xavier anymore. From now on, call me... Diego."
Diego...
Awakening from a big dream, born for you.
Serena had heard Hayden say that after Leah left, Justin Xavier burned the Xavier family mansion to ashes.
Now Justin Xavier has crossed the seas and left that city behind, cutting off all the past, existing only for Leah.
Serena’s heart finally settled down. She curled her lips, "Okay, Diego."
...
The next morning.
Regarding the "driver" matter, Leah disagreed, "Serena, I appreciate your kindness, but I don’t want a driver. It feels weird being with a male driver."
Serena made an effort to reassure Leah, "Leah, you’re not alone now, you’re pregnant. Your belly will gradually grow bigger, and you won’t be able to move easily. While I’m not with you, you need to go to the hospital for check-ups and prenatal care every week. Travel will be an issue, and since you live alone, there will definitely be physical tasks, and light bulbs that need replacing and such. All these need a helping hand. I’m very familiar with this Diego, and he knows your brother well; he’s even your brother’s friend. With our absence, having him take care of you will give us peace of mind."
With Serena persuading so earnestly and even bringing up her brother, Leah felt a bit moved, "But, why does he want to be my driver?"
"Because... Diego’s family situation isn’t great; he urgently needs money. Your brother and I agreed to pay him a substantial salary. We’re all acquaintances, he does his best, and we provide the money; that’s the deal. So if you refuse, it would be embarrassing for both parties."
With Serena putting it that way, Leah bit her lip, "Alright then..."
Serena and her brother both had their own things to deal with, so accepting this driver Diego was like buying them some peace of mind.
"That’s great, Leah. Diego’s here now; let him take you to the hospital to set up your check-up card." Serena pushed Leah out.
The courtyard gate creaked open, and Leah immediately saw the tall, handsome figure outside. Justin Xavier had arrived early.
Today, Justin wore a black trench coat, with a handsome face sporting gold-rimmed glasses. He had been waiting for quite a while, elegantly and lazily leaning against the car with one hand in his pocket. At this moment, the brilliant morning light poured warmth all over him, making him impossible to ignore.
Him!
Leah immediately recognized Justin Xavier. So he was the friend of the brother Serena mentioned.
"Diego!" Serena called out.
Justin quickly raised his head and walked over, his gaze landing softly on Leah.
Leah waved her little hand and greeted, "Hi, hello."
"Hello," Justin replied.
Serena quickly said, "Leah, Diego is here to pick you up, you both hurry to the hospital. I need to leave too."
Justin very gentlemanly opened the car door for the passenger seat.
But Leah didn’t get in; she looked at the Maybach and then moved over to Serena, whispering, "Serena, driving a Maybach... this is what you mean by... not well-off?"
Um...
Serena awkwardly chuckled, "The Maybach isn’t his; it’s rented! Rented!"
"Oh." Leah nodded.
Serena breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that Leah believed her.
At this moment, Leah spoke again, "Serena, the watch on his wrist looks... expensive..."
"...Fake."
"But, the fabric he’s wearing seems costly too. If I’m not mistaken, it’s probably custom-made, and he carries himself with such poise and grace, looking very much like a wealthy person..." Leah looked increasingly suspicious.
"..." Serena realized she had been too careless; she should have told the wealthy Justin Xavier to keep a low profile in advance.
After all, Leah was born into high society, exposed to many luxury goods, and could easily discern wealth. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
But having the richest man in the city, Justin Xavier, pretend to be poor, that was indeed difficult.
