Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1063: I’ll Take Care of You from Now On!
Leah Thorne and the aunties all turned into children admitting their mistakes and apologizing in front of Justin Xavier.
Justin Xavier finally withdrew his gaze. He picked Leah Thorne up horizontally and turned to walk into the yard.
Suddenly lifted into the air, Leah Thorne was so frightened that she wrapped her small hands around his neck. Realizing it wasn’t right, she quickly withdrew her hands. "Diego, put me down quickly!"
"Don’t move around!" Justin Xavier said in a deep voice.
Leah Thorne blinked her feather-like eyelashes. Was this driver... scolding her? "Are you scolding me?"
Justin Xavier glanced down at her. She was looking up at him with her soft and charming watery eyes, confused and shocked, with a bit of grievance and accusation in her cute and dazed expression.
Justin Xavier realized his mood wasn’t great and that he might have sounded like he was scolding her. He quickly softened his tone, "No, I wasn’t scolding you."
"You’re lying! Then smile for me!" Leah Thorne wanted him to smile.
Justin Xavier had no choice but to pull his thin lips into a very reluctant smile.
Only then did Leah Thorne let it go, "You should smile more in the future because you look scary when you don’t smile."
"In the future, you also need to be more careful and not run into crowded places. What if I hadn’t arrived in time and you really fell just now?"
Just thinking about how she almost tripped earlier still made his heart race. He had only been away for a short while, and she was already getting into trouble.
In truth, Leah Thorne was also quite scared. Knowing she was in the wrong, she muttered softly, "I almost tripped because of you."
"Because of me?"
"Yes." Leah Thorne looked at his refined yet cold handsome face, a face that could captivate anyone. "Congratulations, those aunties just now were proposing to you. Among them were many young maidens for you to choose from, and there were also wealthy heiresses wanting you to become a live-in son-in-law. I’m guessing some even want to keep you as a pretty boy. Diego, you’re quite the lady-killer now."
As for romantic entanglements, they were always around Justin Xavier, so he wasn’t surprised. His handsome face remained calm, "I’m not interested in them."
As he spoke, he gently placed Leah Thorne on the sofa, "Are you hungry? I’ll make you breakfast."
Justin Xavier went into the kitchen, and Leah Thorne suspiciously watched his back. He hadn’t even looked at those girls, so how could he say he wasn’t interested?
Out of ten men, nine are likely to be philanderers, and the one who isn’t is abnormal.
Leah Thorne got up and walked to the kitchen door, watching Justin Xavier inside. "Diego, you’re just my driver, not a chef. There’s a housekeeper who will come to make breakfast for me."
"Do you like the breakfast she makes?" Justin Xavier asked indifferently.
Leah Thorne paused. Last night, she tasted the housekeeper’s cooking. It was decent, but not to her liking, so she ate very little for dinner.
How did he know?
Of course, Justin Xavier knew. In the first three months of her pregnancy, he was the one cooking for her. He had gotten a complete grasp of her taste preferences.
Originally only knowing how to cook simple noodles, Justin Xavier had become a master capable of whipping up various dishes, making Leah Thorne’s taste increasingly picky.
At this moment, Leah Thorne caught a whiff of a delicious aroma. It turned out Justin Xavier had simply fried some eggs and sprinkled a bit of garlic leaves on top, making the fragrance instantly burst forth.
Leah Thorne was almost drooling. It smelled so good.
Now that the cold winter had passed, the warm spring had come. Today, Justin Xavier wore a black shirt. The shirt wasn’t tucked into the belt, hanging casually over black trousers, accentuating his tall and handsome figure, his face as beautiful as a jade crown. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Moreover, a man who knows how to cook is the most attractive. This alone added considerable charm to him.
Leah Thorne’s shiny eyes darted around Justin Xavier. This man was handsome, had a good temperament, and could cook. He was truly outstanding, except... he had no money. Otherwise, he would be perfect.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, Justin Xavier suddenly turned around to look at her.
Leah Thorne felt a bit embarrassed. It seemed like she’d been staring at him for quite a while...
Ahem.
Leah Thorne quickly cleared her throat to cover her embarrassment, stepping forward. "Is breakfast ready? I’m a bit hungry."
"Almost, try this piece of luncheon meat." Justin Xavier offered a piece of luncheon meat to her lips.
It smelled so good.
Leah Thorne quickly took a bite, but it was too hot. She jumped up at once, "It’s hot, it’s hot."
"Eat slowly, no one’s snatching it from you. Drink some water." Justin Xavier handed over a glass of warm water and patted her back.
Leah Thorne just felt... this driver was very gentle.
It seemed she had found another good quality about him, and her snow-white little earlobe started to burn. She turned and ran away.
...
After breakfast, Justin Xavier washed the dishes. Then, he told Leah Thorne, "I need to go out to handle something and will be back in the afternoon. Stay at home during this time, don’t go out. Call me if anything happens, okay?"
"Okay." Leah Thorne nodded obediently.
Justin Xavier patted her head and then left.
Only when Leah Thorne watched him disappear from her sight did she realize their dynamic was starting to twist. He seemed like a strong, controlling husband, and she was the obedient and docile little wife.
What the heck is this?
Leah Thorne obediently stayed home, playing until the afternoon. As it got darker, Justin Xavier still hadn’t returned.
Didn’t he say he’d be back in the afternoon? Now it’s almost evening!
Leah Thorne thought this driver seemed to be busier than those corporate bigshots!
She opened the front door and walked out, scanning the surroundings. Soon, she spotted the familiar Maybach in the alley ahead—it was Justin Xavier’s car.
Justin Xavier has returned.
He’s back!
Leah Thorne’s lips curled up, and that’s when she heard the chattering around her. Glancing back, she saw a bunch of girls hiding there, excitedly watching Justin Xavier as he got out of the driver’s seat.
"Look, that’s him, that’s Diego."
"Wow, he’s really handsome. So handsome!"
"I really want to date him..."
The girls’ faces were flushed, as if they were about to faint from Justin Xavier’s charm.
Justin Xavier, having come from a big city as the young richest man, suddenly arrived in this small, idyllic place. His allure to these girls was undeniable.
Justin Xavier had already spotted Leah Thorne and immediately strode towards her.
But just then, a chubby girl suddenly ran over and blocked Justin Xavier’s way.
"Are you the driver Diego? Stop being a driver and be my boyfriend. I’ll take care of you!" The chubby girl said boldly.
