Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1068: Big Hand Holding Little Hand

The lead actress in the movie is very beautiful...

Leah Thorne’s heart skipped a beat; it was the first time she had heard Justin Xavier call a woman beautiful.

She was already a bit annoyed when he mentioned going on a cinema date with Nancy Warren, even though she wasn’t sure why. Now, hearing him say that the lead actress was beautiful made Leah’s face fall instantly.

"Really? How beautiful is this lead actress?" Leah turned to look at the polished car window where she saw her reflection.

Back when she was in the entertainment industry, she was always the pinnacle of beauty and known as the most stunning red rose. She hadn’t heard of any actress more beautiful than her.

However, she now had a scar on her right cheek, like a flawless piece of art tainted.

Although Leah seldom cared about this scar on her face, hearing Justin Xavier praise another woman’s beauty made her care again.

If she hadn’t been disfigured, who else could claim the title of "beautiful?"

Justin Xavier was driving, his voice low and magnetic, "That lead actress is a big star, starring in a movie premiering today. As for her beauty... she is naturally... the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen."

Leah’s delicate fingers twisted the hem of her dress. Hearing him say, "She is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen," her fingers froze suddenly, and she felt a pang of jealousy, as if a jar of vinegar had shattered inside her!

Leah turned her head and glared fiercely at Justin Xavier, "Shallow! Diego, turns out you’re such a shallow person!"

Justin Xavier smirked, "How am I shallow?"

"You judge a woman just by her looks? What good is beauty, you can’t even tell if it’s all-natural, and even if it is, without substance, she’s just a vase!" Leah gritted her teeth.

Seeing her flustered reaction, the affection in Justin Xavier’s handsome eyes deepened, "You say that now, but when you see her later, you will surely praise her beauty willingly."

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

When it comes to talent, she might not be as ingenious as Serena Sterling, or as brave as Tanya Sullivan, but beauty was her forte.

Leah huffed, "I’ll be looking forward to it then. Let’s see just how beautiful the woman you’ve seen turns out to be!"

If that woman wasn’t pretty, she would definitely laugh at him for being... inexperienced!

...

Inside the cinema.

Leah didn’t forget the main task and tiptoed to look around, "Huh, strange, why isn’t Nancy Warren here yet?"

Justin Xavier had arranged to watch a movie with Nancy, she should be arriving at rocket speed.

"She’ll be here soon. I’ll go buy the tickets; you sit here and don’t wander off." Justin Xavier sat her on a chair in the waiting area, placed a baseball cap on her head, and covered her with a mask.

Now, only her eyes were visible, but her eyes were so beautiful, sparkling as if they could hook anyone.

Justin Xavier was not satisfied and pressed the hat tighter, wanting to hide her completely.

Leah let him do as he pleased and obediently sat on the chair, "Go ahead, I won’t wander, I’ll wait here for you."

She dared not wander; there were so many people, and she had no idea what movie premiered today, making the theater jam-packed with people.

Justin Xavier went to buy the tickets.

Leah’s gaze followed him tightly. Amidst the crowded people, he stood out, his naturally handsome and extraordinary demeanor, coupled with a hint of aloof restraint, instantly attracted many young girls’ attention.

Next to Leah, there was a couple. The girl looked at Justin Xavier with sparkling eyes, "Wow, look at that guy, he’s so handsome."

The girl’s boyfriend was not happy at once, "He’s handsome, but what about me? I ask you, is he more handsome than me?"

The girl said, "Of course... he is."

The boyfriend got angry and got up suddenly, "Then go watch the movie with him, I’m leaving."

The girl quickly chased after him, "Hey, don’t go, wait for me..."

Watching the arguing couple disappear from view, Leah sighed, this Diego was truly a troublemaker.

Soon Justin Xavier returned, holding two movie tickets and a tub of popcorn.

Leah was surprised. She found it odd that someone like Justin Xavier would queue for movie tickets on his own, let alone buy popcorn.

"You bought popcorn?"

"You don’t want any?" Justin Xavier handed her the popcorn.

Leah shook her head, "You bought this popcorn for Nancy Warren, right? I won’t eat anything meant for Nancy Warren."

He really went all out, buying popcorn for a movie date, treating Nancy Warren like he couldn’t impress her enough?

Justin Xavier found it amusing but didn’t say anything, instead, extending his large hand to hold her small one, "Let’s go watch the movie."

"Let go of my hand! I don’t need you holding my hand!" Leah wanted to withdraw her hand instantly. This man... how could he so casually hold a girl’s hand...?

"There are lots of people, stop fussing!" Justin Xavier not only didn’t loosen his grip, but pulled her soft-as-boneless hand more snugly into his palm.

The ticket checking had started, and there truly were so many people; Leah was worried someone might bump into her stomach, so she didn’t dare to act up.

Seeing her small hand wrapped in his palm, an unprecedented sense of security and sweetness spread through her heart. She lowered her head, and a smile played at the corner of her red lips.

...

In the movie theater, Leah whispered to Justin Xavier, "Diego, what’s up with Nancy Warren? Why hasn’t she shown up yet?"

Justin Xavier showed no expression, "She won’t be coming."

"What? Then what about Fanny? I want to go back." Leah rose to leave.

"Fanny is already home safely."

"Huh? Really?" Leah was a little skeptical.

"Of course, it’s true." Justin Xavier held her by the nape and turned her attention to the screen, "Don’t you want to see the most beautiful woman I talked about? Leah, you aren’t trying to escape by making excuses, are you?"

Afraid?

What a joke!

Prodded by such a challenge, Leah sat up straight, "All right, let’s see if she really looks like a Celestial Beauty!"

At that moment, the movie began, and Leah saw the title "A Floating Life."

Leah froze instantly.

"A Floating Life" was a movie she starred in, also her last piece of work before she retired. This work had accompanied her through all life’s sorrows and joys, and at some unknown time, it appeared on screen, for everyone to witness.

Today, everyone came for her.
