Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1098: Daddy and Mommy Are So Embarrassing~
At this moment, Leah Thorne finally found herself.
Justin Xavier quickly stepped forward to her.
Along the way, he bumped into someone, and a passerby reproached, "Hey, what’s wrong with you, walking without watching?"
Justin Xavier didn’t stop, he didn’t even seem to have heard; his gaze and all the tenderness in his heart were for her.
He stepped forward, standing before her.
Slowly, he raised his hand to touch her face.
He wasn’t sure if this was a dream?
He wanted to verify her body warmth, only her warmth gave him a sense of security.
He touched her face; her warm, soft, smooth skin was warm.
Indeed, warm.
He curled his lips, gently smiled at her with deep affection, truly great.
She was back.
The scar on her right cheek had vanished, and at twenty-something, a woman’s best youth, she had rediscovered herself; her eyes were full of light.
Justin Xavier extended his strong arm and pulled her into his embrace, tightly, wishing he could merge her into his bones and blood, bury his head in her hair, greedily and devoutly inhaling her scent. He murmured in a scratchy voice, "Leah, I knew... you would definitely return." Leah Thorne curled her lips and softly said, "Justin Xavier, I told you, I would return."
"Have you settled your past?"
"Mm." Leah Thorne nodded.
"So... your future, can you entrust that to me?"
Leah Thorne nodded again, "Mm!"
Justin Xavier curved his lips.
Ooh ah ooh ah~
At this moment, the little voice echoed; it turned out the neglected Vivi was squeezed into a little meatball by daddy and mommy. She waved her tiny hands in protest, defiantly.
It’s said a daughter is daddy’s little sweetheart from a past life, yet my daddy loves mommy more~
Only then did Justin Xavier release Leah Thorne. He looked at little Vivi, a month has passed without seeing her, and she had grown a bit; her big bright eyes darted around, she was quite smart.
Now, little Vivi was moving her tiny arms and legs in mommy’s embrace, grinning at Justin Xavier, giggling, daddy, hug~
Justin Xavier quickly reached out and hugged little Vivi, giving her a big kiss on the cheek, "Vivi, daddy missed you~"
Giggle~
Little Vivi laughed joyfully.
...
Justin Xavier brought Leah Thorne officially back to Bayside, returning to the city full of memories.
The final box office of "Floating Life" broke the 6 billion mark, setting a new record in the entire history of box office success. Simultaneously, "Floating Life" received nominations for twelve awards including Best Actress, Best Director, Best Producer at the Golden Mountain, achieving a grand slam; it was momentarily unrivaled.
At just 26, Leah Thorne reached the pinnacle of her career, becoming the prime candidate for Best Actress at the Golden Mountain, with both popularity and strength soaring, becoming a sensation everywhere.
However, Leah Thorne did not make a comeback but rather stayed by her daughter Vivi’s side, dedicating her time to family.
The award ceremony is tomorrow. Tonight, Leah Thorne was playing with Vivi, "Vivi, say mommy~"
Vivi, with two little buns sprouting from her head, uttered in a tender voice, "Dad... daddy~"
Leah Thorne, "..."
At one year old, Vivi could start saying words but her first was daddy~
No matter how hard Leah Thorne tried, Vivi wouldn’t call mommy~
This made Leah Thorne both jealous and frustrated.
At this moment, the phone rang; it was a call from agent Madame Goldie.
Leah Thorne pressed to answer, "Hello, Madame Goldie."
"Leah, what are you doing now?"
"Playing with the baby~"
"Oh dear, my great star, Beauty Thorne, tomorrow is the award ceremony; if no surprises occur, the Golden Mountain Best Actress is definitely you. How are you not a bit excited or nervous? Now, shouldn’t you be obediently soaking in a milk rose petal bath, have a spa, take care of your face, and be in the best condition to overshadow everyone tomorrow?" Madame Goldie exclaimed emotionally.
Leah Thorne, "Well... I’d rather play with the baby~"
"..." Madame Goldie almost couldn’t catch her breath, forget it, tomorrow she would be the agent of the Golden Mountain Best Actress. Supporting her is doable; she was sure to take good care of this little lady, "Leah, the dress for tomorrow’s award ceremony has been delivered to your doorstep. You just need to attend on time."
Madame Goldie had no other demands, attend on time, that’s enough.
The call ended, the maid brought the dress over, "Madam, the outfit has been pressed ready. Should it be hung in the upstairs closet?"
"Mm, alright." Leah Thorne nodded.
Then, with a click, the villa door opened, the maid respectfully said, "Sir, you’re back?"
Little Vivi immediately turned her little head towards her daddy with a giggle, "Dad... daddy~"
Leah Thorne looked up; Justin Xavier was back.
Everyone’s life returned to its normal track; Justin Xavier’s routine shifted between work and home. He always returned early every day to be with her and the baby.
Leah Thorne put down Vivi, and Vivi scurried to Justin Xavier’s side, hugging his leg, looking up with a cheerful and sweet voice, "Dad... daddy..."
Justin Xavier’s heart melted; this hard-earned little life was growing resiliently day by day. He bent low, cuddling Vivi into his arms, "Vivi, did you miss daddy?"
"Mm, miss...miss very much~"
"Daddy missed Vivi too~"
Another round of sweet father-daughter talks.
Leah Thorne came over and took Justin Xavier’s briefcase, "Honey, shall we have dinner?"
"Sure."
The three members of the family headed to the dining room, suddenly Justin Xavier leaned close to Leah Thorne’s ear and said, "Guess what’s in my pocket?"
What?
Leah Thorne slipped her tiny hand into Justin Xavier’s pocket, finding there really was something inside.
It was a pair of pearl hairpins.
Mother-daughter matching styles.
One for her, one for Vivi.
Justin Xavier is inherently a very romantic and understanding man, who enjoys life and values quality. He often brings home gifts for Leah Thorne and Vivi, pearls, diamonds, agate; all things women cannot resist.
Leah Thorne wore one of the clips on her head and put one on Vivi too, feeling a bit worried, "Honey, although girls need to be nurtured generously, Vivi was growing up surrounded by pearls and diamonds, and you as her daddy are already pulling all the tricks those boyfriends might have in the future, making it really hard for those boys~"
Justin Xavier smiled, "But do you like it?"
"Oh yes, I do~"
"Is this how you express your liking?"
Under Justin Xavier’s ardent gaze, Leah Thorne tip-toed quickly to steal a kiss on his handsome cheek.
Mua~
Giggle giggle.
Little Vivi covered her little face with her hands, giggling in daddy’s arms, daddy and mommy so cheeky~
