Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 872: Stay Away From Me, Don’t Provoke Me Again
Leah Thorne was really biting him, wanting to take a chunk out of him, but who would have thought his deep and sexy voice would echo in her ears, and then he collapsed onto her.
Leah let go, her mind exploding in that instant, he... he actually...
Feeling the stiffness of the girl beneath him, Justin Xavier clasped the back of her head with his large hand, his thin lips landing strongly on her scent-laden hair. He closed his handsome eyes and breathed heavily, apologizing to her in a soft tone, "Sorry, I couldn’t control myself... Leah, don’t be afraid..."
Leah’s face went pale, and after a few seconds of silence, she raised her hand to push him, "Get off, you’re so heavy, you’re going to crush me!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Justin propped himself up slightly on either side of her, his gaze dark and heated as he stared directly at her, openly displaying his affection and infatuation.
Leah averted her gaze, knowing that in this state, Justin, though silent, was already itching to go at it again.
All she did was give him a bite, and he reacted so strongly, it appears he really had been holding back and was all pent up.
"Did you dirty my dress?" she asked.
Justin glanced downward, he was a bit of a mess with his clothes soaked, but she was fine and not dirty.
"No..."
"How can that be? Justin Xavier, you got your filthy stuff on my dress, you’ve dirtied my dress." Leah said with a wrinkled brow.
Justin looked at her in her stubborn state and pressed his thin lips together, "Stop arguing, I’ll get you a new dress, if one isn’t enough, I’ll get you ten, how about that?"
"That’s not good. This new dress of mine is the latest Chanel runway model, I’m the first to wear it in the country, I just wore it today, I only want this one, I don’t want the others!"
Seeing that no matter how hard he tried to appease her it wasn’t working, Justin knew she was deliberately making it hard for him. Feeling sticky and uncomfortable, he said, "Leah, let me take you for a bath."
Leah looked at him, "Justin Xavier, you want to go too far again, if you take me for a bath, can I come out of your bathroom all intact?"
Justin was momentarily speechless, this time not refuting. He was never known as a good guy; if he took her for a bath, something would definitely happen.
Leah pushed him away strongly, then got up from the bed herself.
Justin sat on the edge of the bed watching her, she lazily arranged her skirt, perhaps disliking the smell he left on it, wrinkling her delicate brow, before lifting her slender fingers to pick up her white sweater, putting it on, "President Xavier, I’m leaving now. I threw that photo into the trash, so don’t ask me for it. Earlier, in your enjoyable moment, consider it my repayment to you."
With that, Leah turned and left.
"Leah." Justin suddenly spoke up.
Leah paused her steps.
"Leah, from now on don’t present yourself before me. I’ve been doing well recently, without you, they can all be your substitutes, without them, that would be you. So, stay far away from me, don’t provoke me again."
His hoarse voice echoed to every corner of the room, clearly a warning, yet so deeply emotional. Leah showed no expression, holding her bag and left.
...
Leah walked out of The Louis Estate, stepping onto the street outside. A cold wind blew, making her feel chilly, so she hugged herself with her slender arms.
"Please give me some food... I beg you... please give me some food..."
Leah looked up, seeing an old woman with white hair kneeling at the street corner ahead, begging. The old woman shivered all over from the cold, non-stop kowtowing, looking extremely pitiful.
Leah walked over, took out a red Mao Zedong bill from her bag, and handed it to the old woman.
The old woman stared at the bill in surprise, then kept kowtowing, "Thank you, kind-hearted person... thank you so much..."
At that moment, the old woman looked up at Leah, and just one glance made her body freeze, "You... you are..."
Leah shuddered as she felt this old woman seemed very familiar, like someone from her childhood memory.
"Nanny Diaz? Is... is that you?" Leah asked uncertainly.
Nanny Diaz quickly grasped Leah’s small hands, "Miss... it’s really you, earlier I didn’t dare to recognize you, you really are my young lady!"
Nanny Diaz used to be with the Thorne family, she was Leah’s nursemaid. Back then, the Thorne family was a prestigious family, and Nanny Diaz in Leah’s memory was very healthy and plump, always with a smile on her face. Later, the Thorne family was ruined overnight, and all the servants were dismissed, Nanny Diaz also disappeared without a trace.
Leah didn’t expect to see Nanny Diaz here, now looking so pitiful and frail, like any old woman.
Leah squatted down, holding Nanny Diaz’s hand in return. She was too young back then, everyone around her disappeared overnight, and she always thought it was very strange, "Nanny Diaz, what exactly happened back then, where did all of you go, how did things end up like this?"
Tears flooded Nanny Diaz’s eyes, carving into the lines on her face, "Miss, Mr. Thorne and Madam were so good to us, when the Thorne family had trouble, you were so young, none of us wanted to leave, but someone drove us out, forcing us to wander everywhere, reduced to such a plight!"
What?
When the Thorne family was in trouble, someone intervened behind the scenes?
"Who? Nanny Diaz, who was this person?"
"It was... the Xavier family!" Mentioning the Xavier family, a look of hatred appeared in Nanny Diaz’s eyes.
The Xavier family...
Hearing these words, Leah’s mind went blank with a "buzz," it was like she couldn’t think anymore, she didn’t understand what Nanny Diaz was talking about.
All she knew was that when her family was destroyed, the Xavier family took her in and raised her, the Thorne family and the Xavier family had a strong friendship.
"Miss, you probably didn’t know. That car accident that took Mr. Thorne and Madam was not an accident, but man-made. I was at the scene, I overheard the investigators saying Mr. and Madam’s car had brake failure, the car was tampered with in advance, causing the accident."
"Later... later, I saw Old Master Xavier and Hugh Xavier come, I don’t know what they said, but that car accident was then defined as an accident and settled without further inquiry."
"Oh, and Miss, and your brother, your brother who was such an outstanding person, when the family was in trouble, your brother personally flew back overnight from the highest command in FUI, but on the way, your brother suddenly disappeared, vanished overnight."
"Miss, back then I just wanted to tell you, this is all a conspiracy, a vast conspiracy targeting the Thorne family, they murdered your daddy, your mommy, your dear brother, there was no accident, it was all murder, the mastermind behind all this was the Xavier family, it was the Xavier family that caused your family to fall apart, Miss!"
