Rewriting the love story after traveling into the novel novel Chapter 183

Chapter 183 Brother and Sister–in–Law

Xavier nodded, looking like he was ready to change his ways.

next time. So should we talk outside?”

Got it 111 watch mys

“Talk about what? There’s nothing to talk about. I’m going to bedr

“I don’t think you’re sleeping that early tonight. We could get some exercise–it helps with sleep

Becky was speechless.

“I told you to stop talking and you’re still talking.”

Xavier put on an innocent face

“Didn’t I change the wording! 1 said exercise. If anyone hears, they’ll just think we’re going for a run.”

Becky stared at him.

Did he really think people were that dumb? Who wouldn’t get it?

She shoved Xavier out of the house and slammed the door shut behind him with a loud bang, locking it.

Across the wrought–iron door, Xavier stood with one hand in his pocket, smiling like a spring breeze.

“If you’re embarrassed to sleep here, you can come to my place. No one else is there.”

Finished

Becky stared at him for a long time before saying, “Xavier, I was practically your little sister back then. How can you say this kind of stuff without batting an eye?”

“Becky, you’re being unreasonable. Double standards much? Why can you say it but I can’t? You can do it but I can’t?”

Becky couldn’t argue with that.

She was the one who brought up ‘just sleeping.

She cleared her throat and darted her eyes away. “Just don’t keep bringing it up. If… if I feel like it, I’ll let you know.”

Xavier looked at her with a smile. “Okay. In person, by phone, WhatsApp–anytime, I’m on call.”

Even though she was the one who brought it up, Becky couldn’t shake the feeling she’d been conned.

For the next two days, Xavier came over to Becky’s place for dinner.

She couldn’t understand why he didn’t just bring over a few maids from Westview Pavilion or go back to live there himself

Instead he showed up every day, eating and drinking like he lived there.

Maybe because he noticed her growing dissatisfaction, Xavier sent her a million

“For meals”

That actually reminded Becky–she still needed to return that hundred million.

She was holding James at the time and handed him to Abigail before pulling out her phone

“hend me your account info

Juvier paused.

To return that hundred million”

“That was a gift”

“I don’t want it.”

“Why not?”

“You’re not anything to me. Why would I take your money?”

Especially a hundred million. That was ridiculous.

If Lilian found out, she’d probably faint from the heartache.

Xavier frowned slightly and looked at her with serious eyes.

“We’re in an intimate relationship. Giving you money is normal. Just accept it.

Becky said, “No, we’re not that close. It’s just that kind of thing.”

With the servants nearby, she was vague.

To put it bluntly, they were hookup buddies. And not even sleeping together yet..

Of course Xavier understood what she meant. But he wasn’t going to take the money back.

✰ Finished

“Don’t return it. Just consider it for James. He’s my son. A hundred million is nothing–I’d give him the whole company if he wanted

That was the only angle Xavier could work with, since Becky was drawing such a hard line. He had to use their stinky son as leverage.

Becky thought about it. It did make sense. James was Xavier’s kid. He had inheritance rights. It wasn’t unreasonable for Xavier to give him some money.

“Fine. I won’t return it. I’ll save it for James so he can use it to get married one day”

She hadn’t touched that ten million Brendon gave her either.

Xavier coughed hard twice, giving her a weird look.

“His old man hasn’t even gotten married yet. Don’t you think you’re jumping the gun?”

Becky didn’t catch his implication.

“You don’t get it. As parents, we have to plan for our child’s future early. The more money we stash away, the more girls will fight to marry into our family”

Xavier stared at her Tve got a decent fortune myself”

Becky didn’t notice has look. She got up to pick James up again.

Xavier was completely ignored, and the warmth in his heart got doused on the spot.

Lilian pulled Yulu aside. “Come on let’s go check on your brother I don’t know if his injuries have healed yet. He went on

after, didn’t even rest. When I asked over the holidays, he brushed it off. I told him to move back home sa

I said take care of him, but he wouldn’t I’m really worried. We have to go see him”

Vala had objection

They tuned so they’d arrive at Westview Pavilion around duner

but the big villa was quiet and cold with only a few servants around

Chapter 183 Brother and Sister–in–Law

Lilian frowned, “Why hasn’t anyone started dinner?”

One of the servants stepped forward. “Sir said he wouldn’t be back for dinner.”

Lihan looked even more worried.

“Has he been skipping dinner a lot lately?”

“Sir hasn’t stayed here for the past few days.

“He hasn’t Then where is he staying?”

The servant shook her head.

Yulia said, “Mom, he has plenty of houses. Maybe he’s staying in one of the others.”
