He took another puff on his cigarette and gritted his teeth at the night skies. “Rachel… Where the hell are you… I miss you so much!”Buzz buzz buzz…Right at that moment, his phone vibrated again. Seeing Jean Hanson’s name on the screen, he sprang from the couch and answered the call right away. “Jean, is there any update about Rachel?”“Master Sebastian, I just found out that Miss Rachel has gone back to her hometown, Edgewater.” “Address. Give me her address now!”“I’ll send it to you on WeChat.”***Sebastian Brenand received the address from Jean within a second or two. Without hesitation, he took his private plane and flew to Edgewater.It was four o’clock in the morning when he arrived at her hometown. As soon as the plane landed, he rented a car at the airport and sped right to Rachel Wood’s house like a brat losing his mind. Rachel’s house was located in an ordinary neighborhood in the district. There was no one guarding the neighborhood. People could just w

Joy, grief, confusion, and bitterness. All kinds of feelings intertwined in an inextricable mass, stabbing at her heart mercilessly. Never in her life had she imagined that Sebastian Brenand would appear in her life again. For a moment, she did not know how to react to his arrival. Her feet were glued to the ground, unmovable. Their eyes met through the piece of black glass. This one glance seemed to last forever. Sebastian could not wait anymore. He immediately opened the car door and walked up to her. Rachel Wood started losing strength in her arms.In the next second, the garbage bag fell from her loosened grip to the ground. The garbage bag hit her foot, and only then did she come back to her senses. “Ra… Rachel… You… How are you?” Sebastian pulled her into his arms, agitatedly. “I have finally found you… Do you know how much I missed you when you were not around?” Sebastian was speaking incoherently out of excitement. His words were as unexpected as his arriva

She could not do that… She really could not do that!Sebastian Brenand was still gazing at the tightly closed door downstairs. His heart was empty once more. On the way here, he had imagined many scenarios of himself and Rachel Wood meeting in his head. He thought that she would come back to him as long as he admitted his mistakes. Unexpectedly, she rejected him without even thinking about it. Her tears told him that she still loved him. So, why did she reject him if she loved him? Was it because she did not trust him anymore?No matter what the reason was, he was not going to give up so easily. Suddenly, a resident came out of the building. Immediately, he charged at the main entrance and ran upstairs. He ran straight up to Rachel’s house. Noticing there was no doorbell, he quickly knocked on the door. In the living room, Rachel curled up on the couch and cried in despair. When she heard the knocking on the door, she instantly knew who was standing out there.

“There’s some trouble with the branch office in Country Y. I have to go there.” Stanley Batton’s voice was steady, and his eyes only expressed calmness. “What happened?” Xyla Quest’s chest was heavy. “One of the phone models exploded.” Upon hearing that, Xyla shuddered instantaneously. “What?”If the accident went viral, it would be the end of the brand and the company.“Don’t worry. I’ll go there to find out the cause and solve the matter. The accident is suppressed so far. Nobody will make a big deal about it,” Stanley explained. “Hurry up then. I’ll help you to pack your luggage.” Following that statement, Xyla moved her weak body to the edge of the bed. Nonetheless, as soon as she got up, the man lunged forward and pulled her back to the bed again. He wrapped his long arms around her and gently kissed her forehead. “Forget it. Look at yourself. Get some rest, okay? I’ll do it myself.” “Hey, I can do it…” Xyla was not convinced. “I won’t let you do it anyway,” he spo

“When I saw the lovey-dovey clip of him and his wife on Weibo yesterday, I thought it was just a deliberate attempt to build a good self-image.”“Same here. I totally didn’t expect them to be so sweet in real life. I’m stunned.” “That girl is my life goal, man…”***When Xyla Quest returned to the airport terminal, she heard a bunch of girls screaming frantically. “Josh Batton!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!”“Brother Joshhhhhh!!! I love you!!!”“My boy! Mommy loves you!!!”The screams pierced through her eardrums, sending a prickle down her spine. Xyla subconsciously glanced in the direction where the irritating noises came from, and she was surprised to find a huge crowd. There were at least thousands of people in the distance. She could not even see where Josh Batton was. All that came into her view were the frenzied looks of Josh’s fans. All of them were so excited as if they were celebrating the New Year. Their faces and necks turned cherry red as they shouted at their beloved

Although the two of them only had a few words, all the fans were angry with the way Josh Batton treated Xyla Quest. They had been supporting and fangirling Josh for so long, but they never got a chance to speak to him. Conversely, Josh was always so nice to Xyla. He even took the initiative to walk up to her just now. Even if the fans understood that they were just friends, they could not help but feel envious and upset whenever they saw the two’s interaction. A nanny car was already waiting for Josh outside the airport. The bodyguards quickly opened up a path for Josh and escorted him to the car. After Josh got into the car, the bodyguards immediately hopped in after him and shut the door. However, the fans had no intention to leave despite the fact that their idol was already out of sight. The vast group of girls gathered outside the nanny car. Fortunately, all of them formed an orderly queue beside the car to not block the traffic. Once again, the girls cried at the
