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
The fifth hot topic showed #Xyla Quest and Josh Batton Airport#. Helplessness crept over Xyla Quest when she saw the hot topic. Her name had appeared on the trending list too often recently.

The netizens seemed to have ‘booked’ a spot for her on the trending list.Tapping the hot topic, the first thing that came into her sight was a close-up video of her and Josh Batton talking face to face. The video was shot on their side. The camera had perfectly captured both of their delicate side faces. Even their gazes on each other could be clearly seen. The comment section below the post had already hit one million comments. “Look at the doting gaze Josh had for Xyla! I hope they get togeth
A notification popped up on the screen. Cloud Piercer had sent her a message on WeChat. “Wifey, will you be online tonight? I’ve cleared all the daily tasks for you. Do you want to go to the dungeon with me tonight?” Georgie Clementine’s expressionless face instantly faded away and was replaced by a genuine smile. She quickly tucked the folders under her arm and replied to his message. “Sure.”Love…She might have met her love. In fact, it was cyber love. She did not have the slightest idea how the guy looked like or what he did for a living. She heard that he ran a company, and that was all she knew. The two of them had been playing games together every day recently, and her fondness for him only grew stronger and stronger as time went by.In Georgie’s imagination, Cloud Piercer was a smart, dependable, and assertive gentleman.***Meanwhile, there was an air of gloom and resentment hanging over the Sullivan family’s house. Emily Quest was currently sitting on the e
Just now, he had tried to knock on the door once more, but she ignored him. Nevertheless, he was not going to give up so easily. He must bring Rachel Wood back to Atlantis no matter what the cost. Gazing at the black car downstairs, Rachel’s heart was slowly torn to pieces. Buzz buzz buzz… Rachel’s phone vibrated. She had never seen this number before. She hesitated for a moment before answering the call. “Rachel! It’s me, Natalie. You still remember me, right?” A familiar voice rang in her ear, reminding her of the memories back in high school. Natalie Fisher, a girl who sat next to her in ninth grade. “How did you get my number?” Rachel asked. “I went to hospital today and met your mom. Your mom gave it to me. Speaking of which, our classmates are having a gathering tonight. Do you want to join us?” Natalie continued, “We haven’t seen you for years. Don’t tell me you can’t make it, okay? I won’t buy that. If you say ‘no’, we’re going to crash your house and pick y
