Chapter 843


    Chapter 843 Leave Xavier Alone


    “I’m a human being made of flesh and bones. I have feelings just like any other normal human being.


    Do you know that? But why won’t you forget about Veronica even after all the things I did for you? I


    never turned my back on you, after all! Do you know how scared I was when Matthew died? When he


    was said to be dead, I was scared that you’d return to Veronica because you thought there was still


    hope. I’m sorry, Sebastian.


    I’m so sorry… I just love you too much!” As the daughter of the ck Ace Mob’s leader, Antheena was


    treated like a princess, as she was the apple of everyone’s eye. Nheless, out of all the people she


    could have settled down with, she chose Xavier and was forgiving enough to ept his past.


    While Antheena was known to be an indifferent woman who was elegant, calm, and smart, she was


    somehow attracted to Xavier’s secretive nature. In fact, she found the scar on the man’s face incredibly


    charming, as if it was a sign that showed how his age had made him mature and experienced.


    Because of that, she grew more and more obsessed with Xavier’s charming personality. As her


    obsession with the man grew stronger with time, she was even willing to abandon her pride for him,


    disregarding the unequal status between them.


    In the meantime, Xavier, who had just heard Antheena’s confession, shivered in his hand with the


    cigarette pinched between his fingers. Then, he leaned forward and stubbed the cigarette in the


    ashtray, whereupon he turned around and pinned Antheena on the couch, kissing her lips. In response


    to the man’s intimate advance, Antheena was still caught in a trance, unable to react to his unexpected


    reaction.


    After all, Xavier had been keeping a distance from her ever since both of them got married. Deep


    down, she could only remember the only intimate interaction they ever had, which was the kiss he


    nted on her forehead on their wedding day as a gesture of formality.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Still, much to her disappointment, they had never shared any other intimate moment since then.


    Therefore, Antheena was stunned yet excited about Xavier’s long overdue kiss, snapping out of her


    trance a few secondster before she responded by kissing his neck.


    As the amorous vibe in the room began to intensify, the man and the woman went on to share their


    first-ever intimacy, which finally made Antheena’s dreame true. While she thought her touching


    confession had finally moved Xavier and made him fall in love with her, she had no idea that he only


    made love with her because he couldn’t get over the disappointment that he felt for being lied to by


    Veronica. Therefore, when Antheena took pity on him, his rational mind was taken over by his


    sympathy, which prompted him to grant her wish out of pity.


    On the other hand, Veronica was able to walk like normal when Matthew carried her back to the room


    at One Piece Restaurant. Nevertheless, he continued to hold her hands tightly without letting them go.


    “Matt, I’ll be fine.”


    She shook off his hand and walked closer to the table to pour herself a ss of water. However,


    Matthew beat her to that and reached the kettle before she could before he proceeded to fill an empty


    ss with warm water.


    “Here. Drink some water.”


    “Okay.” Veronica raised her ss and started drinking, but her eyes were fixed on the mug on the table


    as if her soul had already left her body. Even after finishing the water inside the ss, she continued to


    mp its edge with her lips, as if she was still drinking without realizing that it was already empty.


    Meanwhile, Matthew was able to see through Veronica’s absent-mindedness, furrowing his eyebrows


    while asking, “Is Xavier really that important to you?” The man seemed to be jealous.


    It was then that Veronica snapped out of her trance and put down the ss in her hand. She then


    looked down and let out a sigh. “Well, I lied to him.”


    “So, if you were given a chance back then, would you have told him the truth?” Matthew asked.


    “I don’t know.” Veronica shook her head. Despite the bitter history between Matthew and Xavier, she


    was annoyed by the dilemma she found herself in. After all, she was caught in the middle between her


    beloved husband and the man to whom she was indebted. Oh, dear. What am I going to do?


    “I’m going out now. Take some rest.” Matthew turned around and made his way outside.


    Nevertheless, Veronica, who seemed panicky, sat bolt upright and seized Matthew’s arm. “Leave


    Xavier alone!” Thedy anxiously begged for mercy on Xavier’s behalf.


    “What did you just say?” Matthew stopped in his tracks and looked back, his face darkening a little.
