CHAPTER 959: CHAPTER 959: GO TAKE A SHOWER!

"Don’t." Leah Thorne swiftly dodged, not letting him kiss her.

Justin Xavier looked at her, his large hand weaving through her long hair, grasping the nape of her neck, exerting a slight force to make her raise her head, then lowered his gaze and kissed her.

Leah trembled as she was kissed by him in this forced posture of submission. Now her head was in his palm, he was in complete control of her, giving her no chance to refuse or escape.

After a while, when Leah felt her lips and tongue starting to numb, Justin Xavier released her, "Fairy Thorne, finish eating your Immortal Herbs."

"..." Leah picked up the small spoon and continued eating her vegetable and fruit salad.

Justin Xavier sat on the sofa, elegantly and casually crossing his long legs, holding a document in his hand, he looked down, "Do you like the doll Simon Ford gave you that much?"

Leah glanced at the doll beside her, she indeed liked this doll a lot, and since bringing it home, it hadn’t left her side.

"Yes, I really like it."

Justin Xavier didn’t look up, focused on the document, but his thin lips curved into a shallow arc, he said softly, "Girls who like dolls are little girls, Leah, you’ve passed the age of being a little girl, you should like jewels... diamonds now."

Despite the fact that the Pearl Nightingale diamonds he gave her didn’t receive such enthusiasm from her either.

Leah held the doll in her hands, raising her eyes coquettishly at the man on the sofa, "Why are you speaking in such a sarcastic tone, did my doll provoke you? I’m at my prime, everyone else calls me Miss Sister, but you, Uncle Xavier!"

Leah emphasized the term "Uncle Xavier" deliberately to provoke him.

Justin Xavier never thought he was old, but that little brat Simon Ford who came out of nowhere actually called him Uncle Xavier, it annoyed him, making him feel like an old cow eating young grass.

Justin Xavier gently lifted his eyelids, looked at Leah once, "Do you believe Uncle will properly handle you on the bed later?"

Yes.

Of course, she believed it.

Leah ignored him, continuing to eat her salad.

Just then, with a "ding", Leah’s phone rang, a WeChat message came through.

Leah opened WeChat to see a message from Simon Ford, proposing they meet for a meal the next day.

Leah wanted to refuse; she didn’t want to attend any social gatherings.

But then Simon added that his father wanted to meet her.

Leah paused, she was still young then, without much impression of Mr. Ford, but the Thorne and Ford families were said to be old family friends, did Mr. Ford want to say something to her?

Leah replied with a single word, "Okay."

At this moment, Justin Xavier’s deep, magnetic voice came to her ears, "Who sent you a WeChat, was it Simon Ford?"

Leah put her phone down, "Yes, Simon Ford invited me to a meal tomorrow."

"You agreed?"

"Why should I refuse?"

Justin Xavier didn’t look up, signed his name swiftly at the bottom of the document, his voice indifferent, "Leah Thorne, you know what I don’t like, so don’t provoke me, stay away from Simon Ford."

"The Ford family is now a leading financial giant. Mr. Ford is very discerning about his daughter-in-law’s choice. Although you once had an engagement with Simon Ford, it no longer counts. Mr. Ford won’t look favorably upon you, do you understand what I mean?"

If Justin Xavier hadn’t brought it up now, Leah would have forgotten that she had once been engaged to Simon Ford.

She had no romantic feelings for Simon. She was young when the engagement was set, so she never took it seriously.

Leah looked up at Justin Xavier, a lazy smile emerging from her red lips, "President Xavier, I don’t understand what you mean. Why wouldn’t Mr. Ford look favorably upon me?"

Justin Xavier paused while holding his pen, he raised his head and looked at Leah.

Their gazes met, and Leah’s smile grew wider, "Are you suggesting, President Xavier, that because I am your kept mistress in name as your sister, or because I can’t have children, I’m a flawed woman?"

Looking at the smile on her small face, Justin Xavier’s handsome face instantly turned cold.

Leah put down her small spoon, pushed away the vegetable and fruit salad, and hugged the doll, "President Xavier, rest assured, I have self-awareness, people like me wouldn’t be favored by good families."

Finishing her speech, Leah got up, "I’ll go take a shower."

She had to pass by his side to reach the bathroom, Justin Xavier suddenly reached out and grabbed her delicate, fair wrist.

Leah paused, stopping in her tracks, tilting her head in confusion at him, "President Xavier, do you have something to say? Oh, I get it, you’re upset because when you asked me to introduce you to Simon Ford today, I said you were my brother?"

"That was really unfortunate, President Xavier doesn’t plan to marry me; our relationship should be... kept in the dark, right? I would’ve liked to say I was your kept mistress, but I wasn’t authorized to, so I didn’t dare to say anything to anger you."

Justin Xavier’s handsome brow was covered with a layer of cold frost, he gazed at her silently.

Leah tried to pull away, "President Xavier, why won’t you let me go? Oh, I see, you want to take a couple’s bath with me?"

"Fine, no problem, taking a couple’s bath is part of my duties anyway, I’ll start undressing now."

Leah raised her other hand, beginning to undo the buttons on her clothes.

Taken aback, Justin Xavier growled every word with a low, aggressive voice, "Leah, don’t degrade yourself like this!"

"Am I not degraded enough already?" Leah smiled back, questioning him.

The atmosphere in the room froze, the temperature dropping to a low point.

Justin Xavier released his large hand, "Go take a bath, I don’t want to see you right now."

Leah walked off.

...

Leah took a hot bath and then went to bed, turning her back and curling up snugly in the duvet.

Soon, the duvet was lifted, and she was scooped up horizontally.

Leah opened her eyes, staring at the handsome face in her line of sight, Justin Xavier held her on the sofa, letting her rest in his strong arms.

He still looked displeased, a man always in a high position used to being worshipped, only she dared to anger him.

"Who said you could sleep?" he said, his voice deep with displeasure.

Leah was stunned for a few seconds, then raised both small hands to wrap around his neck, leaning in to kiss his thin lips.

But, Justin Xavier avoided her, not letting her kiss him.

Leah paused, since when did this carnivore start eating vegetarian?

Justin Xavier gazed at her, "What are you doing?"

"You... don’t want it? How do you want me to please you tonight?" Leah’s small hand restlessly slid down...

Justin Xavier quickly grabbed her small hand, preventing her from causing any trouble, "Not in the mood tonight, no sleeping, accompany me to look at the documents."
