CHAPTER 968: CHAPTER 968: AREN’T YOU JUST SPENDING MY MONEY TO KEEP ME?

Looking into Leah Thorne’s clean and bright eyes, Simon Ford felt both pain and tenderness in his heart, thinking that he was ultimately too late.

In love, being one step too late is a lifetime.

Over the years, she had grown up by Justin Xavier’s side. During her loneliest and most helpless times, Justin was her only lifeline. Justin gave her warmth and companionship that others could never provide, and also unforgettable love and pain. Justin has already become irreplaceable in her life.

Simon Ford conceded, nodding, "Alright, Leah, I’ll listen to you."

Leah curved her red lips and waved her little hand, "Simon Ford, I’m leaving, bye bye."

Leah turned to leave.

As soon as she turned, she saw Justin Xavier who had chased after her, looking right at her.

Leah walked over, placing her slightly cool little hand into his palm, "Let’s go back."

Justin Xavier draped his coat over her shoulders and then, holding her little hand, entered the hotel.

...

In the hotel corridor, Justin Xavier still didn’t look very pleased as he pursed his lips and asked, "What did you say to Simon Ford just now?"

"I said... you forced me to be with you," Leah replied.

Justin remained calm, "Oh, so do you want Simon Ford to be your hero riding on a rainbow cloud to save you?"

Leah heard the disdain in his words; he didn’t see Simon Ford as a worthy opponent at all, "President Xavier, don’t underestimate the poor youth. In a few years, when Simon Ford reaches your age, he might not be any worse than you!"

Justin Xavier glanced at her indifferently and said nothing, clearly unwilling to engage further.

The two returned to the presidential suite, and Leah curiously asked, "President Xavier, who was the one telling me not to come back if I left? Why then did you come to find me? It seems President Xavier truly enjoys contradicting himself."

Justin Xavier looked at her proud expression, like a little peacock spreading its feathers, and stepped forward, "You can be proud all you want."

His large hand fell on her soft waist and he lifted her up onto his shoulder, "Join me for a bath."

Join him for a bath?

"No! Justin Xavier, I’ve already washed, put me down!" Leah struggled hard, now suspended in the air, her soft abdomen pressed painfully against his solid shoulder.

Justin Xavier kicked open the shower door and set her down inside, "Shower together or bathe together, choose one."

"Neither!" Leah refused.

"Fine, then a shower," Justin Xavier held her soft waist, half-pushed and half-carried her into the frosted glass door, then reached up to turn on the shower.

The warm water poured down from above, turning Leah into a drenched kitten; she still wanted to run.

But Justin Xavier grabbed her, turned her around, pressing her against the wall, and slapped her on the rear.

Hiss.

The pain brought tears to Leah’s eyes, and her delicate face flushed with humiliation, "Justin Xavier, why do you like hitting my butt? I’m not a child. Are you a pervert or into SM?"

Every time she was alone with Justin, Leah felt he was terrifying. Even something like spanking was one thing, but to make her bend over was a very shameful posture.

Justin Xavier hugged her from behind, his thin lips landing on her long hair, kissing it forcefully, "So you can show off, go flaunt outside, no matter how much those men like you, aren’t you still in my room, with your clothes off, being kissed and pressed by me, spending my money, sleeping in my bed, supported by me?"

"..." Leah realized he was in a bad mood, and that’s why he was angry at her.

This man really was narrow-minded, vindictive; every time he caught her with another man, he’d first deal with them, then turn back to punish her severely.

At this moment, the chill touched her skin as he stripped her of her nightgown.

Leah’s eyelashes fluttered, she dared not confront him head-on at this time, fearing it would be like the last time with President Stone, she softened her voice, twisting her snake-like waist, "President Xavier, let go of me first, I’ve already entered your room, I’ll definitely listen to you. What method do you want this time..."

Before she finished, Justin Xavier pinched her soft waist, preventing her from moving, his heavy breaths washing over her ear, he spoke hoarsely, "No method needed, just stay like this, I’ll do it myself..."

Leah realized what he intended to do and quickly clamped down on his large hand, "No, it hurts."

"I know my limits."

"Then at least... prepare some contraceptives, don’t do it inside!"

Justin Xavier chuckled lowly, "Playing with me? You can’t conceive, what do I need contraceptives for?"

Leah froze, then fiercely struggled a few seconds later, "No, Justin Xavier, you must use contraceptives, even if you don’t, I’ll take a pill afterwards, contraceptive pills are very harmful to the body."

Justin Xavier slightly furrowed his brows, his long arm restraining the restless woman in his arms, "Leah Thorne, do you have a problem in your head, why take contraceptives when you can’t conceive, don’t ruin my mood at this point, okay?"

Leah’s pupils contracted and expanded, unable to break free from the man, she lowered her head, and bit down hard on Justin Xavier’s arm.

Justin Xavier winced in pain, her bite was fierce, even drawing blood.

His handsome face clouded over; he was always assertive in these matters, needing to fully enjoy himself, and her behavior only angered him further.

Justin Xavier grabbed her small face, forcing her to let go, revealing a deep, exquisite bite mark on his arm, with blood seeping out.

Justin was infuriated; although he disliked children and had no plans for them, every time he touched her, she’d start fussing about contraceptives and pills, seemingly terrified of conceiving his child, which filled his chest with a gloomy anger.

"Leah Thorne, you brought this on yourself, let’s see if I can’t leave my mark in you today!" Justin growled through gritted teeth.

...

The water in the bathroom flowed with a ’swoosh’, soon the atmosphere within turned decadent.

Justin Xavier’s throat moved up and down as he waited for that intense feeling to pass, then reached out and pulled Leah into his arms, kissing her pale face, "Alright, stop fussing, I’ll bathe you."

That’s how he was, only offering tenderness after satisfying himself.

Justin Xavier applied shower gel on Leah’s body, his gaze lowering as he noticed the milky white fluid flowing down between her legs.

Justin Xavier lifted his head to look at Leah, his eyes darkening. Though he said nothing, his intentions were clear for more.

Just then, Leah raised her hand and forcefully slapped across his handsome face.
