Weston gently kissed her on the side of her hair. “Don‘t worry. I won‘t touch you just vet.”
He said in a hoarse voice, “I will wait until the day you are willing.” Lving in his arms, Stella listened to his
heartbeat and thought to herself sarcastically, ‘Never. That day will never come.‘
In the old mansion of the Taylors. Though Xavier and Zeta were not on good terms, they still visited the
two elders filially.
Zeta‘s grandparents had always doted on her. She was the youngest granddaughter in the family and
grew up under their watchful eyes. In fact, they never agreed on the marriage between her and Xavier.
But because she loved him, they went along with her wishes. The car slowly drove into the mansion.
When she got out of the car, she went to Xavier and took his arm.
This time, he did not push her away.
Instead, he courteously took her inside.
He knew that they had to act as if they had a good relationship in front of the elders.
No matter how outrageous their reputation was on the outside, what families like theirs valued the most
was the superficial harmony.
She also gathered herself. Just as they walked down the hall, they heard her grandparents chatting and
laughing about something in the room. As soon as they came over, the housekeeper hurriedly informed
them. Hearing some noises, Mrs. Taylor stood up and waved at her happily. “Darling, you‘re here! Come
here. We were just talking about you.” Mr. Taylor nodded at his granddaughter as well. They had always
doted on their granddaughter. And only then did they see Xavier and greet him in a friendly manner.
The marriage between the two families had been set when they were very little, so both families were
familiar with each other. Although they knew about Xavier‘s affair outside, they turned a blind eye to it
since he did not do anything that embarrassed both families. All the people in the circle knew that.
He was the youngest son in that family. Though the same age as Weston, he was of the same
generation as Chris.
He had been pampered since young. Like Zeta, he never suffered any grievances. Hence, they could
understand him having some bad habits. As long as Zeta truly loved him, they would not say anything.
“We were just talking about you two, and here you are.”
“It has been a while since I visited you.” Xavier always showed the best of him in front of the elders.
He appeared thoughtful and filial.
“Here are some presents for you. I hope you like them.” He was always good at coaxing women. Mrs.
Taylor was a woman after all. Looking at the presents he brought, she could not help smiling. “That is so
sweet of you!” They engaged in small talk. Both families were naturally very optimistic about their
relationship. It was getting late, so after dinner, the two elders asked them to stay the night. This had
been a routine over the years. Knowing this would happen before coming here, they agreed to it. This
had been a regular social activity for the two. They stayed over at Xavier‘s place last time, so it was here
this time. Their rooms had been prepared in advance. As they were not married yet, they stayed in
separate rooms. Although the elders did not mind this, Zeta still retained her bottom line..
