What the hell!
Xavia was dumbfounded. “Master, you’ve misunderstood. The reason why I want Yulia to befriend Maison isn’t for the money. I…”
“Then, you’re after him? Maison is only three, and your daughter is only two. How could you have such a plan?”
‘Cough, cough.’
What was he even thinking about?
Xavia wanted to explain, but then Hershel said, “Our Maison seldom makes friends, and he has never had so much fun with an outsider before. You take this money, and the little girl can come to accompany Maison more on the weekends.
“As for him as a person, we cannot decide whether they will fall for each other or not when they grow up.”
Xavia was speechless.
‘Why do I find it so hard to clear myself with an explanation?’
“What is it? Are you not after him?” Hershel noticed that she did not make her stand, so he asked again.
Xavia frighteningly shook her head. “No, no.”
Forget it. Just use this as an excuse first. She should accept the money and prevent any further conversation. She did not know how far Hershel would go. He might even accuse her of wanting to marry into the Burton family.
She went forward and received the cheque with two hands. “Thank you, Master Burton.”
After that, only did Hershel stop staring at her, but clearly there was a sense of spite in his gaze.
He had seen a lot of these women who wanted to move up the social ladder at every opportunity.
Since Maison was so happy and natural in front of Yulia, and they were talking and laughing. It would not be too big of a deal to spend a million dollars to buy a ‘toy’ to accompany his grandson.
In fact, Yulia was cute and likable.
In a cold tone and commanding manner, he said, “Tonight, you should get back first. The Burton family will send the children to kindergarten tomorrow.”
Uhm...
She was actually here to pick up Yulia.
Xavia wanted to refuse, but seeing Hershel’s seriousness, it was not a good idea for her to say another word.
She reluctantly nodded. “Then, please take care of Yulia, Master Burton. Thank you.”
When Xavia got back to her apartment.
We’ll figure it out tomorrow!’
“Don’t worry. You should get some sleep.”
“Then, you are not allowed to overthink it. I swear if anything really happens, and even if it means that I’ll have to snatch your daughter back for you, I will.”
“Don’t be stupid. How are you going to snatch my daughter back with that little strength of yours? It's more likely for you to get robbed.”
“Humph! How dare you look down on me. Let me show you how strong I am!”
The two of them started wrestling on the bed.
The night was slowly taken over by the laughter…
Early the following morning.
It was yet another sunny day.
Xavia was worried about Yulia, so she woke up earlier and waited outside the school.
She did not notice that a limited edition luxurious car had pulled over by the road...
