The True Heiress's Return

Shakira had no time to pay attention to her and simply packed some things. She then sent a message to Xanthe and went over to Walter's place. Behind her, Berry glared intensely in the direction she left, her eyes almost shooting flames of jealousy! In the suite, Xanthe heaved a big sigh of relief after closing all the curtains. Just then, she received a message on her phone from Shakira. [I have to stay at Walter's place. Will you be okay sleeping alone tonight?]

Xanthe excitedly typed on her smartphone: [I'm not scared! I can handle it! You go ahead and sleep with Mr. Lopez!] Shakira was speechless. Xanthe, however, was almost bursting with laughter.

But as she turned around, she saw Sean leaning casually against the door, his long legs crossed and his chin resting on his hand. The way he looked at her seemed to say, "What mischief are you up to?" Xanthe felt a chill run up her spine. She quickly locked her phone and cleared her throat. "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm just worried that if Shakira comes back and sees me with you, it'll be hard to explain."

Sean thought for a moment, nodded, and muttered softly, "Yeah we need to be careful, or she will definitely yell at me." After all, he hadn't expected to be caught by Shakira even after switching to a less conspicuous car. It was just his bad luck! "Who were you messaging just now? Is she back?" he asked, moving towards the window, intending to pull back the curtains to check outside.

Xanthe's heart skipped a beat. "No!" She reacted faster than she could think, shouting out while already lunging towards Sean.

Caught off guard, Sean stumbled back a few steps, bumping into the sofa, which caused the two of them to fall onto it together. Xanthe's lips landed hard next to Sean's mouth. For a moment, the room's atmosphere turned awkwardly silent. The two of them stayed still for a few seconds. Xanthe's eyes widened, and she suddenly jumped up. But she didn't manage to get a step away from Sean when a sharp pull on her hair dragged her back.

Her hair got tangled in Sean's flashy diamond-platinum watch! She felt like a scared kitten, twisting frantically. Sean's expression changed several times; using his free hand, he pressed against her lower back and said sharply, "Don't move!" Xanthe immediately went quiet. Her wide eyes were round and bright red, her small lips pressed tightly together, but they trembled slightly. It was evident she was extremely annoyed, and at the same time, there was a hint of vulnerability and embarrassment. Sean quickly said, "Let's untangle your hair first." He only had one hand free, but no matter how hard he tried, the hair just got more tangled.

Xanthe couldn't stand it anymore. She grabbed the fruit knife from the table and swung it down. Sean, startled, quickly pulled back his hand. With a snap, Xanthe finally stood up, and on Sean's watch strap was a strand of hair. Xanthe held the knife, pointing it at Sean. "Forget what just happened!"

Sean was startled.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

He nervously swallowed. "Relax, nothing really happened... It's just an accident. Don't worry!" Xanthe sat on the other side with the knife, looking really annoyed.

Sean was extremely embarrassed, his heart was racing like crazy In his whole life, apart from his mom, this was the first time he had been this close to a girl, and they actually kissed! It was his first kiss!

He tried hard to calm himself down. "Well, so she..." Sean didn't even get to finish his sentence before Xanthe's cold, piercing look and the sharp knife in her hand made him shut up.

Xanthe looked at him with disdain as if even one more second was unbearable. She then turned her back on him. As soon as she did, her fierce and serious expression disappeared instantly

She thought, 'Oh my gosh, thank goodness I quickly came up with a plan to bluff my way through... Even though the price was a bit high, at least I managed to fool Sean! Ugh, I sacrificed so much for the couple I shipped!

Shakira had just finished making a hot plate of pasta when she suddenly sneezed. Rubbing her nose, she quietly glanced at Walter to see if he noticed. She thought, 'It seems he didn't. She added some sauces and carried the pasta over. Walter had just finished a short phone call when the steaming pasta was placed before him, and that's when he felt his hunger. He ate gracefully, but that didn't slow him down; soon enough, he had finished it.

Shakira handed over a piece of table napkin as Walter asked, "Did you bring the luggage over?"

"Yes. Besides, I've already informed Xanthe, and I'll just get everything in order later," Shakira said, pouting. She still couldn't understand why Walter didn't bring along an extra servant when he had a car equipped with even a fridge and internet come along. It was rare for Shakira to take a break and have a trip, but now, she had to do her usual tasks again. After she got everything she needed in order, she saw Walter engrossed in work. She had nothing to do. So, she simply lay on the couch and played on her phone. It was only then that she noticed the messages Sean kept sending. Sean: [Shakira, where did you go?] Sean: [Shakira, help!]

Shakira was confused.

"Help?" Shakira muttered under her breath. She the

[Shakira, what do I do about tangled hair?]

replied: [What's going on?] After a while, Sean finally texted back:

Shakira thought with a sigh, 'Really? Is this something worth calling for help about?' Shakira: [Cut it off.] Sean: [No way, I have to return it to the owner.]

Shakira: [Then you should untangle it yourself; good luck.] Sean felt helpless.

Shakira couldn't help but wonder, 'His hair is only half a finger long. It's odd for it to get tangled... Right after she exited the chatting interface, she received a message from Matthew.

Matthew: [Hey, have you forgotten your teacher already] Shakira chuckled and quickly tried to smooth things over. [No way, I just finished my finals. I'm out camping with friends now, and I'll come to see you once I'm back!]

Matthew: [Hmph! At least you still have a conscience. Come over tomorrow; I have something to tell you.] Shakira didn't ask more and replied with a cute emoji.

After that, she was holding her phone and scrolling through short videos, and gradually, she fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, she found the room was completely dark. She couldn't find her phone and instinctively called out, "Walter?"
