“Xin…” I called unconsciously. What was he talking about? Did he say that his heart ached?Xin turned to look at me in shock, and I felt like I had done something wrong. I looked back at him in confusion.“Did you call me Xin?“ He asked, a smile appearing at the corner of his lips. His grip on my hand also increased.And I blushed. It had been more than five years since I called him that. I didn't know why my tongue had slipped.“Bella…” Xin called and moved closer to me. “Can you call me that often? I miss the life that we had in the past.“My eyes turned teary. Heaven knew how much I missed the same. I missed the time when we were young and he treated me like a real princess.To be honest, at times, whenever he treated me, I wanted to jump into his embrace and hug him tightly, just like I did when I was young.Xin was still looking at my face, and his expression slightly changed. “Do you want to cry? Is something wrong?“ He asked.I shook my head and looked up at him. “What is the m

Skye looked more shocked. She shook her head at us. "But... I saw her drop this. How could it have all the pages?“ She asked, not realizing that she was exposing herself.A smile appeared on my face as she looked at Xin. He sighed and looked at Skye. “You saw her drop it, but you couldn't tell her about it?“ He asked, his voice a little cold.Skye looked terrified for a second. Then she hurriedly shook her head. “Um… I thought she did it intentionally. You know how she is,” she said, sweat forming on her forehead.Xin just stared at her, not saying anything else. And she must have felt uneasy. "I have something to do. Please excuse me,” she said and ran off.I chuckled a little at her behaviour. But just when I looked up, I met Xin's eyes. He was looking at me coldly, like I had committed the mistake of my life.I quickly closed my mouth and put on a straight face. Why did it look like he was mad at me for no reason?“Don't you think there is something you need to explain?“ He asked,

…Little Lion got out of class and was heading for the school bus when someone called him. He pursed his lips and turned. He already knew who the person was.“Xin!“ He waved his hand and ran towards him. Xin was happy that the child ran towards him. He carried him up and kissed his cheek.“How are you?“ He greeted. But his attention was on the child's face. All the words that Birdie had told him kept ringing in his head.Once again, his heart raced. He couldn't imagine how it could be if Little Lion was actually Isabel's and his son's.However, he shook his head. Bella had told him countless times that Little Lion wasn't his son. The child was born months after she left him.Little Lion looked around at his classmates, who were looking at him with awe and jealousy. To them, it appeared like his rich and handsome dad had come to pick him up.He smiled and also waved at them. A few days ago, he had just argued with a few kids who said that he was fatherless.However, when he liked back

Birdie smiled. “I told you, boss! You were just trying to ignore it,” he said, handing the report to Xin.“What does that mean?“ Xin asked, his hands trembling. He hoped that Birdie wasn't just trying to play a trick on him.“Positive!“ Birdie said. “Little Lion is actually your son!“Xin, who was midway through opening the report, looked at Birdie. He even thought that he was in some kind of dream. Was Little Lion his child?A certain light glowed in his eyes. Then he opened the report and read the first line. His heart was beating so fast.He blinked his eyes and looked at Birdie. “There isn't any mistake or confusion anywhere, right?“ He asked.Birdie patted Xin's shoulder. “No, I made them do two separate tests. Little Lion is your son,” he said. He was also surprised to find out that his doubts were actually true. “Man, you are blessed to have such a cute son. His mommy is beautiful too."Xin scoffed. He stood up slowly, his eyes so dark with something that even Birdie couldn't f

He then chuckled. “Are you crazy? A little prince?“ He asked, laughing. “Trisha, don't bring another round of tricks here.“Trisha pursed her lips. “Chris? You don't want people to know about the things that happened between us? You can just say it. I won't tell anyone,” she said.But Chris brushed her away. "You have been so idle, Trisha. Find something better to do,” he said, getting in his car.But just at the same time, his dad appeared. “Hey brat? Where the hell are you going?“ He asked with raised brows.Chris sighed. “I'm going to handle something in town. I will be back soon,” he said. He didn't know why his dad was always showing up every time he wanted to leave the house.His dad pursed his lips. “But there is something I wanted you to do for me,” he said. He slightly looked at Trisha and smiled. “I am glad that she is here. She can keep you company as you work.““Dad? Another task? What are you trying to do?“ He asked. He had done so many tasks for his dad in the last two w
