Billionaire And His Son Betrayed Me: Brothers Back Me Up novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167

By the time Hudson hurried back with the burritos, Joshua was already nowhere to be found.

After letting out a long breath, he looked at Xylia with a puzzled expression. “Where is Joshua Garcia?”

Where is Joshua?

Xylia said calmly, “He left.”

She appeared to be in low spirits, yet she was not sad.

Hudson slightly furrowed his brows, stood up with a swift movement, and questioned Xylia, “Has he bullied you? Just tell me, and I’ll avenge you!”

As he spoke. Hudson rolled up his sleeves, preparing to make Joshua pay.

Xylia sighed helplessly. “Don’t worry, Hudson, he did not bully me

Joshua not only did not bully her, but also helped her a great deal.

From Jupiton to Norhill, in just a few months, she owed him quite a few favors.

Even just now, after Joshua persistently requested an answer from her, he left two contact details.

He was aware that Xylia’s studio was lacking talent.

These two individuals were talents he had carefully selected. They were experienced designers.

If Xylia was able to hire them, the studio’s operations for the next six months would run smoothly.

After hearing Xylia’s words, Hudson breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As he set up the small tray table, he said, “You’ve just reunited with us, so you can take some time to enjoy yourself. You’re not even thirty yet–these are the best years of your life. Don’t go tying yourself down to a man again.”

Hudson earnestly and repeatedly offered heartfelt advice.

Xylia smiled and said, “I’m turning thirty.”

Hudson said seriously, “Still, you’re the little princess of the Sadler family!”

Hudson placed the burritos and the other purchased food on the table.

He looked at Xylia and said, “Xylia, even if you like Joshua, when it comes to choosing a man, we need to test him further for you.”

Hudson maintained a serious demeanor and spoke with conviction.

However, Xylia was drawn to certain words in his speech. How did you figure out I like Joshua?”

Hudson raised an eyebrow. “How could that not be obvious? Compared to us, you rely on him much more.”

Xylia appeared to be immobilized in place.

At that moment, her heart surprisingly pounded wildly.

She involuntarily recalled what Joshua

aid before he had just left. “When I return, I will ask you for an answer. Don’t avoid me or change the subject. If your answer is negative, I will keep wooing you affirmatively

until you nod

Xylia had just been criticizing Joshua’s domineering manner, yet now she inexplicably felt her cheeks growing

warm.

Hudson noticed that Xylia’s face was flushed and assumed she was feeling unwell. “Are you alright, Xylia? Does the wound hurt?”

Xylia shook her head.

Hudson said decisively, “I’ll ask Cyrus to come over and check on you.”

Xylia immediately grabbed him to stop him. “I’m truly fine, Hudson. Join me and have something to eat as well.

Hudson was still worried. “Are you really

really okay?”

Xylia nodded. I’m really fine.”

Hudson sat down suspiciously, his gaze lingering on Xylia’s face for several seconds.

Only after seeing that she truly appeared entirely untroubled did he feel at ease.

That night, Leon made time and came to see Xylia. “Hudson told me that crazy woman came to bother you? How are you, Xylia? You weren’t hurt, were you?”

Xylia felt helpless. “I am truly fine. You’re making a big deal out of this.”

Today, Cyrus came to check on her, and Hudson specifically adjusted his schedule to visit her at the hospital.

She had answered the same thing several times throughout the day and was now somewhat fatigued.

Before Leon was about to speak, she hurriedly changed the subject. “What brings you here, Leon? Aren’t you recording the show anymore?”

When the reality show was mentioned, Leon was like a deflated ball–somewhat disappointed and a bit sulky. “How could a show be more important than you? Can’t I make time to come see you?”

How could a program be more important than my younger sister? Can’t I make time to come see you?

Xylia had been consistently following the livestream.

She knew that Leon ultimately succeeded in teaming up with Mia, and they looked quite sweet together on the show, so how come Leon looked dejected now?

Xylia exchanged a glance with Hudson.

She then asked Leon, “What happened? Is your plan to woo your beloved not going well?”

“It’s much more than just not going welll” Leon seemed to be waiting for Xylia to ask him.

He moved a stool and sat at the edge of the bed, his gaze upon Xylia tinged with both anger and pity. “I gave her a pair of sunglasses. Seeing that she wore them frequently, I assumed she liked the gift. Guess why.”

Xylia shifted her gaze and asked tentatively, “Is it because she only has this pair of sunglasses?”

Leon froze, then looked at Xylia with anger and discontent. “How do you know?”

Xylia explained with a smile, “Judging by your expression, it is clear that the situation is not as you imagined. I was merely speculating in that aspect.”

Leon’s expression darkened. He hung his head in dejection, a stark contrast to the spirited movie star seen on

screen

Xylia patted Leon on the shoulder. “You need to be patient when wooing girls, but if you give up, just forget 1 said anything.

“I’m not giving up!” Leon flipped out. “It took me so much effort to find her–there’s no way I’ll ever give up! Isn’t it just a pair of broken sunglasses? Isn’t it just hype? Just watch me turn this fake act into reality!”

His sudden burst of drive startled both Xylia and Hudson.

After he finished speaking, Leon patted Xylia on the shoulder. “Xylia, I won’t visit you for the next two days. Once you have recovered, I’ll bring my girl to see you.”
