Joshua’s voice was not loud, yet it struck heavily in Xylia’s heart.

Now that she thought about it, that did seem to be true.

Since meeting Joshua, he had always firmly stood by her side.

Even when she was abroad and was inexplicably confronted by a woman who accused her of being a mistress, Joshua immediately gave her his full trust.

It was ten years ago.

Joshua was recuperating from her injuries in the house she rented.

His injury had mostly healed. However, the fractured bone still required further recuperation.

At that moment, Xylia was seated on the sofa reading a book. When the violent knocking at the door sounded, both instinctively assumed it was those who had been pursuing Joshua.

Xylia signaled Joshua to hide.

Joshua chose a concealed spot not far from the entrance, in order to be able to protect Xylia if any real danger

arose.

As soon as Xylia opened the door, a blonde, slightly overweight woman slapped her across the face.

Xylia was suddenly slapped, catching her off guard.

She then listened as the woman, who was speaking a fluent foreign language, berated her for being her

husband’s mistress.

Xylia was totally baffled.

The woman was evidently furious and even raised her hand to strike Xylia.

Joshua darted out and, with a single kick, sent the woman out the door.

Speaking in equally fluent foreign language, he sharply remarked that the woman’s husband was old enough. to be Xylia’s father and she didn’t need to go after an old man like that.

That was also the first time Xylia realized that Joshua was actually quite skillful with his words.

Unable to outargue Joshua, the woman left grumbling under her breath.

Later, the police and the woman’s husband came to her home to apologize.

It was only then that she and Joshua realized just how severe that woman’s suspicion was. Even when she was out with her husband, if he looked at another woman for just a moment longer, she would suspect him of having an affair with her.

The woman’s husband explained that the day before yesterday, he encountered Xylia on the street. Finding Xylia very attractive, he looked at her a moment longer, which led his wife to watch him closely.

The woman’s husband continually apologized.

Xylia didn’t know what to say.

Joshua suddenly remarked from behind, “If you look at beautiful women on the street and make your wife so suspicious, there must be something wrong with your character as well.”

The woman’s husband’s face turned livid in an instant.

Xylia promptly accepted the apology and politely asked the person to leave.

She sat back on the sofa, frowning as she looked at Joshua.

“It is inadvisable to make enemies outside the home. Be mindful of possible retaliation.”

Joshua glanced at the morning newspaper that had just been delivered and scoffed with defiant arrogance. “If he’s got the guts to come, I’ll break his balls myself! Let’s see if he dares to leer on the street again!”

Xylia thought it was understandable that Joshua was beaten like that.

But she was a little moved anyway. “Thank you for trusting me.”

“What?” Joshua did not understand.

Xylia said, “That woman said I am a mistress. Most people would look at me with prejudice, but you me without hesitation. Thank you.”

At that time, Joshua felt sorry for Xylia.

trusted

She had been traveling alone abroad, feeling gloomy all day. Now, even such a small thing as him believing she was not a mistress moves her so much.

‘How much suffering must she have endured previously? There are certainly no genuine friends around her.’ thought Joshua.

He waved his hand with a roguish air. “It’s nothing.”

As her thoughts returned to the present, the proud, prickly child she remembered fused with the sophisticated, handsome man before her.

There was no sense of incongruity.

She said, “I understand.”

Joshua could tell she was brushing him off. He sensed her lingering trauma.

‘She was definitely ready to dump me at any moment. He felt emotionally stifled.

‘No way! I’ve finally won her heart. I can’t let her go. I must ensure that Xylia feels fully secure.’ thought Joshua.

He took Xylia away from the shopping mall and went to the Datonese restaurant they had visited last time for a meal.

He remembered that Xylia said the food at this restaurant was good and wanted to try other dishes next time.

This was just an opportunity to curry favor.

Xylia was very satisfied with this arrangement.

Her eldest brother and his prospective sister–in–law were dining and did not have time to attend to her.

At the Sadler family, it was light cuisine. For her, it was yet another week without any sense of taste.

After ordering dishes at the restaurant, she let out a sigh.

“It remains uncertain whether there will be another opportunity for me to go out.”

She schemed against Kaden this time. Given the temperament of the four brothers of the Sadler family, her next attempt might not go as smoothly.

She even considered not living with them anymore.

At least she could have freedom.

Joshua smiled and gently tapped Xylia’s forehead. “Rest assured, your confinement will be lifted soon.”

Xylia looked at Joshua with a puzzled expression.

“Why?”

“I’ve reached a cooperation with Ms. Rosalind Webb. She’ll help. It might just be these two days, and you’ll definitely be free.”

“Really?”

Xylia’s eyes lit up.

She never realized how wonderful freedom was until she was confined once.

“Certainly.”

Seeing Joshua’s confident demeanor, Xylia knew he was not lying to her.

She was pleased.

As expected, two days later, Xylia was notified that she could go to the studio.

Xylia was very pleased.

As a result, even Kaden’s characteristically cold expression now appeared much easier on the

More than a week of confinement had left Xylia displeased with all four Sadler brothers.

Today, everyone looked pleasing to the eye.

Cyrus looked at Kaden and objected, “Didn’t we agree on one month?”

At the very least, let the injuries heal a bit more.

Kaden said, “As long as Xylia is happy.”

eyes.

Rosalind told him that the more he pushed and tried to break them apart, the closer the couple would become.

Joshua was such a complex heir that his flaws were only revealed upon closer inspection. Once Xylia realized how dangerous the Garcia family truly was, she would have to leave him voluntarily.

This was preferable to an intervention by all four brothers.

At least in their sister’s eyes, they were great family members.
