Eventually, Joshua was kicked out of Xylia’s office. He was just too restless and was getting in the way of her work.

‘Seriously, how can anyone get anything done with Joshua around?‘ Xylia couldn’t help but sigh to herself, already feeling a headache coming on from his constant antics.

Time passed in a blink, and soon, George Jennings‘ birthday banquet was just around the

corner.

Xylia had already finished tailoring the outfit and delivered it to Beatrice well in advance.

On the surface, last time’s incident didn’t seem to have affected their partnership.

But deep down, only Xylia and Beatrice knew–there was now an unspoken knot between them.

Before the banquet, Joshua was all set to help Xylia out and book her a glam team.

But Xylia just smiled and told him, “Kaden already took care of it for me.”

Joshua felt a hint of disappointment swirling in his chest. ‘Guess I’m just extra around here now,‘ he couldn’t help but think.

Still, Xylia steeled her heart and kicked Joshua out without a second thought.

Lately, they’d been all over each other, and honestly, Xylia was starting to feel like she just couldn’t handle all the clinginess anymore.

After wrapping up her work early, Xylia headed back to the Sadler family home.

The glam team Kaden had booked was already waiting for her.

When the team leader, Lucy, saw Xylia, her eyes lit up.

“Ms. Sadler, you’re absolutely stunning!” Lucy said admiringly,

Xylia couldn’t help but blush at the compliment, mumbling a quick thank you before slipping into the seat at the vanity.

“It’s a birthday banquet tonight, so let’s go for something elegant and refined,” Xylia suggested.

Lucy nodded, all smiles. “Got it, Ms. Sadler.”

Four hours later, just as Xylia was starting to nod off from boredom, the glam team finally

finished her makeup.

Lucy grinned and brought over the dress she’d been hiding all evening, handing it to Xylia with an excited flourish.

The gown was a shimmering pink mermaid dress with an elegant off–the–shoulder cut. Soft, luxurious fur–trimmed satin cuffs dangled from her arms, striking the perfect balance between classy and a touch of mischief.

Xylia’s figure was the stuff of envy, and once she slipped into the dress, she looked breathtaking–and she knew it.

Lucy was practically showering her with nonstop praise.

“Ms. Sadler, you’re honestly the most gorgeous person I’ve ever laid eyes on! I mean, your face glows even without a touch of makeup, and as for your figure–you’re just born to wear anything! Literally every style looks amazing on you.”

Xylia couldn’t help but blush, a little embarrassed by all the attention.

She hurried downstairs to find Kaden.

All four Sadler brothers were here tonight. As Xylia came down, each looked at her with admiration.

Hudson Sadler stepped over, circled her, and praised, “No wonder you’re The Sadlers Princess. You’re beautiful, and tonight you look like a goddess.”

Leon Sadler nodded in agreement.

Leon grinned, teasing, “With that gorgeous face of yours, you’d totally be the hottest star in showbiz. Directors would fight over you for every lead role!”

Hudson rolled his eyes and shot back, “Oh, knock it off. Like we’d let our princess loose in that crazy scene–no way I’m letting showbiz mess up our little sister.”

Hudson turned to Xylia with a smile. “Don’t mind Leon, sis, he’s just messing with you.”

Leon clicked his tongue, walked right over, and grabbed Hudson by the back of his collar. “Hey, you brat, it’s been way too long since I put you in your place–are you just begging for trouble or what?”

“Come on, let go! I’m not some kid anymore, you know. You really want me to lose face in front of everyone?” Hudson grumbled, wriggling to get free.

“Doesn’t matter how old you get, you’re still my little brother! Like I’d ever care about your pride when it comes to keeping you in line.” Leon shot back, laughing.

Xylia grinned at Leon and Hudson’s usual bickering. She didn’t bother getting involved and just walked straight toward Kaden and Cyrus.

Once she reached them, Xylia asked, “So, when are we heading out?”

Kaden glanced at the time and nodded. “Heading out now should be just right. Let’s go.”

Cyrus eyed Xylia’s high heels and couldn’t help but offer a little professional advice.

“Sis, if you get a chance to sit down at the banquet, take it! Those heels will have your feet aching in no time–and your foot’s barely recovered from surgery, so go easy, alright?”

Xylia grinned, “I hear you, Cyrus.”

Leon and Hudson had stopped bickering by now.

Slung an arm around each other’s shoulders, they both turned to Cyrus and teased, “Cyrus, you’re turning into a real worrywart. Is this what being a doctor does to you–makes you act like a total mother hen?”

Leon quickly sidestepped away from Hudson, throwing him under the bus as he pointed over. “That mother hen stuff came from Hudson, not me, Cyrus–don’t drag me into this!”

Cyrus glanced over at Hudson.

‘Hudson felt an icy chill shoot down his spine.’

Right on cue, Cyrus’s tone turned cool as he spoke up.

“Kaden, I heard the Carters are looking for a marriage alliance lately. If we don’t want to offend them, why not just send Hudson? I mean, out of all of us brothers, he’s got the most free time on his hands anyway.”

‘If they’re calling me a nag, I might as well double down,‘ Cyrus thought to himself with a wry grin. ‘Hey, making sure my little brothers are set for life–that’s just part of the big brother gig!’

Kaden couldn’t deny it–Hudson was barely ever home these days, always glued to the racetrack.

Hudson barely got a chance to complain before Kaden waved him off, “Don’t even start whining–I’ll get back to Mr. Carter tomorrow.”

Not giving Hudson any chance to protest, Kaden simply took Xylia with him and stepped out.

As Xylia reached the door, she couldn’t help but hear Hudson’s dramatic wailing echoing behind her.

She chuckled softly and turned to Kaden.

“Are you really going to let Hudson meet that Carter girl for a blind date?” she teased, glancing

at Kaden.

Kaden shrugged, a faint smile tugging at his lips. “Just one meeting, not a big deal. It’s not like it’s going to hurt him.”

It might’ve been summer, but the night air still carried a hint of chill.

Seeing how delicate Xylia’s dress was, Kaden shrugged off his suit jacket and laid it gently over her shoulders–a quiet gesture that spoke volumes about how protective he was.

“Your company’s just starting out and you’re busier than ever. This is exactly when you need to take extra care of your health,” he reminded her, concern clear in his voice.

Xylia nodded with a warm smile. “Thanks, Big Bro.”

Being back in Norhill, surrounded by the warmth of the Sadler family, was the most relaxing and loving time Xylia had ever known.

For Xylia, these were the moments when she felt truly at peace, wrapped in love–nothing else ever came close.

George’s birthday banquet was held at the Jennings family estate.

Perched halfway up a hill, the estate came into view as soon as Xylia rounded the winding mountain road. The Jennings Manor was lit up like a beacon, casting a warm glow over everything.

At the entrance, dedicated hosts were waiting to greet them.

As soon as the Sadler family’s car pulled up, a valet quickly stepped forward to guide the driver to the parking area. Meanwhile, Xylia and Kaden got out and hopped into a golf cart that the Jennings family had arranged just for them.
