Xante raised her eyebrow and glanced at him. “Why are you still here? Do you need money? Is that it?”
Sunny suddenly felt like Xante did care about him after all. Otherwise, she would not have offered him money.
“No. I have enough money. But you should have lunch with me.”
Xante frowned. “Sorry, but there’s no ‘should’ or ‘should not’ in my world. Only a kid will use the word ‘should’ to
get others to do what they want.”
“I told you a million times, I’m not a kid!”
“Did I say you were?” Xante asked with a scoff.
Sunny crossed his arms and sat back down on the sofa angrily. ‘Ugh! How dare she treat me like that?’ he thought.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs a matter of fact, Xante was the first woman to ever treat him like he was nothing.
Xante pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and continued to focus on her task at hand. After finishing the
paperwork, she was about to call for her secretary to take the documents away when she saw Sunny had fallen
asleep on the sofa.
‘Should I call for the security to carry him out? But he’s the boss’ stepbrother, and she seems to have a soft spot
for him… She might get angry at me if something happens to him,’ she thought while massaging her temples. The
whole thing was giving her a headache.
In the end, she walked over with a blanket she kept for overnights at the office and laid it on him.
All of a sudden, Sunny snapped his eyes open. “I knew it! You do care about me!”
Xante was speechless. She had made sure to be as quiet as possible to not wake him up, but it was all in vain.
Annoyed, she pulled the blanket over his face and walked out of the office.
Sunny threw off the blanket and got up to chase after her. Xante was giving instructions to her secretary at the
doorway, and the secretary looked at Sunny curiously when he came out of Xante’s office.
This annoyed Xante to no end, so she walked off after she finished giving instructions. Unfortunately, Sunny still
followed her.
Xante suddenly stopped walking and asked irritably, “Why are you following me?”
“I don’t know… I just know I want to be by your side.”
Xante’s lips twitched. “Even a husband and wife need to give each other space. Mister Sunny, I hope you’ll stop
following me,” she said mockingly.
Sunny started blushing madly. “Did… Did you just call us husband and wife? Umm… Okay, I’ll let my family know,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand then I’ll bring you home to meet them. But I have to warn you, they’ll probably only let me get married after I
graduate from university. Lucas, especially, wants me to focus on my study. But if you’re in a hurry, we can go
register our marriage first. I, Sunny Rivera, promise you I’ll take care of you and stay loyal to you forever.”
“Enough!” The more Xante listened to him, the more annoyed she felt. ‘Does he think we’re living in the old times?
There’s no law saying a man must marry a woman after he sleeps with her! Ugh. He’s so foolish to the point that
it’s laughable.’
She never thought about marrying him nor did she want him to take responsibility for her.
“Mister Sunny, you seem to have mistaken me. I’m asking you to stop following me and leave me alone. If you have
so much free time on your hands, you should study or do something else. Do you understand me now?”
Sunny scoffed. “The school’s having a winter break, and I’ve already finished all of my homework. I have all the
time in the world to hang out with you.”
