Chapter 842 Antheena’s Confession

Although Xavier once did Veronica wrong, she couldn’t deny his efforts to make up to her. Therefore,

the feelings she had for Xavier were a mix of positive and negative emotions. As much as she was

wary of Xavier, she felt somewhat safe around him.

In the meantime, Matthew noticed the painful emotion on Veronica’s face and looked back at Xavier.

“Thanks for saving Roni.” As a man with principles, he was grateful for Xavier’s heroic action of

rescuing Veronica despite their bitter history.

“Take her with you and get out of my face! Now!” Xavier gritted his teeth while bearing the pain that was

tormenting him on the inside. “Who do you think you are? Why should we—”

“Shut up!” Unhappy with Xavier’s attitude, Skyler talked back, but before he could finish his sentence,

he was interrupted by Matthew, who cut him short harshly. The next moment, Matthew carried Veronica

in his arms and headed outside.

Meanwhile, Veronica, who found herself in Matthew’s arms, couldn’t take her eyes off Xavier, feeling a

pang of guilt and pain like a blade that was plunged through her chest. On the other hand, Xavier only

walked closer to the window and lit up a cigarette before puffing at it, his eyes filled with indifference. At

the same time, Veronica couldn’t help but feel sympathetic for the man when she saw his silhouette.

As soon as the trio made their way downstairs, they left the hotel and drove off. Not long after they left,

a car pulled up outside the hotel’s exit, whereupon someone stepped out of the vehicle and slammed

the door hard behind her. After that, she headed upstairs and stood right outside Xavier’s room,

knocking on the door repeatedly.

With the cigarette still in his mouth, Xavier slowly turned around and walked toward the door. Then, just

when he was beginning to make out his visitor’s face, he took a slap that turned his face the other way

in his cheek, his skin feeling unbearable pain.

Needless to say, Xavier’s forehead was covered by his fringe, thanks to the impact of the slap he just

took. At the same time, the cigarette also fell onto the ground shortly before the burning end was

extinguished.

“Are you out of your mind, Sebastian? How could you get physical with Zac for that b*tch, Veronica?

Are you trying to get me and my father killed?!” Antheena flipped out, her eyes turning red, yet it was

not because of disappointment but because of anger.

After all, she couldn’t accept the fact that Xavier only had eyes for Veronica despite everything she did

for him. I saved him from all the trouble and took him to the castle so that he could become my father’s

right-hand man. I even married him in the end, but why won’t he forget about Veronica?!

“Haha.” Xavier placed his hand over his burning cheek, smiling ambiguously instead of reacting with

anger. Fixing his gaze on Antheena, he said, “Great! I deserved that.” The next second, he walked

toward the living room and sat on the couch, puffing at another cigarette. Deep down, he had no

intention of explaining to Antheena what had happened. In fact, he didn’t even feel like talking at all.

Meanwhile, Antheena, who noticed Xavier’s silent depression as he was smoking, instantly regretted

her impulsive action, pitying the man. At the same time, her right hand, with which she slapped Xavier’s

face, was still feeling a burning sensation in the palm, indicating just how much strength she used to

spank his cheek. After all, Xavier was the man she loved, but the feelings she had for him were

ironically not mutual.

A few moments later, she snapped out of her trance and walked into the room, closing the door behind

her. Then, she approached Xavier and sat down beside him, caressing his cheek while rubbing the red

mark with her fingertips.

At that moment, she felt as if she had a sore throat, speaking with a hoarse voice as she began to

worry about Xavier. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to… I must have been blinded by my emotions. It must

have hurt, right?”

Nevertheless, Xavier didn’t answer Antheena at all but continued to puff at his cigarette while setting

his eyes somewhere in front of him absent-mindedly. Soon, Antheena wrapped her arms around Xavier

and rested her head on his shoulder.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have raised my hand to you. I-I just love you so much. I cared for you, but ever

since we got together, you never said ‘I love you’ to me, and neither did you ever touch or kiss me.

Never! You never did any of those things with me.”
