"Who needs your charity!" Olivia was fuming at Xanthea's fake innocent act, but she held back her anger as the live stream camera swung towards her.

She wanted to tear her mouth out! "It must be because Xan is just too adorable!" Olivia was livid, but Nelson was captivated by her vulnerable façade.

"Mr. Lockwood, did you need something?" Thirsty?" Orion pulled a bottle of mineral water from an ice bucket.

Xanthea thought Isabella was just setting her up for ssarcastic remark but was taken aback by her next question, "Does it work... on all your family?" "Uh?" "Like, your brother." "My brother?" Xanthea thought for a moment, "Maybe it will work out on Samuel, but not on Big Bro." "Why? What does he fall for?" Isabella asked eagerly, and Xanthea was surprised, "Why do you want to know?" It's nothing... I'm just curious." Realizing she might have exposed something, Isabella quickly clammed up.

Xanthea had only zoned out for a moment to see him transformed into a soaked mess, and she was utterly confused. "Nelson, what happened to you?" Martin burst out laughing nearby, “Hahaha, I saw it! He must have been too hot, asked Mr. Lockwood to give him a wash.

In front of the camera, Nelson was at a loss for words, almost on the verge of tears.

He had thought Mr. Lockwood's attention meant something more personal only to find out he just wanted to cool him down! 09:51
