Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 297 He Wouldn’t Leave

Milly beheld the weary visage of Jordan and gently diverted the conversation, “Jordan, I’m alright. You should rest for a while.”

Jordan hesitated. “No, I’m not tired. I’ll stay with you a bit longer.”

Yet, his exhaustion was undeniable. Milly suppressed the tears in her gaze and playfully chided, “Jordan, go rest. Your eyes are red from lack of sleep. If I wake up and find you bedridden, I’ll have to tend to you while I’m ill. Do you think you can manage that?”

And if the paparazzi see you like this, they might think our family is in “turmoil.”

“But … ”

“Jordan, if you don’t rest, then neither will I.

In the end, Jordan relented, gently tousling her hair. “Alright, I’ll rest now and come back later.”

“I’ve arranged for two caregivers; they’ll be here soon. If you need anything, just let them know.”

Milly finally smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

Still, Jordan remained uneasy. After a few more words, he turned to leave. As he did, his gaze fell upon Xavier, who appeared equally fatigued. His expression darkened slightly, and he spoke with a hint of resentment. “You come with me too.

Xavier bit his lip, his eyes filled with indescribable sorrow as he looked at Jordan with a faint plea, “Jordan, I don’t want to leave…”

Milly rolled her eyes. Stephanie was nowhere in sight, and the pretense of familial bonds seemed hollow.

Jordan, perceptive of Milly’s aversion to Xavier’s presence, forcibly grabbed Xavier by the collar, ignoring his protests, and dragged him out. Once Xavier was gone, Milly breathed a sigh of relief.
