Chapter 4

Xavier wore a crisp, sharp black tailored suit. He had short hair and refined features.

His sleeves were rolled up. It was just enough to reveal the Celestix watch on his wrist.

Every gesture of his exuded the air of a successful man.

Beside him sat Sarah in a white suit. Her long hair was styled in loose waves cascading behind her shoulders.

She carried an air of confidence that softened with a hint of femininity beside Xavier.

A foreign man who looked to be in his 40s or 50s sat across from them.

This wasn't a romantic date for the two but a business meeting with the client.

Yet, Lily's heart somehow trembled at the sight of the scene.

They turned their attention toward her too as she observed them.

Xavier's eyes immediately narrowed slightly.

Lily was dressed in a casual burgundy gown. Her long wavy hair draped over her shoulders.

Her face held a pure innocence and a touch of allure. The two contrasting qualities blended seamlessly with her.

He knew she was beautiful, but he hadn't expected this level of beauty.

He had never brought her to any formal event in the two years of their marriage. The most he had seen her in was her loungewear at home.

A flash of awe flickered in his eyes at the sight of her tonight.

She must have learned of his whereabouts from Timothy to stage this coincidental encounter.

A faint trace of mockery curled at the corners of his lips. He had seen right through her little schemes.

"Mr. Fulton, did you know her?" the foreign man asked when he noticed Xavier's gaze linger on Lily.

Xavier averted his gaze. His tone was indifferent. "No, I don't know her."

Did she expect him to make it easy for her just because she came to him? Impossible.

He exuded an air of indifference that struck Lily square in the face.
