The Millionaire And His Billionaire Ex-Wife

Chapter 319

Chapter 319

Xylia glanced at Joshua, fast asleep on the bed, then slipped out with her phone in hand,

Her voice faded as she walked away, and through the door you could just make out her murmuring,

“Big brother, I need you to help me investigate a few people,”

The moment the bedroom door clicked shut, Joshua’s eyes snapped open.

He turned his head toward the door, a faint smile playing on his lips.

The whole scene tonight was his setup, designed to make the world believe that Garcia Group was starting to crumble under Connor’s deliberate attacks.

But Xylia’s actions were something he hadn’t anticipated.

Normally, Xylia was like a kitten that never got angry, her occasional outbursts more like playful pouts.

He had never seen her with such a commanding presence as she had tonight.

And he liked it.

After finishing her call with Kaden, Xylia brought a cup of coffee from the kitchen into the bedroom, careful not to spill as she carried it.

As she walked in, she saw Joshua lying on his side, his big bright eyes watching her by the door.

They locked eyes for a moment.

Joshua’s lips slipped into a small smile.

“I’m hungry,” he mumbled.

His face was tinged with a light blush, and his voice sounded both clingy and slurred.

Xylia thought to herself, ‘Seriously? He’s drunk, but he still wakes up from hunger?”

‘Looks like he really didn’t get a proper meal tonight,‘ she grumbled inwardly.

‘Those damn people!‘

Still cursing those people in her heart, Xylia came over to the bed, the herbal tea in hand.

“Drink this first,” she told him.

Joshua lounged at the edge of the bed, looking lazy and relaxed, but he couldn’t take his eyes off Xylia’s face.

He watched as she softly coaxed him into drinking the herbal tea.

Her gentle gaze seemed to caress him, full of tenderness as she looked his way.

He let Xylia gently take his hand, helping him up and guiding him downstairs.
