The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 168

Chapter 168

Shakira is a woman of principles. She really held on for a full two minutes before finally putting her phone down. Brian, watching from the side, felt a chill of worry.

After years of following Walter, he had never seen anyone act this way and actually get away with it. Shakira was definitely

the first.

When Walter glanced her way, Shakira cleared her throat and thoughtfully adjusted his hair. Even though she couldn't fix his hairstyle perfectly, Walter still looked good. Shakira said, "This looks much better." Walter stayed quiet, instead looking at Xanthe, who was grinning like a fool nearby.

He frowned a bit, prompting Shakira to explain, "She came over to study with me, but the rain outside is really heavy. She'll leave after dinner when it eases up."

Walter nodded and gestured to Levi, "Let's eat." Hearing this, Xanthe, regaining her composure, trembled and clung tightly to Shakira's arm, as if it were her only lifeline in a stormy sea.

"No way, no way! Mr. Lopez is going to eat with us?!" Xanthe asked, wondering if she could still make a quick escape.

Shakira noticed Xanthe's pale face and realized that even though Xanthe usually wasn't scared of anything, she was intimidated by Walter. Shakira asked, "Do you want him to wait until we finish eating?" Xanthe shook her head vigorously, her anxiety clear. Seeing her timid demeanor, Shakira couldn't help but chuckle. "Don't worry, with me here, he won't bite."

Xanthe grimaced inside. Mr. Lopez definitely looks like he can be pretty scary.

Shakira led Xanthe to the dining table and naturally grabbed an apron from Levi, heading toward the kitchen. Left alone with Walter, Xanthe was in shock. She felt like she was about to cry, wishing she could follow Shakira. Usually, when she meets her friend's boyfriend, she is in control while her friend's boyfriend tries to impress.
