The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 181

Shakira had no time to pay attention to her and simply packed some things. She then sent a message to Xanthe and went over to Walter's place. Behind her, Berry glared intensely in the direction she left, her eyes almost shooting flames of jealousy! In the suite, Xanthe heaved a big sigh of relief after closing all the curtains. Just then, she received a message on her phone from Shakira. [I have to stay at Walter's place. Will you be okay sleeping alone tonight?]

Xanthe excitedly typed on her smartphone: [I'm not scared! I can handle it! You go ahead and sleep with Mr. Lopez!] Shakira was speechless. Xanthe, however, was almost bursting with laughter.

But as she turned around, she saw Sean leaning casually against the door, his long legs crossed and his chin resting on his hand. The way he looked at her seemed to say, "What mischief are you up to?" Xanthe felt a chill run up her spine. She quickly locked her phone and cleared her throat. "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm just worried that if Shakira comes back and sees me with you, it'll be hard to explain."

Sean thought for a moment, nodded, and muttered softly, "Yeah we need to be careful, or she will definitely yell at me." After all, he hadn't expected to be caught by Shakira even after switching to a less conspicuous car. It was just his bad luck! "Who were you messaging just now? Is she back?" he asked, moving towards the window, intending to pull back the curtains to check outside.

Xanthe's heart skipped a beat. "No!" She reacted faster than she could think, shouting out while already lunging towards Sean.

Caught off guard, Sean stumbled back a few steps, bumping into the sofa, which caused the two of them to fall onto it together. Xanthe's lips landed hard next to Sean's mouth. For a moment, the room's atmosphere turned awkwardly silent. The two of them stayed still for a few seconds. Xanthe's eyes widened, and she suddenly jumped up. But she didn't manage to get a step away from Sean when a sharp pull on her hair dragged her back.

Her hair got tangled in Sean's flashy diamond-platinum watch! She felt like a scared kitten, twisting frantically. Sean's expression changed several times; using his free hand, he pressed against her lower back and said sharply, "Don't move!" Xanthe immediately went quiet. Her wide eyes were round and bright red, her small lips pressed tightly together, but they trembled slightly. It was evident she was extremely annoyed, and at the same time, there was a hint of vulnerability and embarrassment. Sean quickly said, "Let's untangle your hair first." He only had one hand free, but no matter how hard he tried, the hair just got more tangled.

Xanthe couldn't stand it anymore. She grabbed the fruit knife from the table and swung it down. Sean, startled, quickly pulled back his hand. With a snap, Xanthe finally stood up, and on Sean's watch strap was a strand of hair. Xanthe held the knife, pointing it at Sean. "Forget what just happened!"

Sean was startled.

After she got everything she needed in order, she saw Walter engrossed in work. She had nothing to do. So, she simply lay on the couch and played on her phone. It was only then that she noticed the messages Sean kept sending. Sean: [Shakira, where did
