The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 200

Shakira's eyes were misty and dreamy. Hearing Walter's words, she lifted her head in a daze. Looking at Walter's captivatingly handsome face, she seemed to think seriously for moment before replying. "I remember everything." Walter nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay." Then, he just stared at Shakira steadily, providing a clear hint.

Shakira almost laughed out loud. She had a mischievous idea and wanted to tease Walter. Her eyes twinkled with mischief as she blinked and innocently asked, "So I have to bribe you with what I learned last night?" Walter let out a soft "Hmm" from his throat. Shakira laughed to herself even more and said, "Alright then..." Her voice softened as she lifted her body, inching toward Walter's perfectly shaped lips. Walter glanced down slightly, watching Shakira intently. Almost unconsciously, he leaned forward, making it easier for her to move closer.

However, just as Shakira was about an inch away, she suddenly braked. "No way, Mr. Lopez is a man of his word, honest and uncompromising. How can I ruin your lifelong good name? This kind of thing. I won't... mmph! Shakira hadn't even finished her words when Walter realized he had been tricked. He was embarrassed and angry, pressed the back of Shakira's head with his large hand, and delivered a hard kiss. Struggling to catch her breath and keep up the pace, all Shakira could do was regretfully cry out to the sky...

Not far behind, Sean saw Shakira's Cullinan drive into Eastlake Valley Estate. He frowned in confusion and thought, 'Could it be that Shakira had already moved into the villa?

'But why doesn't she tell me? If I had known she was living there, I would have gotten a nanny to take care of her!

Xanthe, who hadn't spoken a word during the whole trip, was very anxious. As they got closer to the villa, her heart felt like it was in her throat. Suddenly, she had a bright idea and said, "Ah!"

She suddenly bent over, holding her stomach. Sean, who had been lost in thought, was startled by Xanthe's sudden action and quickly slowed down the car. "What's wrong with you?"

Xanthe groaned with her body bent over. "I have a stomachache" Sean's expression changed. "Are you going to..."

Xanthe said, "Probably..."

"Oh, come on! Don't do it here... Ugh, what a hassle. Just hold on I'll take you to the shopping mall outside!" Seeing Xanthe's pained expression, Sean was frightened.

He didn't continue following Shakira. Instead, he quickly turned the wheel, made a turn, and drove out of the neighborhood toward the nearby shopping center.

Bending down and secretly watching outside from the corner of her eye, Xanthe breathed a sigh of relief. She had been complaining for quite a while when Sean finally parked the car in the underground parking lot. Upon hearing the door slam shut, Xanthe immediately dropped her act.

She was thinking of finding an excuse to slip away when, out of nowhere, Sean came around, opened the passenger and without saying a word, unbuckled her seatbelt, lifting her up in a princess carry. Xanthe was so surprised by Sean's smooth and uninterrupted actions that she forgot to react.
