The Woman From Hell

Chapter 1709



Since Xander had confirmed his relationship with Jerome, he slowly shifted the focus of his work to behind the scenes.

After all, they were in a relationship that could not be made public for the time being. If Xander continued to make public appearances, then Jerome would soon be exposed.

Xander choosing to go behind the scenes was also to let the public forget him as soon as possible so that he and Jerome could be inseparable.

When I thought about it like this, I fell into a trance for a while.

Xander's fingers snapped me back into reality. "What are you thinking about? Look at you being so focused."

"It's nothing. Are you also buying things in the supermarket?" I asked casually.

He smiled and nodded. "Yeah. Did you think I was there to go to a concert? Come on, I'll take you back."

I did not refuse.

After sending me to the villa, Xander was about to leave. I stopped him. "It seems like you didn't manage to get anything. Why don't you and Jerome come to my place for dinner tonight?"

"Sounds good. We'll come over later." Xander readily agreed to it.

Hence, in the next hour, Caroline and I were keeping our hands busy cooking up four dishes and one stew.
