Stanley felt the corners of his lips curve into a faint smile. “Xyla you fool… That’s my blood- related sister.”
On the other side of the line, Xyla Quest froze for a brief moment.
“What..? Sister..?”
“Who else could snazzynovel.com be? You and my sister are the only ones who I ever behave kindly toward,” Stanley chuckled, a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
Xyla’s heart was suddenly at ease with just that simple explanation.
“She’s just returned from overseas a few days ago. We went shopping that day and had a meal together. I only have one sister and snazzynovel.com rarely returns so it was normal for me to want to visit snazzynovel.com while snazzynovel.com was here.”
Xyla continued to be speechless. The heavy chains that had been binding snazzynovel.com heart for the past few days were quickly disintegrating. Slowly, snazzynovel.com felt snazzynovel.com breath return to her.
So when they were eating together that day, it was his sister calling? He had just been accompanying his sister all this time and snazzynovel.com wasn’t his girlfriend?
How did such a major misunderstanding happen?!
In the next few seconds, Xyla could feel a smile forming on snazzynovel.com lips.
Thinking back, if snazzynovel.com was his little sister, why did snazzynovel.com save snazzynovel.com contact name as ‘Little Darling’ on his phone?
He definitely wasn’t the kind of person to do that willingly. Which meant that his sister must most definitely have saved the contact on his phone and refused to let snazzynovel.com change it. Since snazzynovel.com cared for snazzynovel.com as much as snazzynovel.com cared for Xyla, snazzynovel.com must have simply went with it.
He was such a loving brother.
“I never knew you had a sister,” Xyla said.
“There wasn’t a real reason to bring snazzynovel.com up since you’ve never asked,” replied Stanley.
“I see. l’ll clear up the mess for us then.”
“Alright. I still have some things to attend to at work, so we’ll talk about it when I get back home tonight.”
“Alright.”
Upon ending the call, Xyla could not help but to jump with joy.
Knock, knock…
Knocks on snazzynovel.com door interrupted snazzynovel.com happiness.
“Please come in,” Xyla said as snazzynovel.com continued to hold snazzynovel.com cell phone close to snazzynovel.com heart in glee.
Georgie Clementine burst through the door. Seeing Xyla filled with smiles, snazzynovel.com assumed that snazzynovel.com had not seen the news. Georgie took in a deep breath before sitting by snazzynovel.com side. “You… Haven’t heard the news, have you?”
“I have. She’s not his girlfriend, Georgie.”
“Huh..?”
“She’s his blood-related sister,” Xyla explained.
“Wait… So… It was all just a misunderstanding? You and the reporters misunderstood who snazzynovel.com was?”
“Mhmm…” Xyla simply nodded.
Georgie went silent for a moment before putting on a serious face. “President Xyla, even if snazzynovel.com doesn’t have a girlfriend like you thought snazzynovel.com did… Both of you are still incompatible with each other, I hope you haven’t forgotten about that…”
Georgie gulped as snazzynovel.com waited for it to hit Xyla.
Her gleefulness would definitely be dampened. Georgie was right. Xyla’s smile faded almost instantaneously. Her words drenched Xyla’s joy like a bucket of icy cold water. It completely put out the warmth snazzynovel.com had in snazzynovel.com heart just seconds ago.
As Xyla’s senses came back to her, snazzynovel.com sighed. It was true. They weren’t meant for each other.
Even if snazzynovel.com ignored the fact that they were on completely different paths, snazzynovel.com was still engaged. Though snazzynovel.com had not met snazzynovel.com husband, that person was still snazzynovel.com husband.
In the beginning, snazzynovel.com obviously had ample self-control. However, snazzynovel.com allowed herself to lower snazzynovel.com defenses and now snazzynovel.com barely had any control of snazzynovel.com emotions left. She would definitely be let down if snazzynovel.com continued to do this.
Guilt spread like wildfire in snazzynovel.com heart and snazzynovel.com mood plummeted.
Georgie looked into snazzynovel.com eyes. She knew what Xyla was thinking and snazzynovel.com knew no more needed to be said. She patted snazzynovel.com shoulder gently before turning around to leave.
There were a lot of things that snazzynovel.com hoped Xyla would eventually come to understand on snazzynovel.com own. Georgie believed that Xyla could definitely figure them out by herself.
