Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1073: She Took the Initiative to Hug Him

Chapter 1073: Chapter 1073: She Took the Initiative to Hug Him

The ugly sister turned out to be so beautiful, even more stunning than a fairy descending from the heavens.

The character Anya, portrayed by Leah Thorne, transforms from a regular female college student to the most famous socialite in Grand Shanghai, and then immerses herself in the revolutionary tide to become a female warrior. She lights up her life like fireworks.

Anya’s life closely mirrors Leah Thorne’s journey over the years. She, too, has struggled and wavered in pain and confusion, she has tried hard and given up, only to repeatedly break herself apart and rebuild, eventually rediscovering herself.

Later, everyone knew that two extraordinary people were living in that courtyard: the wealthiest man Justin Xavier and the famous celebrity Leah Thorne.

However, none of them disturbed Leah Thorne’s current peaceful and serene life. Leah’s belly grew bigger day by day, and the baby thrived in her womb.

That day, Leah Thorne lay bored at the windowsill, listlessly staring into the distance, daydreaming.

When Justin Xavier returned, he saw this scene: her black tea-colored curls casually draped over her shoulders, revealing half of her gentle and radiant face. She blinked her eyelashes, gazing into the distance like an innocent little kitten.

Justin Xavier walked over, smiling softly, "Are you... missing your brother?"

Leah Thorne quickly snapped out of it, looking at Justin Xavier’s handsome face, nodding her little head, "Yeah, I haven’t seen my brother in a long time... My brother went back with Tanya to Starfall City, surely facing brambles and lurking dangers. I’m afraid of causing them trouble, so I haven’t dared to inquire about them..."

Justin Xavier raised his noble eyebrows, "I’ve been keeping an eye on the situation in Starfall City. But everything is very calm there; your brother returned to the Shaw family, and nothing has happened. It’s peaceful now, but beneath the calm surface, there’s always a brewing storm. I feel... a change is coming."

Leah Thorne has been feeling restless these past few days. She bit her red lips, saying, "I think so too, it feels like something is about to happen."

Justin Xavier paused for a few seconds, then suddenly spoke, "Do you want to go to Starfall City?"

Leah Thorne hesitated, "Can I?"

"Of course you can, I’ll take you."

Oh my!

Leah Thorne’s eyes instantly lit up. She rushed over and jumped directly into Justin Xavier’s arms, wrapping her small hands around his neck, bouncing happily. "Really? That’s great, I want to go, take me there quickly!"

Justin Xavier reached out and secured her slender waist, holding her protectively in his embrace. A layer of soft smile adorned his handsome brows and eyes. He whispered, "However, when we get to Starfall City, you must listen to me. You can only watch from a distance; you cannot get involved."

"Okay, I’ll agree to everything you say, I’ll listen to you!" Leah Thorne pressed her little face against his chest, rubbing it shyly, blissfully forgetting everything else.

"I’ll arrange it then." Justin Xavier kissed her silky hair.

At this moment, Leah Thorne noticed something was amiss. It seemed like she was... embracing Justin Xavier.

Leah Thorne quickly stood upright, retrieving her small hands.

"What’s wrong?" Justin Xavier asked her.

Leah Thorne felt her face slowly turning red, "Nothing."

She covered her flushed and burning face with her small hands and ran away.

Ah, so embarrassing.

Earlier, she was the one who actively... right?

She actually started touching him!

...

Justin Xavier took Leah Thorne to Hong Kong, and they stayed in an apartment together because Justin Xavier arranged everything himself; it was very safe.

That evening, Justin Xavier draped a black trench coat over Leah Thorne’s shoulders, "I heard that nearby, there’s a newly opened gold-spending bar under the Shaw family. Cain Shaw will attend the opening tonight; come, I’ll take you to have some fun."

Leah Thorne immediately curled her red lips, "Really? Then I can see my brother!"

"But..."

"But I shouldn’t run around, I must stay by your side at all times. There are many people and prying eyes in the bar; can’t bump into my belly, am I right?" Leah Thorne playfully blinked.

Every time they went out, Justin Xavier would remind her of these things. Leah Thorne could recite them with her eyes closed.

Justin Xavier rubbed her silky hair, holding her small hand as they stepped out.

Soon, they arrived at the bar, the heavy metal music deafening, the dance floor teeming with chaos. Justin Xavier and Leah Thorne found a secluded booth and sat down.

"Quickly, girls, hurry up, Lord Cain is coming. You must show your best state to serve him. If Lord Cain picks someone to stay overnight, it’s the greatest fortune to soar like a phoenix!" The madam led a group of extravagantly dressed girls out.

These girls were the pillars of the bar, each stunningly beautiful, ranging from sweet student types to enchanting seductresses, and aloof divas. Eyes were dazzled by the variety.

Upon hearing that Lord Cain was coming, the girls adjusted their skirts, each secretly hoping to be chosen.

Is brother coming?

Leah Thorne was a bit impatient; she hadn’t seen her brother in a long time and wondered if he was doing well.

At this moment, the bar’s door suddenly "banged" open, cold air pouring in as a group of burly, black-clad henchmen filed in, respectfully standing on either side of the path.

"Move aside, clear the way, block Lord Cain’s path if you’ve got a death wish!" the henchmen rudely chased off the bar’s distinguished guests.

The guests at this opulent bar were either wealthy or powerful, but upon hearing Cain Shaw’s name, their expressions changed, quickly moving aside.

Then came the sound of deliberate footsteps; heavy black boots made a creaking sound on the red carpet, followed by a tall, robust figure entering their sight. Cain Shaw had arrived.

Today, Cain Shaw wore black attire, his black T-shirt revealing muscular ripples beneath thin fabric, black trousers cinched at his eight-pack abs with a belt, and black boots below. His physique was so good it almost caused nosebleeds.

Cain Shaw’s arrival immediately caused a stir,

"Look, Lord Cain is here!"

"Wow, Lord Cain is so manly, that physique... no doubt... gifted with vitality."

"Wake up, folks, they say Lord Cain is a walking aphrodisiac. Line up here if you want to worship him."...

Leah Thorne heard girls nearby whisper excitedly; here in Starfall City, her brother’s territory, Leah Thorne truly witnessed her brother’s charm.

The bar owner had been waiting for a long time, bowing humbly to Cain Shaw, who then lifted his head, those deep, dark eyes gazing around.

The previously noisy hall instantly fell silent; some even bowed their heads, succumbing to Cain Shaw’s silent but powerful aura, not daring to meet his gaze.

Then Leah Thorne heard the sound of a fight breaking out among some girls nearby, "He’s looking at me!"

"No, he’s looking at me!"
