Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband-Chapter 985: Go Upstairs and Take a Bath

This answer was within Justin Xavier’s expectations. He didn’t stop his stride, just reached out his large hand to hold Leah Thorne’s soft and slightly cool little hand, and led her away in big steps.

"Your household register is with me, did you bring your ID card?" he asked.

Leah nodded vigorously, "I brought it, I brought it."

"Can you ask your lawyer to withdraw the case? You consented when you were 18, and there’s no way I could be ten steps away from my wife, right?"

"Right, I’ll call the lawyer right away."

The two walked out of the set, a long stretch limousine was waiting outside, and the private secretary had already respectfully opened the rear door.

Justin Xavier wasn’t showing any emotional fluctuations, "The new house is ready, we’ll move there after the wedding, Leah, I don’t like your career. Once ’The Floating Life’ ends, you should leave the circle and peacefully be my Mrs. Xavier..."

The little hand in his palm suddenly slipped away, Justin Xavier stopped in his tracks, and turned his head to look at the girl behind him.

Leah stood there disheartened, the cold wind outside blowing against her thin body, her eyes were already red, thoroughly red. She looked at him, her voice trembling with a crying tone, "Justin Xavier, m-my brother... where is he? I’m asking you, where is my brother?"

Justin Xavier looked at the tears in her eyes, feeling a bit displeased. He didn’t like her shedding tears for another man, even if it was her brother, he really didn’t like it.

"Once we’re married, I’ll naturally tell you." He lifted his thin lips.

Leah slowly extended her little hand, "Then give me the phone, I want to see... my brother..."

Justin Xavier took out his phone and handed it to her.

Leah tapped the phone screen and zoomed in on the photo. Yes, it was her brother.

But her brother was lying in the intensive care hospital bed, with many tubes inserted in him, and an oxygen mask on his face. Her brother looked very unwell.

Her brother must have been seriously injured, otherwise he would have come back to her.

For so many years, if he could return, he would have returned.

Her eye sockets felt very hot, big teardrops kept falling down. Leah held the phone tightly, her slender white fingers gripping so tightly they turned white with pain. She slowly squatted down, squatting on the street corner, holding the phone and hugging herself, unable to stop crying.

Her brother is still alive!

She always felt that her brother hadn’t died, but the speculation was far less impactful than the current scene. It turned out she wasn’t an orphan; she still had a family in this world, her brother was really still alive.

That was the brother who loved her and cared for her the most.

Justin Xavier looked at Leah; she was squatting there alone, a small and fragile little bundle, crying so hard she was gasping for breath.

Justin Xavier walked over, knelt on one knee, and extended his large palm to stroke her little head, like treating his most beloved pet.

"Don’t touch me!" Leah pushed him away with red eyes, glaring at him with tears blurring her vision, "It’s all you, it’s all of you, you killed my daddy and mommy, made me an orphan!"

"Your mom always liked to scold me, scolded me for years whenever she saw me, your dad was sordid and shameless, had those thoughts about me, the worst was your grandpa, and you, you hurt me the most."

"You lifted me to the clouds and then slammed me to the ground, you even deprived me of the right to be a mother. I don’t know if you executioners ever wake up in your nightmares at night, if you can smell the bloody scent your hands are stained with!"

"My dad, my mom, both such good people, my brother... my brother was born a chosen one, the most brilliant and bright star in Bayside, but now my brother is lying in a hospital bed, relying on oxygen even to breathe... such a proud person, he must be so sad..."

"Justin Xavier, I’ve always wanted to ask you, what did I do wrong, what did I do so wrong that you would destroy me like this? Had I known the pain of today, I’d rather wander aimlessly and suffer a lifetime than step into the Xavier family’s door and come to your side!"

Leah roared at Justin Xavier from the street corner, her fists clenched tightly, her eyes bloodshot staring at him fiercely. For the first time, Justin saw in her eyes... the excruciating pain, and hatred.

He didn’t know why, but he always felt that although Leah was in her twenties, the most vibrant of ages, she seemed like she was slowly withering.

Justin Xavier’s long eyes also tinged with a bit of red, he reached out once more, holding her trembling shoulders, "Leah, don’t be willful, you’ve seen, your brother is very unwell now, he needs you to save him, you will save him, right?"

Leah was touched on her sore spot, she truly hated, how could she not hate? The Thorne family was shattered, and the man before her always maintained such an arrogant posture, forcefully controlling everything.

"Leah, it’s getting late now, wipe away your tears, we should go to the civil affairs bureau."

"Justin Xavier, how do you still have the nerve to marry me now? My brother will come back soon, he will take me away, and you will never see me again!"

Justin Xavier used his fingertip to wipe away the tears on her face, his movements gentle and full of affection, "Leah, don’t say such silly things. Perhaps Mort Thorne of the past could compete with me, but what can Mort Thorne, who’s become like this, use to take you away?"

"However, as long as you peaceably become my Mrs. Xavier, then your brother is my brother, and I can listen to him very well."

"So do you understand, Leah, how I treat your brother completely depends on your attitude towards me."

"You treat me well, I treat your brother well. If you don’t treat me well, then don’t blame me... for being unkind to your brother."

This insidious, despicable man, Leah had tried everything to escape from him, but unexpectedly she was caught back so easily.

Now her brother is under his control, what else can she do?

Besides being his Mrs. Xavier, what else can she do?

"Justin Xavier, you’d better ensure my brother comes back safe and sound, otherwise... there’s nothing I can’t do, but I can let you lose your Mrs. Xavier forever."

...

Justin Xavier took Leah to the civil affairs bureau, the two successfully obtained two red booklets.

Leah officially became Mrs. Xavier, legally protected Mrs. Xavier.

Justin Xavier didn’t return to the company, instead bringing Leah back to their new home.

Everything in the new home was designed by Justin Xavier himself, low-key warmth filled with extreme luxury.

After eating a bit of dinner, Leah put down her chopsticks, and the maid quickly said, "Madam, eat a little more, you’ve only eaten a little bit."

Leah shook her head, "I’m full."

Across from her, Justin Xavier glanced at her, "If you don’t eat, that’s fine, go upstairs, take a bath."

Go upstairs, take a bath.

Leah knew, the wedding night had arrived.
