"Wait… are you leaving?"
Seraphina stood there, dressed up, her curves barely hidden by the silk robe. Wang Xiao's silhouette faded into that strange portal. She bit her lip, calling out.
She'd just called Josephine. The girl would be here any minute. Couldn't he wait? At least spend one night... indulge them both.
Wang Xiao turned back, a smirk curling on his lips. This woman… did she really think he came here just to play with her and her daughter in bed? Well... not that he minded. But life had other demands.
He walked over. Smooth. Unpredictable. She gasped as his lips crashed onto hers. Her body softened, her knees trembling like jelly.
His words, sharp and slow, brushed against her ear. "Announce it. You're carrying my child… And you, along with your daughter, will marry me."
"Eh—?!"
His voice was like cold water, drenching her thoughts. Before she could react, he was gone... like smoke in the wind.
But his words lingered.
