Chapter 31 My Wife Chapter 31 My Wife +20 Free Coins As for her, she'd already had a child once before. She was a divorcee, while Sebastian was the wealthiest man in the area. All of a sudden, Xylia felt a strong hand around her waist as she was pulled into his embrace. Their bodies pressed so close against each other, she could feel the heat from his body. "I like women with experience. She can satisfy me. Who do you think you are?" Sebastian sneered before he leaned in to kiss Xylia's cheek. Xylia felt her cheeks flush. Vivian's face turned red as well from anger, "Seb, you should have told me that's what you wanted. I ..." "I already have a wife," Sebastian interrupted, looking coldly at Vivian. "Stay away from her. If I find out you do such things to her again, I'll make sure you face the consequences, even if our families are close." Vivian's eyes turned red, and she turned away, running out of there. Xylia was still a little dazed, and she asked, "You like women who have been married before?" "Yeah," Sebastian answered, taking Xylia's hand and heading out. "Happy now? Will you still think that others are better than you now?" Xylia's voice was low, barely above a whisper. "I ... I didn't expect it. After all, Ms. Foster is perfect." "Perfect? How is she perfect? She humiliated you in public. If not for the fact that everyone was showing respect to our family, it would have been much worse today." Sebastian's voice was cold. "Do you really think she wanted to see who plays the piano better?" Xylia didn't dare to continue the conversation. She had realized it as well. Although Vivian had managed to stop most of the whispering in the end, that was most probably attributed to respect for the Jackmans. Neither of them spoke again, and Xylia was tugged into the car. "Why didn't you just say you were my wife? Then, no one would have dared to bully you." Sebastian asked, frowning. "...I didn't want to embarrass you." Xylia continued in a soft voice, "Besides, we have a contract, so we'll get divorced eventually. It might not be a good idea for too many people to know about us." Sebastian responded, "Fine, if something like this happens next time, I'll ask Shadow-1 and Shadow-2 to ignore it." Sebastian smiled even though he was still annoyed, "After all, they're just words. There's no danger to your life." Xylia balled her hand into a fist tightly. There was a part of her that wanted to agree, simply out of pride. However, Xylia knew that she had yet to find her footing among the wealthy. She took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. 1/3 4:02 pm G P Chapter 31 My Wife "Got it. I'm sorry. This won't happen again." +20 Free Coins Sebastian let out a small sigh, "My mother brought you here tonight to introduce you to everyone as my girlfriend. She was also going to take the opportunity to improve our relationship with the Fosters. However, now that Vivian has behaved this way, I won't let your first public appearance be at the Jackman Residence. I'll handle my mother. Don't let anyone bully you again." Xylia listened to him quietly, feeling a storm rage within her. Sebastian had referred to her as his girlfriend since they had not had a wedding ceremony yet. In Brighton, a marriage certificate. alone was not enough, they would need to get officially engaged and have a wedding. Xylia had always assumed that since they had entered into a contract marriage, they would not follow through with the other formalities. Sebastian's mother, Eleanor, had never mentioned it either. As such, Xylia had assumed Eleanor had no intention of holding a wedding for them and would just hold a banquet to acknowledge her status in their family. Xylia had expected a banquet similar to what had been done this time for Eleanor's birthday banquet. Xylia was surprised that Sebastian had brought it up now. After all, even if he liked experienced women, it was hard to believe that he would hold a grand wedding for a woman like her. Xylia thought she must have misunderstood him. However, Sebastian continued, "I've asked someone to look into it. The dates for next month or the following month are good dates to get married. Your work at the hospital is slowing down, so you should go and try on some dresses." "What?" Xylia asked in surprise. Xylia couldn't quite keep up with Sebastian's flow of thought. Sebastian tapped her head lightly, his low voice sounding in her ear. "Don't you want to wear a wedding dress once for me?" Xylia glanced at him, slowly opening her mouth to speak. However, Sebastian interrupted her calmly, "Even if it is a contract marriage, the Jackmans still have to hold a wedding. We can definitely afford to do so." After a short pause, Xylia spoke, "Okay, thank you. I assumed we weren't going to have a wedding." Sebastian glanced at her, smiling lightly. "Aren't you very confident in your work? Why is your confidence shaken the moment it comes to marriage? Just because you've been married once before?" Xylia's face flushed. The last thing she wanted to face was addressed so directly by Sebastian, and she gripped the hem of her clothes tightly. Xylia had to admit she was indeed a traditional woman. Although she pursued her career as she wanted, when it came to marriage, her parents had taught her to be devoted to one person, just like they had been. Within the circle of the wealthy, men were more valuable the more times they were married. However, it wasn't the same for women. Her marriage to Sebastian had nothing to do with love. However, at the same time, she did not dare to face the fact that this was her second marriage. 2/3 4:03 pm G Chapter 31 My Wife +20 Free Coins Sebastian spoke calmly, "No matter what you think, you're now Mrs. Jackman. I'm not going to be held responsible for my actions. if someone tries to bully you again..." 3/3 4:03 pm G P
