Chapter 226 She's Nothing But Used Goods
Xavier abruptly stopped when he was inches away from Marie's lips. "I admit that I'm not an animal like him. Otherwise, you'll be bearing a child for me five years ago..." He said, aggrieved.
Marie did not take any alcohol and was entirely sober. However, she did not understand what Xavier was talking about.
Who was not like an animal?
Who was the animal?
Who bore a child for someone else five years ago?
Marie's passions died down after listening to Xavier's words.
Drunk people had a common problem. They would say certain truths that they would not while they were sober!
She did not want to miss any truths the drunk man might divulge. She hoped that he would tell her more secrets.
"What... are you talking about... ah..." Just when Marie opened her mouth, her passions were rekindled by the man's hand.
Xavier brought her to the bed, closed his eyes, and pinned her down. He placed one of his hands behind her head and fondled her cheeks with the other. "Why couldn’t you wait for me, just for another day? I've already prepared the money for you. How did you agree to sell your body to a fifty- something-year-old man? What were you thinking? Weren't you disgusted?" He mumbled.
Eventually, he found out that the person who had given Bianca financial and medical resources was not a fifty-something-year-old man but the young and handsome Luke Crawford. However, the information presented to the middleman and Bianca was not so.
"Are you an idiot? Hmm?" Xavier held the woman in his hands with the utmost tenderness, and their foreheads touched each other. The alcohol in his system gave him nothing but agony.
He continued to divulge his sentiments because of the alcohol. ’ Don’t you know, five years ago, I wanted to go to the hospital to meet your father with liver disease and tell him that his daughter had sold her body to a halfcentury-old man in exchange for his life..." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Marie's eyes opened wide in shock when she heard that.
Her passions had entirely died down and would not be rekindled no matter how the man fondled her...
'Five years ago... liver disease...
'Isn't he talking about Kevin Rayne, Bianca's father?
'The time and circumstances matched.
'Sold... sold her body?'
Marie was at a loss.
She tried to recall what Xavier had said earlier and analyzed the main points. 'Was Xavier going to buy Bianca's body five years ago but failed? Bianca was bought by a fifty-something-year-old man?
'Was she bought to bear someone else's child?'
Marie had no response to the shocking revelation.
Marie came to her senses when she noticed the bulge in Xavier's pants, indicating that his urges were still raging.
'Did he think that I am Bianca?
'Is that why he wants to continue?
'Were those words meant for Bianca?'
Marie recalled that Xavier had not been interested in her recently. Even after both of them had taken off their clothes, he would abruptly stop and lose all interest. She could only leave the room dejectedly.
She was wondering if he had been facing any health problems lately. Perhaps he had made out with too many women.
Perhaps he was bored of making out with women and shifted his interest to men.
From Xavier's pants, Marie could tell that he was still interested in women.
In fact, he was at the peak of his health!
Marie could feel tears welling up in her eyes, though she could not tell if that was because of sorrow or anger. Was she that unattractive?
She resigned to fate that she was not as lucky as Leia, but she could not bear it when Bianca was better than her! How dare she?
"Look at me carefully... who am I?" Marie was wholly devoted to Xavier. Xavier provided her with everything, and she admitted that he was the man for her.
However, she could not bear being mistaken for Bianca.
Marie had hated Bianca ever since her mother was married into the Rayne family and she saw Bianca for the first time!
If Bianca considered herself to be the legitimate daughter of the Rayne family, Marie would drive her away and claim everything that she owned!
Xavier told her everything that he wanted to tell Bianca. To Marie, that was the highest insult.
Marie looked at the man tearfully yet defiantly as he forcefully pinched her jaw. "We're not born from the same mother or the same father. We don't even look alike. How did you mistake me for her..."
Marie did not look like Bianca at all. Not one bit.
Under the influence of alcohol, Xavier seemed to have stepped into a fantasy world. The more he thought about Bianca, the more he considered every woman around him to be Bianca.
Xavier narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the woman on the bed. His brow ridge and his sculpted double eyelids trembled slightly. Bianca's face and Marie's voice overlapped. He could not tell who the person under him was.
That caused him to be inexplicably furious. No matter who the woman on his bed was, he had to reclaim his pride as a man. He shoved the woman toward the door. "Get lost! What right do you have to sleep on my bed? There are a thousand types of beauty, but you're so painfully ugly!"
Xavier did not want to admit that he cared for any woman, especially that filthy, despicable woman!
She was nothing more than used goods that had given birth to Luke Crawford's children!
Meanwhile, Bianca rode on the bus to visit her grandfather. After making sure that her grandfather was healthy and he had been keeping up with his medication, she went to the hospital, where her father
was.
At dinnertime, Luke sent her a message to ask her whereabouts.
Bianca replied: [I'm staying the night with my father today. We have a lot to catch up on.]
Luke did not want to intrude upon the precious interaction time between father and daughter. He replied to her that he would be returning to the small town the next morning but back to A City that night. He would send the children to school in the morning, but he hoped that Bianca could fetch them back from school.
Bianca replied: [No problem.]
Soon, it was the next day.
Luke spent his day going around the small town. He had a lot of childhood memories there, which made him at ease.
Before he returned to A City, a courier arrived at the courtyard. "Package for Bianca Rayne!"
A female employee ran out and was about to sign the delivery slip when she saw her boss walk over imposingly, take the package, and sign the delivery slip.
She saw the boss wield his signature pen with his slender and well-jointed fingers, then tossed the package into his car...
Everyone in the courtyard was surprised.
"Woof woof!" Even the puppy in the courtyard barked as though it could not believe that the boss had claimed someone else's package as his own.
Luke got into the car and drove away toward A City. If the other people would misunderstand his gesture, that would be exactly what he wanted.
