It would be lying to say that she wasn’t bothered at all.
Otherwise, why would she spend the whole morning getting dressed up and going to the salon? It was all to appear beautiful before him and have a lovely dinner together.
Deep down, Juliet knew from the beginning that Brantley was not the type to neglect his work for romance, especially during this critical phase of his career
Hence, she didn’t blame him.
After receiving a call from Juliet, Mikayla immediately called Carlos and told him to have dinner on his own because she needed to go with Juliet to pick Xavier up.
Because of that, Carlos held a grudge against Xavier for a long time, but Xavier couldn’t understand why.
In fact, Carlos was wondering why he had allowed Xavier to come back. If he had known that Mikayla would choose to pick Xavier up over having dinner with him, he would have made Xavier practice more, forbidding him from coming home.
Poor Xavier was resented when he had done nothing wrong.
Meanwhile, a dark red BMW Mini was cruising down the road.
“Mikayla, you’re so lucky! Do you know that Carlos is now Xosa’s latest role model husband! While driving, Juliet chatted with her friend
“Role model husband thought Mikayla as she asked, “Where did you get that?” Juliet had a knack for picking up gossip, likely from being exposed to it since childhood. Mikayla believed Juliet should help her father with his business, but Juller’s only interest was dating Brantley, much like Mikayla had been with Jaxon back then. Mikayla didn’t think highly of Brantley, but she respected Juliet’s feelings. She just hoped Brantley wouldn’t disappoint Juber the way Jaxon had disappointed her.
I didn’t even need to ask around to find out. You’ve been busy with work and your relationship, but if you had paid attention, you would have known that your fiancé is the subject of countless fantasies?” Juliet said with a mischievous grin
Mikayla was speechless. If Juliet weren’t driving, Mikayla would have flicked her forehead for talking nonsense.
I’m serious. You have no idea how many girls were swooning over your husband when he made a grand entrance and sternly warned the media yesterday” Juliet continued.
Juliet, I think it’s a waste that you’re not an author, Mikayla said.
“I know, right?” Juliet beamed, seemingly proud of herself. “Speaking of which, Mikayla the Beautiful, did you have fun with Carlos the Handsome after your date last night?” she asked mischievously.
“So you’re the spy Carlos planted beside me!” Mikayla joked, pondering, I was wondering why he seemned to know me like the back of his hand!
Juliet cried out, “How could you suspect me! I swear this is the first time! I was so surprised when I got a call from your fancer She almost hung up. thinking it was a telemarketer.
Mikayla looked at her friend and quickly changed the subject. Otherwise, the conversation would never end. “Aren’t you supposed to go on a date with Brandey tonight?”
“Yes, but he had to leave for a business trip at the last minute Juliet’s face was full of disappointment as she thought, “To think that I dressed up so nicely just to pick Xavier up in the end! I was thinking of letting him fend for himself, but karma came fast”
Seeing Juliet’s gloomy expression, Mikayla comforted her, “Brantley has always been devoted to his work. But hey, your efforts all these y paid off now that you two have finally gotten together.
“Yeah” Juliet nodded, agreeing with Mikayla.
Knowing Juliet would come around pretty quickly, Mikayla said no more.
The car arrived at Xosa International Airport. Alter the car was parking, the dou walked toward the arrival gate.
Mikayla’s appearance at the bustling airport drew a lot of attention.
With her beauty and recent headline news, it was impossible for her to go unnoticed.
Xavier’s flight was delayed by about ten minutes.

“Xavier!” Mikayla spotted him first and waved.
“Mikayla. I’m surprised to see you here!” Xavier, a cheerful young man in a brown casual outfit, approached with a luggage car, grinning and revealing a neat row of white teeth.
“You’ve tanned!” Mikayla exclaimed. Since she last saw Xavier, he had not only gotten darker but also taller, now standing nearly a head above both
“Hello? Do you not see your sister!” Juliet scoffed, giving him a playful swat with her bag. Sometimes it felt like Xavier was more Mikayla’s brother
than hers
Mikayla stood aside, giggling while watching the siblings bicker.
She and Julies grew up together, and Xavier felt like a little brother to her. With four years between them. Juliet and Xavier always bickered, but despite her carefree demeanor, Juliet truly cared for him.
Juliet’s mother died while giving birth to Xavier. Compared to Juliet, Xavier never knew what maternal love felt like because Juliet’s father raised them alone and never remarried. Thankfully, both siblings had optimistic personalities.
“Says my dear sister, who didn’t want to pick me up because she had a date Xavier teased while hiding behind Mikayla, making a face at Juliet.
“I should’ve stayed home and slept instead of coming to get you” Juliet muttered.
“I don’t care. I have Mikayla” Xavier retorted
erfect angrily.
“You!” Juliet stomped her
Mikayla had always been the peacemaker whenever they quarreled. She gave Xavier a look. “Xavier”
Whenever they were together, Mikayla always assumed the role of their older sister. As a child, she genuinely believed she was more mature than them. However, as she grew older, she realized it might have been because Juliet and Xavier lacked maternal love.
“My dear sister, don’t be so hard on your brother!” Like Juliet, Xavier always listened to Mikayla. He quickly went over to Juliet to please her
When Juliet turned away from him, he clutched his stomach dramatically and said, “I’m hungry, Juliet I didn’t have time to eat lunch?
Noticing that Xavier had become taller but thinner, Juliet felt sorry for him. “What do you feel like eating!” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Xavier winked at Mikayla triumphantly and feigned pity. “I want barbecue!”
“All right, barbecue it is,” said Juliet
The three of them happily got into the BMW Mini. In the car, Xavier wouldn’t stop complaining about how dreadful the military base was
“You don’t know how awful the food there is. I transferred to another military base, which is stricter than before. And my boss is so fiercel He punished me on the first day!” Xavier complained, ignoring the fact that he was at fault, and rambled on, “But to be honest, my boss is drop–dead gorgeous. Hey. liven.”
Mikayla and Juliet glanced at each other in silence, turning up the music in the car to drown out Xavier’s voice. He’s a man. How is he so talkative? Will Mr. Klein be pissed if he finds out the military base turned his beloved son into this!” Mikayla wondered.
