evler glanced sideways at Lily beside him. He couldn't quite explain what mindset had driven him to bring Lily
here, but he was very pleased with her tatal performance. Terence paused for a moment and said softly, "It
doesn't matter where she's from. The important thing right now is that | only want to focus on my
"This kid," Marika said, slightly annoyed. "There's no end to your work, but fate waits for no one. Don't miss it!"
"Mrs. Devereux Senior has a point. Mr. Devereux should first consider this significant step in his life," Xavier
agreed.
To Richard and Marika, it sounded as if Xavier was unhappy about the Devereux Group's consideration of
entering the real estate business.
Richard changed the subject immediately and said, "He's definitely making excuses to not get married. If you
know of anyone suitable, do introduce them to us."

"We'll need to know if Terence has any preferences or standards," Shane replied before adding, "Does it have to
be a match in social status?"
Marika opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Terence, "There's no need. She just has to be
compatible."
"There are plenty of excellent women out there."
In a moment, the parents began discussing in earnest. Lily had stayed out of the conversation throughout. She
seriously wondered when Xavier had becso childish and ridiculous.
She had allowed him to take control of the situation from the moment she entered the room and sat down.
Lily could feel Xavier's gaze occasionally drifting toward her, especially when the discussion was about Terence's
future partner. His gaze had never left
her.
Lily concluded that she shouldn't have taken the day off to do something so meaningless. But if she hadn't
come, she wouldn't get her living expenses. About an hour late, the gathering finally ended. The Devereux
family left first. After their departure, Tamara chatted with Xavier for a while. "What do you think about the
Devereux family's matter?" Tamara asked Xavier.
Xavier kept it short and to the point. "There's nothing to be wary of. They can't shake the Fulton's foundation."
"Then why didn't you just say yes?" Tamara frowned. "You kept pushing them to focus on Terence's marriage
first. Doesn't that seem like you are rejecting them?"
"I'm just being honest," Xavier said with a cold expression and slipped a hand into his pocket. "He should focus
on marriage first, then his career." Xavier thought it was better than Terence having all the tin the world to
go on exhibition visits with Lily. He felt that Terence had no sense of boundaries. Lily was Xavier's wife, after all.
Tamara couldn't understand Xavier's unusual behavior and said, "Is this something that concerns you?"
"My dear wife, it's getting late. We should go hnow," Shane cover and wrapped his arm around Tamara
as they walked to the car. "You little brat, stop making your mom angry."
Xavier had cin the scar as Shane and Tamara, and he would ride in Lily's car to return home. Lily
respectfully saw Shane and Tamara off and finally got the chance to speak to Xavier in private.

"When are you going to givemy allowance? Lily asked.
"Is money the only thing you have to talk about?" Xavier leaned against the car, his posture lazy and casual with
an air of superiority.
"Didn't you say you would givethe money?" Lily really had nothing else to say.
But Xavier looked at her stubbornly, his raised eyebrow making his meaning unmistakably clear.
Lily summarized his behavior that day and questioned him, "Are you so bothered aboutand Terence because
you're jealous?"
The moment she said that, Xavier narrowed his eyes, and a wave of doubt surged from deep within him. He
wondered why he had to bring Lily here too.
After all, she had been asking for a formal recognition of her status for the longest time. She wouldn't fall in love
with someone else.
He wasn't jealous. Xavier sneered "Jealous? Are you worth it? I'm just giving you the chance to step out in the
open as my wife. So, how does it feel?"
