Chapter 1096

Xyla froze in place, and her gaze was fixed on his neck. And when the bodyguard made a turn at an
intersection, Xyla lost balance and threw herself in his arms.

Throughout the whole chaotic disarray, she kissed his skin with her lips, leaving a lipstick mark behind,
and Yorrick’s eyes dimmed immediately.

Seeing that they were already starting to kiss, the bodyguard got the message and accelerated even
more.

Xyla propped her arms against his body, got herself up, saw the lipstick mark, and quickly wiped it off for
him. “I’m sorry, I have lipstick on.”

Yorrick grasped her wrist. “Are you kidding me?” “Why should I kid you?” Xyla felt a lot dizzier all of a
sudden and covered her mouth.

Yorrick realized something instantly and grabbed her by the shoulders immediately. “Xyla, you better hold
it back,”

She vomited on his pants. Yorrick’s expression dimmed in a matter of seconds. He turned his face away
and lowered the window to dissipate the strong smell in the car.

When they arrived at the hotel, Yorrick dragged Xyla into the bathroom and threw her into the shower.

She fell to the marble floor, and the pain stiffened her palms.

Yorrick twisted the tap of the shower, and the water gushed out of the sprinkler and

spattered directly on her body. After vomiting in the car and getting splashed with icy cold water, Xyla had
almost sobered up. “Aaah! What are you doing!?”



Yorrick turned off the shower. “Are you sober now?” Xyla was drenched from head to toe and was in an
embarrassing mess.

Yorrick squatted in front of her, pinched her chin, and made her look upward. “Did you do all these on
purpose?”

Xyla flung his hand away. “You, get out! I want to take a bath!”

Yorrick was so exasperated that he scoffed, pulled her up from the floor, and pushed her against the
wall.” Do you know what taking a bath at the man’s residence means?”

The tiled wall felt cold, and her clothes were stuck to her wet body, so she started shivering. Her pale
face made her look even more tender and weaker after being drenched.

Yorrick pinched her chin with his fingers and turned her face away, “I’m not interested in looking at your
sickly appearance. Get yourself washed and cleaned before coming out.”.

He turned on the shower, put the retractable showerhead aside, and went out after the water started to
heat up.



Xyla leaned against the wall and took a deep breath.

‘Getting drunk is dangerous, getting drunk is too dangerous.’

She took a hot bath and walked out in a bathrobe. However, because of the cold temperature of the air
conditioner, she sneezed.

Yorrick had already changed out of his suit. He stood in the mini kitchen and brewed a cup of hot tea. He
then walked out with a cup of tea in his hand and saw Xyla wrapping herself in a blanket that she had
found out of nowhere and sitting on the couch cross-legged.



He burst into laughter, walked over, and placed the teacup in front of her. “If I ever take care of you the
next time you’re drunk, I’ll give up my last name and use yours for the rest of my life.”

“I didn’t ask you to take care of me, did I?” Xyla felt baffled as she picked up the teacup and took a sip of
the hot tea, and her whole body warmed up instantly.

Yorrick sat opposite her with his legs crossed and stared at her. He did not know why he would care to
even get involved in all this chaos.

‘Even though I’ve not seen her for half a month, this woman has never gotten out of my eyesight. I can
see her on posters, news, and advertising screens in office buildings. She’s literally everywhere.

‘Wouldn’t she straight up conquer the world if she wasn’t banned for a short period?’ Xyla raised her
head and met his gaze. She was startled and put down the teacup. “I’m sorry about tonight.

“Since you’ve apologized, I’ll let tonight slide. However, whatever happened tonight will never happen
again .” He smiled, stood up, and walked back to the room without looking back.

Xyla was sitting alone in the living room. She scratched her hair and lowered her head.

‘That was ridiculous. I swear in the name of God that I’ll never drink, never again!”

Yorrick lay flat on the bed and fell asleep, but he heard Xyla’s voice while he was half-awake.

“Mr. Hathaway?”

He opened his eyes slightly. The lights surrounding him were intense and dazzling.

Xyla was lying on the other side of the bed, staring at him with the side of her forehead resting on her
hand. She was wearing his white shirt-the smooth flesh underneath the neckline was only partially
shrouded-while her long fair legs swayed back and forth, and there was a faint smile on her face.
