Trapped in a Secret Marriage with a Dangerous Billionaire - Chapter 143

Chapter 143: A Natural Aphrodisiac

“You are all about keeping up appearances. Do you even care to know how much I’m suffering right now?” Olivia asked, her tone dripping with disbelief.

Even though she didn’t expect her mother to fully support her decision to get a divorce she at least wanted some kind of comfort from her but instead, she got something worse.

What kind of mother tells her daughter to stay in a relationship she is not happy in for the sake of appearances?

“Do you think I’m oblivious to it?” Stella retorted. “I know everything, it just…”

“No, you don’t know anything mother!” Olivia declared angrily, her eyes shimmering with tears. “I don’t care about what you say, I’m going to divorce Owen. And by the way, do you even know what he said to me?”

Stella looked her in the eyes and said, “What new statement did he make that no other person has heard before?”

Stella clearly didn’t care about Owen disregarding her daughter just as long as he didn’t raise his hand on her.

On the other hand, Olivia was more heartbroken than earlier hearing that statement. “Mum, Owen said my child doesn’t belong to him. Does that make any sense to you? How do you want me to remain married to him with this kind of crazy accusations? Do you even know what that means?”

“Olivia, you are just making a mountain out of a molehill,” Stella said without a care. “As long as you are innocent, whatever Owen says doesn’t matter. Just remain married to him until you give birth to your son and then, you can leave to teach Owen and his family a lesson.”

“I’m not going to listen to you. I’m going to ask Owen for a divorce,” Olivia insisted, having made up her mind, but Stella stood her ground.

“Olivia, you don’t know what I have endured to come this far and last this long. You will listen to me on this one.”

Olivia scoffed, turning her back to her, she trotted away. “I hope you won’t ask me to come back because you missed me again,” she said on her way out.

Stella sighed softly and could only watch her leave.

“I don’t know why young women these days are so impatient,” she muttered under her breath, discouraged by Olivia’s stubborn attitude.

Xander’s Private Residence.

Xander returned from work a little earlier than usual and was surprised to hear Aurora’s voice coming from the kitchen. He hadn’t expected that she would be home by that time.

“Is that my wife?” Xander asked the butler as they walked into the living room.

“Yes, Sir. Mrs. Scott is in the kitchen,” the butler replied with a small nod.

Xander’s brows furrowed slightly but just as he was about to head into the kitchen to find his wife, she stepped in with Nene following behind her. Instantly, the smile on Aurora’s lips grew.

“Darling, you are back,” she said, holding a glass of smoothie in her hand as she came to his side to welcome him properly.

Xander kissed her lips softly and stepped back, his brows dancing interestingly. “Is that pineapple and banana I taste?”

“Yes,” Aurora smirked as she glanced at the glass in her hand before moving her gaze back to his face as Nene and the butler chose this moment to take their leave. “I added a few other stuff, but we are going to play a game.”

“Now my interest is piqued,” Xander chuckled as he took her hand and led to their bedroom upstairs. “I think I tasted something milky, but the taste is weird. What is it?”

“Coconut and Tiger nut milk,” Aurora answered with a smile as they walked into their bedroom and shut the door. “I added dates for sweetness.”

Xander draped his suit jacket on the armrest of the sofa in the room and turned to her. He naturally grabbed the glass from her hand. “Let me drink a little more,” he said as he brought the glass cup to his lips.

When he finished, he handed it back to her and licked her lips. “I haven’t tried this combination of fruits before. What’s this smoothie for?”

As soon as Aurora heard that question, her lips twitched. She gave him a meaningful glance as she drank from her glass. “You don’t need to know.”

Xander’s gaze narrowed as he put his hands on his waist. “Sweetheart, should I be worried?”

“Why should you be worried when I’m drinking the smoothie just fine?” Aurora asked as she went to sit at the foot of the bed. She drank more from the glass and passed it to him. “You seem to like it. You should have some more.”

Xander eyed her sceptically before stepping forward to take the glass from her. Since he trusted that his wife wouldn’t poison him, he drank the smoothie and finished it while at it.

“I hope you don’t mind,” he said, lifting the empty glass to her as he stuck out his tongue to lick the streaks of the thick liquid from his lower lips.

“It’s fine, we can make more when we need it,” Aurora said as she watched him with a meaningful smile on her lips.

Xander became uncomfortable with her gaze but for a brief moment, he looked away and set the glass down at the sitting area before returning to her side. He stood in front of her and cast his scrutinizing gaze on her.

“Now, can you tell me what that smoothie you fed me is for because your reaction is saying a lot, and I’m starting to get worried.”

Aurora watched his shadow looming over her and bit back a chuckle and said with a serious. “It’s a natural aphrodisiac drink.”

“What?” Xander raised a questioning brow. He thought he heard wrong the first time until she repeated her statement.

“It’s a natural aphrodisiac drink to boost your libido. You won’t get tired when we are doing it, and you will keep wanting more.”

Xander narrowed his eyes as he closed in on her. “Do I look like I need any enhancer to satisfy you?”
