BXBX NOVEL Chapter 297: Back to Xianthera (3)
They crashed to the ground in a chaotic tangle.
Whoosh!
As they fell to the ground, Amelia\'s fists began to rain down on Wang Xiao, her movements sharp.
Pfttt....
Despite the onslaught, Wang Xiao couldn\'t help but chuckle, deftly dodging each strike with a surprising nimbleness.
Inbetween her flurried punches, he chuckled, "Hey hey, do you really want to murder your husband?" His words, light yet tinged with a playful seriousness, seemed to momentarily pierce her fiery veil.
"!"
His words seemed to hit a nerve within Amelia, halting her motions as if someone had pressed pause on her emotions.
Her fists hung suspended in the air, captured delicately by Wang Xiao, who initially looked on with mild amusement.
??
However, his expression swiftly shifted as droplets began to fall onto his face—tears, not from his own eyes but from hers.
Tick...
Tick...
Each droplet echoed in the silence, Wang Xiao\'s heart skipped a beat as he looked up, startled, to see Amelia\'s eyes—sapphire deep and shimmering with unshed tears.
"Why... Why did you come back?" The words tumbled from Amelia\'s lips in a broken sob, her hands instinctively finding their way to his chest, seeking something steady.
"!"
The contact jolted Wang Xiao, gently, he lifted his hand to her cheek, his fingers brushing away the wet trails of her tears. "Amelia..." His voice was a soft murmur, filled with a tenderness that seemed to dissolve the last of her resolve.
Thud!
Overwhelmed by the moment, Amelia\'s strength waned, and she leaned heavily against him.
Her body lose all it\'s strength, and she collapsed into his embrace, the barriers between them melting away for the first time in what felt like forever.
Wang Xiao held her close, a protective arm wrapping around her, as he too closed his eyes, giving in to the closeness that had been missing for too long.
"..."
In that quiet embrace, surrounded by the faint ticking of an unseen clock, Wang Xiao\'s hands tenderly caressed Amelia\'s head, his voice controlled yet filled with concern. "Amelia... What happened...?"
"Why... Why did you come back now..." Amelia\'s voice was weak, barely above a whisper, her eyes red and swollen from the tears she had shed.
Wang Xiao gave a wry smile, seeing through the tough exterior she always projected. "Why shouldn\'t I have come back?" he countered softly, his lips brushing lightly over her tear-stained cheeks in a gentle kiss.
"You shouldn\'t have!... Why..." Amelia\'s voice cracked as she spoke, and she threw her hands up in a gesture of helplessness and frustration.
Wang Xiao, "..."
Amelia\'s eyes, red and swollen from crying, met his gaze, taking a deep, shuddering breath, she steadied herself against the surge of emotions. "I... I lost our child," she whispered, the words barely audible, yet they struck Wang Xiao like a physical blow.
"!"
His face darkened, and for a moment, he could only stare at her in disbelief and surprise.
"When you left, I found out I was pregnant," Amelia continued, her voice gaining a little strength as she delved into the painful memories. "I wanted to tell you, but you were gone, and then... then I miscarried. It was too much, Xiao, and... I... I was alone." Her voice cracked, and fresh tears spilled over, tracing silent paths down her cheeks.
"..."
Seeing his blank expression, Amelia\'s panic surged, and she clutched at his clothes tighter. "I... I tried my best to—"
"Shh... It\'s just a child, we can make one more," Wang Xiao interrupted, placing his fingers gently over her lips to silence her.
"!"
Amelia\'s eyes widened in shock at his words, a mix of hurt and disbelief flickering across her face. "You!" she exclaimed, her voice thick with emotion as she flushed with anger.
"You—insensitive prick!" Her voice shook as she leaned in and bit down on his shoulder in a mix of frustration and desperation.
Crunch!
"!"
Wang Xiao furrowed his brows in surprise at her reaction, but then his expression lightened into laughter.
"Hey, hey, don\'t blame it on me," he chuckled, gently trying to ease the tension between them. "You were the first one to say that saving me was the worst decision."
!?
Amelia pulled back slightly, staring at him with a fiery gaze.
The raw edge in his laughter didn\'t amuse her; it stung, deepening her upset.
His attempt at humor in such a delicate moment felt like a misstep, atleast in her eyes.
"It still is!" she exclaimed, her voice laced with exhaustion and frustration, as she couldn\'t help but rub her swollen eyes.
As she grumbled, Wang Xiao\'s lips curved into a faint smile, observing her.
He watched her intently, sensing a flicker of emotion in Amelia\'s eyes as she looked at him lying there.
A pang of curiosity stirred within him, prompting him to wonder what was going through her mind.
Yet confusion painted his face when he caught sight of her leaning in, her hair blurring his vision.
He blinked, trying to clear his view, only to realize that this woman was attempting to kiss him.
"Mmgnh~~"
Amelia whole body quivered, a sense of energy stirring within her.
Her hands moved frantically as she searched his body, her touch both desperate and relentless.
This sudden change in her demeanor caught him off guard, as he was usually the one who surprised others.
Today, however, it seemed that he was the one being caught off balance, like a gust of wind shifting the weather unexpectedly.
His hand instinctively shot out and grabbed her head.
"Mngh~"
Amelia appeared to be driven by an insatiable craving, her whole body itching with heat. Her slender fingers rifled against his fabric in search of something to extinguish it until they caught a bulge over his pants.
She leaned in, her breath tickling his neck as she whispered with a mix of plea and desire.
"Give me..." Her voice trailed off, teasing against his skin. "Give me... another child..."
Gasp!
For a moment, his mind fought to process her request, to grasp the depths of her longing in her eyes.
Feeling her hands slide underneath his clothes, and her eyes demanding and misty with pleading, Wang Xiao tenderly caressed her face.
"Amelia... Not now, I need you to come outside world with me first," he said with a sense of urgency.
"!"
"Enough!" Amelia\'s voice cracked, her eyes brimming with tears. "You only show up when you need something! And you don\'t even have half an hour for me!?"
"..."
