His Domineering Lover
Chapter 536

Setlla thought Lucy's behaviors were abnormal today. Lucy was of a bad temper, and Candy was cold to her today.

At this late hour, Lucy was asked to run an errand in heavy snow. Usually, Lucy would refuse, let alone under bad conditions like this.

Even if Lucy liked Candy, it was still weird that she came back happily.

"Why are you looking at me?" Lucy looked bad when replaceing Setlla staring at herself.

"Well, I feel you weird today, quite different from who you are." Setlla was honest.

"Who knows how you think of me? Cut that crap. I have to get up early tomorrow. I am going to take a bath." Lucy restrained her expression in fear that Setlla would sniff out something. When taking a bathrobe out from a wardrobe, Lucy found a box nearby. She opened it without permission and found an apple inside.

"Yo, David called you out at midnight to give you an apple? How thoughtful!" There was obvious sarcasm in Lucy's words.

Setlla snatched the box from Lucy, "Don't touch others' possessions without permission, didn't your mom teach you?"

"It's just an apple. I'll buy you a hundred pounds tomorrow if you don't mind. What is the treasure? As if it is a golden apple!" Lucy said contemptuously.

After a cold snort, Setlla said, "I treasure the apple he bought for me, so what?"

"A brat like David, I didn't think highly of when freshman, and only you..." All of a sudden, Lucy noticed a shining bracelet on Setlla's wrist.

Setlla took off her coat because it was warm in the room. The bracelet was exposed. Lucy quickly grasped Setlla by the hand to check the bracelet, simple and elegant. "Whose present?" Lucy remembered that Setlla didn't wear a bracelet today. Where did this bracelet come from? This change happened because of the appearance of David. "None of your business." Setlla withdrew her hand, 'Lucy is perverted!'

"Is it from David? That's why he asked you out." Lucy felt bad at the fact that David, that straight man, bought Setlla this bracelet.

Lucy should have been David's girlfriend if he gave Lucy this bracelet rather than a scarf back then.

"Yes, a present from David, and then? Lucy, I am tired and have to get up early tomorrow morning. Please don't pester me endlessly." Setlla put the apple in her bag, for she disliked that her possessions were tainted by Lucy, even if it was only an apple.

Jealousy filled Lucy's heart, 'Screw both of you, David and Settla, I will give you hell!'

Saying nothing, Lucy went into the bathroom with fury. Setlla felt uneasy, 'What this mad woman is up to?'

Tracey was celebrating a memorable Christmas Eve in the Xia's. It was her first celebration of Christmas Eve after all these years.

When free, Tracey made a call to Candy, who at dinner sounded happy. Then Tracey didn't spare a thought on Candy anymore.

After dinner, Tracey, as requested by Johan, went to look for her presents under the Christmas trees. Actually, there were reasons for the existence of two Christmas trees.

Gifts under the left tree were prepared by Johan, while Aydan did for the right one. Adam looked expectant, though complaining it was childish.

What was the gift from his father? Adam opened a light blue striated box to replace a wooden horse.

"A wooden horse?" Tracey knew at a glance that there should be a story behind this handmade wooden horse because any ones on sales should be better-looking than this one. Adam's eyes turned red, "There is a painting about wooden horses, which my mother drew, so I liked wooden horses in childhood. He was strict with me, wishing that I could be outstanding." "Because of his expectations, I had to attend lots of extracurricular courses. For my gift in piano, he invited a world-renowned pianist to teach me."

"And there were numerous and various tutors for other subjects. My childhood is a void filled with only studying. He forbade me to buy toys as the playthings, in his opinion, would ruin one's aspirations." "I carved a wooden horse in a manual class. It was my work."

"But he thought that this stuff wasted my time, and all he needed was an elite for his company. Then he destroyed the wooden horse before me."

Tracey felt sorry for Adam, as this incident, caused by Aydan, should cast a shadow on Adam's childhood.

"Then this wooden horse?"

"It should be a work from him. That's why it's so ugly." Adam held the wooden horse tightly, though criticizing its ugliness.

This wooden horse was an apology from Aydan to Adam. Although the apology came late, Adam still felt his sincerity.

"It is exceptional. My grandfather gave me all his shares." Tracey opened a box with share transfer documents in it. Tracey was not excited at this expensive gift, as she already owned two companies.

"Grandpa puts you in charge completely. Don't let him down."

"Of course." With the documents in the hand, Tracey went back with Adam to express her thanks. Tracey had to leave now, as she still had work to do tomorrow.

Johan was considerate and didn't make Tracey stay. When the car disappeared in the snow, the old man sighed, "I didn't expect that Tracey would become the most excellent person in our family, better than you and me."

Ben nodded. Taking over Xia's Group at 22 years old, Ben remained in the Group even now, but Tracey had established her own kingdom without assistance.

'She is only 22 years old, much more excellent than I.'

"It is not bad. One should fight when young. She will feel glad when recalling this experience at her old age."

"You're right."

Tracey lied on the bed after a shower, "Adam, I am worried that there will be accidents tomorrow."

"Relax. You have checked every part several times. No accidents, don't worry, and rest peacefully." Adam kissed Tracey on the forehead.
