CHAPTER 334
As if on cue, all their heads whipped to the side where Xander stood with his hands tucked into his pocket.
"Your…" He lifted his palm just in time to stop them from greeting him formally.
Smiles appeared on their faces as they gave a silent nod. Taking the cue, Astoria pushed Jade a little, sending her into the arms of her waiting boyfriend.
"Toria," Jade called out in protest but to no avail, Astoria had done what she wanted to do. "Stubborn girl," Jade spat out and rested her head against Xander's chest.
"Ignore her Toria. She is safely in my arms yet she has the mouth to scold you." Jade pouted at him. Leave it to Xander to tease her at every given chance.
Everyone burst out laughing. If only he knew what they were discussing before his arrival. He would know just how much she loved being in his arms.
Lowering his eyes to her, Xander called with a gentle voice, "Hey love."
"Hmm?"
