Chapter 202
Xavier's fingertip brushed against Lily's lips, smudging the lipstick she had just applied. Her soft cheeks against
his rouch reminded him of last night, her face leaning softly into his chest. "I won't give you another chance to
pull any tricks."
Lily couldn't avoid his touch as his cool fingertips trailed from her cheek to her neck and shoulder. A tingling
sensation ran through her, and she bit her lip. "What do you mean?" "Timothy, drive."
"Yes, Mr. Fulton!"
With barely a hitch, the car smoothly merged into the traffic as Timothy stepped on the accelerator.
Lily squirmed in her seat. "Where are you taking me?"

"Home." Xavier's thin lips parted, his tone icy. "You're not allowed to leave the house until the one-month
cooling-off period is over."
"Xavier, you're seriously out of your mind!" Lily struggled harder. "This is false imprisonment. It's illegal!"
Xavier smirked, pressing his tongue against his cheek. "When you leaked the photos to the media, did you stop
to think about the law?"
Lily clutched his sleeve with one hand, protesting, "I didn't give the photos to the media! Don't you believe me?"
To Xavier, her resistance was as insignificant as a kitten's scratch, and her words barely registered.
Realizing that her efforts were futile, Lily gave up trying to resist.
With a single hand, he pinned her so firmly that her body was pressed tightly against his, leaving her nestled in
his arms. She could only pull out her phone and message Nadia to ask if remote work was possible.
It was still too early for work, and Nadia hadn't responded. At 8:30 am, Lily was brought back to the residence
she had once shared with Xavier.
The familiarity hit her as soon as she stepped inside, but she had no tto dwell on her emotions. Xavier
grabbed her by the collar like a helpless puppy and tossed her onto the couch without any regard for her dignity.
"Ugh!" She bounced on the soft couch and let out a muffled groan.
Xavier stood before her, removing his jacket and unbuttoning his cuffs, clearly not heading to the office.
"Are you planning to watch24/7?" Lily sat up, glaring at him angrily. "Don't you think it's inappropriate for us
to live under the sroof like this?" Xavier looked down at her, scrutinizing her from head to toe. "What's
inappropriate about it? Don't get any ideas. | have no interest in a woman like you." .He had brought her back for
surveillance, not for intimacy. Sleeping with her? That would be giving her exactly what she wanted.
Lily had never thought Xavier could act so extreme. There were still more than 20 days left in the one-month
cooling-off period.
For a couple on the verge of divorce, living under the sroof was nothing but awkwardness and frustration.
Even a single glance at each other could spoil the mood, so why put up with it?

"What about the Nova Group? Don't you have work to do?" She tried a different approach.
Xavier shot her a glance. "I only said you can't leave this villa." As for him, he was free to cand go as he
pleased.
Lily restrained the curse that almost escaped her lips, her eyes seething with anger.
True to his word, Xavier had Timothy call in a few bodyguards to block every possible escape route around the
villa, ensuring no blind spots.
To prevent Lily from contacting the outside world or trying any tricks, Xavier decided to work from hmost of
the time. He would only leave the villa
for unavoidable matters
Lily received a message from Nadia informing her that remote work wasn't an option. She would have to extend
her leave if she needed more toff. Nadia also reminded her that she would be automatically dismissed if her
personal leave exceeded half a month. However, Lily had already been on leave
for a week
