Chapter 174: Dark Eyes

Next Morning.

The first thing Iris did when she woke up was look for Xavier immediately. She knew he was in the home office because he did that almost every morning.

And since the incident where she teleported into his office while he was receiving guests, Iris never did that again. She always knocked on his office to get his permission to enter.

But now, the door slowly opened before he knocked. She heard Xavier’s voice greet her cheerfully.

"Good morning, Iris," Xavier said as he stood up from his seat and walked towards her. "How was your sleep? You look fresh and beautiful as always..." He holds her hand and brings her inside.

"Hi, good morning, Xavier... my sleep was okay." Iris smiled at him, even though her smile didn’t quite reach her eyes because she was in a rush and wanted to see the picture Xavier had drawn for her.

She needed to see the picture to confirm whether Xavier could deliver what she had told him last night.

"Do you want to see the picture?" Xavier asked. He could guess her expression without her asking when he saw her nod. He asked her to wait for him on the sofa.

Later,

After Xavier took the iPad to his office table, he joined her and offered the iPad for her to check the result. He patiently waited while looking at her expression.

...

Iris was shocked when she saw the picture. It matched her memory of Eric’s face perfectly.

She couldn’t help but praise Xavier in her heart. He was indeed talented, taking what she had told him last night and capturing various features of Eric to create this perfect picture.

"Xavier, you’re so talented! This picture is exactly as I remember it." Iris showed the picture to Xavier, to which he responded with a smile.

"Are you sure this is a drawing!? You didn’t visit Eric to take his photo, right?" Iris playfully teased him when she saw the proud smile on his face.

"Hahaha," suddenly, Xavier’s laughter surprised Iris. "No need to praise me, darling. I only need you here," he called her to sit on his lap, but Iris refused.

Iris immediately stood up.

"Xavier, I need to clean myself and have my breakfast," she said, quickly leaving the room.

He could only chuckle, watching Iris run like a little bunny with flushed cheeks.

’I know what you’re thinking, darling,’ Xavier conveyed his voice through Iris’ mind. ’Don’t worry, I will find a solution to our problem,’ he reassured her. Then, he slowly rose from the sofa and walked over to the glass window, gazing at the scenery outside.

Xavier had grown impatient with Lucian. He had asked Lucian to relay his message to God, but after several weeks, Lucian had not mentioned the matter.

At times, Xavier wondered if the old geezer Lucian might have dementia, causing him to forget about the request. During their last meeting, he had wanted to ask Lucian about it, but he got distracted by Iris’s painful condition.

Xavier thought about calling Lucian today. He couldn’t let Iris wait.

...

’What do you mean?’ Iris’s voice sounded in Xavier’s mind.

The corners of Xavier’s lips formed a gentle smile before he answered her, ’Ms. Darkwood apologized to you because, until today, I never granted our wedding night. I know you’ve been concerned about that, right?’ he asked casually. Still, Iris nearly stumbled upon hearing his words.

She can’t help but scold him inwardly, ’Xavier, why are you getting more shameless!?’

Who on earth was thinking about a wedding night? They didn’t even have a wedding ceremony. Maybe she would have admitted it if he had said it a few weeks ago. At that time, she often mused, ’Why doesn’t Xavier ever touch her?’

But recently, she had learned from Justin that vampires couldn’t engage in romantic activities with humans. If they did, humans would die. Upon discovering this, she began to understand why Xavier always avoided such activities with her. As a result, she gradually let go of her desires. For now, kissing him was enough for her.

’Xavier, don’t talk nonsense. I’m not thinking about that, okay!’ She snapped.

’Huh!? Really? But why does your face say otherwise?’ Xavier asked as Iris entered the bathroom. She gasped in shock, observing how red her face had become.

She quickly splashed her face with cold water to lower her body temperature, particularly her flushed face.

...

While Iris was busy calming her mind from what Xavier had said about their intimate night, Xavier could feel Niles approaching his house at the same time.

Xavier narrowed his eyes in a particular direction. Before long, he spotted Niles and Justin arriving at Willow Tree. He allowed the two to enter his office.

After they all sat, Xavier asked Niles, "Did Killian finish his task?"

"Yes, Milord," Niles replied, then handed Xavier a black folder.

Upon reading the report, Xavier was surprised to find the completed information on Iris’s killer.

’So his name is Eric Hester—’ Xavier spoke to himself while reading the files. A vein popped up on his forehead when he reached the last page.

Xavier’s expression suddenly turned cold. He stared at Niles intently and asked, "Is Killian sure about the report on the last page?"

"Yes, Milord. Killian obtained CCTV footage. You can watch it yourself," Niles offered his cell phone to Xavier.

After Xavier viewed the video footage, Niles proceeded to explain, "Killian couldn’t find any trace of that person and didn’t know what kind of creature he is—"

"Demon! He is a demon!" Xavier’s icy voice surprised Niles and Justin.

"Demon? Milord, how do you know?" Niles, who had watched the video footage multiple times, was taken aback.

Xavier didn’t respond to Niles immediately. He returned Niles’ cell phone while thinking about something. After a few minutes, he looked at Niles again.

"Before that man vanished, his eyes turned dark."

Niles and Justin rewatched the video, and only now did they notice it. They might have never seen it if Xavier hadn’t pointed it out.
