Xavier replied with a curt, “Mm.”

As he was about to leave, he paused at the door and turned back to fix Milly with a determined gaze. As though he feared she doubted him, he emphasised once more with resolve, “Milly, believe me.

I’ll prove it to you through my actions.”

He left after saying that.
