Chapter 299 Consequences of Their Actions.

When Milly stirred at dawn, Xavier had already departed, sparing her from potential discomfort.

Her initial act upon rising was to secure all the windows firmly shut, even the small one in the washroom, ensuring no chance of glimpsing a helmeted figure entering under cover of night. After everything was set in order, she exhaled a sigh of relief.

Just as she swung the door open to venture out, a ball came rolling in.

Xavier must have been lingering by the doorway, for he rolled in with a puzzled countenance. “Milly, up so early? Hungry, perhaps? I’ll go ask the caregiver to prepare some porridge for you.”

Milly frowned, eyeing his unchanged attire from the previous night. “You didn’t return home?”

Xavier’s voice held a hint of uncertainty and hurt. “I dared not. I feared you might seal the windows, barring my entry..

A moment of silence ensued.

Milly sighed inwardly, feeling scrutinised and oddly confined. “There’s plenty for breakfast. Why not join. me?”

Xavier’s eyes brightened instantly, moving closer eagerly. “Excellent! I knew you wouldn’t disappoint.”

Milly said no more; the meal proceeded somewhat smoothly, if one overlooked Xavier’s occasional attentive gestures and inquiries. She couldn’t quite fathom him now. If his intent was simply to make amends, wasn’t this excessive, especially for someone as proud as he?

Furthermore, she distinctly recalled making her feelings clear to him the night before. So why was he persisting with this display in her presence?
