“I know you’re angry at me, Winnie. I don’t want you to go to bed angry. Also, I don’t want you to leave me without saying anything, so I must explain myself.” Xavier sounded very sincere.

As a result, Winnie could not bear to lash out at him.

After all, the person who hit her and humiliated her was Benjamin, not Xavier.

“It seems you already know what happened,” she said.

“Yes. I asked Louis, and he told me everything. I would like to apologize to you on behalf of my father.”

“How is that any good?” she asked petulantly.

“I just don’t want you to resent my father. If anything, you should blame me because I didn’t tell him I’m still alive. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have done what he did.”

“Oh? Are you saying that I deserved that slap?”

Xavier frowned. “That’s not what I mean, Winnie. I promise you I’ll get my father to apologize to you once I’ve settled everything, okay?”

In actuality, Winnie was not an unreasonable woman. Besides, she was moved by Xavier’s sincerity.

However, she had her dignity. After all, her face was swollen from that slap.

“Hmph! By the time you’ve settled everything, it’s going to be too late! You can’t manage to do anything now, can you? Even Josiah is better than you.”

“Josiah? What do you mean?” Xavier flashed a smile because he could tell that Winnie’s mood was getting better. It seems like she’s not as angry anymore.

“He’s great! When your dad was scolding me and hitting me, he kept protecting me. He had even defended me and taken care of my face. He’s so much better than you.”

Xavier chuckled. She’s so cute when she’s throwing a tantrum.

However, jealousy and guilt soon overwhelmed him.

He was blaming himself for not being there when she needed him.

At the same time, he was jealous of his friend. “Speaking of Josiah, Louis told me Josiah had gone after you. Where is he now? Is he at the Garland residence?”

“No. He left. He thought I was foolish for putting myself in trouble by coming back to the Garland residence. However, I know what I’m doing. I have my own plans.”

“Oh, I see. He’s not that great after all. Judging by how you were praising him, I thought he would’ve gone into the Garland residence to get you out.”

Xavier was not happy with the fact that Winnie was praising Josiah. Hence, he wanted to feel better about himself at Josiah’s expense.

Winnie was not stupid, though. She knew what Xavier was up to.

With a smile, she retorted, “Well, at least Dr. Houghton came over, no? How about you? Where are you now?”

Xavier went silent for a while. With a stern tone, he said, “Winnie, you know I can’t show myself, right?”
