He took one look at Winnie and felt that he had to come clean.

In the past, he was not aware of the relationship between Winnie and Xavier, so he kept his feelings to himself.

However, she was no longer with Xavier.

There was no need for him to hide his feelings anymore.

Christopher sat upright and said in a serious manner, “To be honest, I have known Winnie since five years ago.”

“Five years ago?” exclaimed Jacinta when she heard his answer.

Even Winnie, who was feeling depressed, could not help but frown.

She eyed Christopher in confusion.

A gentleness took over the iciness in Christopher’s eyes as he recalled the past.

In an instant, Winnie could not accept that sort of expression coming from someone who was not close to her.

She unconsciously frowned and even put down her cutlery.

“You knew me? Or perhaps, you have seen me before? I don’t recall us meeting five years ago.”

“We spoke before.” Christopher pursed his lips and blushed. “Five years ago, we met in a bank. Back then, there was an armed robbery there. One of the robbers had a bomb on him. I was in charge of the sniper team. You were very brave and quick-thinking. Before we got into our positions, I saw from the surveillance camera how you saved the others. Later on, a pregnant woman was taken hostage by the robbers. You volunteered to swap places with the lady. I had a new colleague back then, and he was quite young. It was his first mission. I still remember what you told him back then.”

Before Christopher could speak out, Winnie said what she said five years ago, “Keep up the hard work, officer! You drive the criminals back every time you take a step forward!”
