Without a change in his expression, Xavier asked, “Dumbo, since when did you know how to drive?”

Winnie glanced at him again. “Do you think a dumb person would know how to drive? Take your time to mull over it.”

He then fell silent for some time, gently stroking the back of her hand.

By the time he spoke again, there was a deep frown between his eyebrows.

“Can I be cured?” he asked.

Winnie’s heart skipped a beat, and she almost ran a red light.

She slammed on the brakes and nodded at Xavier.

“Yes. Trust me,” she replied.

Xavier grunted in response, but his expression had become more serious.

“If I’m cured, will you still be the same Dumbo?”

“Why do you ask?”

“Because I keep getting the feeling that…” His voice trailed away as he eyed Winnie. A sense of stuffiness arose in his heart.

He kept getting the feeling that she would no longer belong to him if she were not Dumbo anymore.

Even so, he could not let her know his concern. She has to belong to me, only me.

The man suddenly reached out an arm and cupped the back of Winnie’s head before leaning over and kissing her hard.

Only when the car behind them honked did Winnie push Xavier away.

She quickly found a spot to park the car and threw herself at him.

“How could you do that when I’m driving, huh? Do you wish to die?” she growled.

Within the tight space inside the car, Xavier’s big, warm hands explored Winnie’s body.
