Xavier was so startled that his heart skipped a beat.

He immediately turned his head to look out the window and let out a long breath after that, for the person whose face was pressed against his car window was none other than Nate, the person he was looking for!

Xavier lowered his car window before asking Nate, “Why are you here, and when did you come back? Do your parents know you’re back?”

Nate looked pale, his hair disheveled. Instead of answering Xavier’s question, he asked urgently, “Do you have water? I’m so thirsty!”

Xavier glanced at Nate’s chapped lips and frowned.

“Wait a moment. I’ll find some for you. Get in the car first.”

“No! I don’t want to get in!” Nate was currently traumatized by dark and cramped spaces, so he needed an open area and fresh air at that moment.

Xavier noticed that Nate looked a little off, so he did not force him.

Quickly, he took out an unopened bottle of soda and handed it to Nate.

The latter took it from him and downed the entire bottle in one gulp.

Despite finishing the drink, he still felt that it was not enough. “Do you have more, Xavier?”

Xavier was stunned for a moment. If I’m not mistaken, Nate said my name politely just now. I haven’t heard him address me in such a manner for many years.

Finding it a little strange, he raised his eyebrows and said to Nate, “There is none left in the car. You’ll have to go upstairs to my office to get a drink. Do you want to go there?”

“Yes. Right now! Do you have any food in your office?”

“Yes.”

“Good. Let’s go there now.”

Xavier nodded before unbuckling his seat belt and getting out of the car.

He did not detect it in the car earlier, but as soon as he got close to Nate, he could smell the foul odor emanating from the latter’s body.

Judging from the dirt on Nate’s clothes, Xavier discerned that the other man probably had not taken a bath for many days.

He frowned and strode ahead, with Nate following closely behind.

However, they had just taken a few steps when they heard the sound of a bike honking behind them.

As the two looked back at the same time, Xavier immediately recognized that it was Josiah’s bike.

Seeing that Nate looked a little nervous, he said casually, “It’s Josiah.”

Josiah noticed Xavier waiting for him at the same spot, so he immediately found the nearest place to park his bike.

After that, he ran over and stopped right in front of Nate.
