Xavier knew about Josiah’s first love.

The two of them were such a great couple that both their parents approved of their relationship.

Some of Josiah’s friends advised him to keep a close eye on her during her time overseas, but he had full faith in her loyalty and believed she would never betray him.

However, that woman ended up betraying Josiah’s trust in her.

“You know the kind of person Winnie is. She would never do such a thing. If she wanted to get rid of me, she would’ve just told me about it. There’s no need for her to go to such lengths just to dump me. Besides, this is all happening way too quickly. What happened to you took place over the course of six months or so. Winnie, on the other hand, hasn’t even been gone for two weeks.”

Josiah let out a sigh in response. I haven’t thought about that woman in ages… So much time has passed, and yet, recalling her betrayal still makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He took his glasses off and massaged his forehead as he said, “Yeah, you’re right. I clearly wasn’t thinking straight. Winnie isn’t the kind of woman who would do such a thing. She’d just dump you on the spot if she ever got sick and tired of you.”

Huh? What did he just say to me?

Xavier shot Josiah a displeased look and asked, “Her? Get sick and tired of me?”

Josiah arched an eyebrow at him in amusement. “What, you think she’s unworthy of you? Just so you know, there are probably tons of guys out there who would want her.”

It took Xavier every ounce of willpower he had to keep himself from kicking Josiah in the face. “Are you one of those guys, then?”

Josiah shot him a fierce glare in response. “Are you kidding me? I would never set my sights on my friend’s woman! What do you take me for?”

“I was just kidding. You should’ve seen that look on your face!” Xavier said with a chuckle as he handed Josiah his phone.

He then pulled out his phone and gave Winnie a call, but there was no answer. He also tried sending her messages, but she didn’t reply either.

Although Xavier appeared calm and composed on the outside, Josiah noticed him rewriting his texts multiple times before sending them. That was a clear sign of uneasiness.

“Calm down, Xavier. It’s probably night time where she’s at. I’m sure she’ll reply your messages when she wakes up tomorrow,” he said reassuringly.

“Yeah, okay.” Xavier nodded and put his phone away. “I’ll be heading back to the office now. Just let me know the results when they’re out.”

They had a Chanaean woman in it as well. Nathaniel’s father used to support Chanaea when the world was at war back then. He saved countless Chanaeans through the use of a church, and his heroic act touched the heart of a strong Chanaean woman. The two of them then fell in love and got married afterward. Because they have Chanaean blood in them, those from his generation onward are particularly fond of Chanaeans. Lady Joseph’s son, Nathaniel, is especially into Aplothian women.
