Seeing Winnie getting up, Xavier instantly locked her in his arms. “He’s still outside?”

Winnie grunted in response. “He says he’s here to apologize to me, so I told him to wait outside. In fact, I was about to ask you about it. Why is he here? Did you bring him here?”

Xavier grabbed her fingers and nibbled them gently. “No way. I was in a hurry to see you. Why would I bring him along? He was the one who tagged along. I saw him when I was getting off the plane. At that time, I figured it was too late for me to send him away. Then again, we should still put our guard up even if he says he’s here to ask for forgiveness. This rascal’s mind has been full of evil tricks since he was young.”

“All right. I’ll go meet him now.” Winnie nodded.

When Xavier saw her getting out of bed, he, too, sat up immediately. “I’ll go with you.”

She glanced at him and pressed his shoulders. “It’s been a long day for you. Maybe you should get some rest.”

Xavier was stunned. He knew she did not want him to tag along.

He eyed her, frowning slightly. “Why?”

Not wanting to hide the truth from him, she admitted, “It’s about Christopher. Just give me more time. There’s no avoiding this topic when I see Nate.”

So that’s the reason… Xavier gazed at her in silence.

“All right. I’ll do as you say.” Despite saying that, Xavier still stood up.

He picked a shirt from the wardrobe beside the bed and handed it to her. “Put this on.”

“All right. I’ll do as you say,” Winnie repeated his words in the same manner while taking the shirt.

Xavier took her hand, unable to hold in a chuckle. “Do you need my help putting it on?”
