“Mm!” Winnie nodded and joked, “You must be bored being a vegetable, huh?”

“Yes,” Xavier replied with a frown. He relaxed when he lowered his head to look at Winnie. “But I’ve never been bored ever since you showed up.”

“Of course,” Winnie replied proudly. “It is rare to find someone as attractive as me. Well…” She flung her arms around Xavier’s neck to pull him closer until he had to bend down. “You should take more days off so we can travel around. When I was climbing Mount Albeise a few days ago, I wanted to bring you along to enjoy the view with me.”

“Really?” Xavier’s eyes lit up. “Were you thinking of me when you were climbing the mountain?”

“Yes!” Winnie giggled. “Don’t you know I went to Yartran because I missed you?”

“Mm.” Xavier gazed at Winnie, his gaze burning with passion.

Ignoring the fact that they were in the bustling airport, he captured her lips in a kiss.

Winnie responded to his kiss for a while before pushing him away gently. “We’re blocking the path.”

Xavier wasn’t satisfied yet. He stood rooted in his spot and joked, “I should buy this airport one day.”

“Sure!” Winnie played along with him. “Everyone will have to take the Fairchild family’s planes, then.”

“Okay.” Xavier got serious. “I need to work hard to accomplish the mission you just handed me, Mrs. Fairchild.”

From today onward, he wasn’t only working hard for the Fairchild family. He wanted to become stronger to get closer to his beloved woman.

Xavier initially planned to send Winnie to Aqua Moana himself, but Winnie didn’t want him to waste time on the road. In the end, she returned to the apartment herself.
