“Yes,” Xavier said while gazing into her eyes, “you can slap me on my left cheek. If that still doesn’t appease you, you can hit me on the right. We can go home once you’re done hitting.”

“You mean it?” Winnie lifted her hand and pinched his cheek. “Come to think of it, that sounds like a good plan. I’ll leave blithely after hitting you. That would be quite a scene compared to how they asked me about the wedding earlier. But are you ready to do this?”

“Why ask me?” Xavier stared intently at her. “Just do it at your pace.”

Winnie narrowed her eyes. “Somehow, I feel you don’t want me to hit you.”

Under such circumstances, Xavier would always forget how he got mad in the first place.

Winnie chuckled. “Your bane is going to feed you some fruits now.”
