Winnie cocked her head and glanced at Xavier before saying with a chuckle, “If you’re doing everything for me, what am I supposed to do?”

Keeping his eyes ahead, the man held Winnie’s hand and replied, “It’s natural for a man to take care of his woman. Your job is just to stay pretty. Leave everything else to me.”

“Well, that makes sense.” Winnie smiled and squeezed Xavier’s hand before replying, “But am I not already pretty enough? Besides, I want to have first-hand information of what’s going on in the investigation.”

“I know.” Xavier gazed at her thoughtfully and said, “Don’t worry. I will keep you updated on the go. I won’t hide anything from you.”

Right after he finished speaking, Josiah picked up. “Xavier, what’s the matter?” the doctor asked.

“Regarding the person who looked like Greta, are you finding out what’s going on? Can we have a chat?”

“Oh. Sure,” Josiah agreed immediately. “Are you free this afternoon? I can go to your office.”

“This afternoon?” Xavier glanced at Winnie before replying, “Tonight is better. Come straight to Lagune Mansion.”

Josiah sounded slightly taken aback when he asked, “You’re not in the office today?”

“No,” Xavier replied and said, “I’ll see you tonight then.”

“All right. See you later.”

The two men hung up after that.

Winnie was slightly stunned as well. “Where are you going if not the office?”

The only thing on her schedule that day was to visit her grandmother at the psychiatric hospital. As the visit was already completed in the morning, Xavier did not have to accompany her anymore.

Xavier could easily tell what Winnie was thinking.

He reached out and tousled her hair while saying, “Silly girl. I’m staying with you and not going anywhere. I don’t need a reason to accompany you, right?”
