Chapter 378
As they were arriving at Lagune Mansion, Louis received a phone call.

A problem came up at the office, and neither Louis nor the senior executives could solve it, so he asked if Xavier could go over to the office to check it out.

Xavier was dog-tired, but he couldn’t ignore the issue his company was facing.

He said to Winnie, “I’ll send you back to the mansion first so that you can rest. If I can’t make it home for lunch, I’ll definitely be back for dinner.”

“Go on.” Winnie nodded in acknowledgment. “It’s all right if you can’t make it back in time for dinner. But come home as soon as you finish your work, okay? You need to rest as well.”

“Okay.” Xavier hugged Winnie tightly and kissed her forehead. After that, he instructed the driver to drive faster and proceeded to talk to Louis about work.

Around ten minutes later, they arrived at the compound of the mansion.

Xavier wanted to send Winnie to the entrance of the mansion, but she rejected him, saying, “Here is fine. You guys should turn around and go to the office. I’ll have Josiah walk me in.”

Xavier held her hand and frowned in response. “Are you not tired?”

Winnie shook her head. “I got into the car right after I got off the plane. I want to walk and stretch my limbs.”

Josiah had a feeling Winnie had something to tell him, so he said, “Go on, Xavier. You can’t possibly be worried about leaving Ms. Garland with me, right?”

Josiah was joking around, but Xavier wasn’t in the mood to bicker with him. “All right, I’ll go to the office first. Call me if anything crops up.”

“Sure.” Josiah flashed a smile and said to the driver, “Stop here.”

After the driver stopped the car, Josiah immediately got out of the car to assist Winnie.

Once Winnie had gotten out of the car as well, Josiah went to close the car door.

Before Josiah could close it, Xavier blocked it with his hand.
