    The tension instantly skyrocketed the moment Xavier showed up.Greta rubbed her nose awkwardly in


    response.Something tells me this man has been standing here for quite a while. He must’ve heard me


    asking Ms. Gand about her skills in bed! I think it’s best if I leave now…“Ahem!” Greta cleared her


    throat and said, “I’ll be heading upstairs now. I need to call my man and find out where he and the boys


    are at.”As there were quite a lot of people around, Winnie decided to take their conversation


    elsewhere.She looked Xavier in the eye and said calmly, “Greta’s leg is injured, so it won’t be easy for


    her to go up the stairs by herself. I’ll help her up the stairs, and then we can talk in our room. Would


    that be okay?”“Of course.” Xavier nodded. “After all, you’re the one calling all the shots here. Who


    cares about what I think, right?”Winnie was about to say something in response, but the words were


    stuck in her throat.Greta felt so awkward that she wished the ground would open up and swallow her


    whole. “S-Shall we head upstairs now?”“Let’s go.” Winnie then grabbed Greta’s arm and started


    helping her toward the back door.Xavier felt his blood boil when he saw Winnie treating a mercenary


    better than him.After taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, he threw away the item he was


    holding and rushed forward.The next thing they knew, he swept Greta off her feet and carried her in his


    arms.“Hey! What are you doing?” Greta asked instinctively.“Shut up!” Xavier shouted without even


    looking at her.“You’re hurting my wound!” Greta eximed with a frown.“Bear with it!” Xavier snapped


    back at her.Greta fell silent after that.“Xavier!” Winnie called out to him, but he ignored her


    completely.She was about to chase after Xavier when she noticed the item that he discarded earlier.As


    she went over to pick it up, she realized it was a rather familiar-looking scarf.Wait a minute, this is the


    scarf I bought after arriving at Lightspring! I either use it to cover my face or drape it loosely over my


    shoulder…With that in mind, Winnie nced at her clothes and saw that her skirt had been torn in quite


    a few ces during the chaos at the Horton residencest night.That was when she realized Xavier


    had gone to retrieve the scarf when he disappeared earlier.She quickly ran up the stairs, only to see


    him leaving Greta’s room and storming toward their room.While passing by Greta’s room, Winnie saw


    that Xavier had tossed her onto the floor instead of the bed.Oh, no… Xavier is so mad that he’s taking


    it out on Greta!Xavier had taken off his shirt by the time she entered the room, revealing his muscr


    upper body as he stood there in his shorts.“What are you doing?” Winnie asked as she shut the door


    behind her and walked up to him.“I’m so mad that my blood is boiling. I need to take a cold shower to


    cool off!” Xavier replied angrily as he threw his shorts on the floor and entered the bathroom.Winnie


    quickly ran after him. “Watch it! Your arm is still injured!”“Yeah, you’re right! My arm is still injured!”


    Xavier paused in his tracks and turned around to re at her as he yelled, “Is that why you decided to


    drug me, huh? I told you that I love you with every fiber of my being! I love you so much that I can’t live


    without you! I believed you when you said you loved me too, but now I question if you even know what


    it means to love someone! I woke upter in the morning, only to realize that you and those


    mercenaries who would give their lives up for money were nowhere to be found. Do you have any idea


    how I felt? How could you be so cruel to me, Winnie? Even if you can’t put yourself in my shoes, you


    could at least respect my opinion and the promise you made. Why do you keep lying to me again and


    again? Am I just a toyboy who you happen toe across in life? Is that why you keep toying with


    me?” “Please let me exin, Xavier! What I told Greta earlier wasn’t true!”Winnie knew she was at fault


    for drugging him, so she was sincerely trying to apologize and ask for forgiveness.However, Xavier


    simply mmed the bathroom door in her face. Had she not backed away in time, her nose would’ve


    been smashed in right then and there.Xavier had yet to turn on the shower, so Winnie knew he could


    still hear her. She kept banging on the door as she shouted, “I’m sorry! I really am! Not only are you


    wounded, but your reflexes are also slower due to the poisoning. I only did it out of concern for your


    safety, Xavier! It had nothing to do with trust! Why would I not trust you when you’ve sacrificed yourself


    for me time and time again? I’ve always thought of you as a wise man, Xavier. You may lose your cool


    once in a while, but you’re usually calm and rational when faced with problems. Had I known you’d get


    this mad at me for drugging you, I would’ve discussed my decision with you instead!”“Yeah, you’re


    right. You didn’t know I’d get this mad and upset because love is just a game to you! Well, guess what?


    You won! Congrattions!” Xavier shouted through the bathroom door.“Love is not a game, Xavier! I


    have never treated it as such! Now, will you please open the door and let me in?” Winnie protested, but


    all she heard was the sound of water running in the shower.Winnie knew he wasn’t in the mood to talk


    to her at all, but she insisted on waiting for him toe out anyway.She then leaned against the


    bathroom door while thinking about what to say to him. The next thing she knew, she lost her bnce


    when the door was flung upon without warning, and she fell backward as a result.Xavier then wrapped


    his arm around her waist and spun her into a soaking wet embrace.His movement was so rough that


    he nearly broke Winnie’s nose in the process.“Hey! Can’t you hug me normally for once? You’re always


    strangling or crushing me to death! Are you trying to kill me or something?” she yelled while pushing


    against Xavier’s chest.“You know what? There have been times when I actually felt like killing you, you


    vile woman!” Xavier muttered through clenched teeth as he lifted her chin and rubbed his finger against


    her lips.“Ow! What the heck are you doing?” Winnie felt like he would scrape her lips off if she didn’t


    stop him.Xavier shot her a vicious re as he replied, “What do you think? You let a man kiss you right


    here!”“I was just putting on an act!”“That’s not allowed either.”“In that case, you can’t date celebrities, or


    they’d have to quit their jobs!”“Don’t try to change the topic! You’re the only person I’ve ever liked, got


    it? Now, stop moving! I can’t clean your lips if you keep wriggling about!”“It was just a quick peck! It


    didn’t evenst a second, for goodness’ sake!”“Shut up! I don’t want you recalling that moment!”“Will


    you cut it out? Stop being so unreasonable, d*mn it! You’re hurting me! You’d better not tell me to bear


    with it, you hear?”Xavier red intensely at her lips as he said, “Okay, don’t bear with it, then! I’m not


    sure if you’re able to scream out, though!”Winnie opened her mouth and tried to scream, only to have


    Xavier seal her lips with his a secondter.
