    While speaking, Winnie walked to the couch with Xavier and sat down.Lucas subsequently took his


    seat opposite them.The grim look on Xavier’s face told him that he had somehow imposed himself on


    them.Nheless, as someone who never minced his words, Lucas spoke unabashedly.“Winnie, how


    can you forget your friend just because you have a husband? Can’t I drop by for a casual visit


    anymore? Have you forgotten how we used to always chatte into the night? We even talked about


    our hopes and dreams while admiring the stars and moon in the night sky. I didn’t expect you to have


    forgotten me after being consumed by love. I’m so hurt!”Winnie was rendered speechless. “Why are


    you being so melodramatic? Have you been reading too many trashy novels? Do you know why you’re


    so annoying?”“Why?” Lucas was indeed clueless.Winnie didn’t hold back her tongue. “It’s all because


    of that bbermouth of yours. You had better stop trying to sow discord in front of my husband.


    Otherwise, I won’t be able to save you if he beats you up.”“Does our friendship not mean anything now


    that you’ve found love?” Nheless, Lucas was just teasing her and knew when not to cross the


    line.Hence, he quickly brought up the real reason why he was there. “I just came from my sister’s. She


    told me that you’re done with your business here and will be going back soon. Since I figured that you


    haven’t had the opportunity to unwind recently, why don’t you spend more time in Rodunst? There’s no


    need to hurry home. Anyway, I rushed over because I was worried that you would leave overnight. I


    just wanted to volunteer my services as a tour guide since I know the ce like the back of my hand.


    Also, I’ll be the most attentive guide you’ll ever have. I’ll be by your side when you need me and happily


    let you toss me aside when you don’t. So, what do you think?”Xavier was at a loss for words, for he


    wanted to kick Lucas out at that very moment.Little did he expect Winnie to agree. “Sure. Actually, my


    husband and I were just discussing what to do next. We did intend on spending a few days visiting the


    nearby ind. Now that the King of Ships is coincidentally sitting right opposite me, you have to get us


    a yacht. That will save my husband the trouble of having to arrange for one.”“Of course. Your wish is


    mymand,” Lucas readily agreed before changing his tact. “However, can you stop mentioning your


    husband at every turn? Who are you trying to show off to?”“You, obviously. You’re the one who’s still


    single. I have a husband, while you don’t.” Winnie shed a mischievous smile as she hugged Xavier’s


    arm tightly and leaned against him.She was getting back at Lucas for mentioning in front of Xavier how


    they chattedte into the night under the stars.As for Xavier, the tension in his brows gradually eased


    after hearing Winnie mention him repeatedly. By the time Lucas and Winnie discussed the details of the


    trip, his initial hostility had already dissipated.Lucas was also sensitive to the situation. Having no


    intention of getting in Winnie and Xavier’s way, he wrapped up the discussion quickly and left.Upon his


    departure, the impatient Xavier pulled Winnie onto the couch.Biting her lip gently, he nuzzled his head


    against hers. “What did you just call me just now? Hmm? Can you say it again?” “You enjoy hearing it?”


    Cognizant that Xavier was talking about the word “husband,” Winnie refused to satisfy his request.


    “No.”“Why not? In that case, don’t me me for doing this.”Both of them fooled around for a while


    before stopping to catch their breath.Winnie subsequently pulled Xavier into her embrace and


    exined earnestly, “Don’t take Lucas seriously, as he was just teasing you. Both of us are good


    friends, and our rtionship has always been tonic. I even got to know Lisanne through him. He’s


    actually someone who knows where to draw the line.”“Mmm-hmm.” Xavier tidied Winnie’s messy hair


    for her as he replied, “I’m well aware that he was joking just now and the fact that he’s a good friend of


    yours. That’s why I didn’t reject his suggestion. Besides, his presence would be helpful when we sail


    out to sea. I don’t have to worry about you being alone on the yacht when I go diving. I would have


    concerns if it were anyone else.”“I’m d to hear that.” Winnie gently massaged Xavier’s head. “Lucas


    is a good man. I hope that both of you can be friends, just like how Josiah and I are now. He’s


    both a friend of yours and mine. That said, I’m not forcing the issue. We’ll just let it develop


    naturally.”After grunting in acknowledgment, Xavier got up and lifted Winnie in his arms. “Time for


    bed.”The next morning, even though it was past the agreed time to depart, Lucas waited till Winnie


    emerged in the dining room before speaking to her.That day, the three of them set sail for a small


    ind nearby.There wasn’t any particr activity on the first day. Thus, they simply walked around the


    ind to familiarize themselves with it.It wasn’t until the second day that they sailed out to fish.While


    Xavier went diving, Lucasmandeered the yacht and fished at the same time.Winnie, too, hooked


    up a bait, hoping to catch something bigger than Lucas.By using the line method to fish, there was no


    need to keep an eye on the buoy. One could feel the tension the moment a fish had taken the bait,


    making it easy enough for Winnie to pick up quickly.In the end, Lucas didn’t catch anything, while


    Winnie caught two fish. This was despite both of them having thrown out their lines at the same


    time.Lucas couldn’t help feeling frustrated. “This doesn’t make sense. There are probably no fishes on


    my side of the ocean. I’ll move to the bow and try my luck there. Call me if you need anything.”Winnie


    was naturally in a good mood. “There’s no stopping Lady Luck once she’s with you. Go on ahead. I’ll


    be staying here.”“Just you wait.” Lucas dered confidently, “I’ll beat you soon enough!”With that, both


    of them fished on different sides.A short while passed before Winnie suddenly heard a phone ring


    beside her.She recognized from the ringtone that it was Xavier’s phone. He had left it in her care before


    going diving.Now that they had a habit of picking up calls on the other’s behalf, Winnie answered it


    without any hesitation.“Hello, this is Xavier’s phone. May I know who’s on the line?”After a brief pause,


    an irritated voice rang out. “I’m well aware that this is Xavier’s phone. Who are you? Is that you,


    Winnie?”
