Chapter 41

hit—”Before she could finish her sentence, he growled, “I won’t. Come over here right this instant.”Nonetheless, Winnie continued shaking her head.This scoundrel clearly doesn’t have any patience. I feel as though he’s going to storm over and drag me away any minute now.But right at that moment, Yulissa strode over.She went straight to Xavier and took his arm anxiously.“What’s the matter, Xavier? Why are you scaring Winnie like that? Didn’t you say you’re tired? Hurry up and go back to your room to rest for a while. I’ll give you a massage.”Xavier frowned. It seemed that those words did nothing to dissuade him, as he still looked as though he was about to explode with rage.Seeing that, Yulissa stood on tiptoes and whispered something in his ear.Her voice was so soft that it was only audible to both of them.“Xavier, you said you’d make an effort so we could go back to how we were before. If that’s the case, come with me now, okay?”Xavier lowered his gaze and glanced at Yulissa. That’s right. I brought her to Lagune Mansion so that I could tear my heart away from Dumbo.“Okay. Let’s go.” However, just as the pair turned to leave, Winnie’s voice rang out. “Mr. Xavier?”Xavier halted his footsteps almost the very second he heard her call out to him.When Yulissa saw his reaction, her blood boiled, and her disgust toward Winnie intensified.“Winnie won’t get into your car again, Mr. Xavier. But one of Winnie’s toys is missing. If you find Winnie’s toy later, are you going to throw it away as if it’s garbage?”She had been pretty sure that Xavier was the one who found her badge. And with his IQ, he would probably be able to figure out who left it behind.Moreover, from its material to its craftsmanship, the badge was priceless. Even if an average person picked it up from the pavement, they probably would not discard it just like that.However, after seeing how close he and Yulissa were, she couldn’t help doubting his judgment. If he could be in a relationship with her, then he might really toss it away, thinking it was trash.Hence, she finally decided to ask him that question to be on the safe side.“I won’t.”“Really? But Winnie’s toy is old and broken. Would you think it was garbage if Winnie accidentally left it inside your car?”“I said I wouldn’t. Not just anyone is allowed into my car. Even if it were garbage, I wouldn’t throw it away just like that.”Winnie turned to the driver and asked, “How about you? Are you going to throw it away if you find it?”“Of course not. As Mr. Xavier said, not just anyone is allowed into his car. I’d ask first even if it was trash.”“That’s enough, Winnie. If you can’t find it today, the driver will definitely find it when he washes the car the next time and return it to you then,” Yulissa piped up. She did not want Xavier to stay anywhere near Winnie for even a second longer.This dumbass looks like such a damsel in distress that without any self-control, any average man wouldn’t be able to resist it. I mean, look at that useless driver. He’s already feeling sorry for her.“Actually, I think it’s better this way, Xavier. She’s afraid of you now and doesn’t dare to get close to you. She won’t be able to cause you any more trouble. I also heard from Josiah that this could be a side effect of your coma that has
