Chapter 44

blanket.“Winnie, don’t. I came to give you a gift.” He fished a box out of his pocket. “Sometimes it is better to believe something is real or true than to believe it is nonexistent or false. This bracelet is blessed and wearing it will keep you safe.” He wanted to help Winnie put it on, but she swung her arm and made him drop the bracelet.Xavier went to pick it up, then return to Winnie. When she caught him getting closer to her, she swung her arm again.Xavier patiently picked up the bracelet a couple of times, and in the end, he grabbed her hand forcefully.Winnie’s voice was filled with distaste when she shouted, “Go away! You’re disgusting! I don’t want to see you!”Xavier’s eyes were scarlet. “Put this on, Dumbo. I’ll leave as soon as you put it on. Be good and let me help you put it on, okay? It’ll just take a second.”The lights to the bathroom were turned off, and the door to the master bedroom was closed.Xavier was still dripping wet, but he didn’t care. He knew that things between him and Winnie were over.She didn’t know much once upon a time, but she enjoyed hanging out with him and getting close to him.At that moment, however, she loathed and feared him.I must have gone insane.Yulissa knew everything about sex, yet he didn’t feel a thing when she went all out to get him.All he did was hug Winnie, and that was enough to drive him insane. He lost control of his body right away.Unable to think straight, Xavier jumped into the swimming pool in the middle of the night.The icy water could chill anyone to their bones, but Xavier didn’t know if it was cold enough to put out the fire in his heart.That night, no one in the mansion slept well, and everyone looked horrible.Xavier was struggling with the fire in his heart, whereas Winnie was struggling with the disgust she felt. Yulissa, on the other hand, was just plain angry.She was especially upset when they left for the Fairchild residence because that was when she learned Winnie was also wearing a traditional gown and it was way more beautiful.It annoyed Yulissa so much that she was tempted to tear Winnie’s gown apart.Yulissa knew what had happened the night before.I seduced him endlessly, but he never even touched me. Instead, he went to that dumbass, Winnie, and made a huge mess in her room. I can’t believe it. He would rather force himself on a dumbass than sleep with an ordinary woman. In the end, he didn’t get what he wanted and was bitten on the lips so hard that he bled. Ugh, what a masochist.That discovery got Yulissa so angry that she couldn’t sleep the night before. That was why she had pimples all over her face in the morning, and she had to use thick makeup to cover them up.Still, Yulissa was somewhat happy that Xavier had made it so that the two of them were in the same car.At that moment, Yulissa was hugging Xavier’s arm and whispering into his ear in an ambiguous way despite Winnie being right there.Winnie and Jacinta were arranged to sit in another car. As they waited for the car to arrive, the former didn’t even bother to look at Xavier.Hence, as far as Winnie was concerned, Yulissa’s provocation was nothing but a show with no audience.The two cars traveled together, and they reached the Fairchild residence about an hour later.The place was even more lively than it usually was, and guests had filled the place.Even Benjamin Fairchild, who was rarely in the country, had made an effort to come back.Benjamin was Rufus’ eldest son and Xavier’s father.He was so busy that he couldn’t even visit Xavier when the latter first came out of his vegetative state. That day was the first time that year that the father and son had met.Xavier went over when he saw Benjamin and greeted him, “Dad.”“Mm.” Benjamin frowned the second he saw the bite mark on Xavier’s lips.When he shifted his gaze to Winnie,
