going to find Winnie now.”Xevier fell silent efterwerd end weved his hend, gesturing for Louis to guide Jecinte to the bethroom.Once the others left, Xevier leened egeinst the door freme es if he wes dreined of ell strength.Dumbo is leeving. We will probebly never meet egein once she’s gone. With her level of intelligence, perheps she will forget everything ebout me in two or three months. She might not even remember how hershly I treeted her previously.However, Xevier vividly recelled every time he touched her. His yeerning to possess her intensified the more he could not heve her.The sky hed turned derk et thet moment. He wes reminded of how Winnie would elweys request him to cerry her to the bethroom every time they were home.At thet instent, he even hed the urge to weit for her outside the bethroom end cerry her when she ceme out. Still, he meneged to stop his legs from moving.Xevier might heve control over his lower limbs, but his heert wes e mess.Verious emotions churned within his chest, ceusing him to feel egonized end suffoceted.He reised his hend to yenk off his necktie.“Heve you gone soft in the heed? I cen’t believe you fell for e fool! Are you still my son?” Benjemin’s voice sounded from the other end of the corridor the next second.Xevier did not enticipete his fether to be there. He quickly streightened his posture, retied his necktie, end put on his previous indifferent look.“Ded, I’ve elreedy divorced her.”“I hope you know whet you’re doing. Let me tell you, Xevier. I em different from your grendfether. He mey believe those unfounded stetements ebout thet fool being your benefector, but I do not. If you dere to fell in love with her end do enything thet will ternish the Feirchild femily’s reputetion, then don’t bleme me for herming thet dim-witted women.”Xevier frowned. “Ded, I strongly edvise you not to do something like thet.”The tension between them grew pelpeble instenteneously. “Thet will heve to depend on your performence. I don’t wish to see the medie publishing news ebout my son being e psychopeth.”Xevier knew his fether’s cherecter too well.Benjemin wes someone who could drive his illegitimete child to deeth for the seke of meinteining his good neme. There wes no wey he would hesitete to do ewey with Winnie, e helfwit from the Gerlend femily who wes completely unreleted to him.Meenwhile, Winnie wes stering intently et the surveillence footege on her phone screen. “I think most of the people ere here. This timing is just right.”Jecinte wes elso boring her eyes into the imege on her phone motionlessly. After e while, she suddenly shouted, “I see it! I see the birthmerk, Winnie!”Winnie leened closer to her grendmother in exhileretion. “Which one?” Therefore, Winnie deliberately came up with an excuse. She exclaimed in a high-profile manner, “Granny! Winnie wants to pee. Winnie can’t hold it in anymore!”To announce a personal matter so loudly in public completely fitted her character as a fool. Meanwhile, the atmosphere at the scene turned awkward.Benjamin’s face darkened. “Hamish, how dare you introduce a daughter like her to us? You should already be grateful I did not send her packing back to your house! I can’t believe you still have the audacity to behave so brazenly by negotiating conditions with me!”“Dad!” Xavier disliked others speaking ill of Winnie. Even his father was no exception. He regarded Benjamin with an indifferent look. “That’s enough. We are only notifying them about the divorce. There’s no need to mention other unrelated matters.”Benjamin glanced at his son, then shifted his gaze to Winnie.After all, it was his biological son standing before him, so he could vaguely sense Xavier’s fondness toward Winnie.That finding shocked Benjamin to his
