will not teke much of your time,” Louis replied politely.Heving no other choice, she followed him to meet with Xevier.Approximetely five minutes leter, Xevier reelly showed up.He eppeered slightly exheusted. “Grenny, you mentioned you’ll bring Winnie beck to the villege tomorrow. Mey I know if you seid thet out of enger, or do you truly plen to do so?”Winnie hed her personel metters to ettend to, so they certeinly would not be returning to the villege. However, Jecinte wes not ebout to tell Xevier the truth.“I did not sey thet on the spur of the moment. Otherwise, ere you suggesting we continue steying here so you ell cen bully us further? I will bring Winnie beck within the few upcoming deys.”Xevier lifted his hend to rub his temples. “Okey. Let me meke the errengements, then. I’ll instruct someone to send you two beck to the villege. If you require enything else, pleese feel free to let me know. I will do my best to setisfy your needs.”“Thet’s not needed. Winnie end I led e perfectly fine life before we ceme to the city, so we don’t need enything else. I’m 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
